Okay, it was referenced by a visiting Roman dinner attender at the time complaining about the strong smelling scent cones which offended by their strength. He did not like being strangled by the vapors. I think this was in the show called “Cosmos” by Carl Sagan.
i've seen these sort of things before, when Jerry hits Tom on the head with a baseball bat or a strategically placed bowling ball falls from the top shelf and lands on Tom's head a cone appears. mystery solved i think!
I love looking at history and learning how people lived and all the similar things we can relate to. They were just like us in every aspect except the time they lived. Same intelligence, same desires, same physical body and so much more. I’m always impressed by how inventive and creative with what they had at their disposal. In many ways they were more versatile at adapting the resources available than what many people think. Thank you for covering these topics 😊
1:20 I didn't know there were depictions of people in a front view in ancient Egyptian art. I was even taught in school that the very aspect that set them apart was the side view of the head and members and a front facing torso.
I first learned about these back in the 80's, I had always thought it was a settled matter, good to know they've actually found a couple though. Seems to me this would be the perfect kind of thing for someone to try and recreate. What happens when you put a solid lump of wax on top of a mannequins head and leave it out in the desert sun for an afternoon? How long does it last? Is it better if it isn't solid? What kind of mess does it leave behind and is it hard to clean up in the evening? A quick (and admittedly cursory) Google search doesn't turn up anything about anyone trying to recreate these things. So many questions that could be answered if some enterprising grad student would just get on this, think of the paper you could write! 😀
@@HistoryWithKayleigh I see in the pictures of them there eyes are alien type ? Is this really how there eyes looked ? And I see there skin is lighter brown and others were black ? Would it be both colors? ( I'm learning) . Thanks for what you do .. 👍🏽👍🏽
not only that, but also what was the production of these cones like? surely the aristocracy had them in high demand not only that, but these supposedly temporary wax cones look like they were quite the status symbol, instead of just some party accessory (like picturing rich people nowadays with party horns?)
Always remember the Kaddish of Haji Abdu El-Yezdi. “The Truth is a shattered mirror strewn with myriad bits, and each believes his little bit the whole to own.”
I have been interested with ancient civilizations for years and this is the first time hearing about the head cone. Although many civilizations depict cone shape items and what they represent is unknown.
As the Egyptians lived in a hot environment, they were mad in love with Hawaiian shaved ice snow cones. However, as plastic and Styrofoam were yet to be discovered, their most vexing problem was that of reliable containers. A cone shaped hat coated in a thick layer of beeswax proved best at both insulating the ice treat and retaining the flavored syrup. Their favorite flavor (from Toasted Coconut, Cherry, Grape, Figg, to Pina Colada) would be color coded on their cone hats :)
I see a lot of comments suggesting the cones may have been insect repellant. I have a thought or two on this subject. It looks to me as though many of the images of these cone wearers relate to rituals dealing with death, spirituality, and the afterlife. When a body dies, decay begins pretty quickly and generally involves insects. Especially in drier climates where the lack of humidity inhibits bacterial and fungal growth to some extent, scavenging insects often do most of the work. Presumably, one might find a lot of biting insects in a place where corpses are stored. It occurs to me that bug-repellant aromatheraputic cones would be very useful in situations surrounding death rituals, corpse preparation, wakes &c.; and also that some scents have been said to be able to alter one's state of consciousness, which might be applied ritually if one were attending a wake, seance, or similar event associated with the afterlife. I don't see a conflict between the idea that the cones are for a spiritual purpose and the idea that they're insect repellant. If anything, I find it more likely that they are BOTH. It's hard to have a satisfying religious experience if your event is being swarmed by biting locusts.
I think what I like most about the narration, is that she doesn't assume that, because the cones were found in a couple of locations it was a common wide practice. The fact was presented to us and it's left to us to make sense of it, congrats.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Thank you for not giving them a connotation, I know it's not easy. I like ancient marvels in general and although I do believe there's more to them than meets the eye, I do read a lot of mainstream papers to stay informed on both sides, and from what I've seen most researchers can not stay impartial.
