Enthralled by someone Uneducated juat making shit up about ancient culturea theyve barely studied. I guess its easy to entertain people with fantastical tales of ancient high technology. How sad that history has become what sounds the coolest and not whats the truth
Andrew just wanted to say I have been watching your clips for ages and I know you as a comedian but this was the first podcast after Joe Rogan where I was hooked for the whole 2h45m. please bring more guests like Ben who really dig deep into a subject they are interested in and you guys asked all the questions that came to my mind as I was watching with no excessive joke or laughter. it was as if I was actually in the room.
This comment also describes my thoughts exactly.... more of these type of shows Andrew let's give 'ol Rogan a run for his money for world's best podcast ! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
I worked concrete form work for 6 years full time. We did tilt ups specifically, where you built forms for the concrete walls of the building laying down on the slab floor, fill em with concrete, spray bondbreaker then build the next form for the next wall on top of the previous: on “lift day” we bring in some of the largest caterpillar moving cranes in the world and lift the horizontally laying walls up and set them vertically into place. The walls were between 20 and 120 tons typically. It gave me a deep sense of how much things weigh, how hard concrete is compared to sandstone, granite, steel or titanium. I know exactly how it feels when a powered hammer drill with a tungsten carbide or diamond tip plows thru concrete then stops dead in granite. It gave me a deep sense of how difficult precision down to the millimeter is to acheive, even when you have satellite lasers and modern metrology tools. Ain’t no fuckin chance in hell that the massive majority of megalithic stone structures worldwide were built without advanced material science, advanced metrology, lathes, power tools like circular and band saws as well as tube drills etc, these tools applying massive pressure forces currently only achieved in industrial settings by industrial hydraulics. I know the signs of humans working on construction sites and how no human would invest hundreds or thousands of hours of extra manpower for no purpose, as would be required in cases like the scoop marks that appear on the Aswan 1200 ton obelisk, scoop marks that present at regular intervals. If that was done with stone pounders you wouldn’t measure off regular intervals at which the scoops would have ridges in between, given the massive investment in manpower that would cost. Furthermore, the workers would at the very least bind the pounding stones to the end of a stick, like a primitive hammer, to utilize the leverage that would employ as well as it serving to protect them from smashing their fingers or developing tennis elbow. No worker would ever make three inch overcuts if they were using bronze saws with sand as abrasive because that would require many extra days of backbreaking labour during which time the workers would have to simply not notice that they’d already cut past the mark. You don’t get clear thread marks on drill holes with sand abrasives and copper, no, you only get thread marks when you have a very hard cutting edge being pushed into the stone at a fast rate, requiring industrial power to spin the drill and hydraulics to press it into the stone and advanced material science to form the cutting edge. Currently, the most advanced industrial machines for cutting granite slabs for kitchen countertops have diamond cutting edges and highly specialized steels to form the circular saw blade, but those circular saw blades do not exceed about one meter cause beyond that the centrifugal forces on the circ saw blades would deform them. This was why the Tesla Turbine never caught on, cause material science wasn’t advanced enough to handle those forces, and given that there are clear circular saw marks on granite with diameters exceeding up to five meters…. Bro. Not a fucking chance that was done by anything but a society with advanced tech, with material science exceeding ours today. The vase Ben has examined down to the micron, it’s relative proportions contain mathematical features like Pi and the speed of light. Much like how the Hoover Dam or the Georgia Guide Stones were built to speak of advanced science in their very form and dimensions, the lathe turned vases (or more likely CNC’d vases) found in Egypt, more than 400000 of them, were designed and crafted to communicate through their dimensions that the society that crafted them was at least as advanced as ours. This ought to be one of the greatest scandals in history, how this was hidden from us
When you have access to tens of thousands of slaves that do whatever you tell them 365 days a year you can have as many scoop marks as you want, at whatever interval you like.
Yeah you’re wrong. Imma listen to an archaeologist about this stuff before a damn construction worker. It definitely wasn’t easy for them in any sense but they certainly did it 😂
I am a bricklayer with 32 years experience and have also worked with stone....there is no way I could lay blocks that precisely without mortar. I would actually define that as impossible and yet these structures exist.
I work with granite every day, with gas powered stone saws with diamond tipped blades. and carbide tipped chisels. I would also say it’s impossible. Definitely impossible with copper chisels.
yeah in the Chris Dunn book he explain the Great Pyramid today would require every major limestone company to increase their max production by 3 times and even THEN the cost and time it would take to accurately cut and ship it out, assuming nothing goes wrong would be astronomical. deff worth a read!
@@AIenSmithee His youtube videos on his channel are literally of him spending weeks in Egypt exploring various tombs and tunnels, and he is doing high precision 3D measurements on ancient stone jars showing precision that matches things we manufacture for application in aerospace and high performance turbines. You are what happens when ignorance and hubris makes a silly internet comment.
@@jabonny and you are what happens when you just watch conspiracy videos n UA-cam and don’t try to critically test the things he claims. He is simply wrong. He says so many things that are so easily proved wrong but you wouldn’t know if you don’t look for it. You just take his word for it and now have a presupposition. You say he makes precision measurements, have you bothered to see if anyone disagree? Have you bothered checking to see if it’s not bad science. I bet not
@@handroids1981 In that case let me reveal to you that I am the head of the worldwide institute of archeological engineers and I don’t agree with Ben so there. Check mate.
I got so caught up in Andrews costume that I didnt realize the other guys are dressed up too haha. One of my favorite episodes so far. Plz do more history content like this.
