Rope stretcher
In ancient Egypt, a rope stretcher (or harpedonaptai) was a surveyor who measured real property demarcations and foundations using knotted cords, stretched so the rope did not sag. When performed by a king to begin building a temple〔Wilson, ''op.cit.'', p.38〕 the stretching of the rope was probably a religious ceremony.〔Breasted: From the Great Karnak Building Inscription (Year 24 of the reign of Thutmose III), ''op.cit.'' § 608〕 On artefacts as ancient as the Scorpion Macehead, Egyptians documented the royal surveyors' procedure for restoring the boundaries of fields after each flood.
==History==
The first surveyors to use ropes and plumbs may have been Egyptian.〔''Encyclopædia Britannica'', op.cit.'', p.828〕 Rope stretching technology spread to ancient Greece and India, where it stimulated the development of geometry and mathematics. Some think that it was India which influenced Greece.〔Chattopadhyaya, ''op.cit.'', p.153〕