My own theory, based entirely on the images I see here, is that these cones represented a physical adornment which was bestowed upon various persons who had, by whatever means, acquired great honor. The pictures look to me like the sort of ceremonies held to commemorate great deeds or accomplishments... As a citizen of the U.S., I'd equate its significance to a person who had earned a Congressional Medal Of Honor: "You did great, pal! And to recognize that, the god just wants to put some holy wax on your head. Don't wipe it off or wash it!"
Thanks for your post. I have heard of these things before, but you have presented more info. Although we have some writings from Ancient Egypt, they are not big on explaining social customs.

@@HistoryWithKayleigh Sometimes I wonder about StarGate SG1. There are aspects of that show that seem to parallel real life in ways that I find curious and I can’t help but wonder if there’s more to it than just a fictional story. I watched a video where soldiers were being briefed on various aliens; some of which they mentioned they would be fighting. If it’s real (and it’s sheer informality and lack of seriousness makes me think it was real; anyone faking it would go to lengths to make it seem more serious), I suspect that it depicts the reality that we’re helping other species in warfare since we’re so good at it. We may have martial abilities that have been lost with more advanced species. But that’s speculation of course. There are recorded instances of seeming “battles” between groups of craft in the sky; the most famous example being the incident depicted by Durer in his famous woodcut print of craft over Nuremberg in 1561. I suspect that our media and entertainment have been giving us clues all along. I can’t help but wonder if Stargate SG1 to be a prime example of entertainment that may be letting us in on the secret. Did you see the episode where Martin Lloyd, a human looking alien who lost his memory of being alien, creates a tv show called “Wormhole Extreme”; which parallels the reality of the Star Gate Program in the show? At one point, Carter asks why the Air Force didn’t shut down the tv show; given that it depicts a top secret program, and one of the other characters answers that it provides plausible deniability for the Stargate Program; if anything about the Stargate gets out, it can be deflected as being from the tv show. I can’t help but wonder if SG1 provides the same plausible deniability in real life. Is art imitating life within art imitating life?

Before I saw this video I was leaning into the elongated heads as well. Now though I am quite curtain it's for perfume. Thanks to Kayleigh for another good one.
Very informative! I remember seeing a picture in a book somewhere, of an Egyptian man/woman carrying such a cone and have always wondered what their purpose was. Thank you!:D
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Maybe you can answer my question which I have lost a lot of sleep over since school days. Why couldn't the ancient Egyptians draw in perspective? They carved wonderfull statues and monuments. The pictures you see (beautiful as they are) look somewhat childish in comparison. This could be the theme for your next doc.
Hi there 😀😀, the size of the cone may denote statace or rank among the ruleing class, the cone would be visible to everyone allowing everyone to act accordingly to the wearer, please tell me if I'm completely wrong, love this documentary, cheers, Neil.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Have you read Ages in Chaos? I realize it is hazardous to admit consorting with Velikovsky but he wasn't wrong about everything. He believed and makes a strong case that Sheba and Hatshepsut (Hot Sheep Suit?) were one and the same and that the trip to Punt was a trip to Jerusalem to see Solomon. After all, the Romans called the Phoenicians Punica and that neck of the woods was known as Pontus. Indeed, it is written that she sailed back home down the Nile. She didn't sail around Africa so that is intriguing. It has the added virtue of throwing orthodox chronology into a cocked hat, which is just gravy.
Ancient Egyptians loved break-dancing. They would spend so much time spinning on their heads that they were going bald and developing scalp calluses. To prevent this, the cones were developed as a sort of protective spindle on which the wearer could rotate, effectively turning them into human tops. Originally, the cones were wood and could ignite from the friction created by spinning. The initial cure for this was to wax and highly polish all the floors in Egypt; but this proved hazardous to pedestrians. It was Bolivar Shagnasty, visiting from Toledo, Ohio in 2345BCE who hit upon the idea of wax cones instead of wax floors. Dozens of bruised tailbones were prevented. This invention caused a 2nd wave of break-dancing frenzy, and people could be expected to start whirling about on their cones at any moment. Therefore, the cones were worn as part of daily attire, much the way most people wear pole-vaulting hats today.
