An Egyptian Necklace with Beads also can be made even today with the help of the following steps:

1. Cut three lengths of jeweler's thread 18, 19 and 20 inches long. Cut two lengths 8 inches long.

2. Tie the clasp to one end of the 8-inch strands in a triple knot to ensure security. Thread alternating red, blue back and gold beads. When full, tie the end off onto the one-ring side of one of the gold multi-strand beads.

3. Secure the ends of the 18- 19- and 20-inch strands to the three rings of the other side of the multi-strand clasp.

4. Thread on alternating red, black, blue and gold beads along the length of each strand.

5. Tie on the optional hanging scarab bead in the center of the 20-inch strand, then continue alternating with the other beads.

6. Secure each end to the three rings of the other multi-strand clasp.

7. Tie the second 8-inch thread to the one-ring side of the multi-strand clasp and thread on alternating beads, tying the end to the hook once the strand is full of beads.

Lastly, even a 3 dimensional ancient Greek artifact can be made like those found on stone tablets, remnants of walls and tombs of ancient pyramids and temples etc to name a few. This can be made with the help of following:

1. Knead the self-hardening clay with your hands, pressing into it and folding it a few times until it is soft and pliable. Use clay in a natural or light tan color for an authentic look.

2. Flatten the dough with the palm of your hands into an unevenly shaped piece. Make the piece as large as you want, cutting with a plastic knife. Create a rectangular shape, with uneven edges to look like a piece of broken stone. Alternatively, roll it out with a rolling pin to about 1/2-inch thick.

3. Research hieroglyphs to find out what some of the symbols and pictures mean, or locate an online hieroglyph translator that will turn modern-day letters into ancient symbols. Then, draw some hieroglyphs that represent your name or a message. Dig the symbols into the clay with the knife or the end of a spoon. Alternatively, use carving tools to carve the hieroglyphs.

4. Allow the stone tablet to air dry, turning it after two or three hours to let both sides dry thoroughly. Refer to package directions for drying time.

5. Paint a thin layer of decoupage medium over the surface to seal it, using a sponge brush, and allow drying according to package directions.

Thus a variety of ancient Egyptian artifacts which the Egyptians can be made even today.
