Egyptian Cleopatra Necklace is another such artifact which can be made by carrying out the following procedure:

1. Cut a 22-inch-long piece of beading wire.

2. Lay a strand of beads, previously cut in a radiating pattern, on the beading mat. Cut the string that the beads come on and shape the beads into the Cleopatra necklace style.

3. Place small, round separator beads between every three to four radiating beads. Place these on the mat in the appropriate place.

4. String all the beads together when you have the desired design. Add an "S" clasp and crimp beads on the ends of the beading wire. Don't leave spaces between the beads.

5. Crimp the crimp beads and cut off the excess wire.

How to make ancient Egyptian artifacts - Ancient Egyptian tomb painting:

Tomb painting is also a subtle art. While making a replica of such, it is essential to understand basic beliefs of ancient Egypt. Egyptian tomb paintings were symbolic and stylized, emphasizing the afterlife. A Tomb wall pictures depicted scenes of daily life and most important details of the tomb owner's career.

1. Look at an Egyptian tomb painting to find the motif which best suits your imagination.

2. Draw a mummy using a thin brush and pastel colors. The mummy is the most important motif, so it must be the biggest object in the painting.

3. Draw simplified triangular pieces of bread. Use a thin brush and pastel colors. Add more food paintings, according to your preferences. The tomb owner must eat something in his afterlife. Images of the food he ate in life are common motifs.

4. Draw a standing human figure. Use lively colors, as in the pattern. Draw a flat body and a face in profile -- with frontal view of the eye. Depict the upper body from the front, with one arm in front and the other at the side. The lower body is in profile. The legs must be turned to the same side as the head. If you are satisfied with the result, draw several more such human figures.

5. Draw simple artifacts: like flowers and boxes. Use lively colors to make it look realistic.

6. Draw an animal for example an ibis. Use a thin brush to paint long, curved beak, common bird body and long legs. Add more animals, such as cats and coyotes. Opposite to human figures, animals should be more relaxed and natural. Since they are not as significant as humans, paint them smaller.
