Ancient Egyptian Inventions

Ancient Egyptian times started in 3200 BC. 
During this time they invented multiple items. 
such as:

Pyramids

Mathematics











The police

Glassmaking 











Surgical instruments
















Pyramids. 
The ancient Egyptians built pyramids
as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens. The
pharaohs were concealed in pyramids of many different
shapes and sizes from before the beginning of The Old 
Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom. 
There are about eighty pyramids known today from 
ancient Egypt.

Mathematics.
Ancient Egyptian mathematics is unique mathematics
that was developed and used in Ancient Egypt
c. 3000 to c. 300 BC, from the Old Kingdom of Egypt
until roughly the beginning of Hellenistic Egypt. ... 
Evidence for Egyptian mathematics is limited to the
scarce amount of surviving sources written on
papyri. (papers P.L)

Police.
Most policemen and guards were armed with
staffs, though some would also have police dogs, 
and even types of trained monkeys (though that
was quite rare). Around the time the ancient 
Egyptian police were organized into a more coherent
force in the New Kingdom, a hierarchy was structured. 
At the head was the Chief of the Medjay, meaning
the Chief of Police, and under him were his
deputies. Then each region would have police captains. 
In the more remote areas, such as on the borders, 
the military would take care of the policing duties.

Glassmaking.
It is believed that the Egyptians were among the
first to use glass in their art and culture. As far back
as 2500 BC, amulets and solid glass beads were
made in Mesopotamia. ... Glass is produced from
a mixture of silica-sand, lime and soda.

Surgical instruments.
Ancient Egyptian engraving depicting medical 
instruments, including bone saws, suction cups, 
knives and scalpels, retractors, scales, lances, 
chisels and dental tools.



We are learning about our history and the change in
tools and technology. we have learned about the stone
age and now we have moved onto ancient Egypt. the biggest 
change I have come across is how they treated 
others and the laws they enforced and how they acted.

Stone age // SOCIAL STUDIES

Humans have created art for thousands of years. Some of the earliest
examples of art were made during the Stone Age. ... Early humans used
natural materials like stone, ivory and bone for small Venus figurines. 
And they made paints from natural pigments like iron oxide to create 
scenes of animals on walls deep in caves.

The Stone Age lasted from 30,000 BCE to about 3,000 BCE and is
named after the main technological tool developed at that time: stone. 
It ended with the advent of the Bronze Age and Iron Age . ... The art 
of the Stone Age represents the first accomplishments in human 
creativity, preceding the invention of writing.

This is an example of stone-age artwork we have 
done in our class.

This is not my Artwork. Mine was a story that 
was told like this:
Man Hunts food in the day. He catches wild animals
with a bow and arrow, during nighttime
man and woman gather around fire and dance. 

For my story I used my hands and a stick.

The life of Tragedy Johnson

It was just another polluted day in Britain and I woke at 5:00 am knowing, Today is the day. I am a Royal 4th in line. But that's not my style but since it is what it is then I shall do as I am told. As if I don't my father will beat me. I have disobeyed him multiple time before and all the while he still found out about me moving away so yesterday night he beat the living daylights out of me I'm pretty sure Canada could hear me scream. So I got out of bed packed my suitcase and got my money for the boat.

I was promised a beautiful land with a better lifestyle than my own it is for a faraway land. “New Zealand” though I didn't mean to I said it out loud. I have to bring my worst outfit for when we get there but my best for on the ship. As I am headed out the door a guard stopped me “ Mornin’ miss where ya’ headed” I simply reply “ A friends for the night, Goodbye” and I headed on my way.

I got to the boat and I saw tones of poor people trying to get away from here. Can't say I blame them though, its crowded, polluted and children get killed at work as chimney sweepers. So I get my ticket for Cabin as it was £15 and I was lucky to get a nice room on the ship ~this ship was the Randolph~ On board I met a lovely girl my age. ~I am thirteen, by the way, ~ We talked for a while she said her name was Mary and I replied with my name is Tragedy. We talked for even longer and I found out she was staying in steerage and it was crowded. I felt bad so I let her stay in my cabin with me.

We were about halfway in the middle of the sea when a storm hits but it didn't affect us in the cabin as we had fresh meat and fresh water. And having Mary here made me feel better about home. I was feeling homesick and she comforted me with stories her mother told her. It was warm knowing that my life was at another beginning with a new friend. The way it was Mary and I got really close. We spent a lot of time on the top deck just overlooking the ocean and watching whales and dolphins swim by us watching plays and concerts. Even the meals were nicer with her.

As we saw land I asked one crew member what day it was. He replied with “15 of December miss 1850 one more day and we will arrive”. So I went back to my cabin with mary who had a cold. So I put mary to bed and walked out of the room and went to eat some food. As I went to bed that same night I was startled to see someone walk out of my room in black then he just vanished. So I thought I was tired and hallucinating. I went to bed on the floor that night.


The next day I awoke by the horn of the ship blaring in my ears. As I looked to check on Mary she was pale and her chest was not moving so I checked her pulse and I couldn't find one. I sat on the bed and cradled her head crying for two hours until the ship was clearing out and someone came to get me. This male looked two years older than me and he was pretty handsome. I asked his name while still shaking and in tears. He replied calmly “Dexter Miss” then he asked who the girl I was cradiling was. When I answered he broke down in tears and answered: “Mary is my sister I got her a ticket hoping she would make it to New Zealand.”


As I walked off the ship still crying, Dexter walked up to me hugged me then walked me to the other boats which had other British people on the ships the had names imprinted in to the starboard, “Charlotte Jane and James Edward Fitzgerald” he had said his father and mother were on the Charlotte Jane ship.


After about 2 months after living here I'm sad to say I can't live on my own so I am going to jump off the cliff into the Lyttelton harbour I know people say it is beautiful and it is but when Mary died my life went downhill fast so I am saying goodbye and going to live with mary forever in heaven. So goodbye Beautiful New Zealand and Polluted Britain. FOREVER.

Social Studies

In Social Studies, my group and I are working on human rights. We have learnt so many new things, for example, there are that many human rights no one can remember all of them.

The most interesting thing I learned, was that one person's word can change how people treat others as an influence. Our work is about human rights and how it impacts us. It links to our story we are reading in class, the story of Iqbal.