I thought the same thing but then it was so interesting I forgot they were dressed like that the mummy costume and his serious face and crossed leg kills me every time😂
@@drone2936 The guy isn't joking. He's a straight edge science guy that came here and doesn't understand the Flagrant podcast to know it's a comedy podcast. His comment speaks this pretty loudly. Has nothing to do with being soft. Reading comprehension doesn't seem to a be a strong suit of yours.
Glad to see his humility, the ability to ask obvious questions about things, and then to say “I don’t know” about things that he really doesn’t know… THIS is how science works.
Love how flagrant can have a guy like chael on and let him tell his story while also cracking A+ jokes, then have Ben on, be serious about the topic and let him unload the gigabytes of information he knows about the topic. 10/10
@@putemintheboat6784He’s talking about the mainstream Egyptologist, They are lazy and complicit with the history as it is. They also don’t want to look ignorant of their own work, if it was proven wrong. I personally think they were used for some kind of ascension after death, a conduit to another world.
Do they actually, or are you just intrinsically interested in the narrative they've put together? Cause if ancient civilizations and monolithic structures were that interesting to you, you wouldn't need fringe conspiracy theorists to have hours and hours worth of content to listen to.
I like how smoothly everyone is keeping up with all the information and Andrew and Akashi both make things easier to digest by rewording it for the audience really well it shows the intelligence of actual comedians
Comedians r forced to b smarter than we think they r. They have to b knowledgeable about so many things in order to write good jokes about them so they naturally end up knowing more than we give ‘em credit for
@@codyadams4389 yeah well real comedians anyways 💀 there’s a lot of people in the game now who haven’t been forced to become more acute and actually be funny they just see someone else get inspired then recite joke templates anyone could look up and use
I loved seeing the guest really lead the convo. I think this is the least amount of jokes on a show I’ve seen. Also you can tell Andrew really enjoys this topic. He did a good bit of research and had some great questions ready.
This dude is talking way too fast and spitting out numbers like he has this shit memorized. Makes me think he’s full of shit cuz he can’t just speak like a normal human being
Andrew Huberman’s episode is good proof of this. He was trying to educate and they kept laughing and talking over him. Couldn’t finish the whole episode
I'm a ACTUAL Quarrymen. I get into my truck and go into the mountains everyday and cut stone from the mountainside and sell it. You have NO IDEA what your looking at. That's impossible. What they did back then is literally impossible. I have water jets that are the most advanced cutting machines made and they can't operate within the margins these massive stones are. And it would take weeks to even shape it. Obviously there's missing tech. Crazy. My minds blown.
Right I think a bad natural castrophy killed off 95% of the population. Some of the caves and buildings would have kept people alive like bunkers, and all the old tech was burnt, rotted away and anything left was disassembled and reused to restart civilization. They dont want us to know the truth that this isn't the first time we have been to at this same or better technological world we live in today. Look at some old "stones" they look like chamfered poured concrete. Pour each one individually you have a cold joint no saw cut needed!
Pure fiction that it was all impossible. Is Michael Angelos statue of David totally impossible also because it can't be cut by water jet? You use a single example of water jets to try and discount thousands and thousands of years of stone masonry mastery all to shoehorn in some ambiguous concept of "lost technologies".
@@justmeEnglandUK You're talking pure rubbish. I can tell you're deliberately ignoring evidence to be able to stick to the fantasy you've pictured in your head, prove your claim because all evidence is against you.
Great podcast! Been following Ben for the last few months and definitely worth a watch. I've been in the engineering industry for over 18 years in Australia as the lead on multiple large scale highway construction projects, redevelopment of defence bases and construction of hospitals. The level of precision I see with some of the megaliths/masonry blockwork/artifacts, the materials, the construction methodology in just quarrying/transporting thousand-ton structures over 1000 of miles, organizing a workforce, housing/feeding them/24hrs a day year after year...just beyond unbelievable!
Yeah Ben is great! I’ve been watching him for probably 2-3 years now and the amount of research he’s done is freaking amazing! He definitely knows what he’s talking about.
Its not though is it, they were a civilisation based upon feeding and putting to work people to create their civilisation. One that didn't change from 4000bc to 0bc. Its perfectly reasonable that people who worked all day every day with 1 material and became good at using it. If we spent hundreds of years now generation after the next making stone objects big or small we would again become ingenius with how to use it. We dont because we have tools that take away our need to do that. You can cut stone, saw stone, and make it "perfect" thats what humans do. This is not a basis for anything other than appreciating how those people created wondrous objects.
This has been the best podcast from anyone I've listened to in such a long long time, and yo I'm so happy the guys let this man talk and didn't try to make it dumb with filling it with jokes the whole time, y'all asked great questions and allowed him to just go and go, more of these pls!
So glad i saw your comment. I’m 7 minutes in and wanted to know if it was jokes or serious because I’m really interested in this topic and was gonna go over to Rogan to nerd out
This is a crossover I would have never expected, cool that they all were so interested and asked good questions instead of just making fun of everything. I've watched a ton of his videos and this was actually a really good compilation of some of the main points he's been making all in one video and easily digestible.
