    We prefer to belong to Africa because in terms of culture and compare to


    other countries Egyptians are good in four fundamental mathematical operation and
    other mathematical skills such as basic concept of algebra and geometry. The
    lemombo bone which is a tool for multiplications, divisions and simple mathematical
    calculation or six-month lunar calendar, considered as oldest known mathematical
    artifact from 35,000 BCE. In terms of technology and compare to other countries
    Africa is blessed with natural and mineral resources, thus caused the emerge of
    science. Early science activities in Egypt were developed to improve the quality of
    their life especially in building homes and cities. Also known to be the center
    alchemy known as medieval forerunner of chemistry. In anatomy compare to other
    countries The structure of Egyptian pyramids, which are based on Constellation
