Question

write a paragraph about Egypt including Pyramids and mummification, Hieroglyphics and papyrus, Architecture and massive buildings, Developments in geometry, and Creating 365-day calendar.

Answer 1

Answer: The Egyptian’s inventions were many and it might be easier to list the things they did not invent such as the wheel; not unexpected in a country where everyone travels on water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most scholars now believe that isolated civilizations first arose independently at several locations; initially in Mesopotamia around Tigris and Euphrates rivers and, a little later, in Egypt and the eastern Mediterranean. Other civilizations arose in Asia along the Indus River in modern India and the Yellow River in what is now China.

All these early civilizations had to invent or discover everything for themselves because unlike later civilizations such as the Greeks in the west or the Chinese in the east, they had no one to learn from. Therefore, the Egyptians had to invent mathematics, geometry, surveying, metallurgy, astronomy, accounting, writing, paper, medicine, the ramp, the lever, the plow, mills for grinding grain, and all the paraphernalia that goes with large organized societies.

So how do we define Egyptian inventions today? It is very difficult to determine because three thousand years is a long time for discoveries to be made and lost or appropriated by others. For example, the Greeks sometimes take the credit for inventing mathematics but they learned their math from the Egyptians and then later developed and improved upon what the Egyptians achieved.

3000 BC appears to have been a critical time for the development of technology, especially metal-making. The Egyptians as well as the Mesopotamians independently discovered that by mixing a small quantity of tin ore with copper ores they could make bronze which is harder and more durable. This set off a chain of connected innovations that could not have happened without the primary discovery.

Answer 2

The Ancient Egyptians

The ancient Egyptians are probably best known for the construction of the pyramids and for the process of mummification, which was used to preserve the bodies of the pharaohs and their queens. The Egyptians were also responsible for the development of hieroglyphics, a system of writing using pictures and symbols. Papyrus, a paper made from reeds that grew in the Nile River, was used to write on hieroglyphics. The Egyptians were also great architects and builders and created massive buildings, such as the temples at Karnak and Luxor. The Egyptians were also responsible for the development of geometry and were able to create a 365-day calendar.
