The Step Pyramid of Djoser, built during Egypt's Third Dynasty, utilized basic tools such as copper chisels and stone hammers for quarrying and shaping limestone blocks. Workers also employed wooden sledges and rollers to transport the heavy stones. Simple levers and ramps helped in the construction process, allowing them to move materials to higher levels as the pyramid rose. Additionally, tools like wooden scaffolding were used to assist in building and aligning the structure.
