| Abstract | ||
| Through the world's tendency towards sustainability and the use of renewable environmental materials as in ancient times, this study focused on the problems faced by weavers in the Pharaonic era, as the textile industry in most countries of the world is considered an environmental craft industry that uses in its manufacture the local raw materials available in each country. The study's questions were: What are the local environment materials used in the fabric in the Pharaonic era? How did the pharaohs when weaving deal with the lack of linen? The study relied on the historical approach because of its description and recording of the facts and past events, and through previous studies it is clear that most of them agreed with the current study in Being using the historical method in the study of the Egyptian tissues as a study (Hussein 1969 AD) and (Ammar 1976 AD) and (Al-Zoghbi) and (Al-Khwas 1976) also stressed the importance of using linen in the fabric and how the pharaohs dealt with its shortage and cover the needs with natural materials in that era and there Also study (Dr. Bagh, 2013), which cared about sustainability and the use of environmental materials to preserve the environment, the traditional heritage. There is also a study (Al-Rifai 2016) and (Hassan and Shaker 2013 AD) were explaining the importance of flax and its specifications and needs for its growth, and the ability to use it to use it optimally without causing environmental pollution as a study (Zamani , 2014), Tobler-Rohr, 2011, and Blackburn, 2009, which addressed textile and strategic trends to keep pace with the global development of sustainability and the use of oil alternatives in tissues with environmentally friendly materials. | ||
