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.
