Quarry Tools
The Egyptians used several different tools to cut the stone in the quarries. They used chisels, pickaxes, saws and drills made from copper and bronze, and hammers and chisels from hard rock such as dolerite. They used these to remove the material from the bedrock. They cut and shaped the stone into squares with copper and bronze chisels. They used wooden blocks, levers and sledges to move the blocks, using mud and water as a lubricant to ease the moving of the large stones. Often they transported the stone by boat to the building site.

The pyramid builders in Egypt cut rock with copper saws and stone drills. Ancient peoples, including the Egyptians and Greeks, built large stone buildings using ingenious tools made without hardened iron or steel. Many of these ancient rock-cutting tools have been in use for thousands of years. Some used friction to cut through very hard rock or stone, such as marble and granite. Use of these these tools often involved a great deal of back-breaking labor.

Egyptian Bow Drill
The ancient Egyptians used a tool called a bow drill to cut rock. A bow drill looks a bit like a violin bow, with the string wrapped around a wood or copper tube. A drill bit made of hard stone was inserted into one end of the tube. One end of the bow was wider than the other, to create a handhold. The worker moved the bow back and forth in a sawing motion, which rotated the tube and the drill bit very quickly, thereby drilling a hole. Once many holes were drilled, the rock could be split with wedges or carved out with chisels.

Egyptian Slabbing Saw
The ancient Egyptians also used the slabbing saw to cut large slabs of rock. Egyptian slabbing saws were serrated on one edge of the blade and were designed to be pulled, not pushed. The ancient Egyptians did not have steel saws like the ones we use today. Instead, slabbing saws were made out of copper, and later out of bronze and iron. These metals alone are not strong enough to cut hard stones such as basalt or granite. In order to cut these stones, the saws were combined with an abrasive, such as small chunks of minerals or crystals. These were sometimes embedded in the metal when the saw was cast; otherwise they were rubbed onto the stone, under the saw, during cutting

THE TOOLS DESCRIBED IN THE PREVIOUS POSTS WERE FOUND AT THE WORKERS CAMP.

You're the tool. Ha, ha.

Their copper had to be mixed with the other metals to make them strong enough that is why I laugh at your sources and all who claim they did it with just copper.

 

[daws101]

Google can be your friend nitwit.

Beshay Steel, Egypt | Home

so your saying that an obviously modern steel company existed in egypt 5000 years ago?

No but my point is that those metals were not the only metals availble to them,they mined metals and you can't have gold or copper without smelting them which you can't have gold without iron and nickel.

Could early Egyptians separate out the metals properly to make them pure I don't know. But they had to have stroger metals to cut through stone.

Both limestone and granite are very strong rock.

first you were absolutly sure that the Egyptians USED IRON AND STEEL TO BUILD THE PYRAMIDS THEN YOU SAY THAT THEY DID USE COPPER AND BRONZE BUT FOR ONLY MENIAL JOBS.
CONVENIENTLY YOU LEFT OUT THE FACT THAT OTHER STONE WAS USED AS A TOOL...THE POINT IS THEY DID NOT HAVE IRON OR STEEL AS ALREADY PROVEN .
YOUR CLAIM THAT THEY HAD TO HAVE STRONGER METALS TO CUT STONE HAS NO BASIS IN FACT, AS THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT IT.

Why Did Ancient Cultures Build these Amazing Stone Monuments?


So, there are all these amazing megalithic stone monuments found all over the world, built over the millennia by civilizations as varied as the locations in which they are found, and as the monuments themselves. Unfortunately, in most cases we don't really know why (or even how) they built these monuments, since the cultures have disappeared and mostly left no written accounts of their purpose or anything behind. And in many cases we don't even know why they were abandoned.