I have a feeling the cones oozed of something that kept the flies off. The Egyptians also painted their eyes with the black paste containing substances that killed bacteria from the tsetse fly (i.e.colostrum and lead), I was taught. The cones could only be worn by people who were able to keep their head straight all day long, and didn't have to do any heavy work. Just a thought.
Some cultures think the spirit enters and exits the body through the top of the head. Also, when you look at buddhism, they depict a similar shape to denote enlightenment. Might be some similar themes going on I'd expect.
Thank you Kayleigh. How interesting. I feel that these are all Princesses. That their 'Ba' is being symbolized as still inside the Hive and not yet birthed as 'all-knowing'. Maybe the egg is a potential Ureaus. Never did I spot any Ureaus in these illustrations. Perhaps they are a symbol of Puberty within the Royal Bloodline.
*I have a theory* My husband loved camping and I hated the bugs (especially at night) so he bought me a dozen citronella candles. They didn't keep away all of the bugs but they helped a lot! We don't think about it much now but can you imagine the insects back then? The Egyptians were incredibly intelligent and my bet is it helped keep the annoying buzzing insects away like citronella, and of course didn't light them like candles but probably worked like mothballs to moths or some simple tidea lost over time.
Thank you Kayleigh. I love when you delve into Amarna mysteries...lol....but you already knew that. To me Amarna IS a mystery. One big one that needs solving or at least trying. Thanks again!!!
@@HistoryWithKayleigh I totally agree. On Amarna, because it's shrouded in unknowns and mystery... is to me, as you know a favorite of mine. Other than the great Queen Hatespsut, whom I adore and admire...I confess to crushes on all those Amarna women....lmao....Much love.
FYI...Many years ago I corresponded with the american author Alan Drury who had written two non-fiction novels on Amarna - A God Against Gods and it's sequel as well as his famous novel Crime and Punishment. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the period. I'm indebted to him for starting me on my journey. He was very kind to me, just a kid and shared much information known at the time about Amarna.
Thanks Kayleigh. It gets pretty hot there. Is it not possible that they were used to keep the wearer cool? Not everything in the ancient world has anything to do with rituals, priests and virtue-signaling to posterity. Another practical application would be to keep bugs away. Of course it could just be the cap representing the local football team. YNWA
It's fun that it's entirely up to debate as to why the living would wear these cones. Insect repellent, as a way to moisturize or scent or the ideas you suggest. We still don't know, the only thing we know for sure is that it wasn't just for the elites of Egypt 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh So the question is What is the highest probability for practical people, not priests or rich boys? Cooling, insect repellent, tribe (team) spirit. Any others? Keeping bees, friendly ones, seems a bit of a stretch.
Ha !! We have the same theory about Bug Repellent , I posted the very same without seeing your comment until afterwards . Great minds ! 😁 @Henry_Hewitt

Outstanding video, intrepid research. You should make a video on the mysterious MFKZT manufactured at the temple of Hathor at Serabit El-Kadim in the SW Sinai discovered by Flinders Petrie. I have yet to see a critical examination of this particular aspect of ancient Egyptian religion anywhere.

Hi Kayleigh, lf possible could you inform me of the location of the wall painting @3.22 the cobra hooded up in defence mode is quite striking. The whole picture may help me to get more context. 🙏
I have been trying to get to your merch store occasionally for some time. When I try I only get to a shopify page that will let me create a shopify store. What am I doing wrong?
You are a gracious lady,stay smart. I cannot place your accent ,when l was trying to entertain at the 'straat 'festival in Vlissingen the polite audience heckling me spoke almost as eloquently as you,at that time the Sheerness roll on roll off ferry to the port was very convenient. It was very lovely town, Vlissingen l mean. The locals offered me a job, a home and on two occasions the police assisted me to get to my secondary sleeping option when I was too drunk to ride a bicycle . All performers had a guaranteed bed in the 'Arsenal 'in town. It was the best organised urban event l ever played.
