It is accessed through Wadi al-Nasb through a winding and spiral road that passes through the areas of quarries and mines of the Manganese Company. Wadi Lihyan is a wide and spacious valley characterized by a large number of Nabataean inscriptions, in addition to a lot of Rock arts. In November 2016, I was invited to participate in the training course “Archaeological Survey and Desert Survival Skills” at Sarabit El-Khadem Training Center, under supervision Mr. Mustafa Nour El-Din, who told me that there is a rock with Nabataean inscriptions in Wadi Lihyan. On examination, it was found that is a small fallen rock contains two Nabataean memorial inscriptions . In this paper, the researcher deals with an analytical study of these two Nabataean inscriptions.","PeriodicalId":134942,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Studies in World Archaeology","volume":"60 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123461779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ancient Egyptians have used this stone since presynaptic times, using vitrification associated with glass and glassmaking, with glazed steatite being the oldest and first glazed stone used in ancient Egyptian civilization, since the Bedar civilization. It was used in the manufacture of glazed beads, amulets, belts, bracelets, and pins, and was also extensively used in the manufacture of glazed scarabs, as well as seals, especially button seals, and was associated with property in ancient Egypt through royal statues of this stone, as well as royal seals, scarabs, and pins, and was associated with religious beliefs in ancient Egypt. It was similar to the grain stone and shist, and was known as the soapstone because of its smooth texture, and was used in the manufacture of utensils, especially the kn jar associated with this stone in which oils, fats, and perfumes were placed. It was found in Egypt in several areas of the Eastern Desert, as well as southeast of Aswan, and it remained in use until the end of ancient Egyptian civilization.","PeriodicalId":134942,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Studies in World Archaeology","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132191593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In ancient Egypt, it points out the inclination of the triangular faces of a right pyramid. The slope length is calculated through the Pythagorean Theorem, which is completed by multiplying the square root of a plane figure with four equal straight sides and four right angles (the square) and by the sum of the squared width and the squared height. The Pythagorean theorem is calculated the sloping span length, where the slope length is studied using the vertical distance is the rise and the horizontal distance is the run, which is rise2 + run2 = slope length2. Mathematics is the abstract science of an arithmetical value, expressed by a word, symbol, or figure, representing a particular quantity and used in counting and making calculations and for showing order in a series or for identification (Number), the amount or number of a material or immaterial thing not usually estimated by spatial measurement (Quantity), and the dimensions of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move, or the position of two or more items at a distance from one another (Space). Mathematics can be studied in its own right as pure mathematics, or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering or the so-called applied mathematics. The ancient Egyptian system based on the length measure called the royal cubit, which is subdivided into seven palms, where every palm is also sub-divided into four digits or numbers. Therefore, the inclination of measured slopes is expressed as the number of horizontal palms and digits relative to the rise of every royal cubit.","PeriodicalId":134942,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Studies in World Archaeology","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114489673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
