The ancient Egyptian civilization made significant advances in fields like astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and agriculture. Astronomy, mathematics, and geometry were important parts of life in ancient Africa. Mathematical concepts were demonstrated in artifacts like the Lebombo and Ishango bones dating back 35,000-20,000 BCE. Medicine in ancient Egypt was also highly advanced for its time, including non-invasive surgery, bone setting, dentistry, and pharmacopoeia. Metallurgy was important for tools and architecture, while agriculture relied on irrigation systems, dams, and plant propagation techniques. Overall, the document outlines that science emerged in Africa long before European colonization, as demonstrated by the earliest stone tools and advances made by ancient Egyptian civilization

4. Africa is blessed with natural and minearal
resources, science emerged in this part of the
planet long before Europeans colonized it.
Africa has the world’s oldest record of human
technological achievement; the oldest stone
tools in the world.

7.  The ancient Egyptian civilization has
contributed immensely and made significant
advance in fields of astrononmy, mathematics,
medicine and agriculture.
 Astrnomy
Was famous in the African region. They used 3
types of calendar:

8. Lunar calendar

9. Solar calendar

10. Stellar calendar

11. Mathematics
 Was also known to be prominent in the life of
early people in the African continent.
 Lebombo bones(35,000 BCE)
 Ishango bones(18,000-20,000 BCE)

12. Lebombo bones

13. Ishango bones

14. Baboons

15. Geometry
Development was a product of necessity to
preserved the layout the ownership of farmlands
in Egypt as well as building their homes and
their cities and other structures

18. MEDICINE
 Ancient egyptian’s is some of the oldest
documented in terms of medicine.
 Egyptian’s medieval practice went largely
unchanged but has highly advanced for its
time including non-invasive surgery, setting of
bones, dentistry and an extensive set of
pharmacopoeia

19. ODLEST EGYPTIAN MEDICAL
INSTRUMENT

20.  Egyptian have some knowledge of human
anatomy.
 Mummification

21. METALLURGY
 They invented metal tools used in their homes
in agriculture and in building their magnificent
architecture's.
 It is distinguished from the craft of metal
works.

22. METAL WORKS

24. Agriculture
 Crude sticks were probably the first tillage
tools used to establish crops by planting the
vegetative parts of plants, including stem
sections, roots and tubers.
 They built irrigation system, dams, and plant
propagation
