Science in Ancient Egypt by Geraldine Woods

Ancient Egyptians didn’t just make mummies--they were quite advanced in many areas of science and technology. This book takes a look at what they knew about math, astronomy, pyramid building, medicine, agriculture, and metalwork, among other things. The ancient Greeks learned a lot from the Egyptians--they knew more than you might think!
