second cyber day (:

So it was decided yesterday that it was too cold to go to go to school so we have another cyber day. Mr. Schick left us a assignment for cyber, it was too write about the inventions the Ancient Egyptians made. I'm just going to put it into a whole paragraph:

The Ancient Egyptians invented a lot of things like the black ink, first ox drawn plow, 365 day calendar and leap year, paper, first triangular shaped pyramids, organized labor, hieroglyphics as an early system of writing and sails.

The 365 Day Calendar and Leap Year: The Ancient Egyptians invented one of the first calendars by making and recording a lunar calendar system. A Lunar Calendar System is basically the same kind of calendar that we have today. The found this out based off of astronomy. At night, they divided the sky into 36 groups of stars called Decans which could be used to tell the time. One of the first calendars lost one day every four years so they made  another calendar that was based off of the star Sirius. It consisted of the 362 days and the extra quarter day. Medicine: Some of the beliefs of medicine were based off of myths and ancient legends. Some even believed that sickness came from bad spirits and would attempt to "cast" out the bad spirit. The ancient Egyptians also found out about medicine by increasing knowledge of the human anatomy and just common sense. There is evidence of people in there having the title of doctors and physicians. Although, physicians and doctors were in "Existence" before Ancient Egypt. In 2600 BC there was the physician named Imhotep to King Zozer. All the knowledge we know about the Egyptian medicine came from documents called papyrus (1900 BC &  1500  BC). Paper: The Ancient Egyptians not only made the first paper but they made one of the first forms of writing called Hieroglyphics. They invented this system of writing and the paper to write it on. Sails: It was very essential for the Egyptian people to have invented sails. In class we learned that Egyptian life was centered around the Nile River. Without sails and boats the people wouldn't be able to have transportation. Organized Labour: Egyptians are known to be one of the first people that had organized labour because of the pyramids they learned how to construct. These massive pyramids did not just spring up out of the ground, with organized labour and the Artisans they build the gigantic pyramids.

THE END :)
