Ancient Egyptian

AstronomyBy:Maiya Smith

Intro•What is more then the grain of sand on the beach and takes years to get to? the stars of course! and what is the study of the stars and  the universe around them? Astronomy!!!!• •Even though there are several legacies  of ancient Egypt, Astronomy is considered one of the most important legacies because of its origin, contribution, and significates.

To begin, astronomy's origin includes its background  and development during ancient times for example "Astronomy was created and/or developed way before ancient Egypt was formed.Astronomy has been here for thousands, no millions, no billions, of years (infinity). That is way, way, way, before ancient Egypt was formed. There for no one built or created astronomy. But that just just means that someone founded it. and that's were ancient Greece comes in. ancient Egypt didn't even find out about it first.Also, Astronomy origin involved its need in every day life. For instance "the Egyptian astronomers recognized flooding happened at the same time the summer solstice began.As I said before Astronomy has been here.... forever and it has a lot of jobs. It helped the ancient Egyptians with one example is Astronomy would help farmers know when flooding came and just made life a little easier.    All in all due to the development and need of Astronomy during ancient time, its considered an Egyptian legacy.

     Astronomy is also recognized for its importance of contribution.To begin the contribution section Astronomy contribution includes how the legacy was used. "one of the ways the legacies was used for ancient calendars.The calendar that Egyptians used originally was not a solar calendar it was a lunar based on the phases of the moon. This calendar didn't always fit with the season. However now and then an extra month was added. You might ask how do they know to add an extra month. Well they also watched for the helical sign of sires. In conclusion due to the contribution astronomy had during Ancient times it is considered a legend.

The last but not least thing I wrote is how Astronomy is recognized as an important factor in our life today.    To begin the last section Astronomy not only helped in ancient Egypt. It has an impact on the world today." if no one discovered astronomy we actually wouldn't have our precious Wi-Fi. The technology that makes reading your emails in a coffee or at home possible has Astronomy to thank. A technique developed in the 1900's for analyzing signals from a radio telescope. Don't ask how scientist did that, all i know is that it has developed more from 400 B.Sc. To conclude, due to the significance of astronomy during ancient times, its considered a Egyptian legacy.

as you can see even though there were several important leg ices due to its origin, contribution, and significance. Over all I think Astronomy is the best legacy because it one helped tell time of flooding and calendar and 2 helped with our precious Wi-Fi.
