ARCHITECTURE: Most houses were made of block. The banks of the Nile gave the mud used to make blocks. Block creators gathered mud, added straw and water to it as required, and stepped it with their feet until it achieved the correct consistency. The blend was then put in a shape.

Post-operative pain was compared at the time 0,1, 2, 4 and 8 hr by using VAS. There was statistically and…