Man I really enjoy this podcast. It really does feel like the boys shooting the shit and just being curious about random stuff. Working from home for 3 years now it’s good to kinda get a dose of comradeship thru this podcast. Don’t stop, there’s a lot of people that need this type of content
I'm just starting to watch this. Happy to see this topic! The internet has made me realize how much we have (everyone has) been lied to about History, Archeology, Everything! I am so pissed off! Thanks for having this discussion. I hope I can finish watching it 🙂
I’m so happy Ben exists. It’s a breath of fresh air gifted to me by his sheer ability for critical thought. We need more courageous and vocal people like him
Was Ben an engineer or a construction worker, from what I can tell he studied history and was in i.t. Why aren't they asking someone who does construction?? Like a foreman. I don't find it unbelievable at all that humans that are just as intelligent as us could move big rocks with precision. Lol
@@R0YB0T Well.. You should look into the Sumerian tablet translations referencing the pyramids by Zechariah Sitchin. He’s a controversial figure (but has not been sufficiently disproven in my opinion). His translations of the Sumerian tablets tell a story of the ‘Annunaki’ and their contributions to humanity on Earth in deep antiquity. If his translations are actually true, it all would sure make a lot of sense. I’m still very sceptical of what he proposes though but it’s very interesting to consider.
@@jamesperrie1393 And the archeologists who actually study these topics don't have access to said engineers and stone masons? Let's take the word of a guy who clearly stands to gain from fooling others, and not the community whose studies are peer reviewed at every step of the way.. The only difference between you and flat earthers is the topic you choose to be fooled on.
Ben is one of the few people you should listen to about ancient Egypt. It’s great to see him get this amount of exposure. History should include inputs from all scientific disciplines and he helps reintroduce physics, metrology, survey, and involving people who actual work with said materials. If you’re interested in the hard facts of the structures, Flinders Petrie is a giant.
If you care about “hard” facts regarding ancient Egyptian history, Ben is not at all valid reliable source as he is just a creator of fantasy fan-fiction. Its fun stuff, but none of what he hypothesizes is backed by actual scientific method and fact nor are his claims supported by Ancient Egyptian material-culture. Unfortunately there is zero evidence to support any of his claims. Just speculation based on misinformation and misinterpretation.
@@EscapeTheMatrixRightNow nah yall looking a Her journey and don’t tell me you’re not including the heavies. Don’t get me wrong, she had an amazing/horrifying journey that she overcame. But what this guy is talking about, if true, would rewrite every book and all history of the earth

It's awesome seeing this kind of discussion on a podcast like flagrant, it'll reach a wider audience and people can learn about this stuff further on their own.
Yeah but when you are a simpleton and you look into this none of it is gonna make sense. You need to study this kind of stuff to even have an opinion. Like the guy saying oh they had it lined up on true north and we couldn't do that until whenever. Just because we didn't build a building that lines up with true north which is completely pointless to begin with doesn't mean anything. None of these people have anything to add. All they do is put doubt in the research that goes into it. They keep going on and on about an advanced civilization with no positive evidence. People want this to be true so they just believe everything this guy says. This should be looked at and given adequate attention. To say this shows an advanced civilization is disingenuous. I agree we don't know everything and that's fine. I watched Graham Hancocks new Netflix show and it was all crap. None of it connects and it's all a giant stretch to even consider. Then you have him saying yes this is proof of how advanced civilization used to be. Lol he took the end of a tail and said well if you draw this imaginary line through here it points north. All I'm saying is be careful who you take seriously with all this stuff.
@@level1dodo896 Additionally L1D, when one does explore further on their own one comes back around and gives thanks. The fringe stuff is entertaining and prompts many to explore further. One gives thanks to the Indiana Jones for getting into Archeology or Jurassic Park for Paleontology. Take that interest and explore. There is no mean man holding one back.
Are you a king ? They were shooting for immortality and in a strange way they got it. Most people know the name of Khufu or Ramses but cannot remember who is in their current government
I was surprised by how much thought this guy put into this topic, and he’s very good at articulating what he wants to say and then showing samples that could be evidence
@@ZEFFENWULF uh no, they literally do that EVERY episode...... This one was actually one of the better ones where they didn't all interrupt and talk over each other.
I’m so glad to see Ben getting the shine on all the big podcasts. Been enjoying his work for years. Love how he keeps a level head and shows evidence to consider.
Ben is a fascinating chap to listen to, I hope he does a massively long compilation on UnchartedX of all these bits of information together to point out that there was likely a more advanced civilisation before the catastrophism. I'd watch it!
I wish andrew really gave him a chance to honestly and deeply answer a bunch of the questions. Also noticed the speech felt weird and too fast. Played it back at .75 and it felt like a live viewing. Like bens vids and when he was on rogans podcast. Andrew didnt do him justice.
