Introduction
The Egyptians constructed some of the world's largest monuments without modern technology. Their architecture and art has influenced modern architecture and art. The Egyptians also made advances in astrology, astronomy, science and medicine.
The Egyptians also influenced architecture. Their design of doorways and use of obelisks can still be seen today. Obelisks are long, tall pinnacle-shaped monuments that stand upright. The Egyptians wrote important inscriptions on obelisks. Egyptian obelisks have been transported around the world as gifts between nations and have been adapted for modern usage.
One of the greatest legacies of ancient Egypt was the invention of papyrus, reed paper. Papyrus was highly sought after as paper for writing. It was the first paper and was used for important documents both by the Egyptians and other ancient civilizations. It was used for thousands of years.
Egyptians doctors treated physical injuries, such as wounds and broken bones, like doctors today. They examined patients, conducted test, and made their diagnosis. Egyptians were the first to use surgical instruments. Egyptian medicine provided the foundation for modern medicine. Doctors today still use the three categories that Egyptians used to describe a patients condition: favorable, uncertain, and unfavorable.
