Traditional stone carving in Luxor

"Luxor is home to many ancient stone carvings, including those found in the Temple of Luxor and the Temple of Karnak. At a stone carving store in Luxor, you may hear a variety of sounds depending on the stage of the carving process.

"Generally, it can be a loud and abrasive process, with the sound of chipping and grinding as the stone is shaped and carved. The use of power tools such as angle grinders or chisels can also create a loud, high-pitched noise. When you are using hand tools such as hammers and chisels, the noise will be less and more pleasant to hear."
