Answer 2

Walking around Beyond Beauty, the new exhibition organised by charitable foundation the Bulldog Trust in the neo-Gothic mansion of Two Temple Place in central London, you would be forgiven for thinking that the ancient Egyptians were insufferably vain.

Many of the 350 exhibits, drawn from the overlooked collections of Britain’s regional museums, consist of what we would call beauty products, of one sort or another.

There are dinky combs and handheld mirrors made of copper alloy or, more rarely, silver. There are siltstone palettes, carved to resemble animals, which were used for grinding minerals such as green malachite and kohl for eye makeup. Думаю провилна ели ошибка сорри

Answer 3

1) The ancient Egyptians took a lot of care over their appearance. 2) Having an attractive hairstyle, for example, was of great importance. 3) The majority of upper-class men and women cut their hair off and wore wigs. 4) There are a number of reasons for why they did this. 5) Egyptians took great pride in their wigs and made no attempt to pretend that they still had their natural hair. 6) Egyptian law forbade slaves and servants from wearing them. 7) Children in ancient Egypt also had unusual hairstyles. 8) A child's hair was completely shaved except for one long strand on the side of their head. 9) They kept this style until they became adults.

The ancient Egyptians valued their appearance and considered having an attractive hairstyle to be essential. Upper-class individuals often opted to cut off their hair and wear wigs, primarily for reasons such as staying cool in Egypt's hot climate and avoiding problems like hair lice. Wearing wigs was a sign of upper-class status, and it was forbidden by Egyptian law for slaves and servants to wear them. Even children had unique hairstyles, with their heads completely shaved except for one long strand on the side, a style they maintained until they reached adulthood.
