cyber day assiment
Some of the most important inventions came from ancient Egypt. The Egyptians invented some of the first medicine. Due to this they expanded there knowledge of the human body. We know this because they wrote all of there information down an papyrus. On them they say that the body has 46 vessels that go from the heart to every limb. That is only one of the many thing the Egyptians discovers about the human body. The second most important invention is hieroglyphics. I think this because that is one of the first forms of writing. They firs started using hieroglyphics to write down the stories of great battles or even just a great accomplishment some one had. That is why people hired scribes because most of the Egyptian people did not know how to write. The third most important invention the Egyptians came up with were the clocks. The Egyptians made two types of clocks the first one is a sun clock and second is a water clock. This mas one of the most important break through in ancient Egypt history because they could tell what time of day it is and when the hottest party of the day and when the day is going to end. The other treason they are important is to know when the crops and farm land need to watered and harvested. The sun clock were built as early as 3500 B.C. Their moving shadows formed a kind of sundial, enabling citizens to partition the day into two parts by indicating noon. They also showed the year's longest and shortest days when the shadow at noon was the shortest or longest of the year. Later, markers added around the base of the monument would indicate further time subdivisions. The water clock were cylindrical or bowl-shaped containers designed to slowly fill with water coming in at a constant rate. Markings on the inside surfaces measured the passage of "hours" as the water level reached them. These clocks were used to determine hours at night, but may have been used in daylight as well. The fourth most important thing was mummification. I think this because sits a way to preserve someone's body. The other treason I think this is because it a break through in science because they learned how to use different types of chemicals to do one thing. The last thing was astronomy. The temples are aligned along the axis of the rising midwinter sun, signifying to Egyptians that they should begin to prepare for planting in the spring. The Great Pyramid of Giza is filled with astronomical significance, based largely upon religious beliefs. the Egyptian astronomy began with recording the time of year for agricultural periods, and may well have served a navigational purpose, a common practice in the desert. These observations became imbued with religious significance and became incorporated into their architecture.
