Geometry was originated in 300 B.C. in Egypt.
It may be easier to talk about what part of the world the study of geometry originated in. The earliest records of geometry can be traced to two areas around 3,000 BC-- the Indus Valley which is modern-day India and Pakistan, and Babylonia /Mesopotamia, which is modern-day Iraq.
Euclidean geometry, non euclidean geometry. Plane geometry. Three dimensional geometry to name but a few
There are different kinds of geometry including elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, and Elliptic Geometry.
