Question

Like... I don't want to learn about a royal egyptian person. But more in general; such as what did royal egyptians wear? What hairstyles did royal egyptians have? What food did royal egyptians eat? ect.

Answer 1

So you are looking for research information about diet and lifestyle among the upper class in ancient Egypt.

The one we know the most about is King Tut so do a keyword search for Tutankamen or Howard Carter. There should be a list of everything recovered in his tomb, including foodstuffs and wardrobe.

I can tell you that Egyptians relied a lot on figs, wheat (in earlier times called emer), and barley. Wheat originated in Egypt as Emer. When it mutated and the seed heads became larger, it became wheat. They also ate ostrich meat and fish. Don't know about other protein sources.

The makeup you see in pictures of Egyptians had a purpose. The black line under the eyes was used in all classes and was a primitive form of sunglasses. It cut down the glare of the sun. Moisturizing makeup was an absolute necessity. Egyptian workers once went on strike while building a pyramid to get their rations increased. Those rations were bread, beer, and makeup.

Lower classes wore a minimum of clothing or none at all. Clothing was a sign of wealth. Linen was the available cloth, but it was followed by cotton. Not sure when cotton was introduced.
