A. Name and describe three technological innovations or inventions of the ancient Egyptians.
Three technological innovations or inventions in ancient Egypt were irrigation, pyramids, and sailboats. The ancient Egyptians created irrigation by the waters from the flood. They would make the waters go through tubes to crop fields farther away. Next were the pyramids, they made pyramids because of places to worship gods and put pharaohs and royalty to rest. Also there were sailboats, they made sailboats for travel on the Nile to expand trading.
B.Describe three important features of the Egyptian pyramids.
Three important features of the pyramids were the long trap hallways, one hidden door, and their uniqueness. The long trap hallways kept the burglars from finding the tomb and treasures. Also the one hidden door kept the burglars out and only a hand-full of people who made the pyramid knew where the door was. Each pyramid was different, none were the same. These pyramids were built hundreds of years apart so they wouldn't be the same because the people who built the one before were dead.
