Journal Title: World Journal of Engineering Research and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This is the 35th research paper exploring the evolution of Mechanical Engineering in Ancient Egypt. The paper investigates the production of human stone statues in ancient Egypt during the 18th Dynasty. The design of the stone statues, the used stones, date and present location are investigated. The clothing and headdress of the statues is highlighted and the beauty aspects associated with the statues are clarified. The analysis outlined the degree of sophistication of the used mechanical technology producing amazing stone statues of even high hardness level.
