Ancient Egypt and Tattoo #history #science “Archaeological research reveals that tattoos were made in ancient Egypt. The oldest tattoos found in mummies date back to 2000 BC. It is believed that tattoos were made by hand, piercing the skin one by one with a needle. Tattoos found in the abdomen, thigh, and chest areas of women are thought to have been made for fertility and protection during childbirth. It was believed that diamond-shaped tattoos would protect the wearer in life and guarantee rebirth after death. Some tattoos are thought to indicate the person’s place or profession in society. According to archaeologists, tattoos could also have been used to show an individual’s religious beliefs or devotion to the gods.” history,history channel,history shows,history documentary,history channel shows,the history channel,history channel full episodes,history channel documentaries,documentary history channel,history hit,world history,history facts,weird history,nutty history,historic,history story,mil
