Ancient Egyptians were the real civilization without which modern culture would be not such full. The people inhabiting the country had own writing and the decimal system of calculation and also knew other "novelties" of that time which delivered Ancient Egyptian culture above many to it previous.

1. The first glass which before is not found at other people was found in Ancient Egypt. If more precisely, then it was vitreous material which is known as the Egyptian faience made of silicon dioxide, lime and soda with addition of copper dye now. Residents of Ancient Egypt used this faience during creation of beads, figurines, tiles and also sets of other products.
2. Great progress was made by ancient Egyptians and regarding inventions in the sphere of shipbuilding. So in the 3000th year B.C. residents of the country knew how qualitatively to collect wooden boards to the strong and durable ship building. According to data of the American archaeological institute, the most ancient dug-out ships with of 23 meters are known as "the boat from Abydos". They were literally sewed from separate wooden boards with use of papyrus and a grass.
3. The modern civilization is obliged to ancient Egyptians by the very first mathematical texts relating to the beginning of the second millennium B.C. The mathematics of Ancient Egypt was actively applied in other spheres – astronomies, a zemlemeriya, construction, navigation, construction of military strengthenings. Unfortunately, such texts remained quite a little as scientists then wrote on papyruses which badly transfer moisture and other negative impacts. The decimal system of calculations in Ancient Egypt was expressed in use in writing of special signs for designation dozens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, hundred thousand and even one million. For the rest, of course, residents of the country used quite primitive criteria - a finger, a palm, a foot and an elbow. But you should not forget that they were used further for measurements in art anatomy.
4. Ancient Egyptians also seriously developed the astronomical doctrine as very often watched heavenly bodies, their movement and return to the places to a certain season. The feather of Ancient Egyptian scientists possesses creation of the first star chart with Big and Little Dipper, the Pole star, constellations of Orion and Sirius. Residents of the country also invented the first astronomical tools allowing the observer to trace provisions of heavenly objects. Further this knowledge was adopted by ancient Greeks, and then and Romans: archeologists found similar cards on walls and ceilings of temples of Edfu and Dender.
