Historians disagreed in determining the oldest civilization on Earth known to man For many thousands of years, prosperous civilizations have emerged in the canyons of major rivers such as Nile and Euphrates. and east of it in the rivers of India and China, although most beliefs are that it is the ancient Egyptian civilization of the Nile Valley or the Iraqi civilization of the Rafidain Valley civilizations ", when these civilizations moved into urbanization and civic life in the late fourth millennium BC.

Ancient Egyptians, Rum, Greeks and Babylonians gained access to knowledge of their own methods. They excelled in studying areas such as writing, taxidermy, astronomy, medicine, numeracy, engineering and other different sciences. Ancient Egyptians transmitted the knowledge they were able to access on papyrus, and were digging this information on their rocks in hieroglyphs. The effects of these civilizations indicate that they were mature civilizations all mature compared to their time.

The Egyptians are believed to be the first to introduce a decimal integral computing system (based on approximately 10) since 2700 BC. Egyptians used a headline to express the 1 number and heel bone to express the 10 number and the rope wrapped for the 100 number and the lotus flower for the 1000 number and some other Pharaonic symbols to express the larger values up to a million. But the pharaohs did not have the concept of spatial value, so the larger numbers were difficult to write (for example, writing the number one million needs a single symbol but a million minus 1 needs a 54 code to write).

Rhind Papyrus' 1650 BC Papyrus. M.L. ' precisely how to do multiplications and divisions at that time.
