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.

I was just curious about what their inventions actually were.
Paper and sails, 2 of the top 20 inventions. What do I win?

Yes, yesterday he said that Africans were too stupid at large to have come up with the wheel. I'm honestly shocked he wasn't banned.

They were also the first land surveyors.

I do think that the egyptians were maybe the shittiest of the ancient civilizations.
But at least they didnt die out like the sumerians. Of course the sumerians were basically surrounded by enemies constantly attacking them. Not that the egyptians didnt have their challenges with other cultures, but still the sumerians were in the heart of it all.
I mean shite, like 10000 years later and that area of the world is still fricked and constantly warring

Not too many songs have the name Serengeti in them. And NONE that don't sound rushed.

They built a structure which would stand as the world's tallest for over 5000 years.
They created one of the oldest and most comprehensive writing systems in history.
Much of the Greek's knowledge of mathematics and chemistry construction actually came from Egypt.
They invented the column.
They created some of the oldest, largest, and most perfect statues on earth.
They most likely invented beer.
They invented monotheism.
They may have discovered Australia thousands of years before Europeans.
Oh, and the Hyksos were Jews, now Arabs.

Technically, some of the Pharaohs were black. At least one ruling dynasty were conquering Nubian kings.

It's hard to say what all of their contributions were, considering Rome burned down the Library of Alexandria. There's a good chance the Romans get credit for things the Egyptians did.

Pretty much started this society you speak of.

this thread got this far and no one mentioned that the egyptionans invented beer? about 3000 B.C.

calendar, timepieces, papyrus,
ways to tell and document the passage of time in micro and macro terms, the precursor that would lead to paper, the concept of libraries, and surveying seems like a pretty fair contribution for people who lived several thousand years ago.

Wern't a majority of the contents of library of Alexandria burned in 48 BC?
I'm pretty sure a lot their knowledge and culture has been lost over time
