Did the Egyptians use knotted ropes to measure?
YES!
Why did ancient Egyptians call their country the black land?
Well, at the moment, the controversy about people claiming that the Ancient Egyptians were black which is false, is why some people may think that the Egyptians called their country the black land. But that is not the reason, as they were not black. The Ancient Egyptians called their land Kemet, which means black land. The soil at the banks of Nile was very dark in colour, and the soil was of great importance, since the country was mostly desert. Because the soil was dark, the Ancient Egyptians thought of their country as a dark, or black land, because of the land colour around the river.
What mathematical contributions did egyptians make to civilization?
Egyptians were the first to use geometry. After the Nile river flooded and washed away many of the boundaries between tracts of land, they used geometry and the remaining reference points (like hilltops or big rocks that were not moved by the flood) to re-establish the tracts of land.
What did the Ancient Egyptians call themselves?
The Ancient Egyptians referred to themselves as "Kemet" or "Kemetic," which means "black land" in reference to the fertile black soil along the Nile River. This term distinguished them from neighboring civilizations and highlighted the importance of the Nile in their lives. The Ancient Egyptians also referred to their land as "Ta-Meri," which means "beloved land" or "land of the friend."
How did egyptians farm their land?
they used the nile to water it when it floods.
