* Where, however, the master-mason has not been hampered by being forced to workhastily or cheaply, he displays his conscientiousness, and the choice ofmaterials, the regularity of the courses, and the homogeneousness of thebuilding leave nothing to be desired; the blocks are adjusted with suchprecision that the joints are almost invisible, and the mortar betweenthem has been spread with such a skilful hand that there is scarcely anappreciable difference in its uniform thickness. ** * The simil...arity of the materials and technicalities of construction and decoration seem to me to prove that the majority of the tombs were built by a small number of contractors or corporations, lay or ecclesiastical, both at Memphis, under the Ancient, as well as at Thebes, under the New Empire. ** Speaking of the Great Pyramid and of its casing, Professor Petrie says: "Though the stones were brought as close as [--] inch, or, in fact, into contact, and the mean opening of the joint was but [--] inch, yet the builders managed to fill the joint with cement, despite the great area of it, and the weight of the stone to be moved--some 16 tons.
