Metamorphic rocks used by the ancient Egyptians include: anorthosite gneiss and tonalite gneiss (foliated); and marble, metaconglomerate, metagabbro, metagraywacke, serpentinite, and steatite (non-foliated).
In building the pyramids, how did the Egyptians get the heavy/huge blocks of stone in place? Workers used sleds, wooden rollers and levers. They dragged & pushed the huge blocks up ramps of packed rubble to the level they were working on.