I believe you are correct. Bathing was a luxury . In Greece they put them on top of their heads in the morning and as the day wore on and the temperature raised t would melt and cover them in perfume to cover the smell of themselves.
These cones are, I believe, a symbolic representation of a reality. Namely, the cones of aromatic, emollient fat routinely used in Ancient Egypt. In my opinion, these were almost certainly, much smaller than depicted and not always carried on the head. They were significant, ceremonially, so are depicted proportionally to highlight that significance.
Yes, these are the cones they got from France where they were worn when consuming mass quantities of seared animal flesh in a firepit but is not evidence of extraterrestrial origin, sometimes a conehead is just a conehead, no more questions, Earthworms.
Hi ... I guess we'll never know the exact use and meaning of the cones but we do know that the Egyptians had a very good reason for doing the things they did ...and at least we now know they existed, what they were made of & weren't just decorative on wall art ... loving your topics & content Kayleigh ... one question though (you've probably be asked a thousand times ! ) : Were / are your parents fans of the band Marillion ?? 🤔 ... (hence your name : Kayleigh)
@@HistoryWithKayleigh 😆 thanks ... great video, fantastic name, parents with great taste and Misplaced Childhood is awesome ... bet your relived they didn't name you after the lead singer : Fish .... on to another of your videos 😃 (grey public holiday here in the UK today)
@@HistoryWithKayleigh 😂 hmmm, I suppose it can have its down side occasionally ... still a great name tho' ... catch up with you later after another video 😊
You definitely look better without a cone lol. I'm going with something to do with perfume. I've always heard they didn't bathe much so they just relied on perfumes to cover odors up. That's just kinda gross LOL. NICE JOB KAYLEIGH !!
The "people didn't bathe in olden times" is just a trope, no one likes to stink, or that grimy feeling after not bathing for a while. Someone living in a hot climate within a 5 minute walk to the nearest water source would be foolish not to wash at least once every couple of days. Google "ancient Egyptian soap", they bathed pretty often.
What if they are status symbols of rank. Symbolic of the sun disc over rah? They wear the primordial mound as they are not gods. Perhaps the mound originally was very small barely noticeable but then increased in size and popularity with decoration as the elite began treating it as fashionable display.
I noticed little dots near the bases of the cones on the paintings and think that these holes were perforations to allow air to flow through as a person walked. Perhaps these cones were translucent and the colors seen in the paintings hint at material within the cones, specifically flowers, whose purpose would likely be as a pouperii to scent the air that the person just moved through. That’s my theory.
If they were holes rather than markings (the excavated ones don't really give a clue either way), then as well as providing airflow, they could also have been used as holes for fastening the cones to the wearer's head, either with sticks or thread. Nothing more embarassing than bowing before the pharaoh or a god and your wax cone plopping onto the floor at your feet !
aaahhh, Kayleigh, me darlin😍 great to see ya🤩 i once read, somewhere, the cones they wore were scented and possibly helped repel insects. wish i could remember where i read that. however, as you said, we'll probably never know for sure. the finding of the remains of said cones is extraordinary. perhaps some future test will reveal their purpose. anyhoo, at the end you muse about wether you'd look good with a cone. i'm here to tell you, you look good in anything👱♀️love yer t shirt, m'lady🧝♀️eye of Horus, i believe. coooolllll😻 ssooo, til next we meet, Klee!
We at least know they didn't melt on the dead 🙂 As there was no transfer between the wax of the cone on the hair 🤗 It is one of my favorite shirts that i honestly only wear for my videos to keep it nice 😆😂
@@HistoryWithKayleigh that is an interesting observation. you'd think just the ambient heat would melt the wax. if i leave my butter out it becomes a puddle, in this heat. who knows, Klee.

Haha thanks! 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Maybe you can answer my question which I have lost a lot of sleep over since school days. Why couldn't the ancient Egyptians draw in perspective? They carved wonderfull statues and monuments. The pictures you see (beautiful as they are) look somewhat childish in comparison. This could be the theme for your next doc.
