You forget that the ancient Egyptians were also famous for mummification; that practice alone helped them learn much about the human body. The priests and scholars weren't stupid; they knew an opportunity to gain knowledge when they saw one, indeed many asked for cadavers to study. In ancient Egypt, you could sell your body to a priest, who would claim it if you were ever killed. To the Egyptians the body as only a shell; the soul mattered more. Because there was no "reverence for the body as a sacred temple" like other spiritual traditions, Egyptian medicine, consequently, was very advanced.

When you absorb knowledge from previous generation?

In human society, knowledge is constantly being passed between generations. However, the advent of formal schooling greatly accelerated this process. In early childhood (0-4), most knowledge is experiential (learned through experience in the environment). For the rest of childhood through the beginning of adulthood (5-18), the vast majority of any new knowledge is from schooling, which is almost exclusively made up of transfer of knowledge from previous generations. In college (and post-graduate work), the majority of knowledge is still being learned from previous generations, though new knowledge is starting to be created, and significant intra-generational knowledge transfer first becomes noteworthy. Even after college, given the vast base of modern human cultural knowledge, human beings seldom create their own knowledge, and the minority of acquired knowledge will be from the current (or later) generations. A considerable majority of knowledge that a modern human accumulates across their lifetime comes from a generation before theirs.


How did Egyptians learn their skills?

Egyptians learned their skills through a combination of apprenticeship, formal education, and practical experience. Young people often trained under skilled artisans and craftsmen, gaining hands-on experience. Additionally, scribes and priests received formal education in temples, where they learned reading, writing, mathematics, and religious practices. This structured approach ensured the transmission of knowledge and craftsmanship across generations.
