As a geologist myself with 50 years of experience in the field of diamond drilling ,mine geology and stone quarrying ,I would like to congratulate you for this extraordinary presentation .The amazing artifacts really can challenge modern technology and human history in this respect needs to be re-evaluated.Thanks for this great work.
@@alxtroun4373 um what gravity was present? The depth of cut shows progression of 2+mm per revolution, Copper and Abrasive sand are you on the same farking planet as the rest of us? On the absolutely disgraceful video you watched How long would it take them to cut a 5 cm hole? How many tube drills and workers were working on these tools to make the number of holes present at Giza alone? Incomprehensible.
I'm not the world's biggest Joe Rogan fan, but I saw the episode with Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson a few years ago and that got me hooked on this stuff. Ever since then I've been reading and watching everything I can get my hands on by people like Ben. I don't know how anyone could watch a video like this, and after considering all the evidence say "nah, they did it with rock hammers and copper chisels, and it was all done at the same time as the crude graffiti left on these incredibly precise works of art" It's just so absurd a notion, it's like they think the entire world is made up of complete idiots. How ignorant would one have to be to believe the mainstream narrative after seeing the things that Ben shows us, it's just beyond ridiculous. I hope I live to see the paradigm shift. It *will* happen one day.
Exactly, programming a great example of this. So many high level languages built on top of lower level languages and things being abstracted away that many programmers would struggle to tell you how a computer works or how the hardware and software Interact. It's not an attack on their skill, it would take a lifetime just to become an expert on high level languages that are constantly having new features added etc. It's just an example of how basic knowledge can be lost.
Hey !!! You stole my statement!!! I've been saying this for a while now. The more technology we gain, the more we lose knowledge,skill, thinking, problem solving etc .. A Good example is some of the government computers. I don't remember what had to be done or where, but it required contacting, and finding living people who programmed the computer. it was so antiquated that none of the programmers working there could figure it out.. The technology of today was known.. The old systems technology got thrown to the waist side, forgotten, and lost. I imagine over thousands of years there are technologies We now have no clue even existed. Just a thought 🤔
Some feats go beyond simply losing skills. Some achievements go beyond difficult and into impossible, or at the very least highly unlikely to be achieved by using hand tools alone, and without highspeed precision diamond or harder cutting tools. Try cutting, shaping, drilling and polishing granite to a high degree of precision and a mirror finish by hand, using primitive copper tools and sand. We are talking the precision of an engineer's flat edge engineered to withing less that one tenth of a human hair thickness. Try achieving that degree of accuracy on a granite stone statue, sarcophagus or monolith by hand with primitive copper tools.
I wanna take a moment to appreciate the watermarks you put in the footage stating what site or object is being shown, they really make researching and referencing easier!
the trouble is aliens seem even more plausible than a lost high tech civilisation in the past.... if it was a lost civilization then apart from what they DID with their technology there really should be more evidence of the people and the technology they USED even if they were all killed off by a cataclysm.
@@knoton3747 I didn't say aliens did do it....I am just pointing out, that there is still NO explanation yet that is any better even if I don't believe it was aliens. (and I haven't got a clue who you are quoting with your part about brown people couldn't have done this)
@@knoton3747 the trouble is, although I don't like it much, theories about aliens are actually far more plausible than theories about long lost high tech civilizations... I just still haven't seen any explanation that makes me go ..'aha yes that's it!!...that's the explanation' ..I like hearing people's theories but It's still all an unexplained mystery as far as I am concerned.
@@peterjol Bingo. Where are the broken tools to cut straight sheets, drill holes and to measure angles. Look at the "Nazca Lines"animal figures all over Peru. No transits, no giant balls of string yet parellel, straight lines (The Parrot) on many wings converging on central locations. 500BCE? Stonework at Machu Picchu? Perhaps the stone cutting shop slid down the mountain. I think not. Aliens
0:46 The method allowing creation symmetrical statues like Ramses II is presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru” (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v10). UA-cam does not allow a direct link. Search by the article title.
The saw marks are so insane, I was a machinist for 3 years and that block looks exactly like when you face a piece of cast metal and don't cut deep enough to remove all the casting. The box at the Serapeum was OBVIOUSLY vandalizes. Just imagine if you bought that box from someone today, and it was shaped with that craftsmanship, and came with that quality of engraving. You'd be pissed that they ruined your box with crude engravings done by a 3rd grader, but we are supposed to believe they were done by the same people simply because it's old. Complete nonsense.
Graffiti.. lets call a spade a spade... even some of the sculptures are symmetrically identical.. and look like they were designed with CAD, or why else make a hand carved sculpture with straight an curved lines of identical replicated angles on both sides of a sculpted face, reality is not that perfect and only makes sense if using a computerised laid... An then there's the crudely chiselled carved attempts at lines in glyphs that look like cavemen's graffiti when compared to the angular symmetrical perfection beneath. Some of the glyphs I remember thinking, look perfectly carved with perfect arcs.. While others look almost as if drawn by kids with hammers and chisels. It's not a wild speculation to consider the graffiti neither done by same people, it's akin to vandalism, an most likely nor was it done in the same era as said original builders as they would of most likely considered it a crime worth punishing..
I'm hooked. Plan to donate at the end of the month. One of the true mysteries I find factually interesting enough to give me goose-bumps. I've watched your other posts, too.
I’m very happy that you brought up Graham Hancock, and the terrible mistreatment of a man who dared to think differently. Humanity should praise thinkers who question and hypothesize outside the bounds of their respective fields. Thank you.
His thinking boils down to "bro you don't know how bad it was bro, just trust me bro it was like a nuke going off planetwide and that's why there's not a single artifact to prove this but somehow people survived."
@@jamesm1- exactly. Also one forgotten fact. Matter doesn't just get destroyed and disappear. Matter changes from one form to another. It's still there. I like he's thinking outside the box but he's wrong
@@asylumentaland luckily this whole series by Graham Hancock has absolutely zero evidence to back up his imagination. Also it's been debunked here in UA-cam by several people. Maybe the best one being the video series made by minuteman.
Yes and no. Yes, matter changes, but imagine we all were wiped out tomorrow, wait long enough and there wouldn't be any sign left of humanity.@@brianstrutter1501
I recently started giving Graham Hancock more attention. After I watched his series on Netflix I immediately googled what mainstream archaeologists said about it. The first results I saw were he was "dangerous" and his ideas were "white supremacy." That's when I knew something was seriously wrong. You guys present very serious questions that demand a greater look at this and to dismiss these questions in such a way is not just unprofessional, it's anti-professional and exposes itself as an establishment that wants to keep a narrative in place.
Imo Graham Hancocks theories make much more sense than what the mainstream has led us to believe. The simple fact that the often dismiss the astrological connection to all of these sites, is ridiculous! Seems to me these people that want to continue to push their agenda are the real supremacy. It’s obvious there is a lost advanced ancient civilization
His ideas are dangerous, dangerously stupid. Like flat earthers. And the white supremacy comes from the main idea he's pushing originating from early Nazi groups lol. He's pushing the idea of a central group of people who taught the dumb colored people how to do things, and while he never outright says master race the entire basis is identical.
Reminds me of the area around the Sphinx; When shown a picture of just the ground and walls... Every Geologist: “Oh yeah, that looks like water erosion, definitely the result of heavy rainfall.” Schock: “Well, this is the Sphinx enclosure, and heavy rains disappeared from that area several thousand years before the Egyptians. Isn’t that fascinating?.” Every Geologust: “....oh....huh, well that’s weird, not a big deal though, the Egyptologists take care of all that.” Every Egyptologist: “Schock is no longer allowed near the Sphinx, he’s promoting fringe theories.” These people don’t like it when you challenge their status quo, which is a HUGE roadblock for advancement.
@@kevinbuxton8577 Because (a) it is a specialized field, including archaeology and (b) some Egyptologist spend their lives studying papyri or drawing and paintings or other reminants. It undoubtedly is not "intentionally isolated". And anyone who wants to can get involved but you have to have some qualifications to join an investigation.
The Sphinx is located quite a bit lower in elevation than The Pyramids and is carved out of the living limestone which is layer upon layer of flaking stone exposed to hot days and cold nights, wind and the water table it is a part of. Complete fairy tale that Sphinx is older than Pyramids. When you go to the site there is water under the great pyramid, in the funeral lower temple, and in the rock enclosure the sphinx sits in which is dug out of and down into the ground.
maybe not, the serapeum looks more like a production factory. different stages of how the boxes are made. like a car factory....the finished product is straight out of the door. so anything left in it would be...unfinished. it would make more sense that the writing etches on the 'finished' box still in the serapeum are a trace guide for it to be finished properly. like a tattoo artist applying a trace image to your skin before going over it with the needle.
I opened this video expecting some crank "ancient aliens" nonsense, but instead it reminded me of the wonder, awe, and bemusement I felt as I child seeing a certain exhibit in a museum. It was a granite bowl, hollowed out inside so the hole was smaller than the volume, with a glassy smooth finish and absolutely perfect workmanship. A card said it was from before 3000BC. The next displays along were alabaster bowls dated 2000-3000BC, and they were beautiful but clearly more crude. Workmanship of the objects on display clearly improved as time went on but never to the level of that bowl. This is just amazing stuff and I can't wait to see more.
I love subject and I love Ben talking but you wouldn't spend all day as this is unfortunately becoming repetetive. I've seen all his videos and this one brings nothing new. What worries me a bit is that syndrome of besieged castle when talking about their theories. I count on new discoveries after his future trips.
@@tomzzo maybe you misunderstood my intentions. I'm honestly big supporter of all that subject and would like to see a lot of new evidence. Unfortunately this video is first with zero new facts. Not criticizing just a bit disappointed but not with Ben but that this theory is stuck.
as long as you listen only for entertanment, not education . . . you could say these kinds of speculation are thin on facts . . . but they're so thin they only have one side.
The Younger Dryas article was published in Nature, the most respected scientific magazine. If an asteroid fell on Earth 13000 years ago and raised the level of the oceans, then imagine how many civilizations were destroyed. It is said that in that amount of time all of our buildings would disappear. So it is perfectly reasonable to assume things like ancient technology and civilizations more advanced than what official history says. And that is education.
@@MaciejRabiejMR Follow some of the links he has posted. It'll take you a long time to review all the evidence for the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis for instance.
I wish I could give a like at the beginning AND the end of the video...one thumbs up doesn't seem to be enough to show how good they are. Awesome work and thank you for it..
As a builder/engineer myself - it is actually insulting to everyone's intelligence to think that lines and surfacing like that could be accomplished by copper chisels. I've done decades of hand work with wood and stone in remote wilderness projects where only hand tools can be used; and I would say that even if they were working with wood or other soft materials, the precision, linear fluidity, and surface finish on these objects would be impossible even in modern times with nothing but hand tools. Outside of a well stocked and prepared shop devoted to small scale projects with modern tools made from steel, carbide, and diamond. I have NO DOUBT that ancient people were intelligent enough to design and conceptually formulate such objects and buildings. Constructing a pyramid and the math required to do that isn't the problem, that's something that you could conceptually teach a novice today in short time. Its the tooling and the actual execution of the perfection of the lines in stones that are much harder than the available cutting tools. You can't even cut granite blocks reliably today without diamond bandsaws and or high pressure abraded water cutters. It's actually crazy to believe anyone did this with the tools being attributed to it.
They aren't really honest questions though. Not when you consider that we have a really good idea, if not straight up know, how most of these things were created.
@@averroes1216 Copper versus granite, non-starter. Then I saw a vid on Utube where the copper saw was merely a mechanism for getting a cutting powder into grooves, and it was actually the abrading that cut the stone. But- -it's one thing for a beaming archaeologist to demonstrate his theory working on one groove in one wee rock, it's entirely another to create all those pyramids and things; to perfection. (And no, I don't believe that unlimited manpower could do it. I also don't believe in flying-saucer guys, time travellers, or God, gods, goddesses and/or godlings.)
Knowledge and discovery can not be stopped by few people clinging to what they learned their whole lives. When the main stream archeology stops the progress of discovery and knowledge people find other ways themslves to progress leaving the mainstream far behind. They are becoming a laughing stock very rapidly. Superb work Ben. Here is where the history and science is making progress now. We have left mainstream and everyone who support it far behind. Anything they are saying to discredit the efforts of people like Ben will not be heared by anyone. Great work on vase scan. loved it. By my opinion it was the final nail on the mainstream coffin.
The real world relies on evidence. Scanning some object with an unknown history and telling people to believe something. Does that seem rational? It is good for Ben's profit scheme.
As a CNC Programmer and Applications Engineer I cannot wrap my head around how this was done without modern tooling and or some form of machining . Also they would have to machine the tools they used as well . The creation process of the saws and cutting tools 🛠 is very involved.
Gio Baby Official: It is simple. Just search UA-cam for "professor Joseph Davidovits", you will get many videos he published about the ancient stony structures. He proved that all the stony things were cement concrete. That is, no carving and cutting had taken place.
@@legpolyeah but what about the exotic stones ? Thats stuff cant be molded into those shapes like concrete . The exotic stones like marble , etc can’t be molded like cement .
@@GioBaby : You were talking about moulding the exotic stones. No, I was not talking that. What I talked was moulding the cement concrete. Like the small artifacts such as jars and bowls, they were moulded with cement concrete. They were not carved nor cut from marble or granite.
@@cf6965 :You will also know if you look for erosions. Let us look at the stones at 3:38. The erosion on the stones has revealed that they were originally covered with a thin layer of cement concrete. I believe, logically and instinctively human beings would have used the same cement concrete to build the inside of the stones. If you agree, then it was an easy job to get the surfaces unbelievably smooth as shown by these same stones, both inside and outside. Please look at the 2 knobs on the stone at the right hand side. The knobs should have proven that they were the inside body, the moulded cement concrete, covered with a layer of cement concrete. If you apply this erosion theory to Egyptian stone boxes, you will easily understand why the boxes have smooth surfaces and sharp angles both inside and outside. That is, all the stony structures in Egypt are cement concrete structures.
Stumbled upon this video and I love it. Very well presented and compelling. Outstanding work and kudos to everyone involved. As you can imagine, I am of an engineering/construction mindset myself. Mostly with heavy metals and concrete. Two things really jump out at me about the construction of the boxes. From experience I can tell you that the measuring devices they used must have been incredible. That level of precision is difficult to achieve today with lasers. And then to have the tools to cut that precisely on basalt and granite is unbelievable. I find the polishing question to be particularly interesting as well. If the boxes are cut from one piece, and I'm assuming they are, to be able to get a mirror finish on the INSIDE of the box is truly unimaginable. It has to have been some sort of liquid. Some sort of naturally occurring acid maybe. Lastly, I share your disdain and mistrust of the "main stream" science community. I've always said that the biggest problem with the sciences has always been the scientists. Their egos are immense and they are unbelievably immature. They hide evidence and anything else that could raise questions in their narrative.
Agree, just three weeks ago I had to use a diamond plated chisel to lay a stone path. Boss gave me a 15minutes speech before he handed me the tool. Just to make very sure I understand the value of the tool.
Wow! That’s a lot of common sense. If those tools were left there when something happened, then “first come first served”... those tools were long gone, they were the first treasure for the first finders.
But wouldn't those same tools, from this time period, then be found elsewhere? Have any tools _that_ old, which could be used for such a huge job, ever been found, anywhere?
@@futurez12 yes, actually in the middle east near Jerusalem there have been metal tools found that are over 7,000 years old. Tools have been around since humans have been alive. And noone actually knows that exact date
Agree with a lot of points here. Other than say many of these cuts can be explained by tools elsewhere. The type of precision. Drilling for bore holes and the intricacy some of the joins for the stone cannot be expanded by technology anywhere in the world at that time. Your still talking production on a level that we can easily reproduce today. Some of the stone mines in Italy for instance. There are plenty examples around the world not just the biggest obvious sites
The stone cutting techniques is an enigma for sure. But what is even more puzzeling to me is the logistics: how can one set up production lines, transports, and coordinate all the sub-projects to be ready simultanous while satisfying all tolerance bounds etc. How did they feed all the workers, how did they organize lavatories so that diseses would ’t spread? These may seem as minor problems, easy to handle with some clever planning, but it is not. There are concerns of bottle necks in the production, accidents, tension among workers, missunderstandings in the internal communicatons and so on.
I tend to not be troubled by the entrenched academics taking their precious time to discredit the "fringe" elements. People such as yourself are doing a great service to mankind by laying out the arguments and allowing the general public to decide what to believe. For me, the exploration of our origins matters most. Interesting indeed. Many thanks!
@@ruffanuff leave your political incendiaries under your pillow man.... This kinda thing supersedes pathetic political agendas. We just want to know the truth.
I'm pretty sure the rough hieroglyphs inscribed onto the beautiful glossy statues were done at a much later date by kings who just wanted to assert their ownership over them, so they didn't care about the quality of the markings
I think when they got it right, they scratched the formula/recipe for how they come up with the correct aggregate content, to heat, and time in the kiln, which are the granite boxes, fired by the pyramidical blast furnaces... Oh, and by humans 12'-15' tall, and 27× stronger than even you, and I! You got another theory, I wanna know?
Puma Punku was demolished by massive flood. If you look at Google maps you can see it sits right in the center of a valley. Now how they were made is beyond my comprehension and still leaves me in awe.
26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Fantastic video. As an engineer, although it be electrical, your assumptions seem reasonable. I don't really understand why or how this 'mainstream' science do not accept something that seems so rational? The detail and angle precision is immaculate on these artifacts.
Human civilizations has started, grown, prospered and have been destroyed and lost. The simplest answer is usually the correct one. Hierarchy and establishment write the history and text books.
snarknado wrong Yeshua Mashiach is the son of G-d as in the disciples prayer when He said our Father who art in Heaven He recognized G-d as His Father not as Himself
We learned in school that new findings and progress has often been supressed in favour of the status quo in the past. What they did not teach us was that they are still doing it. If you do not accept new information you can not call it science, you have to call it dogma!
@@j377yb33n Remember that Occam's razor is not proof, it is only a guideline for directing your efforts for proof. It makes little sense to heavily investigate unlikely paths, but if evidence disproves or poorly supports the theory with the fewest assumptions, you move on to the next most likely, and so on. That said, it is important in science to refute things on facts, rather than on dogma, and to be prepared to challenge even the most respected theories when new evidence comes along. If the new theories seem unlikely, however, don't expect people to get around to it too quickly.
@@simonmonk7266 which is more like religious dogma: coming to the conclusions formed over centuries of information and experience and research or blankly following a specific idea with very little if any evidence while hiding behind playing devils advocate.
I had no idea this wonderful channel was available to us. Saw you on Joe Rogan and subscribed as soon as I found you. Thank you for helping to make us all reconsider the dogma that is generally accepted. Nothing better than free thinking. Huge fan and I will recommend your videos without hesitation.
I have talked to different engineers at work who individually have 30 years of experience or more under their belt, and they each individually said that even with today's technology, we would not be able to move these blocks around, let alone transport them hundreds or thousands of kms. Even the largest crane would not be able to lift these. One engineer said that the largest thing they (at his company) ever moved was a giant generator that weighed a fraction of what these blocks weigh, yet they had a lot of trouble moving this generator, it was almost too large for current abilities. They also agreed with my questions of how they moved these huge monolithic blocks around as using rollers, for example, made of tree trunks, for example, would not be possible as the sheer weight would crush and wear these down before they moved a single block very far, yet they were moving these blocks around back then over long distances over various terrain at a good amount of speed, because if they moved these very slowly, they'd still be building all of these things to this day. Some say that to cut one of these blocks on all six sides with current tools, such as diamond blades, could take days and wear through many diamond blades. I used a motor driven high speed diamond blade to cut granite rock -- I made 12" x 12" (approx). I cut flat areas into the side of this sloped rock in order to make a place to put in rebar and a concrete cardboard tube form which would be the foundation for a building post. It took me hours and hours and hours to cut slots into the rock which I then hit with a hammer to knock out. Then repeat. Took me days of this. It was utterly tiresome holding this beast of a machine while it screamed and very slowly cut through the rock. The jackhammer barely made a dent in the rock, so I had to use the diamond blade. I spent days making 4 of these flat spots. So, granite is not as hard as many of the types of rock we see in this video. What I'm saying is, even if we used powerful high-speed diamond blades, we still wouldn't be able to make blocks as fast as it seems the ancient people did [if you look at the sheer number of these blocks, they would still be building the pyramids if they were as slow as this diamond blade of mine]. Plus my water-fed diamond blade is circular, goes over 5000 rpm, cuts to a depth of about 5-7". So, imagine how large a saw would need to be to cut a section of rock that is 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet. Today we'd probably have some kind of diamond bladed chainsaw to do this, changing the chain frequently. It would cost a fortune and a long time. You'd literally have to turn it on, then walk away, come back every two hours to put a new chain on and do this for days on end. Then flip the giant rock to cut the next side. Sure, it seems possible, but not very easy, and hardly feasible in any practical sense. Even if there were thousands of people all with water-fed diamond bladed saws dedicated to just producing rock from the quarry, there were not enough humans available to make it possible to produce that many blocks in that amount of time. And as you can see in the photos, they could also cut INTO the rock in order to make a box, how the fuck did they do that if they were using straight two-man cross-cut saws similar to he ones loggers used to cut trees down? No idea. Maybe they used acid to melt the rock. I don't know...
Two methods are shown on Fall of Civilization channel - Easter island ... tree rolling , and walking the blocks . What do your friends think of it I’m wondering ? There are 80 ton blocks in the quarry still , and half way from the quarry . 200 of them made it 20km , and 800 didn’t Certainly proves they were carved (soft rock) and moved (not cement like the french documentary ) . 100+ ton blocks were moved . Amazing
You are wrong .. we have the technology to move things that weigh a 1000 tons ... we have large cranes that can do this ... but the Ejyptians or who ever made these things didnt have large cranes ... And you are wrong in your idea of Humans making blocks .. it has been done by human hands.. Or Aliens or space men we will never really know If modern man was to build a copy of the great pyramid it could be easily done with todays technology ..

