Kemetic Rationalism is an ancient branch of the native Egyptian (Kemetic) religion that emphasized rational thought.

    Kemet (or KMT) was one of two commonly used native Egyptian terms for ancient Egypt.

    Priests of this branch of the ancient Egyptian religion invented mathematics (including geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and most likely calculus), science (including the scientific method, the engineering method, chemistry, biology, botany, physics, astronomy, medicine, surgery, and applied science), and philosophy (including general philsophy, ethics, and logic). It is not known who among the ancient Egyptians invented geometry or algebra, but Imhotep invented trigonometry and Hypatia invented calculus.

    The most famous priest of this movement was Imhotep, who invented trigonometry, the scientific method, and triage for large-scale trauma, as well as being the original architect for the Egyptian pyramids.

    The most famous priestess of this movement was Hypatia, who was chief librarian of the Great Library at Alexandria, the first scientist to separate astronomy from astrology, the most prominent scientist and philosopher of her time (with advances in numerous fields), and most likely the first person to ever discover calculus. Unfortunately, she was tortured, gang-raped, and murdered by a mob of Christian monks and all of her written works were burned by Christian soldiers.
