Unveiling Ancient Egypt: Intriguing Customs and Astonishing Reversals
In Herodotus' writings, he observed some intriguing customs in ancient Egypt that differed from the norms in the rest of the Mediterranean world. One peculiar practice he noted was that women in Egypt engaged in public work and business activities, while men often took on domestic chores. This reversal of gender roles was particularly striking to him.
Herodotus also mentioned the contrast in bathroom etiquette. According to his accounts, Egyptian men preferred to sit while urinating, whereas women stood. This uncommon practice deviated from the conventional expectations found in other societies.
Furthermore, Herodotus remarked upon Egyptian men wearing makeup and cosmetics, while women refrained from using them. This custom of enhancing their appearance was unique among the ancient cultures Herodotus encountered.
Herodotus' writings provide a fascinating glimpse into the distinct customs and social dynamics of ancient Egypt, revealing a society where traditional gender roles were reversed, bathroom practices differed, and a culture of male beauty was embraced. These unusual practices contribute to our understanding of the rich tapestry of ancient civilizations, sparking curiosity and intrigue about the diversity of human practices across time. But there is more strange things to be spoken about. Stay tuned!
