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.
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.

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..
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 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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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."
@@Rob_Fordd- 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'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?
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 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..
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'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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.)
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.
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.
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.
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???
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 ..
WE ARE MOVING BACK INTO THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT THESE PEOPLE HAD AT THEIR DISPOSAL.SEE UTUBE: THE ANCIENT YUGA & CYCLES OF THE AGES, BY SCIENTIST BORIS FRITZ CLASS 2 OF 2. THE USE OF A GRAVITY WAVE SIMILAR TO WHAT'S USED TO KEEP U.S. SPACE FORCES TR3B ASTRA ALOFT IS ONE METHOD OF MAKING AN OBJECT WEIGHTLESS. HYPERSONIC PARTICLE BEAMS CAN CUT THRU ANYTHING,ANOTHER LOST TECHNOLOGY.
Scocasso Vegetus Granite is not hard as rocks you see in video? Ok, lol wiresaw is how you cut large blocks, but, back in those days, i dont know. diamond wire is used everyday cutting quarry faces, but they didnt have that, or did they🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
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.
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
12:35 could be the story told by Māori of the 3 baskets of knowledge and stones handed down by Io Matua kore, the story is about a watcher or caretaker as we call them Kaitiaki, a Tānenui-a-rangi went to the Parentless One who offered to Tāne 3 baskets and stones or more like stone looking seeds. There are many stone images of Ancient beings holding a bag (Basket) with what looks like a pine-cone. This is the only stone carving that has 3 baskets and a bird offering a stone. Its a story about humans becoming civilized, culture, knowledge of how to live together, cultivate, sustainability etc. Its been called manbags but these ancient ones were giants, so was Tāne, so if you reference the size of these bags you could fit a sheep in them so more like baskets.
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.
Of all things the futuristic space faring people ( us) to be stumped on how some ancient primitive culture built their stone structure.. it’s crazy and should be the one thing they would want to know
@@johnbryan459 I'm not going to watch a full-length movie based on your recommendation. But I will say that I have already see it - and the issues of tube drills and saw marks is 100% NOT addressed by these amateur "debunkers". Do the math and figure out how MANY stones were cut using "water and sand", then calculate how many centuries it would have taken to build the pyramids (without wheels). Look at the giant, highly polished stone boxes deep within a pyramid with clearance in the walls of under 8 inches. There is no conceivable way to move these things into the pyramids using humans and ropes. You cannot FIT enough humans into these corridors to pull these giant boxes - around corners. This "debunking" film has been debunked already when it comes to the stoneworks. You present nothing we all haven't considered before. If YOU are new to this discussion, you're going to have your eyes opened! Enjoy the ride!
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? All of these people know the truth and are hiding it, from *you*?
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.....?
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)
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.

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.
The one thing I do disagree with is the 'roughness' inside some of the pictograms. Some were probably painted and a rough surface would make for better adhesion. Also gives higher contrast in bright light. There are many that are obvious later additions, but a lot of the ones on larger pieces seem to be done with a much higher level of skill in general.
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.
I would say that it isn't a circular saw that is used for cutting the stone. I think it's more a very big/long (maybe also heavy) curved blade hanging in a swing-like-construction. Pushed manually from both sides as it "cuts" into the stone leaving the curved marks. So the principle is just like the test shown in the clip were 2 guys using a copper/bronze saw, only bigger. Blocks bigger the the saw can be sawn in multiple stages by moving the swing (or block), but can give a unintended difference in the alignment of the 2 separate cuts deeper in the material. This also happens when you try to saw wood from opposing sides and meeting in the middle. Another explanation could be that 1 cut was made with an old worn blade and the other with a new one. So the new one is thicker than the old one, which results into the ripple. Remaining uncut pieces could be done with a straight saw giving the straight cuts. Using the swing you can also give a flat surface a curved surface by turning the block around and superficially go over it. Because it's so big and probably very valuable, you won't loose or wast it and make something different from it in the future and that's why we haven't found one jet.
I read your comment before I watched and I think he mentions some kind of giant swing-saw around 22:01, you would have been a great ancient engineer I guess!!!
@@james3414 I checked the time and indeed he mentioned it. I have missed that and that makes my suggestion less orginal/authentic. I am btw a civil engineer 😁
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.
I love this stuff because I do believe societies of humans existed for longer back than we can fathom, think about what we have accomplished in 2000 years, from the Roman Empire to sending craft outside our solar system, if a extinction event happened today how much of our civilization would exist in 10,000 years, but if there were survivors they would know of today but what about their children and their children's children, since they never saw this first hand legends are born and these legends keep growing.
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.
As someone who’s been around allot of concrete the air hole marks on the blocks at puma punku look exactly like when the concrete hasn’t been vibrated properly and air pockets form
There is a theory that that is how some of the "sandstone" blocks that make up the great pyramid. A materials scientist did some analysis and found there were tiny air bubbles that do not appear in natural sandstone.

