How Ancient Egypt Shaped the Modern World: An Infographic

In a way, we are all a little bit Egyptian.

When we think of ancient Egypt, for most of us, such things as the pyramids of Giza and the great temple of Karnak come to mind. But you might be amazed to find out that the ancient Egyptian legacy extends far beyond these iconic sites, touching almost all aspects of the society we live in today.

Ancient Egyptian inventions have survived thousands of years. From clocks and calendars to modern beauty regimes.
