Image description

Building the Tomb of a First Dynasty King. Owing to the scarcity of wood in Egypt the people soon had to find some other material for building purposes. The Nile mud, mixed with short pieces of straw, moulded, stamped with the head of the ruling king's name, and then dried in the sun, proved the most efficient. The mud also served as mortar, and for this purpose was usually mixed with potsherds. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
