The Egyptians developed a highly advanced system of Mathematics for tasks like construction of pyramids and other structures, land survey and revenue calculation. The need to calculate the time of the annual floods led to the development of astronomy as a discipline. The ancient Egyptians were the first to invent an instrument for observing the movements of stars and planets. They also invented the water clock for measuring time during the night.
