HOW TO MAKE A MUD BRICK

HUNTING TECHNOLOGY Egyptians used a duck trap that they

sprinkled grain on for bait and when they pull the string, SNAP! The duck gets trapped and dies. And it makes a nice dinner for the hunter!

They used other traps as a simple dagger or axe to kill. The average length for a dagger is about 5 in. long and an axe is about 1 ft. tall.

THE SICKLE & SHADUF A sickle was used on land to

harvest crops. A man held the sickle and cut the crops, the crops were mostly wheat or barley.

The executive was a watering device made from and a counterweight. It was used to lift water from a river, ocean, canal, etc.

WORKERS AND PYRAMIDS

Each worker carried two granite hammers and two copper chisels. The Egyptians built mud ramps and hauled bricks higher to the pyramid and even some bricks weighed more than two tons! It takes about twenty years to build one single pyramid!

FARMING TOOLS Egyptians used wooden

sickles to harvest their crops. They ground up flour by crushing it with a stone. They made wine using the bagpress and squeezed juice out of grapes.
