Social media users expressed admiration for the accuracy of imagination and beauty of the ancient Egyptian queen.
Queen Ku is the daughter of Yui and Tui of the New Kingdom and the wife of Amenhotep III, one of the most successful rulers of Egypt.
Her mummy was discovered in 1898 in the tomb of Amenhotep II (KV 35) in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor.
The mummy of Queen Thea was among 22 royal mummies that were transferred on April 3 during a royal parade from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
Queen Thie’s hair became a meme on Facebook during the Golden Parade because of her luxurious curly curls, which have been well preserved for more than 3,000 years.
It is also worth mentioning that the queen, the mother of the famous Pharaoh Akhenaten, died at the age of 60.
Images of her mummy were circulated on social media before being transferred from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square to the Museum of Civilization in Fustat on April 3.
Queen Thie’s black, long, beautifully curled hair blinded her granddaughters on social media, who begged her to style her hair.
But it is no secret that the ancient Egyptians took such care of their hair, and they really had special styling.
Combs, jars of hair cream and curling irons were found in several tombs.
Hair samples show that the Egyptians used castor oil, almond oil and fragrant oils, as well as animal fat to keep their curls in place and protect their hair from the dry weather of Egypt.
Scenes in which women comb their hair or daughters’ hair are depicted on walls and papyrus.
In recent years, curly hair has become popular again in Egypt, and despite all this ancient Egyptian fascination, it is expected that they will be even more popular.
