From these texts it is known that ancient Egyptians understood concepts of geometry, such as determining the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes useful for engineering and algebra. Egyptian astronomy begins in prehistoric times, in the Predynastic Period. Stone circles were used to for astronomical alignments. By the time the historical Dynastic Period began, the 365-day period of the Egyptian calendar was already in use, and the observation of stars was important in determining the annual flooding of the Nile.