I really hope millions of people watch your video so we point more awareness to our real past. I think it is a key to deal with what expects us in the future.
Absolutely agree that those awesome works on stone where made with highly advance precision machinery. But who made them? Obviously and advance society. If not ancient aliens, then only one possibility: the builders were our ancestors tho thrived and made amazing things way before the ice age, an awesome human civilization that inhabited this Planet way before the ice age, way before that asteroid hit Earth, long before the great flood that all old cultures tell us about. It seems that Hancok might be right. There was a civilization here that reached sophistication, but was unable to prevent its demise from a cataclysmic event that wiped them. The pyramids, Stonehenge, Puma Punku, Gobleki Tepe and all those megalithic sites around the Globe are remnants of that old really ancient civilization of our ancestors. They could really build stuffs, understand the stars and the universe way better than us today. Who build those awesome sites? Our ancestors way back in time. Unfortunately, they were almost wiped out. Lights out indeed for years no end, till the few survivors barely made it out and had to begin mankind from practically from scratch, just like hunter gatherers, but the Pyramids and Goblekli Tepe, Malta and all those sites were already there because of the perfect way they were built. The world was different. resilient humans started again and here we are in mid 2022, pondering on what those stones are and who build them those sites and how. (my humble opinion)
It’s so hard to comprehend how precise these objects are because where did the long timeline of tools developed that’s necessary to create them go to? It makes them seem like the creation of something more magical than the modern tools and methods that we use to relate to them.
I've been all over Peru and Bolivia, seen the walls of cuzco and been to Macchu PIcchu.... things just don't make sense as to how they try and explain them. Hand tools did not do it.
agree, been to many Peru sites (not Bolivia), something must see to appreciate the scale and the difficulty of moving 100+ ton stones from 100(0)s km to these locations. the technology used to shape these stones in multiple angles/planes, fitted with -mm precision, they are not production line products, they are each individually cut/fitted with precision like a super fine watch. who ever did these amazing works 👍👍👍👍👍 what ever tools were used???? we probably can't even do it today.
Simple plan logic. Why can't the critic's see it? Some time's the evidence is right before you. Yet they will deny it. Poor vinegar on a stone and it will soften it over time. So many questions need to be addressed about our ancient past. You seem to find even puzzling questions every time some thing or place of the antiquity is found. I love ancient history, but sometimes things are found that make no sense. How do that so long ago. Ancient Greek story about the human race. First God made the golden people. They lived for thousands of years, but they couldn't reproduce them selves. They eventually die out. The 2nd people God creates their the silver people. They lived very long lives and could reproduce them. After an extremely long time. They became evil and corrupted. So, God got rid of them. After a long time and with deep though. The 3rd people were called the bronze people... They are us, all the people in world. Now is that true???
As an aircraft structural craftsman, we would use a technique Calle "chain drilling" to cut through tough materials in an awkward area. You would drill a hole at each end of a line you would want to cut and then continue drilling holes very close until you removed most of the material between the two points. The small uniform holes along a line remind me of this technique.
RIGHT THATS IT..... I'm in. These presentations are amazing. I love listening to historians because they make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck when they describe the complexity of civilisation in such an unfathomable distant past; and I love the significance of how civilisations shaped the social and religious framework we are living with or trying to cope with today. But this is utterly midblowing; the thought that there may have been intelligence over 6000 years ago that developed technology that we have only re-discovered in the industrial age to build these colossal monuments is just incredible. I love it. I have to say at first I thought this was another conspiracy type, atlantis, aliens thing. But no, you are presenting facts like a paper for peer review. Thank you and good luck. Man I really want to go to Egypt now.
There is much more information than you can imagine. People think the Smithsonian is just a big museum. Its run by the the government and thats where all the stuff that doent fit with the story they feed us, is stashed.
I feel its done on purpose. Authorities don’t want to examine the idea of a very advance society before what we think of the Egyptians. It would mess with so many religions its just kept in secret, or we’re told everything was down with copper chisels, from around 4000 BC, or bowls that clearly couldn’t be made even with our technology, is dated with what was found around it, or the “tagging” on it.
@@koolerking440 "Authorities"?? Who, exactly? Are you talking about the current elected and self-appointed leaders around the world? They are cooperating to hide information from the rest of the world? Or do you mean leaders in different religions, around the world, have agreed what will be taught and what will be hidden? Or, no, you mean the archeologists and scientists around the world have met and agreed on the "official story" that will be told, everything else will be hidden? And this world-wide conspiracy has been maintained across generations, new elections, new appointments, hundreds of years, with new scientists studying history and facts, they're all in on the big scam?

