re: What did the Egyptians contribute to society?

The aqueduct was a Roman invention.

Well they introduced the concept of benefiting from slave labor, improved irrigation techniques for agriculture, created bowling, and improved methods of brewing beer.

Albert Einstein stole the theory of special relativity from a 14 year old black kid.

Hebrews did live in Egypt. Some of them integrated into Egyptian society, including an Egyptian government official whose tomb has been discovered and who may have been the historical basis for the Biblical Joseph. But the Exodus story in the Bible is mostly or entirely legend.

They contributed civilization. The building of the pyramids of Giza was further removed from Augustus Caesar than Augustus Caesar is from us. They aren't the oldest civilization in the world, but they are amongst that crowd. They are the building blocks of all this. Of course their contributions are going to be rudimentary. These are things like the foundations of writing, agriculture, and architecture. They are so old that many of their contributions have simply been lost to time.

To depict The Pyramids as useless reveals much about your disdain for Egyptian culture.

Pyramids are not primarily monuments they are machines too sophisticated for "modern science" to understand.

I'm just sayin...

They had red hair. Not African

Just to let y'all know, this guy is a racist a-hole who thinks Africans didn't think of the wheel before 1900. That's the guy y'all are dealing with and just wants to say that Africans are genetically inferior. I'm shocked he wasn't given the ban hammer last night.
