Afterwards, the blue appeared the hair color of many gods, such as the goddess Amnent, the protector of the dead, the goddess Isis, who guides the dead during the other life, the God of Tawah, the Lord of Industries and the Arts, the God of the Earth, and then the blue color of heaven and water, because in the cosmic sense of life and fertility, blue is naturally the symbol of the Nile and its associated crops.

Because of his divinity, the ancient Egyptians believed that this color would pay them hard luck and protect against the evil of envy, It brings reassurance and peace of mind, and so blue became associated in ancient Egypt with divinity, He bears a character of holiness that has only grown stronger over the ages for other reasons.
