I heard it helps to write it down… Hieroglyphics – picture writing used to keep
track of important information Carved on stone, preserved for thousands of
years Pictograms that depicted objects, carved
onto monuments, temples Written language became more complex
Ideograms – pictures that symbolized an idea or action

Keep writing…
Scribes developed demotic – simpler form of writing
Papyrus was usedPaper not used until 100 AD in China
Much easier to use than chiseling into stone
Official histories still carved onto stone for preservation purposes

Uhh, can you decipher that for me??? New Kingdom went into decline,
Egyptians forgot what hieroglyphs meant
1800s French scholar, Jean Champollion decoded the Rosetta StoneFlat, black stone has same message
carved into 3 different forms of script• Hieroglyphics, demotic, Greek
Now historians could read Egyptian history

Advances Believed in many forms of magic
Learned a great deal about the human body through mummifying
Observed symptoms, diagnosed, found cures, performed surgeries
• Anise, castor beans, saffron (still used today) Calendar – 12 months, 30 days, 5 days added on at
end of each year Became basis for our calendar (with minor changes)
Developed geometry for surveying land, calculate exact size and location of each block of stone to be placed in a pyramid or temple
Many advances in statues, paintings, poems, and tales Drawings – stiff, standard poses, heads/limbs in profile,
eyes/shoulders facing viewer

What’s wrong here…
The vizier, who was seen as a god as well as a king, was linked closely to the chief god Isis.
Amon-Re!

What’s wrong here…
Only the nobles believed in the afterlife.
All Egyptians, from nobles to peasants, believed in the afterlife.

What’s wrong here…
Egyptian civilization was basically a classless society.
Like other early civilizations, Egypt had a fairly rigid class system.

What’s wrong here…
Like women in most of the ancient world, Egyptian women were held in low status and had very little independence.
Egyptian women generally enjoyed a higher status and greater independence than women in the rest of the ancient world.

What’s wrong here…
Priests and scribes used a form of picture writing called papyrus to keep track of unimportant information.
Hieroglyphics, important writing!

What’s wrong here…
Egyptians made very few advances in learning and the arts.
Great advances in medicine, astronomy, math, painting, and sculpture!