As an indigenous Australian open most definitely say that Persians have been here long before the British even the Spanish and the Dutch were here before the British
I really loved this episode, and watched it a couple times with a friend even, I really wish you guys did more content like this. I feel like Ben is so knowledgeable in so many areas of history, conspiracies included, but there was something so good to see the interactions between you guys on the panel too, it made me excited about history again :) loved it
You should check out real history then because it’s still super fascinating even when you don’t spin a wild tale about a lost civilization with psychic abilities lol real archaeologists can easily disprove 99% of the stuff this guy says that’s why he’s a pseudoscientist
20mins in and everyone is silent, just letting Ben talk & talk & talk, that’s how you know he’s got you! When even the Flagrant boys are silently listening in
He also did a great job of interjecting when things were getting abit hard to follow for some people and broke it down very simply. A lot of people tune out when they start to not understand something but he also jumped in to make sure everybody can stay involved in the convo
From an engineering standpoint, the pyramid would be structurally weaker if all the blocks were the same size, the fact that the all the blocks are differentiated means that the whole thing is more locked into itself. It would be possible to knock a level off if it had perfect horizontal and vertical joints. I think it’s the best way to make pieces tie together and have the whole structure be nearly or as strong as if it were one whole piece. I also believe that’s a piece of how and why the no mortar construction is possible 1:51:56
I've watched Ben's vids for 3 yrs or so he makes top quality content and I like that he will say "I don't know" instead of pretending to know everything like the egyptologists
woops , you made a little mistake there , i think you probably meant , instead of the word ''info'' , the word ''speculation'' you should look up what the word ''precedent'' means and Actually Learn something Real in your life
@@ThermaL-ty7bw You do realize all archaeologists operate off of speculation, right? They can date a wooden beam, but can't actually tell you with certainly what a structure was used for. They openly admit if it has no bones, food garbage, or tools in a structure they automatically assume it's of religious significance. They aren't certain of anything. And that the girth of modern science is all theory, which is speculation. You've really made no point at all. Just upset that someone is speculating a different narrative than the one programmed into you. You academic lovers are an especially stupid lot.
great example of cultures that passed on their history orally are the Aboriginal countries of Australia. Many of their creation stories have been linked to geological, meteorological and astronomical events. many experts have been shocked at the accuracy of these stories even the ones that have been linked to events more than 50 thousand years ago, amazing how the literal oldest human civilization has maintained their traditions and history primarily through oral methods
There are always a few scientist and engineer in every civilization. They will make impact if the politic support for them. Many people refuse to use their brain.
If this catastrophic event happened and wiped out everything in its path, how did things like the pyramids and other mega structures still stand 🤔.. doesn’t make any sense
Thankyou for bringing Ben to your listeners. And asking crucial questions of him to help explain it all more clearly His channel UnchartedX is the best for showing the precision in these incredible ancient megalithic structures our forgotten ancestors made. Somehow.
Not only has this podcast given me some insane info highs and thorough thought pauses of how an ancient civilisation could be our future or the next civilisation's future but also the ability to listen to the experience of Ben, Randy and Graham have the confidence to instil confidence into others through a podcast that keeps it light hearted and fairly easy to have the smallest understanding yet an unforeseeable magnitude of knowledge you have all right to attain and display. Much love from down under!!!
Right... Can we fucking crowdfund this dude to lead an expedition?! Ben knows his shit. He isnt bound by politics, he doesnt have to brown nose anybody - he has the passion, the expertise and the ability to find advanced civilisations. Nobody else on this planet can do that. *FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LETS GET THIS DUDE TO LEAD US TO A NEW ERA!*
Graham Hancock can. I find him to be on a different level still, though Ben is awesome as well. Problem is "leading" archeologists vorbid them from working in Egypt for example.
Great episode.. I love learning about eye-opening stuff like this! I’m glad they let him talk to explain his points and s/o to Akash & Andrew for keeping the info digestible for the masses.
With everything going on right now, we'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
I'm honestly surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony last two months in CNBC world news and decided to try him out...I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
Man what hell of a discussion. I really appreciate how most aspects are talked about in a debating context but with each person open-minded enough to not clam up and bring some humor. Fucking wild to see Ben and Andrew on the same page. Seen Andrew in Orlando every time he's made his way down!!
@@user-wb7nv9ht1g huh? Who are these real historians and what is the metric? If u were to say he was arguing against physicists, biologists or say chemists then i would take your comment seriously. Newsflash Historions aren't scientists. They merely speculate. If mankind got wiped out tomorrow and in a hundred thousand years the remnants of mankind found graffiti of your name on the Hoover Dam would u suddenly be the god of the American continent? This is, albeit hyperbolic. But this is how historians work when they lack complete information. While Historians are awesome, your comment is flawed
I’m a machinist and we specialize in parts for nasa,Jefferson lab,and cern we hold tolerances +/-.0005 for a lot of the jobs. I love it when this topic is brought up we machine a lot of different materials from plastics to all different types of metal. I would be interested if Ben or any big podcasters have a machinist on while a researcher or archeologist talks about how the stuff is made cause that’s what we do we make it come to life and they could give some good input on how this stuff could be done as well
I'd recommend Ben's recent couple vids about measuring a stone jar, and maybe even the earlier vids discussing the jars for more context. Really, all of Ben's vids are great, but those recent two are exactly what you asked for
I’ve found and listened to every single podcast Ben is on talking about this subject. They are all excellent and just enough different from one another to be worth listening to
Imagine if a comet hit earth 🌎 ☄️ during the podcast... Million of years later archeologists digging out Andrew and say... "This guy must have been their King !"
I literally am ready to go down a rabbit hole about the Egyptian Pyramids and our “belief system” of primitive humans who were here in Earth long before all of us! Literally unlocked a level of fascination and curiosity I have not had in a very long time, if ever!
Andrew seems like hes really into this stuff, even knows alot of the stuff prior to Ben saying it. So cool to see Unchartedx on here and the boys get into it. Impressive and awesome episode
Didn't expect this kind of convo. I love talking about shit like this after I studied Anthropology last year. Good to hear regular ppl bring this up instead of science communities
This dude is not an Anthropologist. Not a credible guy. Flagrant boys are still entertaining. Regular people built all that stuff, you can do amazing things when your face is not stuck in a smartphone all day, its not magic
This is my favorite episode so far! Been following Ben for a couple of years and I'm glad he's getting this huge exposure lately. You all did an amazing interview with great questions.
