Do you know all of the things the Ancient Egyptians made?

Question

I absolutely LOVE learning about ancient Egypt...they fascinate me. they have made so many things such as hoola hoops..shock absorbers, prosthetics, bridges for dental work, calenders that are far more accurate than our own, and the pyramids that have stones with a space so well fitted you can't even put a piece of paper in between. they even performed brain surgery! anyway, there are many more things...to many to mention, but I wanted to know if there are any other people out there that feel the same way I do?

Answer 1

I used to feel the same way as you. I never missed a history channel special on the Egyptians. Now, however, I am more in love with the ancient Greeks and can't stop reading books about them. However, I do remember that the Egyptians made beer. Funny how that is one of the few things I do remember.

I think it is very nice that you adore them so. Sometimes I feel like a complete loser for obsessing over the Greeks. I'm only 16 and my friends are more into drinking and stuff. It is nice to know that someone else out there loves history just as much as I do, even though they are two very different aspects of it.

Answer 2

yea ancient egyptians were great people really they made amazing things like building pyramids with very simple equipments
and the mummies that still alive till now

Most ancient Egyptians worked as field hands, farmers, craftsmen and scribes. A small group of people were nobles. Together, these different groups of people made up the population of ancient Egypt.

The ancient Egyptians believed in many different gods and goddesses. Each one with their own role to play in maintaining peace and harmony across the land

Writing
The ancient Egyptians believed that it was important to record and communicate information about religion and government. Thus, they invented written scripts that could be used to record this information.

The most famous of all ancient Egyptian scripts is hieroglyphic. However, throughout three thousand years of ancient Egyptian civilisation, at least three other scripts were used for different purposes. Using these scripts, scribes were able to preserve the beliefs, history and ideas of ancient Egypt in temple and tomb walls and on papyrus scrolls.


Time

The civilization of ancient Egypt lasted for over three thousand years. During this time there were many changes in terms of what the ancient Egyptians believed in, and how they lived their lives. However, many aspects of the basic culture, religion, and artistic style of ancient Egypt remained the same.

Answer 3

I don't know all the things they made or created but I'm also fascinated by their abilities to boggle the modern mind!
They were mesmerized by the after-life so they developed superior forms of performing medical procedures such as embalming,removal of critical organs,etc......
They had incredible agricultural methods of harvesting in horrid areas. They developed waterways to channel the power of the great Nile river and also invented the first metal swords made of copper. This invention obviously helped them reign over the lands with military might. They also developed perfumes and even make-up that is the mother and father of modern make-up companies. Amazing feats of engineering marvels like the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings tombs.
Really too much to list and so many things you already mentioned. Hell they even created the first sun-block.....(Hello Sun)???

Answer 4

I love stuff to do with Egypt as well. When they opened Tutankhamen's tomb and found his sandals complete and untouched by the grave robbers, as soon as they touched them they turned to dust. Did you know some people (not me) believe that Tutankhamen's was actually Jesus - rising from the dead etc.
