__**Ancient Egyptian inventions**__

There are many ancient Egyptian technology that revolutionized the world and some of these inventions are still here and is being used in every day life. Without the Egyptians we wouldn't be able to lock our homes, write with ink and the list goes on and on!

**The Invention of Make up** The Egyptians traveled in style with the invention of make up! Not only do the rich people get to wear make up but so do the lower class people. Make up was essential in Egyptian culture, but they didn't wear make up just because it looked good but was also used to get rid of bad sprites like the "evil eye" which will give you sickness and bad luck"Galena" an ingredient in make up is a disinfectant and also gives your protection from the harsh, intense sun. Make up was mainly applied around the eye and was applied in a shaped of an almond. Make up for Egyptians weren't a choice but an necessity. Women today use a wide range of make up including eye shadow, eyeliner, blusher lipstick and lot's more! 

**The Invention of Medicine** The Egyptians were good at figuring out the human anatomy and knew exactly where every internal organ is. Medicine was incredibly useful because people can access it if they were sick and they had a chance to be cured. Research shows that the ancient Egyptians treated dislocated bones and minor surgical procedures. Most of the treatment consist to crushed and mixed herbs. Today there are medicines for just about any sickness and the technology of medicine still goes on, trying to find more cures for sicknesses like type 2 diabetes. I think the research of medicines will go on throughout century's. 



**The Invention of mummification** Mummification was not always practiced when a body has deceased. This is because some the poorer people couldn't afford tombs so they were buried in shallow graves on the hot and dry sand. Since to ground is so dry the environment normally mummify the body without additives. For the people who are rich enough to afford tombs, had to go though rituals which include making monuments of themselves and prayers in honer of the deceased. Although mummifying the deceased is out dated it is still very interesting to find out how the ancient Egyptians practice there rituals and prayers to pay respect to the deceased.

**The Invention black ink** If it wasn't for the Egyptian who invented ink, we wouldn't be able to write on paper. The ingredients that make up black ink is soot, gelatin, gum and bees wax. To form other colors of ink they mixed in other organic ingredients for example to make red ink you add red ocher instead of soot with is black.   Evidence shows that these inks were used in ancient manuscripts and is still very clear and legible. As for many ancient Egyptian invention's, there was no record of who invented these inventions. Nowadays we have a endless range of pen with different colors and <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">different uses.
