Walt: write a Egyptian contribution.
Egyptian contributions
One of the last contributions from the Egyptians was the 24 hours in a day. The Egyptians decan noticed breaks along the ecliptic and later discovered the night into 12 parts. Which obviously meant that there would be 24 parts in a day. The other contribution was the number of days in the calendar. The Egyptian already knew there was 360 days in a year. Later added 5 days for feasting, making a total of 365 days.
The Egyptians also contributed in the field of maths. They invented the numbers based in ten, which we use today. Geometry was very useful to the Egyptians when surveying. The also used fractions and and whole numbers to count.