Hi there 😀😀, the size of the cone may denote statace or rank among the ruleing class, the cone would be visible to everyone allowing everyone to act accordingly to the wearer, please tell me if I'm completely wrong, love this documentary, cheers, Neil.
That might be true, maybe the decorated ones were only for the elites and these undecorated ones were for the non elites
Kayleigh, thanks for another nice video about things I didn't know about Egypt. Keep up the good work! :-)
Would you ever consider doing a video about Queen Tomyris ? Or have you already?
Adding her to the list of future life of a Queen videos, thank you for the recommendation 🤗🤗
That would be nice. She handed Cyrus' ass to him, make that his head. Cyrus got beat by a girl. Hah. Start with Herodotus.
I'm not going to cover Kings for quite a long time to come, i first want the females to shine as the Kings are shining enough as it is 😆
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Have you read Ages in Chaos? I realize it is hazardous to admit consorting with Velikovsky but he wasn't wrong about everything. He believed and makes a strong case that Sheba and Hatshepsut (Hot Sheep Suit?) were one and the same and that the trip to Punt was a trip to Jerusalem to see Solomon. After all, the Romans called the Phoenicians Punica and that neck of the woods was known as Pontus. Indeed, it is written that she sailed back home down the Nile. She didn't sail around Africa so that is intriguing. It has the added virtue of throwing orthodox chronology into a cocked hat, which is just gravy.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh can’t wait
Ancient Egyptians loved break-dancing. They would spend so much time spinning on their heads that they were going bald and developing scalp calluses.
To prevent this, the cones were developed as a sort of protective spindle on which the wearer could rotate, effectively turning them into human tops.
Originally, the cones were wood and could ignite from the friction created by spinning. The initial cure for this was to wax and highly polish all the floors in Egypt; but this proved hazardous to pedestrians. It was Bolivar Shagnasty, visiting from Toledo, Ohio in 2345BCE who hit upon the idea of wax cones instead of wax floors. Dozens of bruised tailbones were prevented.
This invention caused a 2nd wave of break-dancing frenzy, and people could be expected to start whirling about on their cones at any moment. Therefore, the cones were worn as part of daily attire, much the way most people wear pole-vaulting hats today.
Hahaha 😂😂
I have a feeling the cones oozed of something that kept the flies off. The Egyptians also painted their eyes with the black paste containing substances that killed bacteria from the tsetse fly (i.e.colostrum and lead), I was taught. The cones could only be worn by people who were able to keep their head straight all day long, and didn't have to do any heavy work. Just a thought.
Some cultures think the spirit enters and exits the body through the top of the head. Also, when you look at buddhism, they depict a similar shape to denote enlightenment. Might be some similar themes going on I'd expect.
Crown chakra 😉🤗
They were perfume, they were made out of wax and as the heat warmed them,they released perfume .
The things is, it might not have been for perfume at all 😉
Thank you Kayleigh. How interesting. I feel that these are all Princesses. That their 'Ba' is being symbolized as still inside the Hive and not yet birthed as 'all-knowing'. Maybe the egg is a potential Ureaus. Never did I spot any Ureaus in these illustrations. Perhaps they are a symbol of Puberty within the Royal Bloodline.
Kayleigh!! I'm so excited you're back!!!
I feel the same! I always get excited for the premieres🤗🥰
very exciting channel with great content, thanks for the great research.
Thank you so much 🤗
*I have a theory* My husband loved camping and I hated the bugs (especially at night) so he bought me a dozen citronella candles. They didn't keep away all of the bugs but they helped a lot! We don't think about it much now but can you imagine the insects back then? The Egyptians were incredibly intelligent and my bet is it helped keep the annoying buzzing insects away like citronella, and of course didn't light them like candles but probably worked like mothballs to moths or some simple tidea lost over time.
Possible alternative explanation... perhaps the cones are another representation of the "elongated skull" cultural reference.
Ring toss and the consumption of mass quantities.
Thank you Kayleigh. I love when you delve into Amarna mysteries...lol....but you already knew that. To me Amarna IS a mystery. One big one that needs solving or at least trying. Thanks again!!!
