The mystery of Nefertiti: scientists learned how the Egyptian ruler fascinated everyone with her beauty

The legendary queen of Egypt, Nefertiti, remains one of the most mysterious figures in ancient history, known for her unsurpassed beauty. Historical records testify to her exceptional attractiveness, which corresponded to the canons of beauty of her era.

Egyptologists have argued for many years that Nefertiti followed the customs of her time, including wearing a wig on her head and using a special black eye makeup known as "kohl," which emphasized her expressive facial features. In addition, she followed the tradition of removing all body hair, which was a characteristic feature of beauty in those days.

In ancient Egypt, it was customary to make cosmetics from thick lead ore, which is known to harm health. Thus, every time she applied makeup, Nefertiti risked her health.

To maintain youthfulness and elasticity of the skin, Nefertiti regularly took baths with fragrant jasmine water and then used sandalwood and amber oils.

The basis of Nefertiti's beauty was her unique and vibrant style. She preferred clothes made of transparent fabrics, wore wigs with colorful inserts and large jewelry. Her look was completed by unique accessories made of silver, bronze, precious stones, ivory, and ceramics.
