Its interesting, but, Ive always wondered how these archeologists and historians can be so certain of what they
say about this stuff they dig up. Were they alive at that time?

What a happy day it will be when the sick, oppressive, black cloud of Islam is at last lifted from the beautiful land of Egypt.

The Greek artist painting with beeswax had to heat the encaustic media with charcoal to liquifiy it and then work quickly before it solidified. The reward was a painting that was remarkably impervious to the elements, and highlights that could be rendered without the distracting gloss that you get with an oil-based painting.
I knew an art teacher from Baltimore that became interested in this tecnique. He did a simple painting in beeswax, left it on his roof exposed to the weather for two years -- but shaded from the sun -- and found that it hadn't faded a bit.
