Discoveries and Inventions (Berry):
1. At first, they Egyptians wrote on clay and stone, but they needed to find a more convenient writing surface. They discovered it in papyrus, an early form of paper made of a reed found in the marshy areas of the Nile delta. 2. No one knows how or when the Egyptians invented their hiroglyphic writing system, which they called diving speech. But they were already using it by the late 3000's B.C., and they used it for more than 3,000 years. In ancient Egypt, as Mesopotamia , ideas were written down in picture-like symbols called hieroglyphics. The Egyptians began to use hieroglyphics long ago, because they need a way to keep track of the kingdom’s growing wealth. As the Egyptian empire grew, it became more necessary to create more pictures fore more complicated ideas. 3. Ancient Egyptians needed to predict when the Nile River would flood. Astronomers discovered that the Nile would appear to rise rapidly about the same time that they could see Sirius, the Dog Star, in the sky shortly before sunrise. They found that it came to about 365 days, which became the length of a year.

4. The Egyptians had to have mathematics; because they used basic mathematics to find solutions for problems they faced everyday. Mathematics helped Egyptians measure stone so that they could be cut into proper sizes to build pyramids. They use the length of the body, and distance from your elbow to the tips of your fingers as measurements.

5. Religion and medicine were closely related in ancient Egypt. Doctors were specially trained priests who used religious practices and their own knowledge of illnesses to try to heal the sick. Probably because of their work on mummies, they knew a great deal about the body. The ancient Egyptians created many medicines from plant, like herbalism.