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 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’ve seen some of the magnificent ancient stone works around the world. I never believed that there was consistency between the time when things were built which demonstrated unfathomable technological precision and engineering and then later utilized for many centuries following. Even at the Wailing Wall the foundation stones are so monumental it’s mine baffling.
> Ummm. It's mind baffling that men have stood on the moon. As a machinist, I'm aware that modern machining can produce surfaces that are incredibly round, flat, smooth and such. FAR beyond the ability of mere humans and fingers to detect by themselves. I'd be interested in seeing some of these artifacts tested for flatness, roundness, and other forms of precision using the instruments of today, which can measure down to the atomic level. The methods of "Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerances". I rather suspect that people don't appreciate what the mind of man and craftsmanship can produce ----like trips to the moon.
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.

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?
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
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.”
I’ve just watched this part 1: Machining in this series and came to a realization about a couple of things. First on the hieroglyphs that cover the boxes in The Serapeum, what if they were added not so many years later as a form of graffiti? Perhaps the boxes were processed in one place or by a group of craftsmen? Then they might be delivered and a different group would apply the hieroglyphs. They might have also been added in haste for what ever reason. Either situation could explain the more crude application. Second, what if the tools used in the processing of the larger stones were in some way consumable or recycled. Even though copper and bronze has been found to be used in this period, it doesn’t mean that stronger materials were not used. They just haven’t been found yet. If we are reaching further back in time and finding examples of civilizations much older that the current record, then other data could have been missed over all these years. I’m sure these things are on you mind as you are fighting to prove their existence. I was just inspired to share my thoughts. Thank you for chasing after this greater knowledge!
"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...👍
In japan there are wonderful 30ft high stone gates called ‘split gates’ because it looks as though they have been cut down the middle with such a sharp edge . They have been moved about 10feet apart and you can see where they originally joined . The problem is the same , they don’t know how they were made , certainly not with hand tools . It would be interesting to see if they have saw marks .
@@natty-1620 you might be right . Not enough investigation into the sound theory . Well I’ve looked and although it is well known that pure tones can resonate at certain frequencies and break solid objects if the right frequency is obtained I haven’t seen it fully looked into regarding cutting stone . Tesler did a lot of tests and experiments with sound waves and the vibration patterns . The man was so ahead of his time it would be interesting to see how far he took his experiments in this area .
Just like we have knowledge today they didn't,like the Christianan who invented the MRI, they knew things too. Early on Joseph in bible taught them all they knew
Stones are cut with a shallow straight groove. When they are hit they separate along this line in a surprisingly straight line. It's very similar to how a fine scratch is all you need to cut glass. All stone is quarried even now using this technique. No need for alien technology.
I'm with the presenter, and I love the concept of past civilisations in all shades (Silurian Hypothesis included). What I don't get is the kind of technology that produces walls of irregular shapes that are perfectly cut. It would be harder to do that way, so the best reason for them to be that way is pure stylistic flair. So, it was done that way just because it was harder, or, the tooling mechanic used is something that we're unfamiliar with that has an outcome similar to CNC routing. It's the concave surfaces that get me. We're not explaining those away with bronze saws.
@@BikingVikingHH Look closer, don't just trust me. The concave surfaces have square internal corners and no striations indicative of circulate blades. Think about the mechanics of using a spanning blade with precision. Bigger blade = flatter surface right? These surfaces have micron scale deviations. Then consider what happens in a corner. The bigger the blade, the bigger the problem with rounded corners. The internal corners according to these reports equivalent to that of the ball in a pen. That's about 0.5mm bevel. That's why I was thinking CNC routing, but even then you end up with rounded corners. It's a cool problem to solve.
