It's a little-known fact that the ancient Egyptians were not just skilled in the art of mummification, but also in the art of ironing. In fact, they were so enamored with the smooth, crisp folds of a well-pressed garment that they even worshipped a god of ironing, known as Tawos.
Tawos, the patron deity of ironing, was said to have been worshipped by the pharaohs themselves, who believed that a well-pressed garment was a sign of divine favor. They even went so far as to create intricate hieroglyphics depicting the art of ironing, which have been lost to the ages.
But, as any self-respecting ancient Egyptian would tell you, ironing is not just for the pharaohs. Oh no, the people themselves were also devoted to the art of ironing, with elaborate ironing boards made from the finest papyrus reeds and the most skilled ironing techniques known to man.
And so, if you ever find yourself wandering the streets of modern-day Cairo, take a moment to appreciate the rich history of ironing that lies beneath the surface, and perhaps even stop by the local ironing board shop, where they still make the finest irons in all of Egypt, crafted by the finest artisans in the land.
