He taught them how to work with the bricks, supervised the erection of the buildings, and encouraged the revival of such ancient crafts as claustra (lattice designs in the mudwork) to adorn the buildings 7aCommunity developmentzEgyptzQurna.2BUEsh 7aEgyptzQurna.2BUEsh  bGGENbCOMAMEbENGARCcFebruary2019  2ddc  00102ddc40708AUCaMAINbMAINc1STd2019-02-24ePurchaseg200.00h16583l3m15o307.720962 FATp000044301r2025-07-15 00:00:00s2024-06-23v250.00yBB
