[Criteria] Role of Science [Egyptian Science] The pillar of Egyptian culture was not science, but religion, which was firmly established as the basis of their view of the world. Thus ancient Egypt had some advanced scientific technologies, with special emphasis in the fields of irrigation and medicine. Unfortunately, through out the entire history, religion played a very important role in life, and limited the ability to understand natural phenomena and develop new technologies Contrary to popular belief, scientific methodology was not a developed concept in ancient Egypt People exploring fringe theories of ancient science have suggested that Egyptians discovered electric lights, airplanes and even spacecrafts. But all these theories lack historical evidence and are not based on credible assumptions The ability to organize intense labor, and access to huge resources controlled by Pharaohs and Nobles, allowed construction of the great pyramids and other tombs. These monuments were achievements of human subordination, for the Egyptians were not particularly advanced technologically. They lacked pulleys or other devices to hoist the huge slabs of stone that formed the pyramids. [Renaissance Science] 
A scientific revolution occured during the 16th century, heralding the beginning of the modern age. This movement was made possible by the Reformation of the Church, and a decline in Conservatism. Scientific methodology was developed, leading to significant changes in the way the universe was viewed and the methods with which philosophers sought to explain natural phenomena. This revolutionary new way of learning about the world focused on empirical evidence.
