Results of their explorations are subjected to thorough investigations and analyses carried out by researchers specializing in various fields. As a consequence, although centuries passed since the fall of ancient Egyptian culture, our knowledge on life in the those times extends and covers not only historical events and monuments of architecture but also such narrow fields as cosmetics, hygiene or beauty care. Key words: Hearst papyrus, Ebers papyrus, kohl, laurionite, phosgenite |
