    The document discusses early examples of large scale construction projects from ancient Egypt and other civil engineering feats. It describes the construction of pyramids in Egypt around 2700-2500 BC as one of the first large structures built. It then focuses on Imhotep, an engineer from around 2550 BC who built a stepped pyramid for King Djoser at Saqqara using simple tools and mathematics that still stands today. The document also briefly mentions the ancient Qanat water management system from over 3000 years ago that was over 71km long as another example of early civil engineering construction projects.

    the first instance of large structure
    Constructions

    - Around (2550BC) IMHOTEP, The first


    documented engineer built a famous stepped
    pyramid for king Djoser located at Saqqara
    Necropolis with simple tools and
    mathematics he created a monument that
    stand to this day, his greatest Contribution
    to engineering was his discovery of the art
    of building with shaped stones.

    - Ancient historic Civil Engineering


    construction include The Qanat water
    management System (The oldest older 3000
    years and longer than 71km)
