2 Egyptian Innovations, Science and Technology By: Matt, Norman, Evan

3 Technology The most famous form of Egyptian technology are the pyramids. The truth about how they are built are still unknown. Built Over 4000 years ago and still stands today.

4 The Pyramids The pyramids of Giza are one of the 7 wonders of the world. Consisted of over 2.6 million blocks. The Tomb Of King Khufu.

7 Egyptian Innovations The Egyptians were very innovated with there creations. They created inventions that we still use today very frequently. Some inventions were fishing hooks, paper, ink (black), and sails. The innovations of the Egyptians were essential to their way of life, for example since they lived on the Nile the sailboat was essential to travel and trade. They also created to innovations that have changed our lives totally. The Horus Eye Fraction System Hieroglyphics, an ancient writing

8 Horus Eye Fraction System This is an ancient Egyptian way of doing math. They took the Horus Eye divided it into fractions and that is now they did some math. They used this system to measure fractions of Grain. Math was used to solve problems, like how many bricks were used in a house or the heights of pyramid buildings. = 1 / 8 = 1 / 2 = 1 / 4 = 1 / 16 = 1 / 64 = 1 / 32

9 Hieroglyphics This is an Ancient form of writing created by the Egyptians They use symbols to represent words The Rosetta Stone is an ancient artifact that helps us decode these meanings and understand about the Hieroglyphics Here are some examples

10 Science The ancient Egyptians were amazing ScientistsThe ancient Egyptians were amazing Scientists They created many Inventions using alchemy, metallurgy and astronomy or even glass makingThey created many Inventions using alchemy, metallurgy and astronomy or even glass making

11 Metallurgy Metallurgy was a huge business in egypt and was great for trade and economyMetallurgy was a huge business in egypt and was great for trade and economy The Egyptians figured out how to extract copper, iron, bronze from mines and many others but their greatest was goldThe Egyptians figured out how to extract copper, iron, bronze from mines and many others but their greatest was gold Mines supplied thousands of jobs for the people and gods were created based on the metalsMines supplied thousands of jobs for the people and gods were created based on the metals These metals were then melted down and put into casts to create the many figurines and extravagant gold creations that they are known forThese metals were then melted down and put into casts to create the many figurines and extravagant gold creations that they are known for They also used similar techniques to make glass, which was very important in daily lifeThey also used similar techniques to make glass, which was very important in daily life

13 Alchemy The great king Hermes is thought to be the founder of alchemy, and his famous “emerald tablet” is said to be the primary document of Alchemy and was found buried with himThe great king Hermes is thought to be the founder of alchemy, and his famous “emerald tablet” is said to be the primary document of Alchemy and was found buried with him This is a scientific technology which questions reality mentally, physically, and spirituallyThis is a scientific technology which questions reality mentally, physically, and spiritually It is said that encoded on the Emerald Tablet is a mysterious formula with comprehensive steps to achieve personal transformation and even accelerate the evolution of our speciesIt is said that encoded on the Emerald Tablet is a mysterious formula with comprehensive steps to achieve personal transformation and even accelerate the evolution of our species Famous alchemists include Newton, pLato, and Thebes which have all theorized about the Emerald TabletFamous alchemists include Newton, pLato, and Thebes which have all theorized about the Emerald Tablet
