  • 67 Historical Foundations of Science and Technology in Egypt
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 2 No 6 ISSN 2281-3993 Published by MCSER-CEMAS-Sapienza University of Rome August 2013 Historical Foundations of Science and Technology in Egypt Nagwa Nawar Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, Egypt Doi:10.5901/ajis.2013.v2n6p67 Abstract This paper represents a brief description of the historical foundations of science and technology in Egypt. Since the ancient Egyptians were masters in metallurgy and were known throughout the ancient world as expert goldsmiths up to the twenty first century. Keywords: historical foundations of science and technology in Egypt. 1. Introduction For millennia, Egypt has made significant contributions to the progress of mankind and to the advancement of society. As a cradle of civilization and a beacon of knowledge, Egypt was a leader in scientific discoveries and innovations that defined the foundations of many fields including astronomy, chemistry, medicine, and of course engineering whose supremacy can still be seen today in the majestic architecture of the Pyramids and Karnak. The ancient Egyptians were enterprising people: they left many impressive monuments such as pyramids and temples; they were among the first nations to develop metallurgy, out of a need for tools; they were the first to extract copper from its ores and to extract gold by melting; they were experts in jewelry and gold working as is seen from the world-famous death mask of Tutankhamun.1 2. Ancient Egyptian Urban Planning and Infrastructure One indication of the Egyptians' advanced civilization is doubtless their knowledge of architecture and engineering (Figure 1).

  • Felucca Letter-CC - Google Docs
    1/14/2019 Felucca Letter-CC - Google Docs January 14, 2019 Dear Blank, I just got back from an amazing trip to Egypt. I took sixty students along with me. Man, what a nightmare getting everyone a passport and the proper shots. We took a 747 out of SFO, that’s San Francisco International Airport, and the flight took over TWENTY hours, twelve to London, a four hour lay over, then another four hours to Cairo. When we finally got to our hotel we were so tired we didn’t notice how nice it actually was. We spent three nights in the Four Season Cairo at the Nile. What a spectacular hotel! The pool is amazing with four hot tubs and a swim up bar. Of course, Mrs. M and I couldn’t enjoy the bar, except for a soda, as we were traveling with 60 rambunctious sixth graders, but...maybe next time. Most incredible though was finally visiting all the sites I been teaching my students about for the past 28 years. Finally, I got to see Khufu’s Great Pyramid at Giza and the impressive monument to Ramses II at Abu Simbel. But, my two favorite sites are actually less well­known. Both Hatshepsut’s temple at Dayr­al­Bahri and Senusret’s White Chapel have amazing stories behind their construction. My favorite site was Hatshepsut's temple at Dayr­al­Bahri. Hatshepsut was the first really powerful female pharaoh. She loved to be viewed as a man, and often wore a false beard, the symbol of divine kingship.

They are a testimony of the everyday life of the ancient Egyptians for which remains have been found throughout all of the temples of Karnak. Continuous occupation from the First Intermediate Period until the Late Roman Period is well attested at different locations in the complex of Karnak. Settlements are easily recognizable by their use of brick, especially mud-brick. The artifacts and organic remains found during new excavations of settlements give us a good idea of the inhabitants and their daily life.

  • Architecture and the Pyramids of Giza Known As “The Age of the Pyramids,” the Old Kingdom Was Characterized by Revolutionary
    Architecture and the Pyramids of Giza Known as “the Age of the Pyramids,” the Old Kingdom was characterized by revolutionary advancements in architecture. Figure 1: The Pyramids of Giza This view shows all three pyramid structures: the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. The Old Kingdom (2686 BC - 2182 BC) was a period of political stability and economic prosperity, during which great tombs were built for Egyptian Kings in the form of pyramids. The first king to launch a major pyramid building project was King Djoser, who built his famous “Step Pyramid” at Saqqara. The Pyramids of Giza are the greatest architectural achievement of the time, and include three pyramid structures and the Great Sphinx monument. It would have taken several thousand workers decades to complete just one pyramid. While we know that the stone for the pyramids was quarried, transported and cut from the nearby Nile, we still cannot be sure just how the massive stones were then put into place. While stone was generally reserved for tombs and temples, sun-baked mud bricks were used in the construction of Egyptian houses, palaces, fortresses, and town walls. Note: Limestone is an abundant rock of marine and freshwater sediments, primarily composed of calcite (CaCO₃). It occurs in a variety of forms, both crystalline and amorphous. To quarry means to obtain (mine) stone from an excavation pit, usually by blasting, cutting, or digging. A quarry is a site for mining stone, limestone or slate. A sphinx was a creature with the head of a human and the body of an animal (commonly a lion).
