Alright, so before someone starts reporting our posts, I am going to shift the discussion here. We can go back to that thread whenever you want to discuss the content of some picture or post some photos.
It's not the first time we have begun chatting in regular threads though. Do you remember the verbal warning we received from a moderator about derailing the "Stupid & Funny" thread?
Personally, the Egyptian civilisation is not my favourite, that title belongs to Imperium Romanum (The Roman Empire).
You made some excellent points, the ancient Egyptians did set a lot of standards when it came to architecture. The pyramids for instance are generally considered the most common example of their architectural brilliance, but it took a lot of effort to build a perfect pyramid. In fact, the bent pyramid is a good example of their experimentations in trying to achieve the perfect pyramid shape. They did not generally build roads though, which meant that their geographic expansion was limited as they were more fond of canals. Whatever roads they had were usually dirt roads from what I know. However, there is no denying that since they were among the earliest civilisations of the Old World, they had to put in a lot of effort while undertaking their incredible construction projects & figuring out how to produce & construct everything that they did. The Obelisk for instance is Egyptian too, & it's construction was first ordered by Queen Hatshepsut. An interesting fact that you may want to know is that the Romans considered Obelisks as trophies & they carried off a number of them to Rome apart from those that they built themselves.
Seals, sculptures, & other forms of art were common in Babylonian, Harappan, Hellenic, Persian, & Roman civilizations. In fact, those things existed long before Egypt or any other civilisation of that time period. Of course, I am not denying that ancient Egyptian drawings & sculptures are impressive, it's just that I think some other civilizations were better than them in various fields. For instance, I like the Harappan seals that were used for trading purposes & giving foreigners a glimpse of their way of life. Their (Harappan) design & construction of cities, especially when water management is taken in to consideration is extremely impressive too. Roman sculptures & architecture in general is excellent as well. Moving on, what ancient Egyptians really deserve credit for in their golden era are their advancements in medicine. You would be surprised to know how much they progressed in that field. They built prosthetics, made use of one of the oldest antibiotics (honey), & even performed different sorts of surgeries apart from building surgical tools somewhat comparable to modern ones. Their doctors specialised in different fields, & they knew how to deal with burns, eye infections, various dental problems, etc. Funnily enough, even their pregnancy test was based off urine.
Check out this documentary on ancient Egypt if you are interested buddy.
Leaving all that aside, I really think you will enjoy learning about Hellenic & Roman civilizations. Even in terms of architecture, the Pantheon is among the best examples of what humans were capable of accomplishing long before the age of computers. Roman engineering was the envy of the ancient world, & their roads in particular were extremely intimidating to their enemies. They are also the inventors of concrete, furthermore, the aqueducts that they built supplied water to all parts of the empire. Anyway, I hope you like the documentary. It's quite long, but worth it if you are fond of ancient Egypt.
Try sleeping the whole day on weekends & getting up 5 minutes before Maghrib. I do that sometimes, & there is no need to worry about the thirst then either.
There is no need to apologize because it's not a problem at all. Reply whenever you want, & good luck with the project.
