Limestone and sandstone were the main building stones of ancient Egypt. From Early Dynastic times onward, limestone was the material of choice for pyramids, mastaba tombs, and temples within the limestone region.
Writing was an intrinsic part of ancient Egyptian society. Egyptians used many of the raw resources at their disposal to not only carve symbols, and eventually, texts into clay tablets and rock surfaces, but to also manufacture paper, create ink and other pigments, and store their documents and records.
