The ancient Egyptians had the ability to complete sophisticated engineering projects, such as massive pyramids and huge temples, using primitive tools. They have developed stone-cutting methods and transported large rock masses, placing them neatly in their designated places of construction. The pyramids were built on a perfectly flat base; Builders, engineers and construction workers used parts of their bodies as a measurement system for length. The primary unit of measurement was the arm, the distance from the elbow to the top of the middle finger of the palm. Despite variations in size for body parts for different workers, that system was appropriate for small enterprises. The royal arm, length 5, 52 cm (6, 20 inches) was used as a criterion in the construction of temples and pyramids; it required greater precision.

Before the invention of printing, important literary and religious works were copied manually; a work done by scribes. In ancient Egypt, scribes were trained to write, by copying excerpts from classical Egyptian works. Religious texts were buried with the ancient Egyptians; these texts included curses, supplications (prayers), rituals and guidance about the afterlife. When the number of texts became so difficult to register on the coffins, they were inscribed on papyrus and placed inside the coffins. These texts became a major industry; the clerks had to complete thousands of copies. The places where the deceased's name was placed were left blank; until the papyrus was purchased by the writer. Mistakes were made, if the writer did not understand what he was writing; or if there were more than one writer working simultaneously in copying different passages (of the same text). Copies of papyrus scrolls continued to be carried out in the Greco-Roman era; it was necessary to...
