From the article ;


"The work to construct the Pyramids is very advanced. They are made of granite, which can only be carved with steel.

"It has been accepted previously that these Pyramids were built 3,000 years before Christ, using flint, which could not have happened.

"They were built around 800BC when people had access to steel. That is a big reduction in the chronology."

the use of iron tools in AE is mentionned ;


F. Quarrying

As aforementioned, the workforce of the pyramids contained thousands of skilled workers in additional to the seasonal muscle brought on by the rainy season. Many of these artisans were involved with stonework. Without the use of jackhammers or drills, these talented specialists separated stone blocks from the earth with amazing precision. Since stone can hold under intense compression forces but becomes brittle under far lesser tension forces, the stones were broken by pushing them apart. Stonemasons would, with iron or copper chisels (Figure G), hammer out a chunk of rock and inserted a wooden wedge in the crack. When the wood was wetted, it would expand and, if the grooves and wood were strategically placed, snap off a desirable chunk of stone. The same types of machines used to raise the blocks to the top of the pyramid were probably used to transport the stone up and out of the quarry.


Is it true or not ? Did the ancient Egyptians have iron tools ?

Steel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'Iron was in limited use long before it became possible to smelt it. The first signs of iron use come from Ancient Egypt and Sumer, where around 4000 BC small items, such as the tips of spears and ornaments, were being fashioned from iron recovered from meteorites.'
