I am writing a report on the concept of beauty and how it has changed over time. For some reason, I do not know about ancient Egypt. Does anyone know?

In art Egypt, the ideal is a young and slim figure with narrow hips, which mummies anthropometric studies have shown a fair representation of the reality, at least in the case of Egyptian women. On the other hand, hip, shoulder proportions are not very different from those found in humans Egyptian mummies. Although both sexes may be represented in this way, representations men are more likely to vary from ideal.
