Shepherds, ferrymen, and fishermen mainly made do with a simple leather sash from which hung a curtain of reeds; many also worked completely naked, at least until the Middle Kingdom - during this time it became rare to see an unclothed worker. Female millers, bakers, and harvest workers are often depicted in a long wraparound skirt but with the upper part of the body bared. (376)

Author and researcher Wayne Herschel contends that all 50 pyramids in Lower Egypt replicate the prime stars on one side of the Milky Way. He also confirms Robert Bauval’s theory that the three main pyramids of Giza conclusively represent Orion, however he identifies a new scale interpretation very different to that of Bauval’s. Those historic relations have been nurtured under current President el-Sisi. He has made six trips to Beijing since becoming president in 2014 after a coup that overthrew the country’s first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi. Still, European powers have taken notice. In 2020, they imposed sanctions on Jushi and its Egyptian partners for taking advantage of what they considered to be unfair subsidies that allowed for product dumping. El-Dahshan said given the high-profile developments, it might surprise some that China can be a difficult partner for Egypt to work with.

Cuprorivaite was only discovered in modern times. Its chemical description is calcium-copper tetrasilicate: CaCuSi4O10 . The colour is also sometimes known as cerulean. Jaksch, H, et al, “Egyptian Blue – Cuprorivaite: A Window to Ancient Egyptian Technology”, Die Naturwissenschaften 70, 525-535 (1983); Accorsi, G et al, “The exceptional near-infrared luminescence of cuprorivaite (Egyptian blue)”, Chemical Communications Issue 23, 2009, 3392.

Although other near-infrared-emitting materials exist, Egyptian blue is composed of abundant and inexpensive elements — calcium, copper, silicon, and oxygen — in contrast to other near-infrared-emitting materials that contain rare earth elements. Greer said concern over Beijing as a new competitor should be put into context. “Western companies are at an advantage. People in the Middle East speak English, not Chinese.” Both Cairo and Beijing seek to expand cooperation in the fields of investment, financing, transition towards green energy, green industries, low-carbon technology and space, and search for new areas of cooperation. Fortunately, given Egypt’s moderate weather, antiquities, and civilization, China has included Egypt on the list of top countries for foreign tourist destinations for Chinese citizens, which means that the number of Chinese tourists will increase in the future. The volume of Chinese investment in Egypt was 560 million US dollars in the fiscal year 2021-2022, an increase of 16% year on year, representing 6.3% of net foreign capital inflows to Egypt. My eagerness to accept the invitation of my friend, President Xi Jinping, to participate in this summit, stems from Egypt's interest in the Belt and Road Initiative, and our belief that the common denominators and challenges that unite us as member states, along with the vision on which the initiative was founded, its axes and projects, It should form the foundations of cooperation between its parties, with a view to achieving the aspirations of our peoples and the interests of our countries towards stability and development. China’s not really good at status quo,” he said. At the very least, he sees Beijing “upping its presence politically and culturally in Egypt”.Mode of citation: Philip McCouat, "Egyptian blue: the colour of technology", Journal of Art in Society, www.artinsociety.com With great astronomical precision, the pyramids were created to serve as the pharaoh’s gateway to the stars.
