ancient Egypt is generally considered the first civilization to make use of the sciences, including math and medical uses.

The ancient Egyptians were skilled pyramid builders, and history shows that they definitely had the information on the area and geometry of the pyramids. Land measurement was also used, as when the Nile River flooded, the water erased the boundaries between the farmers' fields. Priests used the measurement of the depth of the Nile to decide how many taxes would be charged among the working and peasent classes.

Egyptians were the first people to figure out how to make bread rise by adding yeast to the dough.

The alphabet is said to have been influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphs, which used 24 symbols for consonants, along with many other symbols.

Our 365 day calendar probably has its origins in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians figured out a 360 day calendar based on the various religious festivals and feasts throughout the year. They also split the year into 12 months. Ancient Egypt already had ways to measure time by the light from morning, afternoon, and night. Sundials were built to measure time, using the shadow from the angle of the sun's light to mark the time.

Ancient Egypt is credited with the inventions of many accessories. Scissors, combs, toothbrushes and toothpaste, plus the lock and key, the weaving loom, drums, and the first oil lamps.

Religions around the world may have had their roots influenced by Egyptian beliefs. Egyptians believed in gods/higher beings, and many religions have this as their basis.

Ancient Egyptians also loved entertainment. Board Games with pieces and dice were played, and drama possibly showed up in the Egyptians' daily life. The world's first fairytale is rumoured to have been created by the ancient Egyptians.

Our modern society has many objects, inventions, thoughts, concepts and technology that can be traced back to ancient Egypt.
