| Abstract | ||
| This paper is trying to search the extent of interest of the ancient Egyptian architect for documenting his engineering designs in various ways, including papyrus، limestone، woo, in addition to drawing on the walls and floors of buildings. By researching in the books and specialized researches in the study of ancient Egyptian antiquities، as well as research into the showrooms of various museums, many of the architectural graphics have been observed which varied between plan views، interfaces، and some architectural details. Many of these graphics included on data showing the dimensions and the names of the blanks, and through this data, we could stand on the drawing scale used in its preparation، where various drawing scales have been used according to the precision of the required graphics, which is currently being used. This is in addition to the use of the ancient Egyptian architect of many of the architectural manifestation vocabulary، such as trees and water elements، with the use of hatching symbols to denote the stones and water, which is what we use in the output of engineering projects currently. From this، it was observed for us the extent of the design evolution for ancient Egyptian engineer In the presence of the possibilities and primitive tools. Therefore, we must make a common agenda between engineering and antiquities faculties at Egyptian universities, to look forward for each new related to archaeological discoveries concerning ancient Egyptian architecture, to enhance the knowledge and belonging for researchers and students | ||
