One technological development that ancient Egyptians used were spells. If there was an ill person that had no reason for an illnesses they would use these spells to help cure them. Doctors and priests believed that unknown illnesses were caused by spiritual beings. So when somebody could not tell the person why they a had a disease, a magical potion or spells were used. An example of a spell was, "These words are to b spoken over the sick person. 'O Spirit, male of female, who lurks hidden in my flesh and in my limbs, get out of my flesh. Get out of my limbs!" Another example of a spell was, "Come! You who drives out evil things from my stomach and my libs. He who drinks this shall be cured just as the gods above were cured." This was important because it cured the sick people.
A second technological development that ancient Egyptians made was the stone circles. I showed that the Egyptians already developed a calendar. The stone circle shows that Egyptians were accomplished at marking time end. So they could predict when the floods were coming and that was very important because they would know to put everything awhile and to prepare before it.
A third technological development that the ancient Egyptians developed was the system of constellations. it appeared to be the native origin and independent from the work of Greeks and Mesopotamians.
A fourth theological development that ancient Egyptians invented was the calendar, they knew that a year was about 365 days, a year had 12 months, and each month consisted of about 30 days each. They had 5 ceremonial days, intercalary days, that were called Epagomenal days that were added. Having a calendar was important so the could keep track of the days and to remember things.
A fifth theological development that ancient Egyptians created was Hieroglyphs, it was a form of writing. They used it to write stories, explain situations, and solve mathematical problems. 1000 glyphs, 400 Egyptian words examples, and 500 hieroglyphs from the Gardiner lost. They used different symbols to write names and secret messages, then they would print them onto a piece of paper. This was an important invention because it helped Egyptians to communicate with others.
I believe that the spells were the most important because it would cure people and make them healthy, then the calendar so people could keep track and remember the days, then hieroglyphs because it was there from of writing to communicate, then I think the stone circle because it would save a lot of people personal belongings because they would know to prepare for the flood before it came,  I important is the constellations invention.
