Metamorphic rocks used by the ancient Egyptians include: anorthosite gneiss and tonalite gneiss (foliated); and marble, metaconglomerate, metagabbro, metagraywacke, serpentinite, and steatite (non-foliated).
An even older example of the Egyptians' use of posts and lintels to build massive structures comes from the Karnak temple complex, a massive system of temples and religious buildings built around 3200 BC.
