Why Egyptian antiquities' colors last
A recent study reveals that ancient Egyptian artisans used a mixture of animal and plant-based adhesives, particularly plant proteins such as sesame and Moringa, to preserve the vibrant colors of their artworks, some of which are over two thousand years old. The findings showed that the use of Moringa proteins was widespread, with the lead researcher linking this practice to the worship of the god of craftsmen, Ptah, indicating a clear intentional choice of materials for religious and symbolic reasons. This study is the first tangible evidence of Moringa’s use in ancient Egyptian art and sheds light on the techniques and rituals associated with artistic craftsmanship during that period.
