Colours in Ancient Egypt - E-book - ePub

Colours have been used since the ancient Egyptian era, (i.e. prehistoric times) when the ancient Egyptians would draw and record their daily work, and they also used to record religious scriptures on the walls of temples and tombs, as they believed in resurrection and immortality, and that's why drawing and recording on walls, tombs and temples was considered for two purposes: the first being religious, and the second is worldly.
The ancient Egyptians were helped in this by the multitude of colours and colour sources from which the colour was extracted, colours also became special symbols for the ancient Egyptians.