Great video! I just recently discovered your channel and I've been really enjoying your work. The evidence of advanced technology is so obvious, it's a shame there's so much interest in resisting it. I'd like to add something that might dispel some of the mystery surrounding the flatness of so many of the artifacts you discuss. Flatness, though impressive, isn't really as difficult as is commonly believed. If you look into of precision granite surface plates as used by machinists, and how they were developed, you'll find that, once granite blocks are cut to a rough shape, they can be made nearly perfectly flat without the need for any special tools. All that's needed is some abrasive paste (today, it's probably usually diamond. But other, more accessible abrasives could have been used in the past) and three flat-is granite plates. The trick is to rub them together in pairs in the right sequence, (Something like: A-B, C-B, C-A, B-A, C-B, C-A, repeat...) with some abrasive between them. (Using only two plates would result in one being concave and the other being convex, the third plate counteracts this, resulting in three flat plates.) This phenomenon is supposed to have only been discovered in the last 100-200 years or so, but to me it seems reasonable that any civilization that could build the pyramids, could have figured out how to rub three blocks of granite together. Hopefully this helps explain a part of the mystery, even if it's just a small part.
you are saying they used a plate grinding process to finish off 100' x 8' tapered Obelisks? um OK.. there are stone slabs as in the kings chamber ceiling stones 50'x25ft, how can you possibly true those stones up using said process? impossible slabs that ginormous.. and let's say you could, then how do you move them without damaging them at all, hale how do you move them period, and elevate them into place? my best guess is the alien visitors learned how to harness anti gravity based on the alignment of the stars, this is why the alignment of the stars was so powerful to ancient civilizations they knew when stars were aligned in such a way great things could be managed, like moving massive stones to build massive pyramids, it has to be something along those lines, otherwise with the manpower they had and extremely advanced tooling it wouldn't have taken 50 years to build these things,. a couple years that's it using anti gravity dollys so forth, unless they only had the one dolly?
@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.
I could also imagine the tools being cleaned up after finishing the build. and the tool materials reused and recycled elsewhere. and the ones that were forgotten, were later found and reused again. I'd imagine the material would be pretty valuable.
Yes i agree, there's probably lots of stuff all over the world either buried or under the water.Hopefully given time and maybe some people with more open minds we may hat least get some of the questions answered on how (maybe even why in lots of cases) the clearly advanced prior civilizations created these wonders.
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.
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 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.
22:51 Eyeballing that cut and estimating the chord length to be 24 inches ( 0.6 m) and the height of the chord from the arc of the cut at about one inch (25mm), gives a saw diameter of 12 feet (3.7m). 😳
I've always said we have underestimated the abilities of our ancient ancestors all over the world simply because they built impressive things. More people are willing to find aliens a more believable explanation rather than determination and innovation.
You act as if the whole alien theory is something cooked up in the past century. Try reading what ancient people wrote. There are countless ancient cultures which perfectly describe events where if you swap out the term "gods" and insert "extraterrestrials", it all makes perfect sence. Keep in mind, ancient people didn't have the technological point of reference we have today. Aliens would be thought of as Gods. UFO's could easily be described as "metal dragons" like is written about in ancient china that descended to earth with a thunderous roar with smoke and flame. They even talk about how the first emperor rode in the belly of said flying dragon. Or better yet, try reading the Bhagavad gita which comes from Ancient India. One part describes what by any account would be the use of a nuclear weapon. The weapon is called a "Brahmaastra" (star weapon). and is described as: “single projectile charged with all the power in the universe. It was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race. There was neither a counter attack nor a defense that could stop it.” It went further into describing the aftermath, and how people who didn't immediately die, had their skin blister off, etc. Which is a perfect description of radiation poisoning. Also from that same section of the book, was where Robert Oppenheimer got the famous quote "I have become death, destroyer of worlds". Which is what the hero in the story named Arjuna said after using the weapon at the behest of the god Krishna who gave it to him.
@@LBCAndrew Thank you for making my point. I think their physical abilities were underestimated but that doesn't change the fact that they were highly superstitious people that lacked a deeper scientific explanation for the world around them and used the creation of Gods to direct their fears, hopes and aspirations to. They were trying to make sense of the world in the only way they could. Why did the river flood, crops fail, sun eclipse, star shoot across the sky, volcano erupt, disease spread, infants die/death in general. Gods gave them an outlet for the human condition necessity of understanding things out of their control. There are people today who see the image of Jesus in their breakfast toast or tree stump because it gives them hope. Also, why did those aliens stop visiting Earth (I know I know you will cite completely unsubstantiated clips, stories and blurry videos of lights)?