You're welcome 🤗
I love the time period because there is so much unknown, i enjoy trying to uncover things haha
@@HistoryWithKayleigh I totally agree. On Amarna, because it's shrouded in unknowns and mystery... is to me, as you know a favorite of mine. Other than the great Queen Hatespsut, whom I adore and admire...I confess to crushes on all those Amarna women....lmao....Much love.
FYI...Many years ago I corresponded with the american author Alan Drury who had written two non-fiction novels on Amarna - A God Against Gods and it's sequel as well as his famous novel Crime and Punishment. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the period. I'm indebted to him for starting me on my journey. He was very kind to me, just a kid and shared much information known at the time about Amarna.
Thanks Kayleigh. It gets pretty hot there. Is it not possible that they were used to keep the wearer cool? Not everything in the ancient world has anything to do with rituals, priests and virtue-signaling to posterity. Another practical application would be to keep bugs away.
Of course it could just be the cap representing the local football team. YNWA
It's fun that it's entirely up to debate as to why the living would wear these cones. Insect repellent, as a way to moisturize or scent or the ideas you suggest. We still don't know, the only thing we know for sure is that it wasn't just for the elites of Egypt 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh So the question is What is the highest probability for practical people, not priests or rich boys? Cooling, insect repellent, tribe (team) spirit. Any others? Keeping bees, friendly ones, seems a bit of a stretch.
Maybe one day i can ask the researchers who discovered and analyzed the cones their personal opinions 🙂
@@HistoryWithKayleigh That might be nice but it won't make them right. Nullius in verba.
Ha !! We have the same theory about Bug Repellent , I posted the very same without seeing your comment until afterwards . Great minds ! 😁 @Henry_Hewitt
They are Omphallos stones, which relate to Medjet, and the pattern of the flower of Life. They are descendants of the Ben Ben stone.
That shirt is do darn cool Kayleigh!!! I am just watching some of these videos and the work and research that goes into them in impressive. Keep them coming!!!
Could be priests of ahten? Looks like a rising sun to me. Super awesome thought
Very professional. Good study.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Loved the content 👌
Welcome to Egypt 🇪🇬
Oh god!! I was in love at minute 0:20!! 😘
Or then again, perhaps the cones were just the ancient Egyptian version of twisted ball caps and sagging pants.
U explain it in. Such a good way I can understand thank u
OG Beanie. Rockin the hottest new fashion of the day. I like to imagine the older folks only rocked Nemes and hated the silly head cones that all the young people started wearing. no respect for the old gods.
You damned right, Sonny Boy. Why, in my day we were moving blocks, one a minute, down the Nile and up the ramp. That fofaraw would just been a bother.
But now, you lazy........
@@JohnSmith-ft2tw Just wait 'till they uncover a 3,500 year old mummy with an onion on its belt!
In Morocco, some indigenous tribes wear a headset that has the exact same shape as these cones.
Can you give me the name of the cone or the tribe? Would love to look into that 🥰
And what were the small bags they are depicted as carrying?
Not sure 🙂
Interesting thank you. Catching up with your videos today
Awesome!!
Wow thanks Kayleigh. Most of these photos are new to me. being megolithic and all.
I love those braids they are wearing. Go kayleigh it's yr birthday- it's yr birthday
Had to subscribe, lots of information here, thank you
thank you!
Outstanding video, intrepid research. You should make a video on the mysterious MFKZT manufactured at the temple of Hathor at Serabit El-Kadim in the SW Sinai discovered by Flinders Petrie. I have yet to see a critical examination of this particular aspect of ancient Egyptian religion anywhere.
Always open to suggestions, but it might take me a while to get there as i have quite a stack of videos coming up haha
I had an awakening of the crown shakra, every time I lay down to sleep felt my spirit leaving my body , astral travel the crown of my head felt like golden light strange sensation
Interesting how I have seen these, but not even thought about them. Thank you for enlightening me! Well done video, I hope you make a lot of money!
Thank you haha
Any aspiring fashion designer should watch this video: they'd get a better idea for their next design than what usually waltzes down the catwalks.
