   Today we have power tools to do this. How did they achieve this with chisels? Esp ancient Egypt who was using copper not iron/steel to work the stone.

     Now that you mention it, I wonder if these have been “restored” to their current state… They definitely have the means, with the receipts from tourism.

   I just can’t get over the details on the carving. It weirdly reminds me of the “Peel Art” cafe in Kanazawa where the owner carves intricate designs into orange peels, etc.