Oh they would be shamed for lying all these years about the truth. My opinion they should man up and accept they were wrong and move on and stop hiding the truth.
@@StephenTinius no, that's not how it works. What happens is people accept the status quo and anything that isn't what they accept or "discover" they rail against. Because of pride. The father son duo that suggested a meteor wiped out the dinosaurs, for 20 years they were called crazy and heretics.... Now it's accepted.
I’m a stonemason in the granite side off stone , I fully support your views , even today you can see what a tradesperson does to a piece off stone , all off us shape and use tools differently , it’s like a painter , the eye and stroke off a brush is very difficult to copy , I totally agree two different tribes has laid hands on them blocks
Thanks for the great close up shots of the stone work. Your videos are phenomenal, far better because we actually get to see what you are seeing. Keep up the great work!
Ben’s work is consistent, brilliant and always informative. I appreciate the quality and depth of these analyses and productions. That Aussie accent, tho…. =)
I'm a machinist, and from the few close-ups I could see, alot of the markings on the stone, seems exactly like the same marks you get when you cut a steel bar on an automated saw with coolant. Also the surface on the round objects looks like they were cut with a constant feed (31:48). Even on a lathe if you move the feed by hand, you can clearly tell by the surface that it wasnt cut with the feed on. Having that said. I have no experience with cutting stone, and it's possible that they used something else. But I personally believe that the "mainstream" eqyptian archaeological explanations are horseshit. But really you should be able to measure your way out of it. If you turn an aluminum pibe that is 60mm in diameter, and dont use an indicator along the way, any type of precision close to 0.02mm is impossible to achieve. Thus, if any of these ancients "parts" are too precise, there are mathematical rules that bind them to have been made with more than simple tools. Of course I would only ever make any serious opinions based on what I know. Which is metal, not stone :).
Stone is a hard material but steel or metal has toughness or rugged structure so it has a more stable makeup...making it more difficult to grind, cut, shape, etc. Stone, on the other hand, lacks toughness making in easier to break due to it's brittleness. When stone is heated it will become weak and can easily crumble if enough heat were applied...especially if rapid cooling were to occur. The oxygen content makes this possible. If heated, stone can be worked using heat and ice, which should have been plentiful in the higher elevations. Just a thought... Remember Carthage and Hannibal's army. They cut through mountain passes to surprise the Roman battalions. Quite the feat.
@@marcmyers1465 have you considered a swing hammer or large chisel type device...sort of a pendulum. It sounds preposterous but if the surface were softened or weakened somehow... The swing would be an arc, yes, but if it were to move slightly on each swing or if the base material were nudged...much like a milling machine table moves along by way of a lead screw... It's pure speculation but it would be an interesting experiment, I think. Small scale would be a possible introduction.
@@thomask940 One must be careful with the use of the word "worked" because it could be taken as having no limit to what it means, but in the case your refer to (heat and ice) the use would be very limited to splitting stone, which is not the same as 'sculpting' stone or shaping it into smooth forms.
@@thomask940 Logic expects that it had to have been employed or else quarrying would have been impossible, even for limestone. It needed to be smoothly 'cut' and that would have required a heavy saw that swung back and forth at the end of a pendulum. If it were a crescent shaped 'blade' of bronze or some hard alloy embedded with crushed jewels or just quartz then it would abraid a stone surface little by little and at a controllable rate that would be slow but steady, -all depending on the hardness of the jewel grit and the weight of the blade. A very heavy blade would cut the fastest.
I've been following UnchartedX for a long time now. It is one of the best ancient history channels on UA-cam, if not THE best, as far as I'm concerned. Ancient advanced civilizations is a truly fascinating and important topic. Especially considering the overwhelming evidence of a more advanced and far longer human history. The least I can do to help is comment to try and make the videos more viable to the mystical cyber algorithms that be.
I find it interesting that you can see dotted lines for breaking out pieces of stones, a method that feels humanly possible, and then all of a sudden you have saw marks that seems to have cut stone with fairly high speeds when it comes to the finer details. All these massive stones with tons to it's weight, and all the confidence in the art of all these statues and such, and the amount, it all suggests to me that these people at that time had some really solid machinery. Now, I don't know how many RPM you can make a 11 meter saw blade go around with manpower, but it feels like they either had some way to do it or had some kind of an energy source. I just get these crazy images in front of me seeing ancient people with robes and stuff working on statues with electric saws plugged in to the walls, lol.
Why is it hard to imagine that these creations were made by Advanced beings that were not from this World. It would be hard to create the perfect cuts in a stone that is harder than Granite TODAY.
Hi Ben, absolutley love your content. Do you ever hold talks/debates in Australia? I think I remember you saying you reside in the states now? Very interested if you hold any conferences etc and hope to join you in tour one day 😊
Hi Ben, I enjoy your videos greatly. This is my first comment to a video ever mostly because I didn't know how to leave a comment, so I asked my daughter how and here it is. Since you have visited the Giza pyramid complex have you seen the out buildings that no one ever addresses? The buildings that look from google earth like lumps of stone with a single round vent in the middle. What are these and could they support the power plant theory?
@I DON'T WANNA FIGHT WITH U Why did you make this comment? They clearly had the word theory in there. Who cares what other Pyramids were for. Do you know what it hasn't been proven to be? A tomb, loser.
@@woke...since....yesterdayone have been “proven” to be tombs either. Yet that’s what the main stream believe them To be. Or do they? That’s more ridiculous to many of use than the theory that it is a machine. In fact ask an engineer what they think of the three great pyramids on the inside and out. The rooms, long strange corridors, etc. Most, if not all, will say it looks to be some sort of machine with a purpose. None will say they are tombs unless they simply believe what the main stream archaeologist say about them. Cheers

