How to Bathe Like Cleopatra

-
Cleopatra, the ancient queen of Egypt, was said to bathe in milk. Although this might sound silly at first, she bathed in milk because it softens your skin.

Steps

  1. Fill the bathtub up with water.
  2. Add about 6 cups of milk to the water. Swish and swirl it around so that the water becomes white.
  3. Get in the bath. You should stay in for about ten minutes.
  4. Rinse with clean, clear water.

Tips

  • You don't have to use 6 cups, but make sure you use no less then 4 cups and no more than 8 cups.
  • Bathing in milk may seem gross, but it really isn't! It softens your skin, it's calming, and you rinse it off when your done anyway.
  • If you want, you can add a little bit of honey (1/4 teaspoon at the least and 1/2 cup at the most). You don't have to add honey because it's sticky and can be kind of gross.
  • You can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the bath if you want.

Construct a pyramid by taping the sides together. (Optional) Make a false floor that fits inside the pyramid without lifting it up anywhere. Align the pyramid so that the baselines point at magnetic north and south. Use a traditional compass to find these directions. Tips Test the Power of the Pyramid: Put as many used razor blades as you wish on the false floor of the pyramid so that they point east to west. Leave the razor blades overnight and see if they have gotten any sharper by being in the pyramid. Some people claim the shape has the power to dehydrate organic material. Flow...

How to Be an Egyptian Queen to Others

-
Egyptian queens were said to be clever and beautiful, but most of all incredibly powerful. People belived they were godesses. Here are a few tips to make sure that your friends and family recognise that, deep down, you are an Egyptian Queen too. Steps Look the part. Float around in a white tunic, strappy sandals and dozens of bracelets. Most female pharaohs also wore a false beard - that's one tradition you might want to avoid. Egypt was a hot country, so nudity was completely normal and even royalty wore as little as possible. Your clothing should be made of linen or cotton and very light. If you can get away with it, don't wear a top. Wear lots of make-up. Especially lots of heavy black eyeliner (learn to apply kohl) and a little bit of green eyeshadow.

Personal appearance was so important that jars of makeup were put in tombs so the dead would have them in the next...
