Did Egyptians knew about pheromones in ancient times?
Hi Faraon,
welcome to the forum!
interesting question - i think egyptians used animal musks which can have similar effects like human pheromones to a certain degree…
egyptians also used myrrh and incense which have similar chemical structures but i don’t think they had as strong effects like real pheromones… here is a link with some information on that topic:

Hi there and welcome to the community Faraon, I am not sure if they did or not, I’m sure a more knowledgeable member in history will be along shortly.
Would you mind answering a few questions as to gender, and personality.

Hey there!
I heard somewhere that Cleo used copulins or something.
How would you describe your personality?
What do you want to achieve with pheromones?
Are you looking for any self effects?
nice meeting you!

Faraon, Egyptians where masters of beautiful scents. Perfumeries were producing in these parts around 3,000 BC.
To get to the scientific level that was required for at least rudimentary understanding of pheromones, by today’s standards, we must move forward to the Greek Archaic-Classical and Hellenistic periods (700-150BC), were great advances were made in the realm of science (some would say science as we know it was invented during this period.) Many people, Aristotle being one of them studied animals and made certain conclusions about how they are attracted to one another, and how mating cycles work etc. These were probably the first pheromone studies. Whilst perfumeries also had a roaring trade during the classical Greek period, the purpose of these was to smell damn fine!
Cheers 
Ps. Let us know more about your personality and what you want to get out of pheromones and Tisha will give you a gift certificate.
Hello Welcome to Pherotalk
Yes but not to the extent we do now of course. They knew that certain scents could be used as a aphrodisiac. They knew that humans emitted musks that effected others much like animals. They relied on alchemy and aphrodisiacs more then and they were of great value which is why they often had them placed in there tombs with them.
Its been recorded that Cleopatra used her own natural copulins and menstrual blood in her perfumes to attract men.
Copulins by the way are vaginal secretions.
Of course we have come a long way and mones are now synthetic.
Now can you tell us about your personality and what you would like mones to do for you?
I look forward to your reply

Just to avoid confusion, it should be noted that Cleopatra was not ancient Egyptian in the “pyramid” sense. These were built thousands of years before her birth. Cleopatra lived around 50 BC during the Hellenistic period. She was of the Ptolemy family, the Greek rulers of this part of the Hellenistic empire which developed during the decades following Alexander the Greats conquests of Asia. I am quite certain the wonderful library of Alexandria Egypt would have held many studies on pheromones, but unfortunately these and many other technological and philosophical texts were lost when the Early-Christians went on rampage burning libraries and killing scientists and philosophers.
Faraon, as the others have asked, what would you personally like to get out of pheromones? You have to answer this in order to qualify for the gift certificate that smartmones generously provides to new forum members.
