- 3. • Water clock sounds very complicated, but really it’s not. It is a little stand with a pot on the top of the stand and a pot at the bottom of the stand. The pot at the top of the stand had a hole drilled in the side. This pot was then filled with water and the water would flow out of the top pot down to the bottom pot. When the water was at a certain level, it was a certain time. The only disadvantage to the water clock was that you had to keep refilling it • sundial, pyramids and the tools to build them, and a time system • Pyramid was ingeniously built with the levers ramps and other tricks to move heavy objects inside of the monument. Egyptians built every monument that way
- 4. • Egyptians used linen for their clothing. Linen is a type of fabric that comes from flax plant fibers. It was made by soaking flax plant stems in water until only fibers remained. The fibers were combed into fine strands and then spun into string. This string was then woven into linen. • Egyptians with short hair or no hair wore wigs. They shaved all the hair off their children’s heads except for a little bit on the top, which they braided. They let the braid grow for a long time. They called it " The Lock of Youth." Some people wore wigs with beads and curls to special places • Egyptians also used makeup and oils for their bodies • rich people and poor people wore jewelry
