Abstract
Abstract There is some evidence that as far back as 3400 B.C. the systematic measurement of land was carried out in Egypt. The Palermo Stone on which the height of the annual Nile flood was recorded in that period mentions units of length and the use of measuring bands for the setting out of a temple. A land register was in existence at about 3000 B.C. and later evidence leads to the conclusion that, like all good registry systems, it was based on survey. More recent Egyptian history abounds with references to the measurement and registration of land, and the law reports of disputes in that far off period are amazingly like those of which weread in the legal notes of the 20th century Survey Journals.
