One study being conducted by researchers the world about the state of Egypt is the Ancient Egyptian civilization. The researchers believe ancient Egypt is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Ancient Egyptian civilization is in the northeastern part of Africa that is centered along the lower reaches of the Nile.

This civilization is believed to have evolved over more than three millennia and has reached the construction techniques of monuments such as the pyramids, temples, and obeliks, knowledge of mathematics, engineering treatment, and agricultural irrigation systems, the first ship, the technology of pottery and much more.

Even some relics of ancient Egyptian civilization has been the inspiration for many inventors to develop an invention, which until now could be useful for all people around the world.

Some relics of ancient Egypt that has Changing and Inspiring the World:

Writing language.

Egyptian writing system begins with a pictogram that was first created in 6000 BC. Pictogram simply describe the words they want to express though still limited. Over time, some added elements including characters such as the alphabet that represent sounds and other characters that make them able to write the name and abstract ideas.

In the end, these characters developed into hieroglyphics that combines alphabet, syllabic symbols, as well ideograms. Hieroglyphs is a combination logograf and alphabet. Comes from the year 3000 BC, hieroglyphic writing system is sdalah one of the oldest known to man.

Plow.

Historian actually could not confirm the origin from which the rover. Based on the existing relics, supposedly the Egyptians and Sumerians who first used the tool around the year 4000 BC. Plow when it is very mild and ineffective, unable to dig deep. Initially the rover using manpower, but it was changed in 2000 BC after the domestication of the bull by the Indus Valley Civilization.

Shaving and Hair Cut.

Allegedly because of the heat, the long hair and beard that makes people feel uncomfortable Ancient Egypt to maintain it. They are very diligent short cut and shave the hair on the head and face. In the end, the Egyptians created a razor sharp blade in the form of stone with wooden handles that would later evolve into the shaver blade of copper.

Strangely though they happy to shave, they like to wear a wig and a false beard made of shaving the hair and wool from sheep. The length of a false beard determined from the level position, the longer the more shows that he had important positions in the kingdom of Ancient Egypt.

Bowling.

Estimated to come from the second and third centuries AD, precisely at the time of the Roman occupation, the archaeologists found a room in which there trajectories and balls of various sizes. Trajectory in length 3.9 m, width 20 cm, depth 9.6 cm by 11.9 cm square hole in the center.

In contrast to the present, the Ancient Egyptians to direct the ball into the hole in the middle. His opponent was in the opposite direction and usually use a ball with different sizes in order to get rid of an opponent who has the ball in the middle.

Toothpaste and Toothbrush.

Just like today, the problem of bad breath resulting from poor dental health. The difference is, the Egyptians are not drinking soda or eating a lot of candy that can damage teeth, but rather a result of sand and gravel left on their bread flour milling effect of using rocks. Because eating this bread they erode tooth enamel and also cause an infection in the mouth. At that time they did not have a dentist so they have created a tool that can clean teeth.

In addition to the toothpick, they also created a toothbrush of branches. They also created a toothpaste that was originally made from flour nail ox, ash, burnt eggshells and pumice. Archaeologists discovered the recipe record toothpaste and brushing teeth guide written on papyrus paper comes from the fourth century AD during the Roman occupation. The author is not named also explains how to mix rock salt, mint, dried iris flower, and grains of pepper to be powder for white and perfect teeth.

Calendar.

For us the calendar is usually useful to know how today's date, date of appointment with the dentist or the date of birth of the people we care about. Ancient Egypt in the future, the calendar associated with the feast and famine.

Without calendar Egyptians would not know when the annual flooding of the Nile begins. With the calendar, the whole farming system they can avoid greater risks. Ancient Egyptian calendar divided into three seasons, namely flood (inundation), grow, and harvest.

Each season consists of four months each month consists of 30 days. Among the harvest season and the flood season, added five days of the day epagonal, in the form of a religious holiday to honor the Gods.

Papyrus paper.

The invention of paper in China in 140 BC was not the oldest. The Egyptians have made paper from papyrus approximately the year 3500 BC. In addition to paper, papyrus fibers are also used as mats, slippers, screen, and others.

Papyrus used for writing religious texts, literature to music. This paper spread from the Middle East to Europe so comes the word "paper" in English, "papier" in German, Dutch, and French, also "papel" in Spanish.

Lock doors.

Lock the door was first invented around 4000 BC. Originally made of vertical wooden keys consisting of several loose wood and pegs of different lengths. Is mounted pegs into the holes at the top of a wooden bolt, preventing the bolts to move and open the door.

Oblique slots are reserved for the long wooden keys with long pegs located on the surface and in accordance with the pegs in vertical pairs. When the key is inserted into the bolt and lifted, the pegs in the house evenly aligned at the top of the bolt, and allowed the door to be opened.

Mint candy.

If we feel less than fresh breath or feel bad breath, immediately we can stop by the supermarket or shop to buy candy Mentos or coolia. As discussed earlier, the Egyptians have problems with dental health because he had eaten bread.

And we should be grateful to the Ancient Egyptians, since it is they who first created a mint. To reduce bad breath due to oral and dental problems, it was created a mint which was originally a mixture of frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon and honey are boiled together and then formed into small dots.

Make up for Eyes.

As is often seen in the movies associated with Ancient Egypt, the Egyptian people that wear eye makeup is typical. Eye makeup is used not only for women, but men also wear them.

Eye makeup that still exists today is kohl. Kohl eyeliner of black powder is applied to the eye using the applicator from animal bones, stone, wood or thin plate-shaped silver.

Kohl used to darken the eyelids, eyebrows, and eyelashes. 

According to most ancient people, the beauty of women is measured by the beauty of eyes looked sharp, big and round. Thank you for reading this article.
