Bearing in mind the information and evidence that has been collected from Egyptian inscriptions, manuscripts, wall paintings/murals, tomb inscriptions, and artifacts; we can state that ancient Egyptians had a great command of science and were pretty interested in fields such as:
Engineering & construction, agriculture & architecture, mathematics & astronomy, and medicine & dentistry.
Engineering & Construction: we can see nowadays that ancient Egyptians masters these fields pretty well due to the great temples and pyramids they built many years ago and they remain still.
Agriculture & Architecture: Egyptians were mainly an agricultural culture, and due to their dependence on their crops and livestock, they were naturally interested in developing inventions for making it easier for them to cultivate their land. And example of this is the ox-drawn plow.
Mathematics & Astronomy: Astronomy was important for this culture because of two main reasons. The first one was spiritual and the second one practical. From Egyptians' perspective, the stars told the gods' stories about their accomplishments but also they show the passage of time and the seasons. And in terms of mathematics it has been found that philosophers such as Plato and Pythagoras studied this field in Egypt, due to the importance and quality of the knowledge that was offered there.
Medicine & Dentistry: Nowadays there are 3 well known Egyptian works related with these fields which evidence this culture had a significant degree of medical knowledge. The names of these works are <em>Ebers papyrus, Edwin Smith Papyrus, </em>and the London medical papyrus. Within the pages of these works, it has been found ancient Egyptians treated ailments such as cancer, traumas, depression, heart diseases, dermatology among many others.
