Vortrag, gehalten in der feierlichen Sitzung der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften am 29. Mai 1884. "Über die Geometrie der alten Aegypter" by Emil Weyr is a scholarly publication that was presented in the late 19th century. This work explores the geometrical knowledge and methodologies of ancient Egyptian civilization, highlighting their contributions to the development of geometry as a science. The book is aimed at readers interested in the history of mathematics and the intellectual achievements of ancient cultures. In this publication, Emil Weyr delves into the origins and progress of geometrical understanding in ancient Egypt, arguing that it was not solely the birthplace of mathematics, but rather that various cultures developed geometrical concepts out of practical necessities. The author examines historical accounts from Greek philosophers, such as Herodotus and Plato, detailing how the Greeks acquired their geometrical knowledge from Egyptian priests. Furthermore, Weyr analyzes ancient texts and artifacts, including the Rhind Papyrus, to substantiate claims of advanced understanding in land measurement, geometry construction, and practical applications. The work concludes with an assertion about the sophistication of Egyptian geometry, revealing a cultural legacy that significantly influenced subsequent mathematical thought.
