Fashion of the Egytian

I found an interesting website. It's all about Egypt Art.

The artist is Richard Deurer. 

*Click me if you want to have a look*

Kind of admire him that he can do very well on this.

Now I am going to share some Ancient Egyptian Fashion.

Royality

I found that Royality's clothing has a lot of yellow colour. Maybe it's made by gold.

To show that they are the Superemes among Egyptian.

I would like to try the rightmost women's cloth if I had a chance :D

Looks like there's a lot of cloth on her but it didn't make me feel hot.

And I like the design because they can combine the jewelry with cloth so well.

I had once tried Ancient Greek's cloth before, but I think I like the Egyptian's more than Greek's XD

Nobility

Here is the Nobility's clothing.

Looks like the Vizier is the wealthiest among them. (Mire jewelry and better cloth?)

Governor is holding something like feather? Is the function same like a fan ? XP

Scribe is half naked. I think it's because he don't need to walk under the hot sun.

By the way, Scribe is a person who copies out documents before printing was invented.

Governor is the local sheriff and Vizier means officials.

This is one of the clothing around 1300 B.C.

A type named Shawl Draped Style. This style has a strong resemblance to Indian sari styles of today. 

Sari will show your waist but this one won't xD

Hope you enjoy this post and fall in love with Egyptian Fashion.

And thanks to Richard Deurer too :)

Mdw Nṯr

If anyone is wondering why the title of my blog is Mdw Nṯr, I'm now going to explain to you :D



Mdw Nṯr, or usually people call it Egyptian hieroglyphs, were a formal writing system used by the ancient Egyptians that combined logographic and alphabetic elements. 


The word hieroglyphs, a Greek word that means  "The Sacred Engraved Letters" could be written with pen and ink on papyrus or painted or carved into stone. It was carefully drawn to make the signs as accurate as possible.


I love everything about Ancient Egypt but I never had a chance to really truly go through the details. So I decided to choose Ancient Egypt as my theme to let me understand more about them and at the same time, improve my view of design and drawing skills. 


Compare to the others ancient cultures' hieroglyphs, I think Mdw Nṯr is the prettiest and the most vivid hieroglyph.They look tidy, and it's like each of every symbol is showing their own stories. They can be sentences, they can be a picture. The designers merged their lives into hieroglyph, merged the design to their lives.

Here is an Egyptian Hieroglyph's alphabet table that I found on internet. Quite confuse though.

This should be more easier to see.

From the table above, you can find the symbols that I drew on the header.
Is "Mdw Ntr"! XD
I especially like to draw the alphabet "M"

If had a chance I really want to learn about how to decipher Egyptian Hieroglyph.
Why did snake is linked to "J"? And why did "o" and "u" referred to the same animal? ...etc.
