Step 1: Plan of Investigation This investigation attempts to answer the question how technology impacted ancient Egypt. This question is relevant and important because Egypt’s ancient technology is important and should be understood. The issues that will be addressed are analyzing how this technology effected the Egypt’s ancient world. The parameters of this investigation will be as broad as focusing on several aspects of technology, such as structures and construction, agriculture and irrigation, ship building, and some other developments. This investigation will focus on the …show more content…
For both agricultural and irrigation construction, the ancient Egyptians used the rising and setting of stars to find true N, E, S, W. The builders also used the level surface of water for construction sighting, to build a level product. The ancient Egyptians used canals, dams, weirs, and reservoirs for the control and distribution of water, these methods originated in Egypt. King Menes ordered for an irrigation project to be constructed. This project ordered for damming rivers and digging canals to move and control water. When land is irrigated it produces twice as much crop. Egypt started irrigating land along the Nile around 5000 BC. In another project, a 12 mile long canal was dug. This canal ran from the Nile to Lake Moeris, where water was stored for yearlong use. When the Nile flooded the water moved from the flooded Nile to Lake Moeris where it was stored. The Egyptians were capable of building giant dams. One built around 2500 BC, constructed on the Nile, supplied water to the quarry of south Cairo. This dam was 40 feet high, 78 feet thick at the base, and close to 350 feet long. After analyzing the previous text, Ancient Egypt had many different technological applications to irrigation and agriculture, which greatly impacted and benefited Ancient
