Ancient human in early stages of his life depended on stone (Kottak, 2006). He used some stone made tools to overcome the natural environment and prevention from any possible danger. In addition to provide his daily needs (Mohammed 2005). This use developed and passed many stages of stony ages like the old stony age and the Middle stony age and the modern stony age. He began to use stone in building and in preparing his stony tools like, hummer, grinder, mill and others. Among the most important stones used are the Granite, Basalt, Nice, limestone, sand stone, and Sawan stone. Some stony tools were found in some archaeological sites (Braidwood and Howe, 1972) like Cave Shanidar, Solecki- 1953, Al ani-1986) and Kareem shahr (Howe 1983) and Tel Alnisr , the archaeological, nearby Alrutba city western Iraq (Alzubaidi 2012).
In Egypt, stone was used in building the temples and cemeteries like Granite stone, Limestone, Dolostone, marble, sandstone, gypsum and bazalt (Dollinger 2000). Types of building stones differ from place to another depending on the available stones in the nearby natural environment. (Wahby, 2004).
