Ancient Weights and Measures Oxbow Classics in Egyptology is a comprehensive guide to the history of weights and measures in ancient Egypt, providing valuable insights into the technological advancements and cultural influences that shaped this civilization. The book explores the development of weight systems from the Early Dynastic Period to the Greco-Roman Period, examining the various methods used to measure length, area, volume, and mass. It also delves into the social and economic contexts in which these measurements were used, highlighting their significance in everyday life, trade, and religion. The text begins by discussing the importance of understanding the evolution of technology and its impact on human progress. The author posits that studying the history of weights and measures can offer valuable lessons for modern society, particularly in the face of global challenges such as climate change and political polarization. By examining how ancient cultures adapted to new technologies and innovations, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the need to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving technological advancements and their potential to unify people across different backgrounds and beliefs.
