| Abstract Egypt is known for its arid climatic conditions with high temperatures and humidity. However, Egypt is facing cold weather and low temperatures that reach snow in some areas. The ancient Egyptian knew the seasons and wrote them down on temples. He knew the cold, summer, and weather fluctuations as well. The ancient Egyptians tried to reduce the frost of cold and provide shade in several ways to feel thermal comfort. Thus, this raises many questions about how ancient Egyptians adapt to winter, while most of the scenes represented both men and women in light and summer clothes. This paper reviews the seasonal calendar in Egypt, mentioning the decorations in the scenes that associated with winter and rain, such as the use of certain types of clothing, fires, heaters, and blankets. It focuses on the analytical approaches of the different materials of garments that used by the ancient Egyptians through documents and scenes analyses. | ||
