(Please read from the start)
Now that we finished with the out-of-place-Artifacts mentioned in the Wikipedia’s page, I want to add some peculiar artifacts of my own, not listed there. The first is a set of artifacts that can be regrouped under the name of Palettes. We will be taking a general look, then focus on the notable ones, mostly Narmer’s Palette.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ancient_Egyptian_palettes
“A list of a small subset of ancient Egyptian palettes, ranging in the Naqada periods, 4th millennium BC, probably mostly from ~3500 to 3000 BC; some palettes may be from the later period of the earliest 3rd millennium BC.
These cosmetic palettes come in numerous shapes and sizes, and were often found in tombs or graves. They were preceded by a period of palettes called rhomboidal palettes, unadorned, and without the cosmetic mixing circle found on some of the later Naqada period palettes.”

Next we are going to take a closer look at what those Palettes are.
