It creates a union between two planks or other components by inserting a separate tenon into a cavity (mortise) of the corresponding size cut into each component."
#Woodworking rulers free
A variation of this joint using a free tenon eventually became one of the most important features in Mediterranean and Egyptian shipbuilding.
A fixed tenon was made by shaping the end of one timber to fit into a mortise (hole) that is cut into a second timber. One of the most important indigenous woodworking techniques was the fixed mortise and tenon joint. Tamarix ("tamarisk" or "salt cedar") was used to build boats such as the Abydos boats. Stone was used in quantity for the manufacture of ornaments, vessels, and occasionally, for statues. "Large tombs of pharaohs at Abydos and Naqada, in addition to cemeteries at Saqqara and Helwan near Memphis, reveal structures built largely of wood and mud bricks, with some small use of stone for walls and floors. Egyptian hieroglyphs were fully developed by then, and their shapes would be used with little change for more than three thousand years.
The account in Manetho's Aegyptiaca contradicts both the archeological evidence and the other historical records: Manetho names nine rulers of the First Dynasty, only one of whose names matches the other sources, and offers information for only four of them.
No detailed records of the first two dynasties have survived, except for the terse lists on the Palermo Stone. Information about this dynasty is derived from a few monuments and other objects bearing royal names, the most important being the Narmer Palette and Narmer Macehead, as well as Den and Qa'a king lists.
