31. Not bad. So few people actually make their own costumes anymore,

it's nice to see one that somebody actually put some thought and work into. :)

i'm looking forward to halloween this year. i'm going to do the whole dark eyeliner/cleopatra eyes thing too - even if that is more egyptian/mesopotamian. i think i'll have to let one of my friends do that part for me though - i'm not very good with eyeliner :rofl:

33. The dark eyeliner thing may be egyptian... but Cleopatra wasn't of egyptian descent. :P

The egyptians liked using blue eyeshadow too. Lots of it. Like the whole area between the eyelashes and the eyebrow. :)

39. No, just been obsessed with ancient egypt since I was a kid.

Out of the 5 tattoos I have thought about getting, 3 of them are egyptian. :) (Although I'm not sure I'm gonna get the third one.)

i'm actually a fan of the romans because i'm a philosophy nut... same reason i enjoy studying about the greeks. the romans were also pretty revolutionary with some of their engineering.. then again 'them pyramids are purdy fancy. :P

43. Eh, pyramids are the next logical step when you're building with rock.

When your material is that heavy, you can't build straight up for too long. You gotta taper off. :)

The only really impressive bit is moving the huge rocks and getting the measurements so damn good.

Seriously though, the egyptians had their own empire for a while until too much inbreeding landed Ankenaten on the throne. They may not have had the well-documented scholarly type things that the greeks and romans had, but they still had a habit of being able to do just about anything they put their mind to.
