Often, things which are discovered for the first time, are also called "inventions", and in many cases, there is no clear line between the two. Below is a list of such inventions. Furniture became common first in Ancient Egypt during the Naqada culture. During that period a wide variety of furniture pieces were invented and used. Atalla and Dawon Kahng at Bell Labs in[] enabled the practical use of metal—oxide—semiconductor MOS transistors as memory cell storage elements, a function previously served by magnetic cores. MOSFET scaling and miniaturization see List of semiconductor scale examples have been the primary factors behind the rapid exponential growth of electronic semiconductor technology since the s, [] as the rapid miniaturization of MOSFETs has been largely responsible for the increasing The Monuments of Egypt: An A-Z Companion to Ancient Egyptian Architecture densityincreasing performance and decreasing power consumption of integrated circuit chips and electronic devices since the s.

History of Ancient Egypt and the Ancient Egyptian People Egypt—Mesopotamia relations were the relations between the civilisations of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamiain the Middle East. Distinctly foreign objects and art forms entered Egypt during this period, indicating contacts with several parts of Asia. The designs that were emulated by Egyptian artists are numerous: the Uruk "priest-king" with his tunique and brimmed hat in the posture of the Master of animalsthe serpopards or sepo-felines, winged griffins, snakes around rosettes, boats with high prows, all characteristic of Mesopotamian art of the Late Uruk Uruk IV, c. Egyptians used traditional disk-shaped maceheads during the early phase of Naqada culturecirca BCE. At the end of the period, the disk-shaped macehead was replaced by the superior Mesopotamian-style pear-shaped macehead as seen on the Narmer Palette. It is generally thought that cylinder seals were introduced from Mesopotamia to Egypt during the Naqada II period. Cylinder seals were made in Egypt as late as the Second Intermediate Periodbut they were essentially replaced by scarabs from the time of the Middle Kingdom. Lapis Lazuli was imported in great quantity by Egypt, and already used in many tombs of the Naqada II period. Lapis Lazuli probably originated in northern Afghanistanas no other sources are known, and had to be transported across the Iranian plateau to Mesapotamia, and then Egypt. In addition, Egyptian objects were created which clearly mimic Mesopotamian forms, although not slavishly. Egyptian architecture also was influenced, as it adopted element of Mesopotamian Temple and civic architecture. Recessed niches in particular, which are characteristic of Mesopotamian Temple architecture, were adopted for the design of false doors in the tombs of the First Dynasty and Second Dynastyfrom the time of the Naqada III period circa BCE. The design of the ziggurat was probably a precursor to that of the Egyptian pyramidsthe earliest of which dates to circa BCE. The route of this trade is difficult to determine, but contact with Canaan does not predate the early dynastic, so it is usually assumed to have been by sea trade. The intensity of the exchanges suggest however that the contacts between Egypt and Mesopotamia were often direct, rather than merely through middlemen or through trade. The fact that so many Gerzean sites are at the mouths of wadis which lead to the Red Sea may indicate some amount of trade via the Red Sea though Byblian trade potentially could have crossed the Sinai and then be taken to the Red Sea. These early contacts probably acted as a sort of catalyst for the development of Egyptian culture, particularly in respect to The Monuments of Egypt: An A-Z Companion to Ancient Egyptian Architecture inception of writing, and the codification of royal and vernacular imagery. Egyptian palettes, such as the Narmer Palette — BCborrow elements of Mesopotamian iconography, in particular the sauropod design of Uruk. Egyptian statuette, — BC. The Lapis lazuli material is thought to have been imported through Mesopotamia from Afghanistan. While there is clear evidence the Naqada II culture borrowed abundantly from Mesopotamia, the most commonly held view today is that the achievements of the First Dynasty were the result of a long period of indigenous cultural and political development. Although there are many examples of Mesopotamian influence in Egypt in the 4th millennium BCE, the reverse is not true, and there are no traces of Egyptian influence in Mesopotamia at that time. It is generally thought that Egyptian hieroglyphs "came into existence a little after Sumerian scriptand, probably [were], invented under the influence of the latter", [50] and that it is "probable that the general idea of expressing words The Monuments of Egypt: An A-Z Companion to Ancient Egyptian Architecture a language in writing was brought to Egypt from Sumerian Mesopotamia ". Standard reconstructions of the development of writing generally place the development of the Sumerian proto-cuneiform script before the development of Egyptian hieroglyphs, with the suggestion the former influenced the latter. There is however a lack of direct evidence, and "no definitive determination has been made as to the origin of hieroglyphics in ancient Egypt".

Overall the mummies studied were closer genetically to Near Eastern people than the modern Egyptian population, which has a greater proportion of genes coming from sub-Saharan Africa after the Roman period. The data suggest a high level of genetic interaction with the Near East since ancient times, probably going back to Prehistoric Egypt : "Our data seem to indicate close admixture and affinity at a much earlier date, which is unsurprising given the long and complex connections between Egypt and the Middle East. These connections date back to Prehistory and occurred at a variety of scales, including overland and maritime commerce, diplomacy, immigration, invasion and deportation" [61] [59]. After this early period of exchange, and the direct introduction of Mesopotamia components in Egyptian culture, Egypt soon started to assert its own style from the Early Dynastic
