Archaeologists were surprised by the amazing discoveries about what the ancient Egyptians did in the past.
Formed thousands of years ago, the ancient Egyptian civilization is said to be one of the most brilliantly developed ancient civilizations in history.
Many people think that the ancient Egyptians had a strange and quite “ancient” life, but the following archaeological findings will make you think again.
Some evidence indicates that the ancient Egyptians produced toothpaste as early as 5,000 BC.
Accordingly, this compound consists of different ingredients – such as burnt eggshells, pumice. All are mixed together to create a perfect teeth whitening powder. However, they still do not know exactly how much is mixed.
The ancient Egyptians possessed a very precise and varied amount of medicinal knowledge. Scientists have examined the mummy and discovered traces of some highly difficult surgeries such as heart surgery, organ transplantation, even plastic surgery…
Unfortunately, these records have all been lost, so we do not know exactly how the doctor at that time did it.
Eye infections were quite common among the ancient Egyptians. And scientists discovered, the ancients applied many different (sometimes very strange) treatment methods such as antibacterial paints and remedies made from… human brain.
Specifically, they divided the brain into 2 parts, mixed the first half with honey, applied to the eyes at night, the second half left to dry and used in the morning. Scientists still don’t know what this “drug” really does.
Archaeologists have found many metal beads in an ancient tomb. However, it is strange that molten iron only appeared in ancient Egypt 2,000 years ago.
So the question is where did that metal particle come from? And finally, archaeologists have the answer. Accordingly, they discovered that there are hieroglyphs meaning iron – called “metal from the sky”. Therefore, scientists speculate that this iron is distilled from meteorites.
The first locks were made in Egypt around 4,000 BC. Basically, a lock has a hollow key in the door that is connected to the latch and can only be opened by using the key to turn the latch and remove it from the key.
However, the disadvantage of the locks invented by the ancient Egyptians is their large size, with locks up to 0.6m long.
In a settlement in Narmoutheos, 90km south of Cairo (Egypt), archaeologists discovered a room containing what looked like a car lane and balls of all sizes.
The lane is 3.9 meters long, 20cm wide and 9.6cm deep. The balls all have a square hole in the center 11.9 cm wide – reminiscent of bowling today.
According to archaeological sources found, scientists discovered the world’s first police force was established in the Middle Ages (year 2050-1800 BC), consisting of the most loyal warriors and mercenaries of the country. outside.
In addition, the “assistant” policemen in ancient Egypt were dogs and monkeys. They guarded the temples and town squares, similar to the duties of the police today.
