For our blog today we have to write down five technological inventions we thought were important and why.

1. Ancient Egyptian Writing- This was one of the most important things. They started with drawing pictures on the inside of caves, and then eventually hieroglyphics. These were just like letter s and words. Without the Egyptians we would have letters or words.

2. The Calender- We wouldn't know when anything was or what day it was without the calender. Back when the Egyptians made the calender they used it to know when the Nile was going to flood every year, and for other things like that. Today we use a calender to know what day it is, and to know when things are.

3. Eye makeup- The Egyptians wore eye makeup like we wear sunglasses. Both men and women wore Eye makeup. This makeup helped keep the sin out of their eyes while working outside. Furthermore, we still use eye makeup today!

4. The door lock- Believe it or not the Egyptian are the ones who invented the door lock. When they invented the door lock it was with a key to unlock and lock the door. Furthermore, now all we have to do is turn the lock on the door to lock it. However, who would have know it was from the Egyptians.

5. Haircut and Shaving- Back then they thought hair was nasty and dirty, so they used to cut it off. In ancient Egyptian time having short hair and shaving was fashionable. I couldn't imagine people now a days not being able to shave or get their haircut regularly.
