Yes Kpriss they did believe that the heart was the centre of all things, love, and intelligence. Its also the reason why when people marry they place their wedding bands on the ring finger of the left hand. It was believed that that finger was a direct line to the heart and love.

I think there was something about the heart being the actual brain in the human body… You should know better Ellington – if I’m wrong, please tell me so! However, they were impressive, the Egyptians!

Adriana, I hope I’ll find a pretext to talk about Romans these days! I’d love to see your history-passionate self taking the stage! :*

(lol! 10 times?)

…you asked me in one of your comments if I was going to watch TV for the Oscars. no-oh! I was on Internet the entire night! :)

Ellington, as you may have noticed I had a lot off fun watching the Oscars.
Of course I knew that only the wealthy could afford the mummification process as in all great Empires, also ours, certain things are only for the happy few. I’ve once read this all but forgot about it…..so, keep on being that “museum curatorial geek” at times, I love it.

I’ve a Roman history “obsession” by the way.

Hi Adriana! Have fun watching the Oscars!
The Ancient Egyptians thought that the brain was useless because they did not believe that it was where thoughts, memories or ideas came from. The liver, the intestines (upper and lower) and the lungs were considered vital for ones after life. The were guarded over by the four sons of Horus, and placed in Canopic or Canopy jars with the image of the heads of Horus’s sons. The four jars where then placed with the mummified body along with the various items the deceased needed in the afterlife. Only the very wealthy could afford the mummification process.
Just a bit of information that my museum curatorial geek self wanted to share! : )

Oh, I’ve to confess that I’ve only seen Marc Jacobs’ show until now. Here on Stylefrizz. I’ve other things on my mind. Also viewing all the Oscar nominated movies…..and tonight is the night….in the middle of the night here and I’ve just counted 10, yes Ï’d see 10(!) times ‘read here’ LOL in your piece Kpriss!

First impression, I like a lot off these dresses. I like especially the ones with sleeves and the power shoulders. I love that look, it suits me in many ways especially at the moment. Plus I’ve always loved calves high boots like I’ve seen in this show. Tight dresses are great. Don’t eat pasta though, even not us skinny ones, before show them off.

I’d never understood the Acient Egyptians thought the brain was a useless organ. Because they were so brilliant at a lot off points …..

Some of those dress are rather cute and don’t look too much like tensor bandages at all.
As for the mummification process the modern lady celebrities who wear the mummy type dresses should be glad that they don’t pull their brain out via their nose. The Ancient Egyptians thought that the brain was a useless organ so it was not worth saving in a canopy jar, but then again maybe some of them did get their brains pulled out! ; )
