Episode notes
Ancient Egyptian architecture and engineering feats date back to the early Old Kingdom, with Edfu as one of the oldest constructions around 4,000 years ago. The Great Sphinx and the megalithic temples in front of it are considered among the oldest constructions in Egypt, despite no evidence of early occupation at the Giza Plateau. Stone tools, pottery, and bones survived and were used to transport, cut, and place stones in their architectural achievements. The Egyptians demonstrated mathematical understanding and advanced engineering skills in handling immense structures with the help of sand and water to move large statues. Despite the sophistication of ancient Egyptian achievements, other civilizations were also sophisticated, but the Egyptians left detailed records of their engineers and processes for future generations.
