Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Ancient Egyptian cosmetics: 'Magical' makeup may have been medicine for eye disease EurekAlert [uSA], 11-Jan-2010 WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2010 †" There's more to the eye makeup that gave Queen Nefertiti and other ancient Egyptian royals those stupendous gazes and legendary beauty than meets the eye. Scientists in France are reporting that the alluring eye makeup also may have been used to help prevent or treat eye disease by doubling as an infection-fighter. Their findings are scheduled for the next (Jan. 15, 2010) issue of the American Chemical Society (ACS) semi-monthly journal, Analytical Chemistry. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-01/acs-aec011110.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
