How to leave and save Al-Fasikh and prepare it
The ancient Egyptians' festivals were linked to astronomical phenomena and their relationship to nature and life. They celebrated the "Spring Festival," which they dated to coincide with the "Spring Solstice," the day when day and night are equal, coinciding with the sun's entry into the constellation Aries. Among these festivals was Sham El-Nessim, which the ancient Egyptians celebrated, and which we still celebrate today. Some consider it a Coptic holiday, but the truth is that the ancient Egyptians officially began celebrating this festival around 2700 BC, during the late Third Dynasty. Sham El-Nessim is considered one of the ancient Egyptian festivals, later adopted by the Israelites and then by the Copts. In modern times, it has become a popular festival celebrated by many Egyptians, both Copts and Muslims. As for eating feseekh, or salted fish, which was among the traditional foods during the Fifth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, the pharaohs took great care in preserving fish, drying and salting it, and making feseekh and malouha (salted fish), as well as extracting roe. Herodotus said of them, "They ate salted fish during their festivals, believing it beneficial at a specific time of year, and they preferred a particular type for salting and preserving it for the festival." I believe the idea of feseekh originated from their renowned mummification skills. On this occasion, we present this application that explains how to make feseekh.
