This video reveals the β€œsecret” to how the ancient Egyptians were able to make so many amulets π“Šπ“Šͺπ“…†π“ͺ that were so small π“ˆ–π“†“π“‹΄π“…© and detailed – they used molds! These molds are typically made of terracotta and allowed artists to not only mass produce amulets π“Šπ“Šͺπ“…†π“ͺ, but also make the amulets π“Šπ“Šͺπ“…†π“ͺ small and detailed!
