The earliest beds were shallow crest in which the bed was placed. Ropes stretched across the woodwork to add a soft basis.
4. The merkhet was to establish a north-south line by lining them with the pole star. They were used to mark-off the nighttime hours by determining when other stars crossed the meridian. This helped the Egyptians because it helped them to realize how much nighttime there would be.
3. The Egyptians invented the first disposable tampons from softened papyrus. These helped women to stop their period from just coming out. This made the Egyptian women feel more comfortable when going out to places during their period day(s). Although the Greeks invented the first tampon, it was not disposable.
2. The Pyramids were a huge invention for the Egyptians. The Great Pyramids aligned with the cardinal points so it would tell them when to begin planting in the spring. The Great Pyramid of Giza had a significant effect on astronomy and astronomers. This helped the people understand the change of seasons and important times of the year.
1. In Ancient Egypt the treatment of illnesses was carried out by doctors or physicians. Their knowledge was based on an increasing knowledge of the human anatomy and plain commonsense. This helped the Egyptians because they got the right treatment most of the time if they had an illness. The physicians wrote on papyrus their knowledge on the organs and ways to treat people with certain diseases and dead bodies.
