Ancient Egyptian Inventions

The Ancient Egyptians are famous for doing many things, mummifying, the pyramids and other things like that. But one thing they also did was invent. They invented some of the most amazing things, here's some:

Surgical Instruments: One of the parts of the mummification process is removing the internal organs. To do this the Egyptians invented tools that they used to cleanly (sort of) remove the organs and stitch them back up

Police: The Egyptians had many nobles living at the time, as well as pharaohs. So to protect them and their prized possessions, they invented policing forces to stand guard and keep order

Irrigation: The Egyptians had a lot of people to feed. So, as a result, they had large farms. To water those farms, they dug large canals to feed water to their crops. They would build their farms next to the River Nile so that when the river burst its banks (as it did everyyear), it would enrich the soil with water and then they would start farming. Sort of like a large automatic farm in Minecraft. Some people still use systems like this today, even in modern Egypt

Pyramids: Like I mentioned before, the Ancient Egyptians built pyramids. These were used to bury the fallen kings and their noblemen, such as advisors and all-round rich people. They were very large an had lots of chambers to house all their gold and jewels
