(clock/time) I
believe the most important of the five things I have chose is the clock. Having
a set standard time system allows them to advance much more as a civilization. they divided their days into hour like parts called obelisks. their clock used the motion of the sun or water to divide their days. by creating a form of time in whatever way they did choose to do it, created more organization throughout the land.
(farming) secondly i think their use of irrigation when it flooded was very important to the people of Egypt. with the new technology in their life, they created a way to farm all year round (even during the flooding season). the technology they created was called a shaduf. it was a cross pole that was attached to a post in the ground. one end had a container attached , the other had a counter weight. when it flooded, the container was filled with the flood water from a channel before being raised up by the counter weight and swung where to the farmer wanted the access water to go.
(medicine) third, i think their advancements in technology was important to their culture. with these advancements, they are able to find out when people had medical illnesses. they were also able to find some treatments for these illnesses. they did this through just being educated mostly. with all the extra food going around, they were able to make these advancements such as surgery and things to take when they have certain illnesses.
(writing) 4th i picked writing. the form of writing they had in their time was called hieroglyphs. by creating this form of writing, they were able to keep track of mostly everything. by keeping track of things, it allowed them to advance in even more things.
(astronomy) 5th and probably least important in advancing their civilization there was astronomy. the one thing this did was help with was creating a calendar. the calendar and astronomy showed to them that their was about 365 days in a year and is divided into about 12 months. all this did was help keep track of things even more.