I've just come across him. Sounds like he is saying the same as Graham and Randell. Am I wrong in this assumption? Does he bring new insights to the topic and is he worth the time?
@@pennyjerkins7115 One could say that he's expanding on the things that others like Graham, Randall etc have already said. He goes a bit more in-depth on some of the subjects aswell.
@@eleven-vibration115sorry but it’s not and we have plenty of evidence to back it up. You’d think an ancient civilization would have signs of domesticated food and animals when we literally have evidence of humans 12,000 years ago slowly domesticating grasses into wheat and stuff. Like over the course of 4k+ years we see these crops become larger and larger until it’s the crop we know of today, how come if civilization is far older than that we don’t have a single piece of evidence? You think the far more advanced ancient civilization was also Hunter gatherers? Because we’d still have tools and locations and artifacts left over from them no matter how long ago it was. Just saying if you look at what archaeologists say and actually keep an open mind to it, they’ll show you countless things of physical evidence while these fools have never produced any evidence for their theories ever.
@@eliyarrows2456how were these megastructures built then? Archaeologists say primitive tools, and if common sense tells you that megastructures can be built with primitive tools than damn🤦🏾♂️ that’s fucking sad. Yeah a lever and pulley along with a couple thousand slaves. I’m 100% sure we can move 100+ 50-150 ton stones and stack them on top of each other. All while chiseling at rock with better precision than we could have achieved 100 years ago😂😂. Like bruh show me some evidence that actually makes sense. What’s your education level?
Ben, great to see you furthering the truth in the ongoing way that you are. Happy to be supporting you. Keep on evolving and sharing. Great work, from New Zealand.
1:53:48 making uniform blocks would undoubtedly create more waste and require more material. The impressiveness is not only the force needed to move these blocks… but the math utilized to treat these blocks like puzzle pieces
What an excellent episode! This is one of my new favorite podcasts. Ben is such an enlightening person, and the interactions your crew had with him made it that much better. Job well done!
TODAY IS THE DAY - we gonna figure out how tf these things got built, light up and enjoy 👽

I worked concrete form work for 6 years full time. We did tilt ups specifically, where you built forms for the concrete walls of the building laying down on the slab floor, fill em with concrete, spray bondbreaker then build the next form for the next wall on top of the previous: on “lift day” we bring in some of the largest caterpillar moving cranes in the world and lift the horizontally laying walls up and set them vertically into place. The walls were between 20 and 120 tons typically. It gave me a deep sense of how much things weigh, how hard concrete is compared to sandstone, granite, steel or titanium. I know exactly how it feels when a powered hammer drill with a tungsten carbide or diamond tip plows thru concrete then stops dead in granite. It gave me a deep sense of how difficult precision down to the millimeter is to acheive, even when you have satellite lasers and modern metrology tools. Ain’t no fuckin chance in hell that the massive majority of megalithic stone structures worldwide were built without advanced material science, advanced metrology, lathes, power tools like circular and band saws as well as tube drills etc, these tools applying massive pressure forces currently only achieved in industrial settings by industrial hydraulics. I know the signs of humans working on construction sites and how no human would invest hundreds or thousands of hours of extra manpower for no purpose, as would be required in cases like the scoop marks that appear on the Aswan 1200 ton obelisk, scoop marks that present at regular intervals. If that was done with stone pounders you wouldn’t measure off regular intervals at which the scoops would have ridges in between, given the massive investment in manpower that would cost. Furthermore, the workers would at the very least bind the pounding stones to the end of a stick, like a primitive hammer, to utilize the leverage that would employ as well as it serving to protect them from smashing their fingers or developing tennis elbow. No worker would ever make three inch overcuts if they were using bronze saws with sand as abrasive because that would require many extra days of backbreaking labour during which time the workers would have to simply not notice that they’d already cut past the mark. You don’t get clear thread marks on drill holes with sand abrasives and copper, no, you only get thread marks when you have a very hard cutting edge being pushed into the stone at a fast rate, requiring industrial power to spin the drill and hydraulics to press it into the stone and advanced material science to form the cutting edge. Currently, the most advanced industrial machines for cutting granite slabs for kitchen countertops have diamond cutting edges and highly specialized steels to form the circular saw blade, but those circular saw blades do not exceed about one meter cause beyond that the centrifugal forces on the circ saw blades would deform them. This was why the Tesla Turbine never caught on, cause material science wasn’t advanced enough to handle those forces, and given that there are clear circular saw marks on granite with diameters exceeding up to five meters…. Bro. Not a fucking chance that was done by anything but a society with advanced tech, with material science exceeding ours today.
The vase Ben has examined down to the micron, it’s relative proportions contain mathematical features like Pi and the speed of light. Much like how the Hoover Dam or the Georgia Guide Stones were built to speak of advanced science in their very form and dimensions, the lathe turned vases (or more likely CNC’d vases) found in Egypt, more than 400000 of them, were designed and crafted to communicate through their dimensions that the society that crafted them was at least as advanced as ours.
This ought to be one of the greatest scandals in history, how this was hidden from us

Ben has the best channel ( UnchartedX) that points out the precision evident in these megalithic works.

...the pyramid code.
You should research the book of Enoch and maybe that would become your favorite subject.

I am a bricklayer with 32 years experience and have also worked with stone....there is no way I could lay blocks that precisely without mortar. I would actually define that as impossible and yet these structures exist.
