Western Civ Day #10- The Controlling Cyber Day

Today in Western Civ we did not have class again do to the snow but we did have another Cyber day, today Mr. Schick asked us to answer two short answers so here they are.

A.) Name and describe three technological innovations or inventions of the ancient Egyptians.

One technological advance of ancient Egypt was the making of the sailboat. Now farmers could send ships with goods up river and then get the boats back without having to leave their home. They also invented the plow so that man did not have to crop and plant by hand but use an animal and a tool to do so. The final invention was the making of coinage, so that way things could be bought and not traded making life easier.


B.) Describe three important features of the Egyptian pyramids.
One important feature was that it housed all of the pharaohs and there gold, possessions, and animals that they wanted. They were made of marble and perfectly smooth so it looked like something made from another world. Finally it was so smooth that there were no cracks in-between blocks that a small blade could not even fit through.
