Question

Can you think of another way the Egyptians might have tried to reduce friction to move the heavy blocks?

Answer 1

There are different techniques to reduce friction, similar to 1. Cleaning the surfaces 2. Including lubricants 3. expanding the temperature 4. wetting the surface 5. expelling polluting influences. Egyptian could have moved the square through water, which would be Fluid Friction, and makes it less demanding to move.

Answer 2

The Egyptians used a weird method to reduce friction by pouring water onto the sand, causing the sand to clump together and make it easier to pull along due to the reason that each individual piece of sand doesn't hold it back. They called this weird technique capillary bridges. Also they might ave used round logs to reduce the friction. Hope it helps!
