Achievements
The Ancient Egyptians made many different kinds of achievements in all kinds of subjects. They had their own written language, and they had a number system. Out of all of their achievements the most important to us would probably be the obelisks. They help us understand the daily life of the ancient Egyptians. Obelisks are monuments that pharoahs made for themselves so that after they died, then they would be remembered. The obelisks were extremely tall, at least 70 feet high. They weren't just made for pharoahs though, other people had them too they just weren't as elaborate or well-decorated as the pharoahs'. On the obelisks were stories about what the person/pharoah had done, like the important battles that a pharoah helped win. Those types of important achievements and inventions like the obelisks have really helped us go far in learning about the ancient achievements.
The Egyptians made alot of inventions that were important to us for knowing about how they lived and what they did. Their writing system was very important to us when we learned it. It's called hieroglyphics, it began over 5000 years ago, and it was used by drawing pictures.When we learned it, it helped us study them better because they had ancient writings everywhere talking about how they lived. Another important invention they had was mummification. It was important to us because their mummification process preserved the bodies long enough to where we found them and have been able to study them. The mummification process was important to them because they believed that after you died, you went on into the afterlife. However they believed the only way you could move on into the after life is that you had to be mummified. They also had people put gold, food, clothes, and other necessities in the tomb with them so they could carry it on into the afterlife with them.
Some of the subjects they made achievements in were medicine, astronomy, and, math. Medicine is a very important achievement that they had because they had better ways of healing people. In 2700 B.C.E the worlds earliest known surgey was preformed in Egypt by Imhotep. In 1700 B.C.E they had the earliest diagnostic medicine in Egypt. In their astronomical achievements they figured out when the flood occurred and they planned for it. That’s very important, farming-wise, because by knowing when the floods came they knew when to grow there crops. As a result of the floods, the soil becomes very fertile and easy to plow. They also divided the year into 12 months, each month with 30 days, and then a five day feast period. They also made a solar calendar. They had a few mathematical achievements too and these achievements are important and probably increased their education a lot. In 2700 B.C.E they had the first fully developed base 10 numeration system. Then in 1300 B.C.E they had the 2nd order of algebraic equations.
They had very beautiful building and artistic achievements as well. They made gigantic pyramids. The first one weren’t as advanced or big they made the pyramids with steps on them at first then they made pyramids more advance like The Great Pyramid of Giza. The pyramids were used as tombs for the dead. There were many rooms in the tomb which housed sarcophaguses of mummies, pottery, gold, food, and other luxury items. They placed things like food and gold in the tombs because they believed that the person that died would carry them on to the afterlife. Their artistic achievements have helped us a lot in learning about them. They painted pictures on tombs’ walls of what they did in their daily life like farming. Over time they made more elaborate things like jewelry and pottery. They made statues of their pharaohs, and the gods and goddesses that they believed in. All these things that the Egyptians made, whether it be their language or their art, it really helped us learn about how they lived, what they did, and that they were a great civilization
