Is there any Egyptian God of Technology?
Nope. Technology didn't exist back then.
OBJECTION: Technology is defined as any kind of innovation that makes work easier or more efficient. This includes everything from the rocks first used as tools to supercomputers that can tell you what you're going to say next. In the period of Greek and Roman mythology, the largest innovation was the forging of metal into armor, tools, weapons, gilding for sculptures and so on.
Furthermore, Greek and Roman Gods didn't serve just a singular purpose in the universe. Hephaestus (Roman equivalent is Vulcan) is famously known as the god of fire. But Hephaestus is also renown as the foundations of metalworking, having forged Zeus' lightning bolts, stone masonry, and the art of sculpture. Through these, he is the patron god of metal, metallurgy, fire, volcanoes, blacksmiths, artisans, craftsmen, sculptors, andtechnology.

Why did Egyptian people only draw sideways?
I don't think the Egyptian art is 2d. It seems 2d but its actually more 3d! I know this maybe hard to believe but try looking at the art as if its 3d and it has a vanishing point. Then you may see what I'm talking about, its pretty deep. being under the influence helps to prove this point and I'm trying not to encourage this but I'm being real. I'm wondering now why is there art 3d. Mushrooms or LSD will prove this point. I'm not trying to promote drug use though, check out the movie wonderwall and watch the beginning and they prove my point exactly.
The ancient Egyptians were polytheistic, therefore they did not believe in a singular god.
Why did egyptians art and architecture often depict animals such as the lion body of the sphinx?
The standard approach is to say that they represent fantastically imaginative gods in the Egyptian pantheon and nothing more than that. Possibly the general characteristics of some animals were associated with gods having similar characteristics. A growing number of researchers and enthusiasts insist that they represent actual animal/human hybrids created by extraterrestrial beings. As far as I am aware there have never been found any skeletal remains of such creatures, but that alone doesn't preclude the possibility that they existed.

How many people built the pyrimids?
The number of people required to build a pyramid depends on its size. According to the Greek historian Herodotus (c.450BC) 100,000 men toiled for twenty years to build the Great pyramid of king Khufu. Later pyramids, according to surviving records, took about 5,000 men to build. The workers were often peasants conscripted during the inundation of the river Nile when work was not possible in the fields. The majority of these men, if not all, would have been naked, too low in status to wear clothes.

Did ancient Egypt drink coffee or tea?
Coffea canephora and Coffea arabica, the plants from which coffee beans come, are native to western sub-Saharan Africa. However, despite their origins in the same continent as the Ancient Egyptian civilization, there is no actual evidence of its spread to North African before the mid-fifteenth century CE. On the subject of tea, Camellia sinensis, from which the popular beverage is brewed, is native Southeast Asia. Tea is believed to have its origins in the Shang dynasty (1600-1046 BCE). Though there are signs of trade between Egypt and China as far back as 1070 BCE, the earliest records of tea in the West is dated to 879 CE. Herbal tea on the other hand, or tisane, has been consumed in some form or another by cultures worldwide since prehistory.
It depends on where you are in the world. Grass or sod homes are made from blocks of turf cut out of the ground. The grass ties the sod together so it doesn't crumble when it gets wet.
Grass huts are typically made by tying bundles of grass onto a framework of wood. The overlaps make a barrier against most rain.
The clue is in the name, written in hieroglyphs as ht.shpswt, which means "foremost of noble women". The final -t is a standard feminine ending in the ancient Egyptian language (the male version would be ht.shpsw).
She became pharaoh, extremely unusually for a woman, in around 1479 BC and ruled for 22 years. She was not the first and not the only female pharaoh, but it was still something extraordinary and difficult for the Egyptians to comprehend; this explains why Hatshepsut is frequently depicted with male attributes such as a false beard and male titles (including the title "king").
Subsequent male pharaohs obviously considered the idea of a female pharaoh as unacceptable as many attempts were made to erase all mention of her on monuments.
