Egypt is a place where the climate is dry and hot with little rainfall and most areas of Egypt are covered by a desert. However, the Nile River that runs through Egypt flooded every year, allowing Egyptians to increase harvests to create food surpluses. On the other hand, China contained deserts, forests, and mountains, and many Chinese adapted to the environment by building irrigation systems, fishing, and developing crops. Although Ancient Egypt and Ancient China were in two different places, their technology, especially in industry, agriculture, and weapons, had similarities and differences. Industrial technology in Ancient Egypt and Ancient China has similarities in paper, but there were a more significant number of differences. , which are the monetary system and the press. The greatest similarity in industrial technology between Ancient Egypt and Ancient China was paper. Although the similarity was that both civilizations were capable of creating paper, the manner and manner in which it was produced were different. In ancient Egypt, paper, also known as "papyrus", was made from beaten strips of the papyrus plant. On the other hand, the paper produced in ancient China was not made from the papyrus plant or wood pulp. Instead, the Chinese first made paper with hemp fiber and silk, but found the quality to be far from satisfactory, so, in 105 AD, paper with worn mesh, bark and cloth. These materials were easy to find and the cost of making paper from the materials was much cheaper than making paper from hemp fiber and silk. The first difference in industrial technology between Ancient Egypt and Ancient China was the monetary system in both civilizations. One of the greatest technologies achieved by ancient China was paper money, also known as "flying money", created in the 9th century AD. In ancient Egypt, the Egyptians did not use paper money but people purchased goods with food such as grain, oil and olive oil. And as they developed, coins also became part of the Ancient Egyptian monetary system. The second difference in industrial technology between ancient China and ancient Egypt was printing. Around 600 AD, the Chinese invented fixed-type engraved printing, also known as "block printing". Although it was difficult to look for errors and not easy to memorize using this "block printing", it still helped ancient Chinese civilization have an advantage in printing.
