Ancient Egyptian Fire Making Tools, Techniques, and Traditions

#shorts

The ancient Egyptians had a clever way of making fire using basic tools and natural materials. They typically used a fire drill, which was a wooden stick spun quickly against another piece of wood to create friction. 🔥

This friction generated enough heat to ignite dry grass, leaves, or other easily flammable materials. Once the spark took hold, they gently blew on it and added small twigs to help build a stronger fire.
