Hey Ben, I was hammering away on my shed and found a dusty old clay pot in the gutter—made me think, if the Egyptians had a handy, like, “brick” made of clay, could we rebuild a little replica using only their ancient tools? What do you say, fancy a quick experiment?

Absolutely, that’s a brilliant idea. The Egyptians made their bricks by mixing clay, sand, and a little straw, then hand‑molding them into flat shapes. We’d need a simple wooden mold, a small pit for firing, and a low‑temperature kiln or open hearth. Just watch the moisture level, keep the walls thin to avoid cracking, and let the sun dry them before firing. It’ll be a hands‑on lesson in ancient craftsmanship—plus a perfect time capsule to dig up later. Let’s gather the materials and get our hands dirty.

Sounds awesome! I’ll bring the shovel, the old wooden crate, and a bunch of straw—plus my trusty wrench in case we need to hold the clay together. Let’s get our hands dirty and see if we can make a brick that’s sturdy enough to hold my toolbox… or at least my jokes!
