The journey of artificial granite blocks begins with expert craftsmanship and advanced techniques. From raw materials to perfectly shaped blocks, every step is a blend of precision and efficiency.

More than 2,300,000 limestone and granite blocks were pushed, pulled, and dragged into place on the Great Pyramid. The average weight of a block is about 2.3 metric tons (2.5 tons). How much is that?

Now, archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed roughly 1,500 stone blocks that once made up part of Hatshepsut's valley temple, which is located near her funerary temple in the city of Luxor.
