Abstract
- This paper is one in a series of research papers aiming at investigating the role of ancient Egyptians in the development of Mechanical Engineering. It studies the production of tomb-pillars during a Period from the 4th to the 20th Dynasties of ancient Egypt. It presents the design and production of tomb-pillars and possible decoration. The characteristics of the tomb-pillars are investigated in some details