Hahaha

we know there were real but more than anything they were symbolic ! prob started around 3,300 bc
Maybe the aromatics in the wax would help with lice?
For sure a possibility 🙂
Hi Kayleigh, lf possible could you inform me of the location of the wall painting @3.22 the cobra hooded up in defence mode is quite striking. The whole picture may help me to get more context. 🙏
I have been trying to get to your merch store occasionally for some time. When I try I only get to a shopify page that will let me create a shopify store. What am I doing wrong?
Great presentation Kayleigh, I like your shirt.
Thank you 🤗
I’m so glad I found your show!
I'm so happy to hear that 🤗
Interesting presentation, l would hazard a guess the cones purpose was not headlice treatment.
You are a gracious lady,stay smart. I cannot place your accent ,when l was trying to entertain at the 'straat 'festival in Vlissingen
the polite audience heckling me spoke almost as eloquently as you,at that time the Sheerness roll on roll off ferry to the port was very convenient. It was very lovely town, Vlissingen l mean. The locals offered me a job, a home and on two occasions the police assisted me to get to my secondary sleeping option when I was too drunk to ride a bicycle . All performers had a guaranteed bed in the 'Arsenal 'in town. It was the best organised urban event l ever played.
I'm from Noord Holland, in Dutch we would say i either speak ABN or Plat (flat) haha 😆
They were perfume cones which would melt and smell lovely.
I believe you are correct. Bathing was a luxury . In Greece they put them on top of their heads in the morning and as the day wore on and the temperature raised t would melt and cover them in perfume to cover the smell of themselves.
Would it sting the eyes like some hair products do?
The cones maybe dropped by biden and pelosi when they fled God's plagues on Egypt.
These cones are, I believe, a symbolic representation of a reality.
Namely, the cones of aromatic, emollient fat routinely used in Ancient Egypt.
In my opinion, these were almost certainly, much smaller than depicted and not always carried on the head. They were significant, ceremonially, so are depicted proportionally to highlight that significance.
🤗
The cones enabled them to eat mass quantities.
Haha
@@HistoryWithKayleigh You don't look old enough to have gotten that!
Meps, the bluntskulls will hear.
Yes, these are the cones they got from France where they were worn when consuming mass quantities of seared animal flesh in a firepit but is not evidence of extraterrestrial origin, sometimes a conehead is just a conehead, no more questions, Earthworms.
Meps!
Love some of the comments,your viewers are very smart .
they leave some incredible suggestions :)
First time listening - excellent scholarship.
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Cool Tshirt!
Thanks 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh I wanna be a conehead too!!!
@@TheTimeDetective42 i say go for it 😉
I can't help but think of "The Coneheads" from early Saturday Night Live. They know, and they mock us. The elongated skulls were a particular race.
Hahaha
Thank You for sharing
Always welcome! And there's more on the channel if you like history 🥰
The cones represent the pineal
Hi ... I guess we'll never know the exact use and meaning of the cones but we do know that the Egyptians had a very good reason for doing the things they did ...and at least we now know they existed, what they were made of & weren't just decorative on wall art ... loving your topics & content Kayleigh ... one question though (you've probably be asked a thousand times ! ) : Were / are your parents fans of the band Marillion ?? 🤔 ... (hence your name : Kayleigh)
Haha good catch, my parents loved the album misplaced childhood and named me after the song Kayleigh. I know the album by heart of course 🤣
@@HistoryWithKayleigh 😆 thanks ... great video, fantastic name, parents with great taste and Misplaced Childhood is awesome ... bet your relived they didn't name you after the lead singer : Fish .... on to another of your videos 😃 (grey public holiday here in the UK today)
Haha i do dislike being named after it when I enter a supermarket and the song is on the radio. That happens way too often, even in 2021 😅🤣
@@HistoryWithKayleigh 😂 hmmm, I suppose it can have its down side occasionally ... still a great name tho' ... catch up with you later after another video 😊
My guess is that it was used to trap lice which would collect inside the cone. Maybe it was used as pest control since they had poor hygiene.