Thank You guy’s, very nice work. Ever since I did my studies 35 years ago, I never believed what scientist saying about ancient Egyptians working with granite.
What evidence? If you didn't notice, he didn't provide any evidence. He only provided speculation, his ignorance towards the real evidence and his interpretation of lack of some evidence. But the author of this video didn't provide actually any piece of evidence.
@@pablomachine2607 Yes he did, people argue that these were done with the bronze tools that the Egyptians had at the time and that's just stupid, they could not make these kind of precise cuts into granite stone and stone harder than granite with a bronze saw and chisel, it would not look like that, not to mention how they smooth it out.
@@judahofjudea4601 Actually he didn't provide any evidence. Speculations are not evidence, you know. Primitive cultures all around the world have cut and shaped granite and other stones, but somehow the ancient Egyptians couldn't have done it? "Not to mention how they smooth it out"? Really dude? Take two rocks and rub them together, it's the same principle as in sand paper, if you've ever heard of sandpaper. And see what happens. To make it more high tech, put sand on a rock and rub it with something, with a piece of wood, another rock, a piece of copper, whatever. There you have some ancient high technology that people like you never could have thought of 🤣
There’s a huge difference in the quality of the writing. Would be interesting to see someone now produce the deep, precisely cut hieroglyphs on the obelisks (say) with copper chisels. Consequently, it would be interesting to know what the high quality hieroglyphs say. If the ancient Egyptians inherited a built but broken ghost city, did they not also inherit its written language? As they appropriated it’s buildings for religion and burial, did they also appropriate its writing to define themselves and legitimise their power.....?
I agree with your discussion of the establishment’s resistance to accept obvious result based evidence without finding the tools themselves, but as another has already said, who leaves their tools/equipment behind at a jobsite? I believe in part its the scientific method itself that holds us back from progress on this front; conclusions can not be made unless direct evidence is found. As such, though we know egyptians had wheels on chariots, since we didn’t find wheels left behind in construction or any apparatus, pulleys and such, but we did find sledges, then we can only conclude that they moved blocks on sledges, and must state that “Egyptians didn’t have the wheel.”
There is a story (probably apocryphal) about an anthropologist who based his entire career on the significance of a “religious fetish” found in multiple sites in South America. Imagine how he felt when one of his students spotted a villager making nets with a tool identicalto the “religious fetish”.
It's hokum made by someone who's clearly never made a thing in his life - a physical, handmade thing, that is. To be fair, this documentary is well produced, it's the content that's problematic. All of these things were well within the grasp of ancient craftspeople. It just required patience and time. Keep in mind that the Egyptians had been crafting things from stone for centuries. It stands to reason that they may have gotten pretty good at it, especially when incented by wealthy nobles and kings willing to pay top dollar for it.
@@nickk6267 Go ahead and refute any of his points then instead of vague waffling. Do you think the geologists and engineers commenting on the video are disagreeing with you because??
@@charleswalker2484 I think they're either lying about their credentials or wildly incompetent. I'm an engineer, and say with compete confidence that this stuff is bullshit. All of it. Oh and I don't need to refute it. That's the galling thing: 5 lazy minutes of searching Google will turn up volumes of legitimate research that answers all of these supposed mysteries. This guy is just gifting gullible UA-camrs to get paid.
Even e.t. cutting / drilling technology probably couldn't achieve that rate, -unless it applied stone softening measures to the stone mass to make it softer for the tool. I suspect their tools employed a combination of technologies working synergistically. Have you yet absorbed the extensive information about ancient Egyptians stone cutting-drilling found at Chris Dunn's website (gizapower.com)? It's a great educational source, with links to other sources.
@@redwoodcoast There is certainly an "unknown factor" involved in how they managed to cut at that rate. One idea is that they had some kind of technology that dramatically softened the rock. It would account for some of the findings but softening bedrock insitu is unimaginable to us in this world.
@@redwoodcoast probably some sort of magnetic pulse through the cutting head that disables molecular bond. like hydrolysis of water into hydrogen/oxygen
@@69mrnikolai I don't know of any molecular disruption caused by magnetism, but I believe that stone cutting or slicing was done via disruption through the cutting head. I assume it was sonic resonant frequency hyper stimulation via vibration that over-stimulated the molecular bonds with excess energy....like the wine glass shattered by a powerful voice.
Time and religion can do the job that you can't imagine they could do. Remember, they were us with different tools. They didn't have lasers, they had plumb lines
Maybe by now you have seen footage on YT of people using copper tools and sound vibrations to cut into very hard materials. If not, it is worth looking at. Really enjoying your presentation of your research
Ben, i think your editing and narrating on ALL of your videos is top notch. I appreciate your level of dedication to this topic and the world is better off for having these videos and all your research. You're doing great work. Thank you
After seeing part 2 I want to thank you for helping me understand what I have pondered for nearly 50 years. When I worked as as an apprentice stone mason many years ago (72?)I bought Peter Tomkins Secrets of the Great Pyramid. That was an eye opener for sure and the comment by Petrie from his time in Egypt stated that his take on the precision was of optical precision on a scale of acres. The tools we see did do the work They did but not the stone work they inherited. The Incas also inherited the megalithic stones and their work is reflected in what we see in Peru. The precision we see has another story that we can only ponder on. The enormous statues in Egypt and the absolute symmetry of the faces confirms in my mind that the work was done to inspire humans. I still think the work is Devine in nature. Humans don't do perfection only strive to accomplishment it. The weight and precision represents a checkmate if you will. Humans can do one or the other but not both and I feel it represents infinity which is what we call God. I can only share that I get a sense of wonder thinking about when the Spanish finally got to Cuzco and saw the walls covered with gold foil and thought they had all become RICH. Great Work! Ne plus ultra
I like these videos because they dont try to feed me rubbish Only facts or clearly stated when it is opinion and I appreciate that 👍✌️ It is absalutly mind blowing how these things were shaped and transported I love trying to figure it out in my mind and listening to others opinions to help me along and much appreciated 👍✌️
@@MrAchile13 No, we're not saying the object isn't possible to make today. We're saying the level of precision is unexplainable by supposedly ancient tools that we know of.
@@MrAchile13 WHAT HAVE THE ROMANS EVER DONE FOR US?! ...well OK, that vessel and those sarcophagi are quite impressive... but WHAT HAVE THE ROMANS EVER DONE FOR US?! :)
It's all opinion! This why the world sucks. Because people cant distinguish between an opinion and evidence. Do I need to get a dictionary to tell you the difference? Do me a favor look up the definition of the word fact...
MrAchile13 , we could add that the quarries in Mons Porphyrites were only developed in Roman times, by Romans. There are no pre-Roman porphyry objects larger than a cobble - they did not know where the rare porphyry blocks found in the desert came from. Many traces of Roman engineering are still to be seen in the area, bun nothing older.
I hate when archeologists resort to, "where are the tools?"... Go to the empire state building, burj khalifa, or any modern structure and try to find the tools used to build it. Workers take their tools when they're done. There's obviously a gap in our knowledge of our ancestors
Archaeologists have found ancient Egyptian tools, which you can see in the Cairo Museum. Their future counterparts, sifting through the ruins of our civilization may well find a few examples of our tools, where circumstances favored their preservation. If there was an ancient Precursor Civilization, we haven't yet found any of the "other stuff" archaeologists usually find: houses, trash middens, burials, tools and weapons, jewelry, pottery, etc.. Maybe all that stuff is in places we haven't looked yet (offshore, because sea levels were lower, along river beds that flowed before the Younger Dryas, but are under desert sand now, etc.), but a Precursor Civilization hypothesis probably won't find much acceptance until we do.
I think you are missing the point. Maybe try; where are the tools ancestors? why can we no longer do these things? besides, workers on modern building sites discard worn out and broken tools, not always in the skip. These would be found in the soil around and under the buildings, even within voids in the structure itself such as cavity walls. Archaeologists are forever digging up tools, flints, stone axes, etc. Even antlers, let alone metal ones. you are suggesting all the sites examined were forensically cleaned of all tools broken or not?
@alex gould I'm neither a scientist or archeologist, it's not on me to prove anything. I just think it's ridiculous to assume everything from the ancient world was built using pounding stones and copper chisels, when you can clearly see the marks indicating very different tools were used. Even back in the 90's, I think it was some Egyptologists tried recreating the tube drill and copper saws on limestone. Even though it took them all day to grind a couple inches, the marks they left on the stone were not the same marks we see in other ancient work. There's alot of evidence of ancient circular saws as well, with over cuts in statues, granite boxes/sarcophagus and the basalt floor at the Giza plateau. It's too much to ignore and worse to attribute this work to copper chisels and saws. It just doesn't fit
I always get a kick out of them claiming the egyptians used wood sleds, wetting the sand in front of it in able to move massive stones. One of the biggest obelisks weighs 1,100 TONS. They have no idea of what happens to wood at that kind of load. Hint... it turns into something like paper.
Egyptologists worst fear is that tour guide holding his little cup of water, it's like being a Vietnamese soldier and suddenly hearing fortunate son blasting on the horizon.
I hate the use of the phrase "main stream archaeology" which immediately suggests that the presenter denies the academic work of highly qualified people - even though he says he doesn't.. We seem to be in a time when experts are derided. But I disagree, those who spend their lives studying a subject are the experts, the ones deserving our respect, and for my money, the ones who are worth listening to.
Wish I could like this twice! The part where you said Yousef has never seen any evidence of power tools being used for the glyphs as opposed to the monuments themselves.
After what the world has gone through over the last few years I no longer have any problems whatsoever with “conspiracy theories” or people questioning the powers that be
Copper is a relative soft material. I believe the copper tools they've found from back then are a bit of another "composition" and a bit harder then the pure copper we have today. But still it should be relatively soft compared to stones like granite etc. But shouldn't there be copper leftovers need to be found on these stones when copper tools were used? I could imagine, looking at the softness of coper, that there must be copper leftovers need to be found on hard stones like that, especally on "grainy" surfaces. Like the way sandpaper looks after sanding some wood for example. It still contans a lot of "wood" particals then. Same goes for filing softer materials like copper. Copper particles will always be left on the file.
The amazing thing is that these scoops and protuberances are found on every megalithic site and every continent,,so I think the first round of humans built these before the continents broke up,,they were bigger and better and farther with technology than we are now.
An excellent video. Thanks! After watching hundreds of similar videos over the years there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the ancient Egyptians and other civilizations did indeed inherit the works of much more highly advanced civilizations that lived many thousands if not millions of years before. I look forward to your second video highlighting the lathe technologies that were used along with the seemingly CNC type machining done on statues, etc resulting in perfect symmetry. It’s all absolutely fascinating.
Perfect symmetry would be easy with as simple a tool as a piece of string. Hold it to one side--hold it to the other, and keep chiseling until it is level. Not to mention that modern craftsmen have no problem getting symmetry even to this day--the more you do it the more you develop an eye for it, tools or no.
Or, they invented it. I guess it's because they're African. Hell, aristotle, pythagoras and others were taught by Africans. Yet they acted like they thought of it. That's why they're theorems, not facts. Black people didn't make everything, but we made a lot. Nothing but facts. Hidden Colors.....
@@carlotta4th As a man who has worked construction through several skilled trades (masonry and carpentry) for 30 years now ....what you posit is preposterous. Those stone blocks weighing 50 tons, 100 tons, 200 tons + are impossible to make with todays power tools on the scale that they are made...nor is there a crane anywhere on Earth that can pick up a 200 ton stone and place it anywhere..even 10 feet away from where it was miraculously quarried. Also, the stone and wooden tools alleged to have been used would be worthless for cutting these bedrock sedimantary stones...even today, we must use power tools with metal blades covered in tiny diamonds to produce this level of craftmanship on much, much smaller stones. Forget about trying to build a giant diamond lathe to turn these perfectly round 100 ton columns...we cannot do so in 2023, yet we put humans on the moon...
@@marcthomas5641We, as a species, have one construction crane on the planet that can lift and carry 5000 tonnes. Its name is Big Carl. It is currently being used to construct the nuclear power facility, Hinkley Point C, in the UK. This thing takes 30 minutes to complete a full rotation. 100 tonne lifts are often done by the smaller cranes on-site because of the amount of time it takes the larger crane to operate. They did a lift of a 388 tonne precast concrete ring that required 118 tonnes of tackle making the lift 506 tonnes. I couldn't imagine what/how heavy the tackle would be to just move let alone stand 1000 tonne obelisk. We could do it today if we spent 10 years engineering the crane and the purpose built tackle to accomplish the lift and another 3-5 years building the crane. Our species at its current point would never spend that kind of resource for constructing something that didn't have direct economic benefits.
@41:50 I believe the reason the etchings on this box look rough is because they are an outline for the envisioned finished shape. If looked at from the end and corner it gives the outline which would produce a very nice shape finished with the rims, lips and curved edges the rectangles usually step inwards which is why I'm thinking this piece had a long way to go yet and not so much a younger civilisation defacing the box.
Great vid! Reminds me of the book "Dead Men's Secrets" by Jonathan Gray. In it (amongst over 900 other ancient high tech 'anomolies') he mentions a South American bird which uses the sap of a leaf from a particular plant to soften rock in which it then makes a hollow for its nest. Makes one wonder which one knew the process first - man or animal? Nice work btw.
"Dr. Jones....Once again we see that there is nothing you possess that I cannot take away..." Loved the warehouse scene at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark...👍
I watch a lot of historical shows and have never really looked into it, but have become more and more skeptical about ancient building methods. I'm always surprised how many archaeologists and historians are adamant that certain things are fact. The ones that interest me the most are open to different possibilities
I hope someone reads this I have worked in the steel manufacturing business and placing of large granite stones for monuments what I have seen in this video shows a very technical skill acquired by people that lived and died thousands of years ago we just recently acquired the skill 4 to 800 years ago word is actually written down please take this video very seriously and understand......
The ability to work and move stone was never completely lost. From the Egyptians to the Greeks to the Romans there are great works all around. With the collapse of the Roman empire much was lost in Europe, but in the Middle East and India great stonework continued, all you need to do is look at the mosques and temples. With the crusades knowledge "lost" in Europe was brought back and the great cathedrals and more were built using this knowledge. I do agree that these people were master craftsman and artisans. It's truly remarkable what they built using simple tools and principles and their hands.
We didn't aquire the skill... We invented machines to do the heavy lifting. Skill and ability are not the same. How many assumptions are you losers going to make. Just because something is heavy doesn't mean we couldn't make them.... Look into stone age tools.
@@michaelglover9214 nobody said we couldn't make them, as we obviously did at some point. Don't put words in people's mouths and be offensive if you're wrong, it's not a good look.
thank you so much, for digging in an honest manner, and investigating in a way that adds onto the already megalithic mountain of evidence for the use of high technology on these sites. your points are clear, unemotional, and immediately challenging. can't thank you enough.
Great content, thank you! Just my opinion: People who study in order to pass an exam at some University memorize content. People who have worked in their field for many years have gained experience and an eye for good or bad work, they know what they are talking about and they can back it up. Due to experience they become experts in their craft. Imagine this: Someone who just read books, which are entirely based on theories and misinformation, passes his or hers exam and becomes a doctor of Egyptology. That's great! Congratulations! Even if you might be a doctor now, you are not qualified to judge the crafting technology of ancient Egypt. Leave that to qualified people who have worked in their craft for centuries. Wisdom and knowledge is equired over time and through experience. Your video backs it up. Thanks again.
I don't understand. Ben is a tour guide so why do you think he knows something about stone work. Here is another example. Let's say that Ben makes videos showing you the human brain. If you have a brain tumor, would you ask Ben for help or perhaps a doctor who has studied, and passed exams?
see this makes me curious about these climate change predictions that the earth will cook us all to death or kill the planet in x years. something tells me the earth might adapt better than us???

