It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle There is some evidence of shoes being worn by nobility in the New Kingdom and also the use of silk but this is rare. The Hittites had developed the shoe and the boot by this time, so it would not be surprising to see their appearance in Egypt. In 1258 BCE the Hittites and Egyptians signed the world's first peace treaty, and afterwards cultural diffusion was common between the two. Still, the shoe never became popular footwear in Egypt as it would probably have been considered unnecessary effort; after all, even the gods went barefoot.

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.

Ten years ago, in September and October 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the Belt and Road Initiative during his visits to Indonesia and Kazakhstan. The “Belt and Road” initiative, which means (the economic belt of the Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road for the twenty-first century), is one of the most important global development initiatives in the twenty-first century, and it is a development strategy within the framework of “development diplomacy” pursued by China.

Kyphi was most often used by women and applied in very much the same fashion as perfume is in the modern day. A woman, or her maidservant, would open a container of kyphi, fan the air, and walk through the scent. The same is true of cosmetics, which were kept in pots or jars and applied from these containers with a brush or reed, much like the modern eyeliner. Speaking about the Western perception of Chinese commercial activity in countries such as Egypt el-Dahshan stated: “A lot of established [Western] partners aren’t happy to see someone else competing with them in countries they consider to be their traditional homes.” For art historians and conservators, the study of pigments used in artworks can be valuable in a number of ways. It can provide an indication of the age and the authenticity of the artwork, as well as of the studio practices of the painter. As precious pigments were often traded over long distances, it may also enable trade routes to be traced. And it can yield information which is vital in choosing which conservation treatments for the artwork may be the most effective [6].
