When the pyramid complexes field tombs mastabas and sun temples were built, large amounts of gold and silver were exchanged to ensure the structure would last forever. The buildings of houses small tombs with doors and stone openings made of clay bricks and wood were not necessary to lose the structure to preserve the aspects of the architecture. Most of the architectural styles and decorations were created by the Ancient Empire. The architecture that survives reflects the materials used for construction. Later changes allow for more symbolic places in these monuments of creation. Levels squares, plumb bobs are developments of the original structure. Tools were made of flint hard stone and copper or bronze because iron was not used in Egypt until around 750 BC after the Assyrian conquest of Egypt.
