What is Timber Use in Ancient Egypt about?

The ancient Egyptians used various local trees like acacia, sycamore fig, and tamarisk for carpentry, but had to import harder woods from Lebanon and Asia Minor for large construction projects. While the climate has remained stable, human activities like goat grazing have reduced forests. Indigenous woods were limited and difficult to work with, so Egypt relied on imports of cedar, cypress, pine and other woods for items like coffins, statues and ship masts as early as the First Dynasty.
