Technological Inventions and the Egyptian Pyramids

Name and describe three technological innovations or inventions of the ancient Egyptians:
One of the technological inventions for the ancient Egyptians was hieroglyphics, which were small pictures drawn on Papyrus (their paper.) this is a piece of history.Another invention was the 365 day calendar which was created to make better sense of the seasonal cycles. Along with these two inventions, the Egyptians created an irrigation system for the Nile because it flooded every July. 

Describe three important features of the Egyptian pyramids:

An important feature of the Egyptian pyramids had to be the marble which made the pyramid kind of sacred. Another feature of the pyramids was that they were often portrayed with a animal body and a human head which made it special. Along with these two features, the age of these ancient Egyptian pyramids is magnificent, because The Great Sphinx of Giza is still standing today even though it is 4,500 years old!