Truly amazing. The more “high tech” we become as a society, the less skill we maintain as individuals. Simple things become mysterious to us.
Exactly, programming a great example of this. So many high level languages built on top of lower level languages and things being abstracted away that many programmers would struggle to tell you how a computer works or how the hardware and software Interact. It's not an attack on their skill, it would take a lifetime just to become an expert on high level languages that are constantly having new features added etc. It's just an example of how basic knowledge can be lost.
I would never describe these feats as simple..
But I agree more people lose basic skills that could of contributed
Hey !!! You stole my statement!!! I've been saying this for a while now. The more technology we gain, the more we lose knowledge,skill, thinking, problem solving etc ..
A Good example is some of the government computers. I don't remember what had to be done or where, but it required contacting, and finding living people who programmed the computer. it was so antiquated that none of the programmers working there could figure it out..
The technology of today was known..
The old systems technology got thrown to the waist side, forgotten, and lost. I imagine over thousands of years there are technologies We now have no clue even existed. Just a thought 🤔
Some feats go beyond simply losing skills. Some achievements go beyond difficult and into impossible, or at the very least highly unlikely to be achieved by using hand tools alone, and without highspeed precision diamond or harder cutting tools. Try cutting, shaping, drilling and polishing granite to a high degree of precision and a mirror finish by hand, using primitive copper tools and sand. We are talking the precision of an engineer's flat edge engineered to withing less that one tenth of a human hair thickness. Try achieving that degree of accuracy on a granite stone statue, sarcophagus or monolith by hand with primitive copper tools.
I wanna take a moment to appreciate the watermarks you put in the footage stating what site or object is being shown, they really make researching and referencing easier!

Graffiti.. lets call a spade a spade... even some of the sculptures are symmetrically identical.. and look like they were designed with CAD, or why else make a hand carved sculpture with straight an curved lines of identical replicated angles on both sides of a sculpted face, reality is not that perfect and only makes sense if using a computerised laid... An then there's the crudely chiselled carved attempts at lines in glyphs that look like cavemen's graffiti when compared to the angular symmetrical perfection beneath. Some of the glyphs I remember thinking, look perfectly carved with perfect arcs.. While others look almost as if drawn by kids with hammers and chisels. It's not a wild speculation to consider the graffiti neither done by same people, it's akin to vandalism, an most likely nor was it done in the same era as said original builders as they would of most likely considered it a crime worth punishing..
Pisses me off how later rulers desecrated these marvelous creations with crude graffiti

I recently started giving Graham Hancock more attention. After I watched his series on Netflix I immediately googled what mainstream archaeologists said about it. The first results I saw were he was "dangerous" and his ideas were "white supremacy." That's when I knew something was seriously wrong. You guys present very serious questions that demand a greater look at this and to dismiss these questions in such a way is not just unprofessional, it's anti-professional and exposes itself as an establishment that wants to keep a narrative in place.
Imo Graham Hancocks theories make much more sense than what the mainstream has led us to believe. The simple fact that the often dismiss the astrological connection to all of these sites, is ridiculous! Seems to me these people that want to continue to push their agenda are the real supremacy. It’s obvious there is a lost advanced ancient civilization
Egyptology is made up. These guys know nothing.
Exactly
I totally agree.
His ideas are dangerous, dangerously stupid. Like flat earthers. And the white supremacy comes from the main idea he's pushing originating from early Nazi groups lol. He's pushing the idea of a central group of people who taught the dumb colored people how to do things, and while he never outright says master race the entire basis is identical.
Reminds me of the area around the Sphinx;
When shown a picture of just the ground and walls...
Every Geologist: “Oh yeah, that looks like water erosion, definitely the result of heavy rainfall.”
Schock: “Well, this is the Sphinx enclosure, and heavy rains disappeared from that area several thousand years before the Egyptians. Isn’t that fascinating?.”
Every Geologust: “....oh....huh, well that’s weird, not a big deal though, the Egyptologists take care of all that.”
Every Egyptologist: “Schock is no longer allowed near the Sphinx, he’s promoting fringe theories.”
These people don’t like it when you challenge their status quo, which is a HUGE roadblock for advancement.
It calls mainstream funding into question
Why is it called Egyptology, not archaeology? It’s intentionally isolated for control.
@@kevinbuxton8577 Because (a) it is a specialized field, including archaeology and (b) some Egyptologist spend their lives studying papyri or drawing and paintings or other reminants. It undoubtedly is not "intentionally isolated". And anyone who wants to can get involved but you have to have some qualifications to join an investigation.
Anybody who wants to can wander around the Sphinx. I have. There are no guards.
The Sphinx is located quite a bit lower in elevation than The Pyramids and is carved out of the living limestone which is layer upon layer of flaking stone exposed to hot days and cold nights, wind and the water table it is a part of. Complete fairy tale that Sphinx is older than Pyramids. When you go to the site there is water under the great pyramid, in the funeral lower temple, and in the rock enclosure the sphinx sits in which is dug out of and down into the ground.

I opened this video expecting some crank "ancient aliens" nonsense, but instead it reminded me of the wonder, awe, and bemusement I felt as I child seeing a certain exhibit in a museum. It was a granite bowl, hollowed out inside so the hole was smaller than the volume, with a glassy smooth finish and absolutely perfect workmanship. A card said it was from before 3000BC. The next displays along were alabaster bowls dated 2000-3000BC, and they were beautiful but clearly more crude. Workmanship of the objects on display clearly improved as time went on but never to the level of that bowl.
This is just amazing stuff and I can't wait to see more.

So it is perfectly reasonable to assume things like ancient technology and civilizations more advanced than what official history says. And that is education.

Awesome work and thank you for it..
As a builder/engineer myself - it is actually insulting to everyone's intelligence to think that lines and surfacing like that could be accomplished by copper chisels. I've done decades of hand work with wood and stone in remote wilderness projects where only hand tools can be used; and I would say that even if they were working with wood or other soft materials, the precision, linear fluidity, and surface finish on these objects would be impossible even in modern times with nothing but hand tools. Outside of a well stocked and prepared shop devoted to small scale projects with modern tools made from steel, carbide, and diamond.
I have NO DOUBT that ancient people were intelligent enough to design and conceptually formulate such objects and buildings. Constructing a pyramid and the math required to do that isn't the problem, that's something that you could conceptually teach a novice today in short time. Its the tooling and the actual execution of the perfection of the lines in stones that are much harder than the available cutting tools. You can't even cut granite blocks reliably today without diamond bandsaws and or high pressure abraded water cutters. It's actually crazy to believe anyone did this with the tools being attributed to it.
What ia your theory about tools?
Thanks for a great, informative episode! So nice to hear someone state obvious questions about antiquities that are never addressed! Cheers!
They aren't really honest questions though. Not when you consider that we have a really good idea, if not straight up know, how most of these things were created.

Precision cut granite copper saw + polishing, duh 🙄
@@averroes1216 Copper versus granite, non-starter. Then I saw a vid on Utube where the copper saw was merely a mechanism for getting a cutting powder into grooves, and it was actually the abrading that cut the stone. But-
-it's one thing for a beaming archaeologist to demonstrate his theory working on one groove in one wee rock, it's entirely another to create all those pyramids and things; to perfection.

