| An ancient Egyptian lamp was a bowl filled with salt and oil. Fuel was oil pressed from castor beans, which burnt well but gave off a strong smell. These lamps were left burning all night around houses during the festival of lamps, in addition to their normal use as domestic lighting. Such ancient lamps were practical, the wick was saturated with oil, when lighted, it burned with a small, steady conical flame, slowly using up fuel. This small lamp could easily burn all night. Egyptians used wicks made of Reeds, papyrus, and palm. The brass wick holder was essential, but also pottery or stone piece was made for more permanence. The wick floated on the oil, .the salt gived the lamp a remarkably steady feel, held the fuel, and supported the wick. All in all, this ancient method was a very practical answer to lighting.
