Walls and floors in ancient-D
The unsolved mystery of the interlocking stones has never ceased to amaze all minds , the
amount of difficulty to comprehend its techniques and the precision of its
position should indicate the superiority of the ancient Egyptian civilization
!.
The V-shape interlocking
stone which is frequently used in the old kingdom temples such as the one of
king Chephren at Giza is among the most complicated types . Such V-block which
is more than a meter thick and weighs
several tons has a distinctive function as a connective stone for the temples
walls and corners (F-2).

The majority of the
interlocked stones are cubical and tightly located with no space left between
which never required any mortar to fix . Such method was invented by the
ancient Egyptian architects to secure the temples against earth-quakes ,
massive floods and tsunami waves. The most astonishing fact about such interlocking
is that the used blocks are unequal in size and different in posing ! Most of
them located in leaning pose or no right angel one to pressure the next stone
in order to prevent any attempt to remove or relocate (F-3).
