Remarkable event: Mathematics

Some of the most relevant and meaningful events that occurred during the Egyptian civilization were architecture, botany, zoology, astronomy, medicine and navy, all of these topics contribute to the develop of the humanity and also it serves to establish a base for specific science, that then people take it into account to study it more deeply. But the most wonderful science that Egyptian civilization developed was Mathematics and it had been significant since always because it is the center of the universe.

There is no doubt that Mathematics is the most remarkable contribution of Egyptians, but this is related in all the topics and daily situations making that relationships become to be calculated and also that people were measured for the things that they have, people lost their spontaneity to act, because nowadays people always think in numbers.

However mathematics is necessary in all the activities that people do, for examples in a family, people need to know how many members are they, to prepare dinner or a party. At the same time people need to count things to use this information from knowing how many times people need to eat, to the building of a bridge.
Also it is necessary to recognized that all the careers use a minimum level of mathematics, for example an Engineer needs to learn 4 different types of math, while a Doctor needs to know how many dosis is required according to the age of the patient.

Another aspect to consider is that mathematics is the base of many ancient theories, but also it is the base of new theories, for example the ones that are related with the global warming or with daily topics, for example the food crisis, so people can use math to predict how many people are going to be affected because of this, and also they can make many predictions.

Therefore mathematics is the meaningful event that changes the history of humanity because nowadays all the people use it and many people create a lot of things using math, because we consider that this science is a need.

Egyptian Rituals


The activities that are related to rituals are continually changing because of the culture and the global evolution, for example nowadays we don’t see rituals very often.

One of the most significant rituals for Egyptians was the transformation of images into human figures; this ritual was known as the ritual of opening the mouth and the eyes. Ancient Egyptians practiced this ritual in statues, mommies, coffins, and in front of the tombs. The Egyptians touched the mouth of mommies and statues with tools to give life to the spirits, giving in this way the possibility of breath, eat, drink and see. But exactly the goal of this ritual was to make born the statue to give it life because of that, they use different kind of tools that people used in the birth of kids. When the Egyptians practiced this ritual they wrote the name of the person that manages the ceremony and the names of the instruments that they used.

Also they practiced a ritual for death people, because they believed in life after death and also they thought that the soul traveled further in because when someone die they conserved the body with the process of mummification, but this process only applied for rich people and pharaohs, this process started 2 or 3 days after death during 70 days and is one of the most remembered rituals of Egyptian people and also it is an icon to identify and to relate Egyptians.

Rituals are very relevant for ancient cultures because they established the difference from each other, and also rituals could be the point to recognize a specific civilization.