You definitely look better without a cone lol. I'm going with something to do with perfume. I've always heard they didn't bathe much so they just relied on perfumes to cover odors up. That's just kinda gross LOL. NICE JOB KAYLEIGH !!
The "people didn't bathe in olden times" is just a trope, no one likes to stink, or that grimy feeling after not bathing for a while. Someone living in a hot climate within a 5 minute walk to the nearest water source would be foolish not to wash at least once every couple of days. Google "ancient Egyptian soap", they bathed pretty often.
They sure indeed bathed, without a doubt a whole lot more than Europeans in medieval times haha😂
Thank you Kayleigh
Thank you! 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh you're welcome! Have a good evening.
Maybe bees wax but was it a deflector of sorts...
As depicted in "Child of the Morning"!
Has there ever been an answer as to the purpose of the ancient "handbags" across so many cultures???
Not an official one no, but i am planning on looking into it to see what my research uncovers 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh That would be awesome! They are even on the columns of 12,000 y o Gobekli Tempi and prehistoric Australia... so diverse!
It might be as simple as baskets with fruits and veggies haha, but we shall see what i can find out
I noticed the Blue Lotus Flower...supposed to be hallucinogenic. Maybe that's how they communed with the gods.
It's a possibility for sure 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh the active components are in the flower and they have them draped over the head.
What if they are status symbols of rank. Symbolic of the sun disc over rah? They wear the primordial mound as they are not gods. Perhaps the mound originally was very small barely noticeable but then increased in size and popularity with decoration as the elite began treating it as fashionable display.
Perhaps the cones had oils infused in them that helped to repel flies, mosquitos or other bugs.
It's absolutely possible 🤗
I noticed little dots near the bases of the cones on the paintings and think that these holes were perforations to allow air to flow through as a person walked. Perhaps these cones were translucent and the colors seen in the paintings hint at material within the cones, specifically flowers, whose purpose would likely be as a pouperii to scent the air that the person just moved through. That’s my theory.
Could be 🙂
If they were holes rather than markings (the excavated ones don't really give a clue either way), then as well as providing airflow, they could also have been used as holes for fastening the cones to the wearer's head, either with sticks or thread. Nothing more embarassing than bowing before the pharaoh or a god and your wax cone plopping onto the floor at your feet !
Hahaha 😂
Hot climate next to big river with lots of marshy areas.... how about mosquito and or fly repellent?
Could be 🤗
Nice! Really interesting video!
Thank you so much!! 🤗
Thank you Miss Kayleigh. Where did you get that T-shirt? E-bay?
I got the T-shirt through AliExpress 😂
The only place i could find it🤭
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Thank you.
Text me on telegram
**hacklurd**
I always wondered what came first, ice cream or the cone? Now I know 😁😁
Hahaha 🤣
I have read its beewax cones they put on the head to cool when melting
These cones are not physical, they are electromagnetic. The Egyptians showed the physical and the unseen in their art.
Could be
aaahhh, Kayleigh, me darlin😍 great to see ya🤩 i once read, somewhere, the cones they wore were scented and possibly helped repel insects. wish i could remember where i read that. however, as you said, we'll probably never know for sure. the finding of the remains of said cones is extraordinary. perhaps some future test will reveal their purpose. anyhoo, at the end you muse about wether you'd look good with a cone. i'm here to tell you, you look good in anything👱♀️love yer t shirt, m'lady🧝♀️eye of Horus, i believe. coooolllll😻 ssooo, til next we meet, Klee!
We at least know they didn't melt on the dead 🙂
As there was no transfer between the wax of the cone on the hair 🤗
It is one of my favorite shirts that i honestly only wear for my videos to keep it nice 😆😂
@@HistoryWithKayleigh that is an interesting observation. you'd think just the ambient heat would melt the wax. if i leave my butter out it becomes a puddle, in this heat. who knows, Klee.
so they were exactly the same as fly paper only different.... damn those guys were clever.
They had their paintings done right after a Saturday Night Live party, where they pretended to be the Coneheads and had been playing hoop toss....
Hahahaha
