Most buildings in an ancient Egyptian city were made of soft clay bricks and plaster. The most important public buildings meant to last forever according to Egyptian thinking were carved in stone. To make a permanent statement of their beliefs and the deeds of their most important people they carved pictures and statements in stone expecting them to outlast clay and papyrus. It didn't always work. Some papyrus scrools survived well. But the monumental epitaphs of temples and graves has been the major source of our knowledge of this incredible culture from 4000 years ago
