Let's review the things from ancient Greece and Egypt and still make our lives easier and more comfortable.
Condom. Condoms were invented in 3000 years BC in Egypt. Ancient photographs have mentioned that men use condoms, which can be made from animal skin. However, there are still many people still wondering about the use of condoms of that time: to use when having sex or wearing clothes in solemn events?
Paper. The paper was invented by the ancient Egyptians in the years 4000 BC. Paper papyrus is made from papyrus, crushed into thin, hard paper. Later, ancient Greeks used animal skins to make paper.
Pen After the invention of papyrus, the ancient Egyptians realized that they needed a tool to be able to engrave pictures on it. The bones and iron rods were no longer used, the ancient Egyptians created reed pens for use on papyrus. The first pens were made from bamboo, then they gradually switched this type of pen to a primitive form of a ballpoint pen. One end of the pen is made of a circle, making a pen tip. The ink is poured into the pen body and flows down to the pen.
Edwin Smith Papyrus , written in 1600 BC is considered the first book written about surgery. It describes in detail the process of examining, diagnosing, treating and predicting disease.
Vending machines. Every time you put money in a vending machine to buy a chocolate bar, you should thank the ancient Greeks. The first vending machine used was a 'water sale' machine when you put a coin in. When the coin is released, it will fall into a weight plate, which is connected to a lever to open the valve. The disc will tilt when the coin falls, and thus the water will not flow anymore.

Make up. The Egyptians were the first to think of makeup. They use cosmetics regardless of gender, social status for both aesthetic and medical reasons. They also believe that makeup has magical powers and healing. Oil and fat are applied to the skin to protect the skin from hot climates.

High heels. High heels were painted on ancient Egyptian paintings in tombs and temples. There is a lot of evidence to prove that since ancient times, men and women have known to wear high heels on occasions of some solemn event. In addition, the living butcher of ancient Egypt also wore high heels to go through the puddles of dead animals.
Drug. The Egyptians are thought to have invented medicine, but the way they consider illness and disability is quite different from ours. They consider health and disease a uncompromising battle between good and bad.
