Ancient Egyptian cosmetic pallet

Stone palettes were used as surfaces on which to grind green or black pigments into powder.

After adding gum-like adhesive to the powder, the mixture was applied as eye makeup.

Before 4000 B.C., the Predynastic peoples of peoples of Upper Egypt had already developed a strong belief of burying their surplus wealth with them,

Thombs were kinds of mini homes, with great attention given to the needs of the dead.

The deceased were laid on reed mats and invariably accompanied by grave offerings that reflected their relative wealth and aspects of their daily life:

tools such as flint knives, scrapers and arrowheads.
