1 - Ancient Egyptian - Influence On Modern Society

Ancient Egypt is known as one of the first civilizations to make use of science, mathematics and medical knowledge. This is seen as the start of our now developed knowledge in those fields.

Throughout the Ancient Egyptian Era, these influences were seen in many ways. First of all, the Ancient Egyptians were skilled pyramid builders, and certain artefacts and the pyramids themselves, show that the civilization knew information on the area and geometry of the pyramids.

The Great Pyramid, build by Khufu in 2550 BC is a true representation of the mathamatical skills of the Egyptians, with it standing higher than St Pauls Cathedral, and being aligned with great accuracy, almost to true north.

Religion was another point influenced by this Era. In writings and artwork of the time, Egyptians wondered, and also answered, questions like, what happens to you after death? and how was the world created? They answered these questions themselves with myths and legends, and no scientifically evidence what-so-ever. These myths and legends have had a direct influence on modern day religions and beliefs.
