Most metals and precious stones used in the manufacture of tools, pots and ornaments were extracted from the Eastern and Western deserts of Egypt. Mining was an exhausting and deadly activity. Because most of the mines were in the desert, workers' living conditions were harsh; mining was therefore practiced seasonally. Mobility to land mines was unavoidable. The slow donkey convoys were out of reach and needed massive troops to protect them from bandits The old mines were small spaces, not expanded, and supported by wooden beams, as in the present. The miners had to lie on their stomachs, beating their shovels all day long. Workers were usually hired with food and drink, and were not allowed to keep a piece of gold or jewelery; however small. In the Roman era, slaves who were prisoners of war or prisoners in crimes were used to work in mines. Poor families, with their children, also worked in mines. The children crawled in the small spaces to take out the rock crusher. Co...

Pyramid, is a geometric form of many surfaces, one of which is a polygon called the base of the pyramid, and the pyramid resulting from connecting the corners of a quadrilateral or triangular base with a single point called the top, and the monthly shape of the base is the square base. Another definition: The pyramid is a regular polygon whose base is a regular polygon, whose head is tethered to a point outside the base so that if we take a column from this point it meets with the junction point of the base diameters. The regular pyramid is a pyramid whose base is a regular polygon and its sides make equal angles with its base. Calculates the size of the pyramid in mathematics according to the relationship: Size = Base Area × Height Where the height is the length of the line projected vertically from the top to the base (or extension). [Edit] Pyramid buildings Pyramids of EgyptThe pyramid buildings spread in many parts of the world, in Egypt, Mexico and South America a...

The ancient Egyptians used a type of writing based on images, in recording their ideas. Unlike other writings that are always written in one direction, hieroglyphics can be edited and read from right to left or vice versa; or vertically in both directions. One can define the beginning direction from which text is read, depending on animal or human labeling; for backward and forward, as these marks always face the beginning of the text. When writing hieroglyphic texts, the ancient Egyptians ignored the sounds of moving letters, as is now the case with Arabic and Hebrew writing. From the time of the ancient state onwards, the ancient Egyptians also used the Hieratic script; a short, concise writing on papyrus, used by priests in religious and funerary texts. With the later pharaonic times and the Ptolemaic period, a more concise written writing was used: the demotic script. Throughout ancient Egyptian history, scribes were considered the custodians of literary traditions. In add...
