Embalming procedure was developed and perfected even a few thousand years BC. The most widely it was used in ancient Egypt, where the embalmed and people (from the Pharaohs to the commoners), and animals. In the manufacture of mummies Egyptians helped by nature. Modern scientists have found that the quickest decay of the human body occurs at a temperature of 37-45 degrees and humidity of 40-60 percent. In the Egyptian desert during the day temperature rose to 45 degrees, and at night fell to 15-20. Humidity was extremely low, and the oxygen supply was stopped multiple tight wrapping of the corpse in balms and impregnated with special resin fabric. Wrapped so the body initially kept in a special bath with embalming fluids, and then left in a well ventilated area until it turned into a mummy. Under such conditions, bacteria, mostly destroyers of corpses, it was impossible to survive. Egyptians carefully purged and thrown out all the insides, disinfected, and the corpse was added to the impregnating balms substance with a strong disinfectant properties.
Egypt is probably the world's oldest civilization having emerged from the Nile Valley around 3,100 BC, historically. Egypt is probably one of the oldest vacation spots. Early Greeks, Romans and others went there just for fun, and to see the wonders of some of mankind's earliest triumphs. But Egypt is much more than Pyramids and monuments. It is also Red Sea scuba diving, hot night spots, luxury hotels and five star restaurants. It is romantic cruises down the Nile on festive river boats, a night at the grand opera and it is a cultural experience like none you have ever experienced. Egypt is a land bustling with life, sound, visual beauty and excitement. More than anything else, we want you to think of Egypt as fun. For thousands of years, it has been the playground of emperors and kings, and we hope you will take the time to find out why. The Flag of Egypt The first national flag of modern Egypt was established by a Royal Decree in 1923 when Egypt gained conditional independence from Great Britain in 1922. The color was green with a white crescent and three stars in the middle. In 1958, a Presidential Decree established a new flag for the United Arab Republic which comprised a merger of Syria and Egypt. The new flag had three colors: red, white with 2 green stars and black. The flag was rectangular in shape and the width was one-third of its length. In 1972, the Law was amended to change the flag. The stars were removed from the flag and replaced by a golden hawk. In 1984, the hawk was replaced by a golden eagle on the eagle of Saladdin, the Ayubbid Sultan who ruled Egypt and Syria in 12th Century, the same Saladdin of the Crusades. Color Symbolism The color red refers to the period before 1952 Revolution which brought a group of army officers to power after deposing King Farouk, then King of Egypt. This was a period characterized by the struggle against the British occupation of the country. The white symbolizes the advent of the 1952 Revolution which ended the monarchy without bloodshed. The color black symbolizes the end of the opression of the people of Egypt at the hands of the Monarchy and British colonialism. The National Anthem (Hear it) My homeland, my homeland, my hallowed land, Only to you, is my due hearty love at command, My homeland, my homeland, my hallowed land, Only to you is my due hearty love at command, Mother of the great ancient land, My sacred wish and holy demand, All should love, awe and cherish thee, Gracious is thy Nile to humanity, No evil hand can harm or do you wrong, So long as your free sons are strong, My homeland, my homeland, my hallowed land, Only to you, is my due hearty love at command. Words and Music by Sayed Darwish. This national anthem was adapted after 1979. Prior to that, the National Anthem was "Walla Zaman Ya Selahy" (Oh, My Weapon) with words by Salah Shahyrn and Music by Kamal Atawyl.
Pyramids of Egypt for its perfect proportions, the gigantic scale and simplicity of the structure has always enthralled the ancient Greeks. Apparently, they saw these facilities as the first stage of transition from earthly life to heavenly. Therefore, such attention was given to the external shape of a pyramid. Not just the builders of the pyramids of Egypt came to their perfect form. We know there are step-pyramid, diamond-shaped, and others. Before the period of rule of the third dynasty of Egypt Pharaohs burial and just nobles were made in horizontal mastaba. Mastaba word of Arabic origin and means "bench." All mastaba were performed in equal horizontal designs. This fact did not like the pharaohs, who were thus equalized with intimates. Therefore, the main reasons for developing new designs were not only religious but also ideological motives. I want to note that the construction of step pyramids has occurred spontaneously. So, on the order of the ruler of the Third Dynasty Pharaoh Djoser, who lived in 2667-2597 BC, and was built in ancient Egypt, the first step pyramid - the pyramid of Djoser. Pyramid of Djoser was located in the Saqqara necropolis to the west of Memphis, where the royal personages were buried. Architect of this huge structure was well-known and highest dignitary of Djoser - Imhotep. He directly supervised the construction of the pyramids, but Manetho records that describe many Egyptian traditions tell us that Imhotep was also a founder of the stone building at the time.
