like what did egyptians use to make their homes.

The Nile flooded every year, so there was plenty of mud for building. The farming communities made their homes from mud bricks (many still do it this way) and may have covered them with branches or reeds overlaid with mud and baked dry in the sun. Of course the wealthier Egyptians and city dwellers would have used stone quarried by slaves and hauled up the Nile by ship.

The average home would be made of some kind of adobe, but the wealthy would have used stone and marble

Probably baked mud 'adobe' - much like the native american tribes of the South-West