I work with granite every day, with gas powered stone saws with diamond tipped blades. and carbide tipped chisels. I would also say it’s impossible. Definitely impossible with copper chisels.
yeah in the Chris Dunn book he explain the Great Pyramid today would require every major limestone company to increase their max production by 3 times and even THEN the cost and time it would take to accurately cut and ship it out, assuming nothing goes wrong would be astronomical. deff worth a read!

You say he makes precision measurements, have you bothered to see if anyone disagree? Have you bothered checking to see if it’s not bad science. I bet not

Took me like 10 minutes to see the other dudes dressed up
One dude wore the Birkenstocks in his closet that inspired his whole costume. 😆
I give Ben a lot of credit for being able to have a conversation with this guy dressed like this.
Not to mention the other guys next to him that I just noticed.
So clearly you're not here for the Flagrant boys. You heard your guy Ben was on and now you're making comments on things you know nothing about 😄

Do they actually, or are you just intrinsically interested in the narrative they've put together?
Cause if ancient civilizations and monolithic structures were that interesting to you, you wouldn't need fringe conspiracy theorists to have hours and hours worth of content to listen to.
I like how smoothly everyone is keeping up with all the information and Andrew and Akashi both make things easier to digest by rewording it for the audience really well it shows the intelligence of actual comedians
This is exactly what I loved! Well put!
Fr I was struggling at some points 😅
You blowing smoke up their ass. Repeating what someone just Said is definitely not a sign of intelligence.
Comedians r forced to b smarter than we think they r. They have to b knowledgeable about so many things in order to write good jokes about them so they naturally end up knowing more than we give ‘em credit for
@@codyadams4389 yeah well real comedians anyways 💀 there’s a lot of people in the game now who haven’t been forced to become more acute and actually be funny they just see someone else get inspired then recite joke templates anyone could look up and use
The reason i like listening to Ben is because every thing he says makes so much sense 🙏🇬🇧
I loved seeing the guest really lead the convo. I think this is the least amount of jokes on a show I’ve seen. Also you can tell Andrew really enjoys this topic. He did a good bit of research and had some great questions ready.
Truth
This dude is talking way too fast and spitting out numbers like he has this shit memorized. Makes me think he’s full of shit cuz he can’t just speak like a normal human being
The joke is the time this guy stayed on the hook. Almost 3 hours! Love these guys.
Andrew Huberman’s episode is good proof of this.
He was trying to educate and they kept laughing and talking over him. Couldn’t finish the whole episode
Just the costumes today were on point 😂
I'm a ACTUAL Quarrymen. I get into my truck and go into the mountains everyday and cut stone from the mountainside and sell it. You have NO IDEA what your looking at. That's impossible. What they did back then is literally impossible. I have water jets that are the most advanced cutting machines made and they can't operate within the margins these massive stones are. And it would take weeks to even shape it. Obviously there's missing tech. Crazy. My minds blown.
We need your help with this thank you a lot of people don't know much they assume a lot
Right I think a bad natural castrophy killed off 95% of the population. Some of the caves and buildings would have kept people alive like bunkers, and all the old tech was burnt, rotted away and anything left was disassembled and reused to restart civilization. They dont want us to know the truth that this isn't the first time we have been to at this same or better technological world we live in today. Look at some old "stones" they look like chamfered poured concrete. Pour each one individually you have a cold joint no saw cut needed!
Pure fiction that it was all impossible. Is Michael Angelos statue of David totally impossible also because it can't be cut by water jet? You use a single example of water jets to try and discount thousands and thousands of years of stone masonry mastery all to shoehorn in some ambiguous concept of "lost technologies".
To build a structure like the pyramid a civilization has to be at it's pinnacle the Egyptian were nowhere near they inherited it
@@justmeEnglandUK You're talking pure rubbish. I can tell you're deliberately ignoring evidence to be able to stick to the fantasy you've pictured in your head, prove your claim because all evidence is against you.
Great podcast! Been following Ben for the last few months and definitely worth a watch. I've been in the engineering industry for over 18 years in Australia as the lead on multiple large scale highway construction projects, redevelopment of defence bases and construction of hospitals. The level of precision I see with some of the megaliths/masonry blockwork/artifacts, the materials, the construction methodology in just quarrying/transporting thousand-ton structures over 1000 of miles, organizing a workforce, housing/feeding them/24hrs a day year after year...just beyond unbelievable!
Yeah...the lead still adheres to the geologists', hydrogeologist, and engineers. Much like the Egyptians.
Mate where are you based in Aus? I run a CNC shop in VIC, lets chat!
Yeah Ben is great! I’ve been watching him for probably 2-3 years now and the amount of research he’s done is freaking amazing! He definitely knows what he’s talking about.
Its not though is it, they were a civilisation based upon feeding and putting to work people to create their civilisation. One that didn't change from 4000bc to 0bc. Its perfectly reasonable that people who worked all day every day with 1 material and became good at using it. If we spent hundreds of years now generation after the next making stone objects big or small we would again become ingenius with how to use it. We dont because we have tools that take away our need to do that.
You can cut stone, saw stone, and make it "perfect" thats what humans do. This is not a basis for anything other than appreciating how those people created wondrous objects.
One of the best conversations I’ve heard! Great video!

Was Ben an engineer or a construction worker, from what I can tell he studied history and was in i.t. Why aren't they asking someone who does construction?? Like a foreman. I don't find it unbelievable at all that humans that are just as intelligent as us could move big rocks with precision. Lol
@@R0YB0T Well.. You should look into the Sumerian tablet translations referencing the pyramids by Zechariah Sitchin. He’s a controversial figure (but has not been sufficiently disproven in my opinion). His translations of the Sumerian tablets tell a story of the ‘Annunaki’ and their contributions to humanity on Earth in deep antiquity. If his translations are actually true, it all would sure make a lot of sense. I’m still very sceptical of what he proposes though but it’s very interesting to consider.
