Cyber Day: Egyptian Inventions

Medicine: The Egyptians knew how to perform many different surgeries and wrote down these surgical procedures.  They found ways to cure many diseases. They also believed in a god that would frighten away evil spirits.

Boats: The Egyptians invented bats so they could transport things to other areas along the Nile.  The boats were made of wood and allowed for easier transporting of goods.

Hieroglyphics: Egyptians used hieroglyphics as a way to keep records of events.  They wrote their names, did math equations, and wrote secret messages.

Calendar: The Egyptians used two different calendars.  The Epagomenal calendar which consisted of 365 days and 5 ceremonial days and a ceremonial calendar which had 360 days.  These calendars helped the Egyptians predict when the Nile would flood.  If they did not know when the Nile was going to flood, they could have died from famine.

Plow: The plow made it easier to plant crops. This meant that they could produce crops faster.
