Egyptain Pulleys

Did you know that a pulley is used nearly every second!

The pulley is a wheel with two raised edges for the rope to fit through, you can use it in different ways, lifting heavy loads, transmit power and also apply forces!

The Ancient Egyptians used the pulley to make pyramids that normal people could carry, the stone blocks were over 10 tons (that's a lot)!
