Some
of the wonders of the Great Pyramid "Khufu"
The mathematician "John Taylor"
says: The ancient Egyptians knew the approximate ratio (pi) and we found it
represented in the formative forms of the pyramid, if we divide the perimeter
of the pyramid by its height, we find (pi) =3.14, as well as the perimeter of
the king room by its height =3.14.
It was also known that the weight of the earth
is the weight of the Great Pyramid 100 million times.
It was also discovered that the location of
the pyramid lies in the center of gravity of the continents, that is, at the
intersection of latitude 30 with longitude 30.
Astronomer "Howard Weiss" says in
1837: If one of you stood beneath the descending corridor inside the pyramid
and looked through the original aperture as if looking through a telescope, you
would see "Sirius star" appear just before sunrise, in just one day
of the year.
Thus, the ancient Egyptians determined the beginning of the solar year, which we are still following this until now.
· A glimpse of the mathematical and physical sciences in ancient Egypt
The ancient Egyptians knew the beginning of
the decimal count and knew the fractions, and they put units for distance,
capacity, and mass, and they knew abstraction and geometric sequences, and they
had a tidy mentality and scientific methodology.
· A
glimpse of rocks throughout the history of ancient Egypt
They set up the oldest dam in the world and is
the dam of Helwan, and the Rosetta Stone is from granodiorite stone and not
basalt.
· A glimpse of the plant in ancient Egypt
· A glimpse of chemistry in ancient Egypt
The word "chemistry" is from
"Kimi" and it is one of the names of Egypt, the ancient Egyptians
knew gold, iron, bronze, and copper, and they also knew the manufacture of
stained glass (blue) by adding "cobalt" from "Iran and Armenia"
to the molten glass.
· A glimpse of medicine in ancient Egypt
Anise "an ancient Egyptian plant" has
an important therapeutic position in ancient Egypt, and "Amenhotep"
was the first doctor thousands of years before "Hippocrates", They
had ambulance ships, as they knew orthopedic surgeries, amputation under the
knee, artificial limbs.
As for obstetrics and gynecology, they treated
menstrual disorders, and they diagnosed cervical and breast cancer, also they
were skilled in the art of obstetrics and family planning.
They also knew the local and general
anesthetic, and the various surgical machines, In addition to they used the
penicillin by put the moldy bread pulp in the festering wounds, as they knew
dozens of drugs of plant, animal, or chemical origin.
· They also knew the calendars and time measurement
The evidence of this is the Papyri of
"Lahun", and Pyramid Texts, and the sunrise on the face of the
"Ramsses II".
· Ancient Egyptians knew many industries, including:
The
manufacture of medicine, leather tanning, and the art of mummification, and
many others.

Spherical
Earth
Ancient Egypt has known "Spherical
Earth" and even calculated its circumference, Where there is in one of the
papyrus that the sun appears perpendicular on June 21 at noon every year on the
city of Syene "Aswan", and
the obelisk is casting no shadow, while at the same moment at noon on June 21
in "Alexandria" the obelisk has a shadow, the shadow measure is 7
degrees, according to Egyptian scientists, the number of steps from
"Aswan" to "Alexandria" was equal to 800 kilometers in
our calculations now, and because they were knowing the laws of the circle,
which they called the sky geometry, they were able to calculate Earth's
circumference 40,000 kilometers, with a
mistake difference not mention with our calculations now.
All
these things indicates the
genius of the ancient Egyptians, "Champollion" said: The imagination
crumbles and falls motionless under the feet of the ancient Egyptian
civilization.
