Great stone tombs, such as those seen in ancient Egypt, were typically constructed using large limestone or granite blocks. Workers transported these massive stones using sledges and rolled logs, employing a combination of manpower and simple machines like levers. Construction involved skilled laborers who carefully cut, shaped, and assembled the stones, often using ramps to elevate blocks to higher levels. The tombs were then adorned with intricate carvings and paintings, reflecting the beliefs and artistry of the civilization.
