what did the egyptians use for plaster
The ancient Egyptians did not know the hard setting lime plaster invented by the Greeks, but used instead a mixture of gypsum and quartz with small amounts of lime [5] when working with stone.This was not as disastrous in the dry climate of Egypt as it would have been under wetter conditions.ost of the ancient Egyptian buildings have disappeared leaving no trace. Built of sun baked bricks made of Nile mud and straw, houses, palaces and city walls crumbled when they stopped being looked after.
