Paggawang papel (papyrus)

Papyrus is a thick paper-like material produced from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge that was once abundant in the Nile Delta of Egypt. Stylus

A stylus is a writing utensil, or a small tool for some other form of marking or shaping, for example in pottery. Sinaunang kalendaryo Blending time derived from the motions of the rotating earth, the earth revolving around the sun, and the moon's passage as the earth's satellite is hard enough, but the Mayans had 17 cosmological calendars, some of which go back ten million years and require the services of astronomers, astrologers, geologists, and mathematicians

to figure out. Introduction to Mayan Calendar Terminology provides simplified information on some of the cycles and glyphs used in the Mayan calendars.

Pyramids A pyramid is a structure where the outer surfaces are triangular and converge at a point. The base of a pyramid can be trilateral, quadrilateral, or any polygon shape, meaning that a pyramid has at least three triangular surfaces (at least four faces including the base). The square pyramid, with square base and four triangular outer surfaces, is a common version.

Geometry "Earth-measuring" is a part of mathematics concerned with questions of size, shape, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences. Initially a body of practical knowledge concerning lengths, areas, and volumes, in the 3rd century BC geometry was put into an Formby Euclid, whose treatment Euclidean geometryset a standard for many centuries to follow. The field of astronomy, especially mapping the positions of the stars and planets on the celestial sphere and describing the relationship between movements of celestial bodies, served as an important source of geometric problems during the next one and a half millennia. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.

The Shadoof This is the oldest and simplest method of raising water using a leather bucket hooked onto a long pole which is attached to a wooden arm with a counter-balanced weight on the end. This method can raise water from 2 to 5 meters. When the level of the Nile was low several shadoofs were used in tandem to raise water for crop irrigation. The earliest Egyptian reference to this comes from a seal cylinder dating back to 2,500 BC depicting a shadoof, which can be seen in the Louvre, Paris. It is thought that the shadoof originated in India; it certainly existed in early times in Babylon.

The Pit Loom

Weaving has a long tradition in Egypt going back as far as 6,000BC during which time methods have changed enormously. This simple pit loom is the kind that is frequently found in farms and villages operated by men and women who make carpets, chair covers, shawls, blankets and bed covers; yes, it's quite cold at night in the winter months! The weaver sits with his or her legs in the pit where there are two pedals which open the warp threads allowing the weft shuttle to pass through freely. This type of loom leaves the weavers' hands free to pass the weft shuttle through from side to side and to compress the weaving as they go.

Mummification Removal of internal organs is an important process in mummification as they are the first to decay after death

Hieroglyphics Egyptian hieroglyphs were a formal writing system used by the ancient that contained a combination of logographic and alphabetic elements. Egyptians used cursive hieroglyphs for religious literature on papyrus and wood. Less formal variations of the script called hieratic and demotic, are technically not hieroglyphs.
