Egyptian Construction
Egyptian construction refers to the architectural techniques and methods used in ancient Egypt to build monumental structures. The most famous examples include the Pyramids of Giza, which served as tombs for pharaohs, and the Great Sphinx, a large limestone statue. These structures were built using large blocks of stone, often transported from quarries using sledges and waterways.
The ancient Egyptians employed skilled laborers, architects, and engineers to design and construct these impressive buildings. They utilized simple tools, such as chisels and hammers, and relied on a system of ramps to move heavy stones into place. The construction of temples, such as the Temple of Karnak, also showcased their advanced understanding of geometry and alignment with celestial bodies.