@@R0YB0T Ben has an engineering background though.
@@R0YB0T he is asking engineers and stone masons.
@@jamesperrie1393 And the archeologists who actually study these topics don't have access to said engineers and stone masons? Let's take the word of a guy who clearly stands to gain from fooling others, and not the community whose studies are peer reviewed at every step of the way.. The only difference between you and flat earthers is the topic you choose to be fooled on.
Ben is one of the few people you should listen to about ancient Egypt. It’s great to see him get this amount of exposure. History should include inputs from all scientific disciplines and he helps reintroduce physics, metrology, survey, and involving people who actual work with said materials. If you’re interested in the hard facts of the structures, Flinders Petrie is a giant.
If you care about “hard” facts regarding ancient Egyptian history, Ben is not at all valid reliable source as he is just a creator of fantasy fan-fiction. Its fun stuff, but none of what he hypothesizes is backed by actual scientific method and fact nor are his claims supported by Ancient Egyptian material-culture. Unfortunately there is zero evidence to support any of his claims. Just speculation based on misinformation and misinterpretation.
They did though... its not their fault that he cherry picks 4 of them out of hundreds.
Glad to see people are waking up to this… can’t wait till they connect what happened in Alexandra to Rome. Great podcast guys.

Like the guy saying oh they had it lined up on true north and we couldn't do that until whenever. Just because we didn't build a building that lines up with true north which is completely pointless to begin with doesn't mean anything.
None of these people have anything to add. All they do is put doubt in the research that goes into it. They keep going on and on about an advanced civilization with no positive evidence. People want this to be true so they just believe everything this guy says.
This should be looked at and given adequate attention. To say this shows an advanced civilization is disingenuous. I agree we don't know everything and that's fine. I watched Graham Hancocks new Netflix show and it was all crap. None of it connects and it's all a giant stretch to even consider. Then you have him saying yes this is proof of how advanced civilization used to be. Lol he took the end of a tail and said well if you draw this imaginary line through here it points north.

From an engineering standpoint, the pyramid would be structurally weaker if all the blocks were the same size, the fact that the all the blocks are differentiated means that the whole thing is more locked into itself. It would be possible to knock a level off if it had perfect horizontal and vertical joints. I think it’s the best way to make pieces tie together and have the whole structure be nearly or as strong as if it were one whole piece. I also believe that’s a piece of how and why the no mortar construction is possible 1:51:56
Stone come in many rough sizes from a quarry. The most efficient model would be to not create massive amounts of slag and have a standard size block.

@@ThermaL-ty7bw You do realize all archaeologists operate off of speculation, right? They can date a wooden beam, but can't actually tell you with certainly what a structure was used for. They openly admit if it has no bones, food garbage, or tools in a structure they automatically assume it's of religious significance. They aren't certain of anything. And that the girth of modern science is all theory, which is speculation. You've really made no point at all. Just upset that someone is speculating a different narrative than the one programmed into you. You academic lovers are an especially stupid lot.
Ben spreading fantasy fan-fiction info, alas none of it is factual. It would be cool if any of what he says was true.
great example of cultures that passed on their history orally are the Aboriginal countries of Australia. Many of their creation stories have been linked to geological, meteorological and astronomical events. many experts have been shocked at the accuracy of these stories even the ones that have been linked to events more than 50 thousand years ago, amazing how the literal oldest human civilization has maintained their traditions and history primarily through oral methods
There are always a few scientist and engineer in every civilization. They will make impact if the politic support for them. Many people refuse to use their brain.

With everything going on right now, we'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
you're right investing/trading is surely a lucrative way to invest whether you want growth, leverage, stable income or something in between.
I have loss severally trying to trade on my own. Can someone tell me the best way to win instead of losing more?
I'm honestly surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony last two months in CNBC world news and decided to try him out...I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
he's really a professional. For this past months, I keep earning $11,800 weekly profit having invested $4,200 and working with him
@A-G Bassey orn Please how can I contact Mr fergus ? I really like what he has done for you, and I also want to benefit from it.
Man what hell of a discussion. I really appreciate how most aspects are talked about in a debating context but with each person open-minded enough to not clam up and bring some humor. Fucking wild to see Ben and Andrew on the same page. Seen Andrew in Orlando every time he's made his way down!!
Ben doesn't want to talk to a real historian, his fantasies don't stand up against facts unfortunately.
@@user-wb7nv9ht1g huh? Who are these real historians and what is the metric? If u were to say he was arguing against physicists, biologists or say chemists then i would take your comment seriously.
Newsflash Historions aren't scientists. They merely speculate. If mankind got wiped out tomorrow and in a hundred thousand years the remnants of mankind found graffiti of your name on the Hoover Dam would u suddenly be the god of the American continent?
This is, albeit hyperbolic. But this is how historians work when they lack complete information.
While Historians are awesome, your comment is flawed
Is it just me or is flagrant slowly becoming the best podcast out there?
50/50
Good podcast and now has a good footing but come on, the best out there? Hardly.
@@logan5381 who's the best in your opinion? I just started getting into podcasts, love to get some recommendations
Was thinking the exact same thing. I look forward to this way more than JRE these days.