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.
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).

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..
Pisses me off how later rulers desecrated these marvelous creations with crude graffiti
45:07: vandalized with a chisel is exactly right.

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.”

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 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.
Finally a video that questions how these things were made without talking about aliens. Great video

Here we go! Already can’t wait for part II
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.
you should honestly watch his recent videos on the precision granite vase that was scanned with a computer. mind blowing conclusions.
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.
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

@@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.
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?

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.

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.
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.
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.

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???

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.
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.
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!
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 ..

12:35 could be the story told by Māori of the 3 baskets of knowledge and stones handed down by Io Matua kore, the story is about a watcher or caretaker as we call them Kaitiaki, a Tānenui-a-rangi went to the Parentless One who offered to Tāne 3 baskets and stones or more like stone looking seeds. There are many stone images of Ancient beings holding a bag (Basket) with what looks like a pine-cone. This is the only stone carving that has 3 baskets and a bird offering a stone. Its a story about humans becoming civilized, culture, knowledge of how to live together, cultivate, sustainability etc. Its been called manbags but these ancient ones were giants, so was Tāne, so if you reference the size of these bags you could fit a sheep in them so more like baskets.
Happy New Year mate. Great start to a year of new surprises and revelations.
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.
Unless it was all hands free. Done either by a few giants as depicted in the hieroglyphics with the assistance of aircraft.

Look at the giant, highly polished stone boxes deep within a pyramid with clearance in the walls of under 8 inches. There is no conceivable way to move these things into the pyramids using humans and ropes. You cannot FIT enough humans into these corridors to pull these giant boxes - around corners.

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?

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?

The minutious work on the pottery and statues is mind boggling...will put even the great Michelangelo in a shock and awe state
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.
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
Ben, you are doing a tremendous job! Thank you for all the content
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.
mate I cut concrete for a living, you drill aluminium.

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.
The work of Brien Foerster is astonishing in regard to such megalithic monuments.
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.
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
Easily the best videos exploring the ancients bar none ! Great work as always 🔥 👏🏼
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?
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)
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.

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.
Not watched it yet but smashing it like always my man. keep up the amazing work, exposing everything perfectly and professionally.
The one thing I do disagree with is the 'roughness' inside some of the pictograms. Some were probably painted and a rough surface would make for better adhesion.
Also gives higher contrast in bright light.
There are many that are obvious later additions, but a lot of the ones on larger pieces seem to be done with a much higher level of skill in general.
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.