Here we go! Already can’t wait for part II
Knowledge and discovery can not be stopped by few people clinging to what they learned their whole lives. When the main stream archeology stops the progress of discovery and knowledge people find other ways themslves to progress leaving the mainstream far behind. They are becoming a laughing stock very rapidly. Superb work Ben. Here is where the history and science is making progress now. We have left mainstream and everyone who support it far behind. Anything they are saying to discredit the efforts of people like Ben will not be heared by anyone. Great work on vase scan. loved it. By my opinion it was the final nail on the mainstream coffin.
The real world relies on evidence. Scanning some object with an unknown history and telling people to believe something. Does that seem rational? It is good for Ben's profit scheme.
As a CNC Programmer and Applications Engineer I cannot wrap my head around how this was done without modern tooling and or some form of machining . Also they would have to machine the tools they used as well . The creation process of the saws and cutting tools 🛠 is very involved.
Gio Baby Official: It is simple. Just search UA-cam for "professor Joseph Davidovits", you will get many videos he published about the ancient stony structures. He proved that all the stony things were cement concrete. That is, no carving and cutting had taken place.
@@legpolyeah but what about the exotic stones ? Thats stuff cant be molded into those shapes like concrete . The exotic stones like marble , etc can’t be molded like cement .
@@GioBaby : You were talking about moulding the exotic stones. No, I was not talking that. What I talked was moulding the cement concrete. Like the small artifacts such as jars and bowls, they were moulded with cement concrete. They were not carved nor cut from marble or granite.
@@legpol
How do you know while everyone else doesn't, so how did they get the surface inside so unbelievable smooth no matter where you look ?
@@cf6965 :You will also know if you look for erosions. Let us look at the stones at 3:38. The erosion on the stones has revealed that they were originally covered with a thin layer of cement concrete. I believe, logically and instinctively human beings would have used the same cement concrete to build the inside of the stones. If you agree, then it was an easy job to get the surfaces unbelievably smooth as shown by these same stones, both inside and outside.
Please look at the 2 knobs on the stone at the right hand side. The knobs should have proven that they were the inside body, the moulded cement concrete, covered with a layer of cement concrete.
If you apply this erosion theory to Egyptian stone boxes, you will easily understand why the boxes have smooth surfaces and sharp angles both inside and outside. That is, all the stony structures in Egypt are cement concrete structures.
Stumbled upon this video and I love it. Very well presented and compelling. Outstanding work and kudos to everyone involved.
As you can imagine, I am of an engineering/construction mindset myself. Mostly with heavy metals and concrete. Two things really jump out at me about the construction of the boxes. From experience I can tell you that the measuring devices they used must have been incredible. That level of precision is difficult to achieve today with lasers. And then to have the tools to cut that precisely on basalt and granite is unbelievable.
I find the polishing question to be particularly interesting as well. If the boxes are cut from one piece, and I'm assuming they are, to be able to get a mirror finish on the INSIDE of the box is truly unimaginable. It has to have been some sort of liquid. Some sort of naturally occurring acid maybe.
Lastly, I share your disdain and mistrust of the "main stream" science community. I've always said that the biggest problem with the sciences has always been the scientists. Their egos are immense and they are unbelievably immature. They hide evidence and anything else that could raise questions in their narrative.
im a tradesman and if i leave a tool somewhere when i get back after 10 minutes, its gone. tools are valuable in any society and time .
Agree, just three weeks ago I had to use a diamond plated chisel to lay a stone path. Boss gave me a 15minutes speech before he handed me the tool. Just to make very sure I understand the value of the tool.
Wow! That’s a lot of common sense. If those tools were left there when something happened, then “first come first served”... those tools were long gone, they were the first treasure for the first finders.
But wouldn't those same tools, from this time period, then be found elsewhere? Have any tools _that_ old, which could be used for such a huge job, ever been found, anywhere?
@@futurez12 yes, actually in the middle east near Jerusalem there have been metal tools found that are over 7,000 years old. Tools have been around since humans have been alive. And noone actually knows that exact date
Agree with a lot of points here. Other than say many of these cuts can be explained by tools elsewhere. The type of precision. Drilling for bore holes and the intricacy some of the joins for the stone cannot be expanded by technology anywhere in the world at that time. Your still talking production on a level that we can easily reproduce today. Some of the stone mines in Italy for instance. There are plenty examples around the world not just the biggest obvious sites
THANK YOU for tagging your film clips with "Cusco" and "Sarapeum", etc., so we can know where these were taken. It really helps.
The stone cutting techniques is an enigma for sure. But what is even more puzzeling to me is the logistics: how can one set up production lines, transports, and coordinate all the sub-projects to be ready simultanous while satisfying all tolerance bounds etc. How did they feed all the workers, how did they organize lavatories so that diseses would ’t spread? These may seem as minor problems, easy to handle with some clever planning, but it is not. There are concerns of bottle necks in the production, accidents, tension among workers, missunderstandings in the internal communicatons and so on.
The project management had to be extremely advanced.
there weren’t lots of people. this seems our idea of primitive past doing. we see its not necessary to need so much people to do what they want to do.

That said, it is important in science to refute things on facts, rather than on dogma, and to be prepared to challenge even the most respected theories when new evidence comes along. If the new theories seem unlikely, however, don't expect people to get around to it too quickly.

I've recently become more open minded about our known history of the past, there are definitely things we don't know
I have talked to different engineers at work who individually have 30 years of experience or more under their belt, and they each individually said that even with today's technology, we would not be able to move these blocks around, let alone transport them hundreds or thousands of kms. Even the largest crane would not be able to lift these. One engineer said that the largest thing they (at his company) ever moved was a giant generator that weighed a fraction of what these blocks weigh, yet they had a lot of trouble moving this generator, it was almost too large for current abilities. They also agreed with my questions of how they moved these huge monolithic blocks around as using rollers, for example, made of tree trunks, for example, would not be possible as the sheer weight would crush and wear these down before they moved a single block very far, yet they were moving these blocks around back then over long distances over various terrain at a good amount of speed, because if they moved these very slowly, they'd still be building all of these things to this day. Some say that to cut one of these blocks on all six sides with current tools, such as diamond blades, could take days and wear through many diamond blades. I used a motor driven high speed diamond blade to cut granite rock -- I made 12" x 12" (approx). I cut flat areas into the side of this sloped rock in order to make a place to put in rebar and a concrete cardboard tube form which would be the foundation for a building post. It took me hours and hours and hours to cut slots into the rock which I then hit with a hammer to knock out. Then repeat. Took me days of this. It was utterly tiresome holding this beast of a machine while it screamed and very slowly cut through the rock. The jackhammer barely made a dent in the rock, so I had to use the diamond blade. I spent days making 4 of these flat spots. So, granite is not as hard as many of the types of rock we see in this video. What I'm saying is, even if we used powerful high-speed diamond blades, we still wouldn't be able to make blocks as fast as it seems the ancient people did [if you look at the sheer number of these blocks, they would still be building the pyramids if they were as slow as this diamond blade of mine]. Plus my water-fed diamond blade is circular, goes over 5000 rpm, cuts to a depth of about 5-7". So, imagine how large a saw would need to be to cut a section of rock that is 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet. Today we'd probably have some kind of diamond bladed chainsaw to do this, changing the chain frequently. It would cost a fortune and a long time. You'd literally have to turn it on, then walk away, come back every two hours to put a new chain on and do this for days on end. Then flip the giant rock to cut the next side. Sure, it seems possible, but not very easy, and hardly feasible in any practical sense. Even if there were thousands of people all with water-fed diamond bladed saws dedicated to just producing rock from the quarry, there were not enough humans available to make it possible to produce that many blocks in that amount of time. And as you can see in the photos, they could also cut INTO the rock in order to make a box, how the fuck did they do that if they were using straight two-man cross-cut saws similar to he ones loggers used to cut trees down? No idea. Maybe they used acid to melt the rock. I don't know...
Two methods are shown on Fall of Civilization channel - Easter island ... tree rolling , and walking the blocks . What do your friends think of it I’m wondering ? There are 80 ton blocks in the quarry still , and half way from the quarry . 200 of them made it 20km , and 800 didn’t
Certainly proves they were carved (soft rock) and moved (not cement like the french documentary ) . 100+ ton blocks were moved . Amazing
You are wrong .. we have the technology to move things that weigh a 1000 tons ... we have large cranes that can do this ... but the Ejyptians or who ever made these things didnt have large cranes ... And you are wrong in your idea of Humans making blocks .. it has been done by human hands.. Or Aliens or space men we will never really know

Absolutely agree that those awesome works on stone where made with highly advance precision machinery. But who made them? Obviously and advance society. If not ancient aliens, then only one possibility: the builders were our ancestors tho thrived and made amazing things way before the ice age, an awesome human civilization that inhabited this Planet way before the ice age, way before that asteroid hit Earth, long before the great flood that all old cultures tell us about. It seems that Hancok might be right. There was a civilization here that reached sophistication, but was unable to prevent its demise from a cataclysmic event that wiped them. The pyramids, Stonehenge, Puma Punku, Gobleki Tepe and all those megalithic sites around the Globe are remnants of that old really ancient civilization of our ancestors. They could really build stuffs, understand the stars and the universe way better than us today. Who build those awesome sites? Our ancestors way back in time. Unfortunately, they were almost wiped out. Lights out indeed for years no end, till the few survivors barely made it out and had to begin mankind from practically from scratch, just like hunter gatherers, but the Pyramids and Goblekli Tepe, Malta and all those sites were already there because of the perfect way they were built. The world was different. resilient humans started again and here we are in mid 2022, pondering on what those stones are and who build them those sites and how. (my humble opinion)
It’s so hard to comprehend how precise these objects are because where did the long timeline of tools developed that’s necessary to create them go to? It makes them seem like the creation of something more magical than the modern tools and methods that we use to relate to them.
I've been all over Peru and Bolivia, seen the walls of cuzco and been to Macchu PIcchu.... things just don't make sense as to how they try and explain them. Hand tools did not do it.
Exactly
Perhaps they had extra tools inherited from a civilization or city type area that was previously destroyed by an unknown event.
agree, been to many Peru sites (not Bolivia), something must see to appreciate the scale and the difficulty of moving 100+ ton stones from 100(0)s km to these locations. the technology used to shape these stones in multiple angles/planes, fitted with -mm precision, they are not production line products, they are each individually cut/fitted with precision like a super fine watch. who ever did these amazing works 👍👍👍👍👍 what ever tools were used???? we probably can't even do it today.
Simple plan logic. Why can't the critic's see it? Some time's the evidence is right before you. Yet they will deny it. Poor vinegar on a stone and it will soften it over time. So many questions need to be addressed about our ancient past. You seem to find even puzzling questions every time some thing or place of
the antiquity is found. I love ancient history, but sometimes things are found that make no sense. How do that so long ago. Ancient Greek story about the human race. First God made the golden people.

They lived very long lives and could reproduce them. After
an extremely long time. They became evil and corrupted. So, God got rid of them. After a long time and with deep though. The 3rd people were called the bronze people... They are us, all the people in world. Now is that true???

