For ancient Egyptians granite was one of the most crucial building materials. A lion’s share of often massive granite blocks was mined from the Aswan quarries. Although ancient Egyptians began to use granite already from the very beginning of the pharaonic period (32nd century BCE), it was during the New Kingdom when the largest quantity of massive megalithic blocks were shaped into wonderful colossal statues or the most impressive New Kingdom monoliths and perfectly carved pieces of art - obelisks. Just imagine that at that time ancient Egyptians were extracting more granite than the pharaohs of the Old Kingdom during the construction of the pyramid complex in Giza! Moreover, ancient Egyptians were so advanced in excavation and processing of granite blocks that even today we can’t explain all the details of this mysterious ancient technology.
