WHAT EGYPTIANS MADE

• Significant advances in ancient Egypt during the dynastic period include astronomy, mathematics, and medicine.
• They also made jewelry, pottery, boats, ferries, and litters.

ASTRONOMY

• For the Egyptians, the practice of astronomy went beyond legend. Although astronomy is the branch of science that deals with celestial object, space, and the physical universe as a whole.
• We use this today by going to space and studying things. We also use it when we use our gps.

MATHEMATICS

• Abstract science of number, quantity, and space. Mathematics may be studied in its own right, or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics.
• Written evidence of the use of mathematics was found with ivory labels found in tomb U-j at Abydos. These labels were used as tags for grave goods.

MATHEMATICS

MEDICINE

• The medicine of the ancient Egyptians is some of the oldest documented.From the beginnings of the civilization in the late fourth millennium BC until the Persian invasion of 525 BC, Egyptian medical practice went largely unchanged but was highly advanced for its time, including simple non-invasive surgery, setting of bones, dentistry, and an extensive set of pharmacopoeia. Egyptian medical thought influenced later traditions, including the Greeks.
• We still use medicine today to help with sickness

MEDICINE

• We don't necessary use this kind of jewelry but we still wear jewelry today.

AMULETS/ JEWELRY

• An amulet is a small object that a person wears, carries, or offers to a deity because he or she believes that it will magically bestow a particular power or form of protection. The conviction that a symbol, form, or concept provides protection, promotes well-being, or brings good luck is common to all societies: in our own, we commonly wear religious symbols, carry a favorite penny, or a rabbit’s foot.

POTTERY

• The Egyptians were one of the first cultures in the world to create pottery.
• They also needed pottery to hold water as well as for cooking foods. Since Egyptians took a lot of pride in their art, they used pottery to reflect their creativity and imagination.
• We still use this today. We make cups