As an aircraft structural craftsman, we would use a technique Calle "chain drilling" to cut through tough materials in an awkward area. You would drill a hole at each end of a line you would want to cut and then continue drilling holes very close until you removed most of the material between the two points. The small uniform holes along a line remind me of this technique.

Great video!!!
Your work and Randall Carson's mesh together perfectly! I'm glad that this information is getting out to a wider audience.
Nothing unlocks the mysteries of ancient structures better than disco dance music.
It's quite infuriating that the academics refuse to listen to experts in stonework before coming to conclusions about a whole period of mankind
I'm starting to think their idiots
I’m a stonemason in the granite side off stone , I fully support your views , even today you can see what a tradesperson does to a piece off stone , all off us shape and use tools differently , it’s like a painter , the eye and stroke off a brush is very difficult to copy , I totally agree two different tribes has laid hands on them blocks
Thanks for the great close up shots of the stone work. Your videos are phenomenal, far better because we actually get to see what you are seeing. Keep up the great work!
Are over cuts intentional as a form of stress relief on the material?
Holes are drilled into metal to relieve stress and stop cracking
Ben’s work is consistent, brilliant and always informative. I appreciate the quality and depth of these analyses and productions.
That Aussie accent, tho…. =)
I'm a machinist, and from the few close-ups I could see, alot of the markings on the stone, seems exactly like the same marks you get when you cut a steel bar on an automated saw with coolant.
Also the surface on the round objects looks like they were cut with a constant feed (31:48). Even on a lathe if you move the feed by hand, you can clearly tell by the surface that it wasnt cut with the feed on.
Having that said. I have no experience with cutting stone, and it's possible that they used something else.
But I personally believe that the "mainstream" eqyptian archaeological explanations are horseshit.
But really you should be able to measure your way out of it.
If you turn an aluminum pibe that is 60mm in diameter, and dont use an indicator along the way, any type of precision close to 0.02mm is impossible to achieve. Thus, if any of these ancients "parts" are too precise, there are mathematical rules that bind them to have been made with more than simple tools. Of course I would only ever make any serious opinions based on what I know.
Which is metal, not stone :).
Mathias Wæver Very interest!
Stone is a hard material but steel or metal has toughness or rugged structure so it has a more stable makeup...making it more difficult to grind, cut, shape, etc. Stone, on the other hand, lacks toughness making in easier to break due to it's brittleness. When stone is heated it will become weak and can easily crumble if enough heat were applied...especially if rapid cooling were to occur. The oxygen content makes this possible.
If heated, stone can be worked using heat and ice, which should have been plentiful in the higher elevations. Just a thought...
Remember Carthage and Hannibal's army. They cut through mountain passes to surprise the Roman battalions. Quite the feat.
@@marcmyers1465 have you considered a swing hammer or large chisel type device...sort of a pendulum. It sounds preposterous but if the surface were softened or weakened somehow...
The swing would be an arc, yes, but if it were to move slightly on each swing or if the base material were nudged...much like a milling machine table moves along by way of a lead screw...
It's pure speculation but it would be an interesting experiment, I think. Small scale would be a possible introduction.
@@thomask940 One must be careful with the use of the word "worked" because it could be taken as having no limit to what it means, but in the case your refer to (heat and ice) the use would be very limited to splitting stone, which is not the same as 'sculpting' stone or shaping it into smooth forms.
@@thomask940 Logic expects that it had to have been employed or else quarrying would have been impossible, even for limestone. It needed to be smoothly 'cut' and that would have required a heavy saw that swung back and forth at the end of a pendulum.
If it were a crescent shaped 'blade' of bronze or some hard alloy embedded with crushed jewels or just quartz then it would abraid a stone surface little by little and at a controllable rate that would be slow but steady, -all depending on the hardness of the jewel grit and the weight of the blade. A very heavy blade would cut the fastest.
The minutious work on the pottery and statues is mind boggling...will put even the great Michelangelo in a shock and awe state
I've been following UnchartedX for a long time now. It is one of the best ancient history channels on UA-cam, if not THE best, as far as I'm concerned.
Ancient advanced civilizations is a truly fascinating and important topic. Especially considering the overwhelming evidence of a more advanced and far longer human history. The least I can do to help is comment to try and make the videos more viable to the mystical cyber algorithms that be.
So far there is zero evidence of lost advanced civilization.
I find it interesting that you can see dotted lines for breaking out pieces of stones, a method that feels humanly possible, and then all of a sudden you have saw marks that seems to have cut stone with fairly high speeds when it comes to the finer details. All these massive stones with tons to it's weight, and all the confidence in the art of all these statues and such, and the amount, it all suggests to me that these people at that time had some really solid machinery. Now, I don't know how many RPM you can make a 11 meter saw blade go around with manpower, but it feels like they either had some way to do it or had some kind of an energy source. I just get these crazy images in front of me seeing ancient people with robes and stuff working on statues with electric saws plugged in to the walls, lol.
how do you explain the inside cuts of the boxes? they are even more remarkable than the outside surfaces.
Bronze chisels and stones

Why is it hard to imagine that these creations were made by Advanced beings that were not from this World. It would be hard to create the perfect cuts in a stone that is harder than Granite TODAY.
Stop the world, unchartedX has just uploaded a new video :)
Definitely the highlight of my week to see that notification = D
Hi Ben, absolutley love your content. Do you ever hold talks/debates in Australia? I think I remember you saying you reside in the states now? Very interested if you hold any conferences etc and hope to join you in tour one day 😊
Hi Ben, I enjoy your videos greatly. This is my first comment to a video ever mostly because I didn't know how to leave a comment, so I asked my daughter how and here it is. Since you have visited the Giza pyramid complex have you seen the out buildings that no one ever addresses? The buildings that look from google earth like lumps of stone with a single round vent in the middle. What are these and could they support the power plant theory?
@I DON'T WANNA FIGHT WITH U Why did you make this comment? They clearly had the word theory in there. Who cares what other Pyramids were for. Do you know what it hasn't been proven to be? A tomb, loser.
@I DON'T WANNA FIGHT WITH U that's probably why she said "theory"...also, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence...
@I DON'T WANNA FIGHT WITH U nobody asked you, thankfully
@@woke...since....yesterdayone have been “proven” to be tombs either. Yet that’s what the main stream believe them
To be. Or do they?
That’s more ridiculous to many of use than the theory that it is a machine. In fact ask an engineer what they think of the three great pyramids on the inside and out. The rooms, long strange corridors, etc. Most, if not all, will say it looks to be some sort of machine with a purpose. None will say they are tombs unless they simply believe what the main stream archaeologist say about them. Cheers
Superb, thought-provoking video otherwise. As an engineer myself, all makes sense to me.

