basically i saw this video that talked how Egyptians built the pyraimds with their early knowledge in math.
so is there a textbook that have the problems that Egyptian people used to get taught in school or university. i’m even sure if they had uni or school at these times but the video got me really interested in solving and seeing the kind of questions that used to get asked in exams and such.
so hope my request is clear. i’m sorry if it’s not clear.

It’s not quite what you’re after, but I studied a History of Maths module at uni which went quite in depth into Egyptian mathematics. We used Merzbach and Boyer’s A History of Mathematics for reference – it is a monster of a book though, covers long periods of time but was a good source!
