(Beeswax was discovered to be in the cones Ancient Egyptians wore on their heads Dec 2019, Egyptian Magic is a celebrity secret skin cream made from Beeswax and Olive Oil made by mimicking the recipe used to coat the Sarcophaguses, Galen had access to the Library of Alexandria and made the Galen's Cold Cream Recipe, it was coated with Gold to make Amulets, and used to make custom shapes with the lost Beeswax Metal casting tech that was rediscovered, the God Pan's Reed pipes were held together by Beeswax, there is a Triad of Bee Godesses thought to have given Appollo sight)
Another test with #PunicWax. There is a clearly spiritual element to it, as well as things that will be easier for us to understand because of it. For example, the Ancient Egyptian/Kemetic Sacred Perfume Recipes include Cinnamon, so I made a Cinnamon Punic Wax. And I found that when you add the Cinnamon and Brine (Salt Water + Baking Soda) there is a clear reaction similar but much smaller than Vinegar and Baking Soda. And Cinnamaldehyde was the Egyptian Formaldehyde (Embalming fluid) for mummies, so this was all likely fairly common knowledge in Egypt.
When you start the Saponification the mixture stays warm, long after it should have cooled, it is still warm, even hot. I tried both with Sodium Hydroxide in an Imphepho mixture, and Brine in a Cinnamon mixture. As it cools the Punic Wax layer forms at the top and for some reason, especially with the Cinnamon smell, it feels like baking basically. And calling it baking feels right, I am pretty sure that is the closest thing we have to understand how the Ancients felt about it.
These bubbles are a solid layer of Wax. You can melt it and boil it more than once and keep processing it.
