Abstract

This is the 4th research paper in a series of papers aiming at investigating the history and development of mechanical engineering in Ancient Egypt. The paper presents the development of bracelets industry during the ancient Egypt history from predynastic to late period. Samples of their scenes and bracelet products are presented. The paper highlights the deterioration of the bracelets industry in the intermediate periods of the ancient Egypt history and the impact of the strongest dynasties on the quality and sophistication of it.
