In ancient Egyptian art, people often can be seen sporting cones on their heads. Now, for the first time, archaeologists have revealed evidence that they actually existed outside of artwork.

Now, for the first time, archaeologists have revealed evidence that they actually existed outside of artwork. Two head cones made of wax and fabric have been uncovered in graves in Amarna, a city built by the pharaoh Akhenaten and inhabited for some 15 years ending in 1332 BC, according to findings published Tuesday in the journal Antiquity. The city is home to thousands of graves, including those of ordinary people.

Cones may have helped 'look one's best' after deathThe tradition of cone-shaped headpieces endured in ancient Egyptian art for 1,500 years. The cones could be seen on figures attending banquets, religious events and after their death. Some scenes appear to associate them with sensuality or fertility. They appeared in a variety of colors and were marked with decorations. And the cones could be seen on males and females.
