9. Bowling
We’re not the only ones who like throwing a ball down a lane to hit pins!! Turns out, the Ancient Egyptians liked it too! And actually invented the game! How do we know? Archaeologists found a child's grave with pin-like objects and marbles that appeared to be used to take down the pins, kind of like bowling. But, it was hardly conclusive.
8. Door Locks
When you leave your house for the day, the last thing you do, is lock your doors!! And if you want to thank someone for that door lock, you can start with the Egyptians. Actually, I take that back, you can start with the Assyrians, since they were the ones who actually invented it.
7. Toothpaste
Even back in the ancient world, dental hygiene was very important. The Egyptians weren't the first to come up with solutions to fix their teeth, but it seems like they were the first to create a substance to use on teeth to improve their health. The first toothpaste!
6. Glass Making
While we don’t really know who the first humans were to make glass, the Egyptians were some of the first to use it in their art and culture. The Mesopotamians were making and selling glass beads as far back as 2500 BC out of silica-sand, lime, and soda. Then, Egypt started using the same methods and improving on them.
5. Wigs
If there's one thing we can all agree, it's that no matter the place or time period, we human beings can get very vain at times. We often pride ourselves on our looks, and when we're not looking our best we do what we have to in order to "make ourselves look better". So it may be a surprise that the concept of wigs actually came from Egypt.
4. Paper
Here's another one that needs clarification. True paper was made by the Chinese in 100 B.C. However, the true ancestor to paper was papyrus, and that was made by the Egyptians in 3000 B.C. Funnily enough, this was the first true evolution of writing in terms of what material was actually written on. Earlier civilizations would carve things into stone which was very time consuming.
3. The Alphabet
It’s one of the first things that we learn! It's the building block of language in many ways, and it's instrumental in the learning process. But that begs the question, where did the concept of the Alphabet come from? Ta da!! Egypt!
2. Mathematics
It's hard to think about the ancient world in terms of what we have now and what they didn't have then. It may seem odd that “math” was a thing in the Ancient World, but the Egyptians were happy to use it in many aspects of their lives. They even had dedicated math specialists called “arpedonapti” who were incredibly adept at Geometry.
1. Medical Literature
While medicine was clearly not invented by the Egyptians, the Egyptians were the first, or at the very least one of the first, to actually document how they treated people. The first known medical manual is the Edwin Smith papyrus of Ancient Egypt.
