While we envision Egypt ππ ππ, we usually think of an arid and desert πππΊ environment. However, flowers were very popular in ancient Egypt ππ ππ! If you look at lists of hieroglyphic symbols, there are tons of hieroglyphs that represent plants! The phonogram/ideogram for the Nile Valley/Upper Egypt is π – which represents a flowering plant!
Tutankhamunβs ππ πππ ±ππΉπΎπΊπ mummy ππΉπ ±πΎ was found with flowers, as were other royal mummies. Even commoners would adorn their dead with flower arrangements.
Here are some beautifully π€ colored plants! On the bottom left is a lotus flower πΈ, the top right is a palm tree, and the bottom right is a small plaque or tile of some kind with daisies/rosettes! I love how bright the green is!
