Document Summary
The egyptians knew about a lot more than pyramids. Here is a list of arts learned by the greeks from the egyptians: This came about because a group of greeks were working for the pharaoh as mercenaries. The pharaoh granted their request to retire together to a city in. The result was a city in egypt populated with greek-speakers, who immediately went into the import/export business. This caused a great increase in egyptian influence upon. Their work in geometry goes back even farther. But it was in the 7th century bc that they taught greeks how to make sculpture of people and how to build stone buildings. The egyptians were already famous for their medicine in the time of homer. The greeks took all of this egyptian and improved on it. Egyptian sculptures were very formalized and did not really portray the individual. The first greek sculptures looked like the egyptian ones.
