Egyptian Science

The ancient Egyptians are famous for many scientific achievements:
  • metal working, including working with copper and gold: 
  • glass-blowing: 
  • knowledge of anatomy and medicine; 
  • invention of a calendar; 
  • the standardisation of measurement; 
  • paper-making from papyrus reeds; 
Metal working
The ancient Egyptians learned how to heat metal ores in order to extract the metals. They were skilled metal-workers, particularly in copper and in gold. The picture below shows workmen pouring molten (gold made liquid through heating) into moulds.
