A. Three technological innovations/inventions of the ancient Egyptians are Calendars, sailboats, and irrigation. Calendars allowed them to create a year into 365 days, they had better sense of seasonal cycles (they knew when it was going to flood and when they should plant their crops). Sailboats were used as transportation along the Nile. Lastly, irrigation allowed them to get water to their crops easier and faster.

B. Three important features of the Egyptian pyramids are burial places/tombs, hidden/false pathways, and how it was made. Pyramids were burial places for pharaohs, the pharaohs were mummified inside the pyramid. Their were many false pathways, so that people that were trying to steal things in the pyramid would get lost. Lastly, one great feature was how it was made, they has to use pulley systems to lift these heavy rocks.
