Published on
Egyptian blue is the first known synthetic pigment in human history, created around 2600 BCE during Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty by firing sand, lime, and copper into calcium copper silicate. Artisans painted it onto tomb walls and the skin of gods. Remarkably, it still glows under infrared light thousands of years later, which is how archaeologists detect traces invisible to the naked eye.
