Ok this is the real question, did he invent a math system or discover it? Considering math has always existed. Patterns can be found in anything and sometimes we give the wrong meaning to them. It may have just been an art technique to draw the symbol consistant.

I don't really think that at all. Humans let our people starve, we go to war, rape each other, and feel elitism towards our own and every other species on Earth. We are pretty much chimpanzees with the ability to create and understand complex languages.

I agree with NewerBeing. We are the master species, and I'm not going to feel sorry for it. If we keep advancing technologically, violent behavior will drop.

how come the Egyptians knew about that

A thought provoking suggestion. The Egyptians did extract the brain during the mummification process, so they were probably familiar with its structure. Star for that!

That's really nice. I hadn't noticed that before. I have to disagree with them about the spiral being the Medulla Oblongada. If were going to pick something more important to a human, I would pick the hippocampus. It isn't labelled on your diagram, but it is a very important part of human memory function. It is called the hippocampus because some anatomists thought it looked like a seahorse:

Egyptian math is very interesting. In and of itself it can make one wonder about the whole "ancient alien" idea. Can you imagine the intelligence it takes to invent something like a math system, kind of like an ancient Newton.

To mummify properly, brain tissue was nearly always removed, and this was done by inserting hooked rods (often of bronze, 25.0-30.0 cm long) into the nasal passages, perforating the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone to provide an exit for brain tissue. There appears to have been a preference for insertion of excerebration tools into the right nostril, but left nostril placement is also seen in CT scans of Egyptian mummies. It is currently thought that the brain was allowed to decompose to a semi-liquid state prior to its evacuation from the cranium. The head and neck were probably strongly manipulated by the embalmers to speed this process. Dissociation of the cervical vertebrae when it occurs is sometimes seen as indicating damage from the brain removal process, but the patterns vary widely and need to be examined carefully. Fragmentation of the base of the skull is possibly the most reliable evidence of excerebration-related damage.

The way the Egyptians removed the brain would be in such a way that it was a bunch of mush,therefore not seeing the structure of the brain.