Thank You guy’s, very nice work. Ever since I did my studies 35 years ago, I never believed what scientist saying about ancient Egyptians working with granite.
Absolutely blows my mind how people can deny the evidence shown here! Love these videos!
I agree and the earth is flat. 🙂.
What evidence? If you didn't notice, he didn't provide any evidence. He only provided speculation, his ignorance towards the real evidence and his interpretation of lack of some evidence. But the author of this video didn't provide actually any piece of evidence.
@@pablomachine2607 Yes he did, people argue that these were done with the bronze tools that the Egyptians had at the time and that's just stupid, they could not make these kind of precise cuts into granite stone and stone harder than granite with a bronze saw and chisel, it would not look like that, not to mention how they smooth it out.
@@judahofjudea4601 Actually he didn't provide any evidence. Speculations are not evidence, you know.
Primitive cultures all around the world have cut and shaped granite and other stones, but somehow the ancient Egyptians couldn't have done it?
"Not to mention how they smooth it out"? Really dude? Take two rocks and rub them together, it's the same principle as in sand paper, if you've ever heard of sandpaper. And see what happens. To make it more high tech, put sand on a rock and rub it with something, with a piece of wood, another rock, a piece of copper, whatever. There you have some ancient high technology that people like you never could have thought of 🤣
Excellent and very very well done ! I’m shocked to see a documentary that is accurate ! Thank you so much. Be well and God bless
There’s a huge difference in the quality of the writing. Would be interesting to see someone now produce the deep, precisely cut hieroglyphs on the obelisks (say) with copper chisels. Consequently, it would be interesting to know what the high quality hieroglyphs say. If the ancient Egyptians inherited a built but broken ghost city, did they not also inherit its written language? As they appropriated it’s buildings for religion and burial, did they also appropriate its writing to define themselves and legitimise their power.....?
Why wouldn't they grind in the writing?
I agree with your discussion of the establishment’s resistance to accept obvious result based evidence without finding the tools themselves, but as another has already said, who leaves their tools/equipment behind at a jobsite? I believe in part its the scientific method itself that holds us back from progress on this front; conclusions can not be made unless direct evidence is found. As such, though we know egyptians had wheels on chariots, since we didn’t find wheels left behind in construction or any apparatus, pulleys and such, but we did find sledges, then we can only conclude that they moved blocks on sledges, and must state that “Egyptians didn’t have the wheel.”
They did leave their woodworking tools behind at the jobsite, but nothing capable of sculpting granite because they didn't exist.
There is a story (probably apocryphal) about an anthropologist who based his entire career on the significance of a “religious fetish” found in multiple sites in South America. Imagine how he felt when one of his students spotted a villager making nets with a tool identicalto the “religious fetish”.
Lol
Nearly a million views now! Congrats on this excellent piece of work. It's clearly making a large impact in the world.
Thanks Jonno!
@@UnchartedX I'm currently in the process of watching all your playlists. Those are really helpful!
It's hokum made by someone who's clearly never made a thing in his life - a physical, handmade thing, that is. To be fair, this documentary is well produced, it's the content that's problematic.
All of these things were well within the grasp of ancient craftspeople. It just required patience and time. Keep in mind that the Egyptians had been crafting things from stone for centuries. It stands to reason that they may have gotten pretty good at it, especially when incented by wealthy nobles and kings willing to pay top dollar for it.
@@nickk6267 Go ahead and refute any of his points then instead of vague waffling. Do you think the geologists and engineers commenting on the video are disagreeing with you because??
@@charleswalker2484 I think they're either lying about their credentials or wildly incompetent. I'm an engineer, and say with compete confidence that this stuff is bullshit. All of it.
Oh and I don't need to refute it. That's the galling thing: 5 lazy minutes of searching Google will turn up volumes of legitimate research that answers all of these supposed mysteries. This guy is just gifting gullible UA-camrs to get paid.
those tube drills have a 2mm feed rate. we can only cut plastic at that rate, not steel and certainly not rock
Even e.t. cutting / drilling technology probably couldn't achieve that rate, -unless it applied stone softening measures to the stone mass to make it softer for the tool. I suspect their tools employed a combination of technologies working synergistically. Have you yet absorbed the extensive information about ancient Egyptians stone cutting-drilling found at Chris Dunn's website (gizapower.com)? It's a great educational source, with links to other sources.
@@redwoodcoast There is certainly an "unknown factor" involved in how they managed to cut at that rate. One idea is that they had some kind of technology that dramatically softened the rock. It would account for some of the findings but softening bedrock insitu is unimaginable to us in this world.
@@redwoodcoast probably some sort of magnetic pulse through the cutting head that disables molecular bond. like hydrolysis of water into hydrogen/oxygen
@@69mrnikolai I don't know of any molecular disruption caused by magnetism, but I believe that stone cutting or slicing was done via disruption through the cutting head. I assume it was sonic resonant frequency hyper stimulation via vibration that over-stimulated the molecular bonds with excess energy....like the wine glass shattered by a powerful voice.
Time and religion can do the job that you can't imagine they could do. Remember, they were us with different tools. They didn't have lasers, they had plumb lines
I know a little bit about machining. The perfectly cuboid shapes recessed into basalt might be impossible today.
Maybe by now you have seen footage on YT of people using copper tools and sound vibrations to cut into very hard materials. If not, it is worth looking at. Really enjoying your presentation of your research
Easily the best videos exploring the ancients bar none ! Great work as always 🔥 👏🏼
Ben, i think your editing and narrating on ALL of your videos is top notch. I appreciate your level of dedication to this topic and the world is better off for having these videos and all your research. You're doing great work. Thank you
After seeing part 2 I want to thank you for helping me understand what I have pondered for nearly 50 years. When I worked as as an apprentice stone mason many years ago (72?)I bought Peter Tomkins Secrets of the Great Pyramid. That was an eye opener for sure and the comment by Petrie from his time in Egypt stated that his take on the precision was of optical precision on a scale of acres. The tools we see did do the work They did but not the stone work they inherited. The Incas also inherited the megalithic stones and their work is reflected in what we see in Peru. The precision we see has another story that we can only ponder on. The enormous statues in Egypt and the absolute symmetry of the faces confirms in my mind that the work was done to inspire humans. I still think the work is Devine in nature. Humans don't do perfection only strive to accomplishment it. The weight and precision represents a checkmate if you will. Humans can do one or the other but not both and I feel it represents infinity which is what we call God. I can only share that I get a sense of wonder thinking about when the Spanish finally got to Cuzco and saw the walls covered with gold foil and thought they had all become RICH. Great Work! Ne plus ultra
I like these videos because they dont try to feed me rubbish Only facts or clearly stated when it is opinion and I appreciate that 👍✌️ It is absalutly mind blowing how these things were shaped and transported I love trying to figure it out in my mind and listening to others opinions to help me along and much appreciated 👍✌️
@@MrAchile13 No, we're not saying the object isn't possible to make today. We're saying the level of precision is unexplainable by supposedly ancient tools that we know of.
@@MrAchile13 making a lopsided stone vessel out of marble is not the same as making a perfectly balanced and round vessel out of granite.
@@MrAchile13 WHAT HAVE THE ROMANS EVER DONE FOR US?! ...well OK, that vessel and those sarcophagi are quite impressive... but WHAT HAVE THE ROMANS EVER DONE FOR US?! :)
It's all opinion! This why the world sucks. Because people cant distinguish between an opinion and evidence. Do I need to get a dictionary to tell you the difference? Do me a favor look up the definition of the word fact...
MrAchile13 , we could add that the quarries in Mons Porphyrites were only developed in Roman times, by Romans. There are no pre-Roman porphyry objects larger than a cobble - they did not know where the rare porphyry blocks found in the desert came from. Many traces of Roman engineering are still to be seen in the area, bun nothing older.
I hate when archeologists resort to, "where are the tools?"...
Go to the empire state building, burj khalifa, or any modern structure and try to find the tools used to build it. Workers take their tools when they're done.
There's obviously a gap in our knowledge of our ancestors
Archaeologists have found ancient Egyptian tools, which you can see in the Cairo Museum. Their future counterparts, sifting through the ruins of our civilization may well find a few examples of our tools, where circumstances favored their preservation. If there was an ancient Precursor Civilization, we haven't yet found any of the "other stuff" archaeologists usually find: houses, trash middens, burials, tools and weapons, jewelry, pottery, etc.. Maybe all that stuff is in places we haven't looked yet (offshore, because sea levels were lower, along river beds that flowed before the Younger Dryas, but are under desert sand now, etc.), but a Precursor Civilization hypothesis probably won't find much acceptance until we do.
Or it was all looted after the fall of that civilization. If it was a pre-ice age civilization, the glaciers would have scraped it down to bedrock.
I think you are missing the point. Maybe try; where are the tools ancestors? why can we no longer do these things? besides, workers on modern building sites discard worn out and broken tools, not always in the skip. These would be found in the soil around and under the buildings, even within voids in the structure itself such as cavity walls. Archaeologists are forever digging up tools, flints, stone axes, etc. Even antlers, let alone metal ones. you are suggesting all the sites examined were forensically cleaned of all tools broken or not?
@alex gould I'm neither a scientist or archeologist, it's not on me to prove anything. I just think it's ridiculous to assume everything from the ancient world was built using pounding stones and copper chisels, when you can clearly see the marks indicating very different tools were used. Even back in the 90's, I think it was some Egyptologists tried recreating the tube drill and copper saws on limestone. Even though it took them all day to grind a couple inches, the marks they left on the stone were not the same marks we see in other ancient work. There's alot of evidence of ancient circular saws as well, with over cuts in statues, granite boxes/sarcophagus and the basalt floor at the Giza plateau.
It's too much to ignore and worse to attribute this work to copper chisels and saws. It just doesn't fit
I always get a kick out of them claiming the egyptians used wood sleds, wetting the sand in front of it in able to move massive stones. One of the biggest obelisks weighs 1,100 TONS. They have no idea of what happens to wood at that kind of load. Hint... it turns into something like paper.
Egyptologists worst fear is that tour guide holding his little cup of water, it's like being a Vietnamese soldier and suddenly hearing fortunate son blasting on the horizon.
I hate the use of the phrase "main stream archaeology" which immediately suggests that the presenter denies the academic work of highly qualified people - even though he says he doesn't.. We seem to be in a time when experts are derided. But I disagree, those who spend their lives studying a subject are the experts, the ones deserving our respect, and for my money, the ones who are worth listening to.
Wish I could like this twice! The part where you said Yousef has never seen any evidence of power tools being used for the glyphs as opposed to the monuments themselves.
Hands down the best channel on megaliths
After what the world has gone through over the last few years I no longer have any problems whatsoever with “conspiracy theories” or people questioning the powers that be
Not watched it yet but smashing it like always my man. keep up the amazing work, exposing everything perfectly and professionally.
Happy New Year mate. Great start to a year of new surprises and revelations.
Copper is a relative soft material. I believe the copper tools they've found from back then are a bit of another "composition" and a bit harder then the pure copper we have today. But still it should be relatively soft compared to stones like granite etc.
But shouldn't there be copper leftovers need to be found on these stones when copper tools were used? I could imagine, looking at the softness of coper, that there must be copper leftovers need to be found on hard stones like that, especally on "grainy" surfaces.
Like the way sandpaper looks after sanding some wood for example. It still contans a lot of "wood" particals then. Same goes for filing softer materials like copper. Copper particles will always be left on the file.
The amazing thing is that these scoops and protuberances are found on every megalithic site and every continent,,so I think the first round of humans built these before the continents broke up,,they were bigger and better and farther with technology than we are now.
An excellent video. Thanks! After watching hundreds of similar videos over the years there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the ancient Egyptians and other civilizations did indeed inherit the works of much more highly advanced civilizations that lived many thousands if not millions of years before. I look forward to your second video highlighting the lathe technologies that were used along with the seemingly CNC type machining done on statues, etc resulting in perfect symmetry. It’s all absolutely fascinating.
Perfect symmetry would be easy with as simple a tool as a piece of string. Hold it to one side--hold it to the other, and keep chiseling until it is level. Not to mention that modern craftsmen have no problem getting symmetry even to this day--the more you do it the more you develop an eye for it, tools or no.
Or, they invented it. I guess it's because they're African. Hell, aristotle, pythagoras and others were taught by Africans. Yet they acted like they thought of it. That's why they're theorems, not facts. Black people didn't make everything, but we made a lot. Nothing but facts. Hidden Colors.....

As a man who has worked construction through several skilled trades (masonry and carpentry) for 30 years now ....what you posit is preposterous. Those stone blocks weighing 50 tons, 100 tons, 200 tons + are impossible to make with todays power tools on the scale that they are made...nor is there a crane anywhere on Earth that can pick up a 200 ton stone and place it anywhere..even 10 feet away from where it was miraculously quarried. Also, the stone and wooden tools alleged to have been used would be worthless for cutting these bedrock sedimantary stones...even today, we must use power tools with metal blades covered in tiny diamonds to produce this level of craftmanship on much, much smaller stones. Forget about trying to build a giant diamond lathe to turn these perfectly round 100 ton columns...we cannot do so in 2023, yet we put humans on the moon...
@@marcthomas5641We, as a species, have one construction crane on the planet that can lift and carry 5000 tonnes. Its name is Big Carl. It is currently being used to construct the nuclear power facility, Hinkley Point C, in the UK. This thing takes 30 minutes to complete a full rotation. 100 tonne lifts are often done by the smaller cranes on-site because of the amount of time it takes the larger crane to operate. They did a lift of a 388 tonne precast concrete ring that required 118 tonnes of tackle making the lift 506 tonnes. I couldn't imagine what/how heavy the tackle would be to just move let alone stand 1000 tonne obelisk. We could do it today if we spent 10 years engineering the crane and the purpose built tackle to accomplish the lift and another 3-5 years building the crane. Our species at its current point would never spend that kind of resource for constructing something that didn't have direct economic benefits.
Thank you for this amazing content Ben!
@41:50 I believe the reason the etchings on this box look rough is because they are an outline for the envisioned finished shape. If looked at from the end and corner it gives the outline which would produce a very nice shape finished with the rims, lips and curved edges the rectangles usually step inwards which is why I'm thinking this piece had a long way to go yet and not so much a younger civilisation defacing the box.
That's a bloody good point.
Great vid!
Reminds me of the book "Dead Men's Secrets" by Jonathan Gray. In it (amongst over 900 other ancient high tech 'anomolies') he mentions a South American bird which uses the sap of a leaf from a particular plant to soften rock in which it then makes a hollow for its nest. Makes one wonder which one knew the process first - man or animal?

The ability to work and move stone was never completely lost. From the Egyptians to the Greeks to the Romans there are great works all around. With the collapse of the Roman empire much was lost in Europe, but in the Middle East and India great stonework continued, all you need to do is look at the mosques and temples.
With the crusades knowledge "lost" in Europe was brought back and the great cathedrals and more were built using this knowledge.
I do agree that these people were master craftsman and artisans. It's truly remarkable what they built using simple tools and principles and their hands.
We didn't aquire the skill... We invented machines to do the heavy lifting. Skill and ability are not the same. How many assumptions are you losers going to make. Just because something is heavy doesn't mean we couldn't make them.... Look into stone age tools.

Great content, thank you!
Just my opinion:
People who study in order to pass an exam at some University memorize content.
People who have worked in their field for many years have gained experience and an eye for good or bad work, they know what they are talking about and they can back it up.
Due to experience they become experts in their craft.
Imagine this:
Someone who just read books, which are entirely based on theories and misinformation, passes his or hers exam and becomes a doctor of Egyptology.
That's great!