Most entertaining for sure
This is awesome. So much good info. Clearly the true history of our planet is different to what we are taught.
I’m a machinist and we specialize in parts for nasa,Jefferson lab,and cern we hold tolerances +/-.0005 for a lot of the jobs. I love it when this topic is brought up we machine a lot of different materials from plastics to all different types of metal. I would be interested if Ben or any big podcasters have a machinist on while a researcher or archeologist talks about how the stuff is made cause that’s what we do we make it come to life and they could give some good input on how this stuff could be done as well
Ben does have machinist on his podcast sometimes
Sweet will have to watch them
There's been machinist and architects that have debunked all of this nonsense about how ancient civilizations were too dumb to cut granite is silly
I think Lex would.
I'd recommend Ben's recent couple vids about measuring a stone jar, and maybe even the earlier vids discussing the jars for more context. Really, all of Ben's vids are great, but those recent two are exactly what you asked for
The amount of knowledge known by this man is insane
I'm so glad Ben is finally getting some recognition... been watching him for years, he has nothing but good points.
I’ve found and listened to every single podcast Ben is on talking about this subject. They are all excellent and just enough different from one another to be worth listening to
Imagine if a comet hit earth 🌎 ☄️ during the podcast... Million of years later archeologists digging out Andrew and say... "This guy must have been their King !"
So happy to see Ben getting the recognition that he deserves.
amen
Agreed. He’s the best
So happy!
Lol, deserves? According to who? Uneducated people.
Definitely undeserved, honestly sad anyone even follows that guy
I literally am ready to go down a rabbit hole about the Egyptian Pyramids and our “belief system” of primitive humans who were here in Earth long before all of us!
Literally unlocked a level of fascination and curiosity I have not had in a very long time, if ever!
I went on this journey about 6 years ago. It's almost too much.
It's wild how different our history really does seem to be.
Fantastic & accurate detail, there is also an alignment between the Pyramids and some celestial locations that I do not recall you speaking to!
Andrew seems like hes really into this stuff, even knows alot of the stuff prior to Ben saying it. So cool to see Unchartedx on here and the boys get into it. Impressive and awesome episode
Didn't expect this kind of convo. I love talking about shit like this after I studied Anthropology last year. Good to hear regular ppl bring this up instead of science communities
don't know if "science communities" are the ones talking about ancient power tools
@@KevinUchihaOG dont b lame
@@KevinUchihaOG I’m a Harvard phd graduate and my life has been dedicated to the study of ancient power tools
This dude is not an Anthropologist. Not a credible guy. Flagrant boys are still entertaining. Regular people built all that stuff, you can do amazing things when your face is not stuck in a smartphone all day, its not magic
Yeah height be a scam liar but did anyone debunk Andrew's naked legs???
This is my favorite episode so far! Been following Ben for a couple of years and I'm glad he's getting this huge exposure lately. You all did an amazing interview with great questions.
I've just come across him. Sounds like he is saying the same as Graham and Randell. Am I wrong in this assumption? Does he bring new insights to the topic and is he worth the time?
He's glad too cuz Graham Handcock makes bank and the pie needs a 'precision' slice.
@@pennyjerkins7115 One could say that he's expanding on the things that others like Graham, Randall etc have already said. He goes a bit more in-depth on some of the subjects aswell.
@@robcampbell2164 And he's the troll again. I'll give you some of the attention you desperately demand in this comment section.
I watched the WHOLE podcast from beginning till end. Thanks!
Akash is a natural interviewer he had great questions that promoted depth and truth to be spoken
Ben is always a great guest on any podcast he goes on, you know its going to be an interesting episode when he’s on.
Good chances what is spoken here is some respect is true. Human civilisation is older than we think
@@eleven-vibration115sorry but it’s not and we have plenty of evidence to back it up. You’d think an ancient civilization would have signs of domesticated food and animals when we literally have evidence of humans 12,000 years ago slowly domesticating grasses into wheat and stuff. Like over the course of 4k+ years we see these crops become larger and larger until it’s the crop we know of today, how come if civilization is far older than that we don’t have a single piece of evidence? You think the far more advanced ancient civilization was also Hunter gatherers? Because we’d still have tools and locations and artifacts left over from them no matter how long ago it was. Just saying if you look at what archaeologists say and actually keep an open mind to it, they’ll show you countless things of physical evidence while these fools have never produced any evidence for their theories ever.
@@eliyarrows2456how were these megastructures built then? Archaeologists say primitive tools, and if common sense tells you that megastructures can be built with primitive tools than damn🤦🏾♂️ that’s fucking sad. Yeah a lever and pulley along with a couple thousand slaves. I’m 100% sure we can move 100+ 50-150 ton stones and stack them on top of each other. All while chiseling at rock with better precision than we could have achieved 100 years ago😂😂. Like bruh show me some evidence that actually makes sense. What’s your education level?
Why you guys listen to him is beyond me.
I'm an engineer and I can tell you that we can be just as stupid as any arm chair expert.
Ben, great to see you furthering the truth in the ongoing way that you are. Happy to be supporting you. Keep on evolving and sharing. Great work, from New Zealand.
1:53:48 making uniform blocks would undoubtedly create more waste and require more material.
The impressiveness is not only the force needed to move these blocks… but the math utilized to treat these blocks like puzzle pieces
What an excellent episode! This is one of my new favorite podcasts. Ben is such an enlightening person, and the interactions your crew had with him made it that much better. Job well done!
Define “enlightened”?
The mummy with slippers tho lmfao love it