wyatt kutz
Dude... punctuation!
Every time I see a video like this on Ancient Egypt, the word wow becomes my most used thought
I would say that it isn't a circular saw that is used for cutting the stone. I think it's more a very big/long (maybe also heavy) curved blade hanging in a swing-like-construction. Pushed manually from both sides as it "cuts" into the stone leaving the curved marks. So the principle is just like the test shown in the clip were 2 guys using a copper/bronze saw, only bigger. Blocks bigger the the saw can be sawn in multiple stages by moving the swing (or block), but can give a unintended difference in the alignment of the 2 separate cuts deeper in the material. This also happens when you try to saw wood from opposing sides and meeting in the middle. Another explanation could be that 1 cut was made with an old worn blade and the other with a new one. So the new one is thicker than the old one, which results into the ripple. Remaining uncut pieces could be done with a straight saw giving the straight cuts. Using the swing you can also give a flat surface a curved surface by turning the block around and superficially go over it.
Because it's so big and probably very valuable, you won't loose or wast it and make something different from it in the future and that's why we haven't found one jet.
I read your comment before I watched and I think he mentions some kind of giant swing-saw around 22:01, you would have been a great ancient engineer I guess!!!
@@james3414 I checked the time and indeed he mentioned it. I have missed that and that makes my suggestion less orginal/authentic. I am btw a civil engineer 😁
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.
I love this stuff because I do believe societies of humans existed for longer back than we can fathom, think about what we have accomplished in 2000 years, from the Roman Empire to sending craft outside our solar system, if a extinction event happened today how much of our civilization would exist in 10,000 years, but if there were survivors they would know of today but what about their children and their children's children, since they never saw this first hand legends are born and these legends keep growing.
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.
As someone who’s been around allot of concrete the air hole marks on the blocks at puma punku look exactly like when the concrete hasn’t been vibrated properly and air pockets form
There is a theory that that is how some of the "sandstone" blocks that make up the great pyramid. A materials scientist did some analysis and found there were tiny air bubbles that do not appear in natural sandstone.

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.

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.

The Egyptians had the worlds first CNC machine shop.
This technology and civilization pre-dates the Egyptians by thousands of years
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.
I’ve just watched this part 1: Machining in this series and came to a realization about a couple of things. First on the hieroglyphs that cover the boxes in The Serapeum, what if they were added not so many years later as a form of graffiti? Perhaps the boxes were processed in one place or by a group of craftsmen? Then they might be delivered and a different group would apply the hieroglyphs. They might have also been added in haste for what ever reason. Either situation could explain the more crude application. Second, what if the tools used in the processing of the larger stones were in some way consumable or recycled. Even though copper and bronze has been found to be used in this period, it doesn’t mean that stronger materials were not used. They just haven’t been found yet. If we are reaching further back in time and finding examples of civilizations much older that the current record, then other data could have been missed over all these years. I’m sure these things are on you mind as you are fighting to prove their existence. I was just inspired to share my thoughts. Thank you for chasing after this greater knowledge!
Imagine all the artifacts hidden in warehouses somewhere

Loved the warehouse scene at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark...👍
or under the sand
Maybe in the vatican library

@@ebayerr it's just mind blowing that the mainstream so called experts absolutely refuse to acknowledge the obvious use of lost technology

This is just fascinating. Only started looking at this recently and then discovered your channel, superb analysis :)
In japan there are wonderful 30ft high stone gates called ‘split gates’ because it looks as though they have been cut down the middle with such a sharp edge . They have been moved about 10feet apart and you can see where they originally joined . The problem is the same , they don’t know how they were made , certainly not with hand tools . It would be interesting to see if they have saw marks .
Pokemon did it
@@natty-1620 you might be right . Not enough investigation into the sound theory . Well I’ve looked and although it is well known that pure tones can resonate at certain frequencies and break solid objects if the right frequency is obtained I haven’t seen it fully looked into regarding cutting stone .
Tesler did a lot of tests and experiments with sound waves and the vibration patterns . The man was so ahead of his time it would be interesting to see how far he took his experiments in this area .
Just like we have knowledge today they didn't,like the Christianan who invented the MRI, they knew things too. Early on Joseph in bible taught them all they knew
Is split gate the official name? I couldn’t find it via a Google, very interested!
Stones are cut with a shallow straight groove. When they are hit they separate along this line in a surprisingly straight line. It's very similar to how a fine scratch is all you need to cut glass. All stone is quarried even now using this technique. No need for alien technology.
I'm with the presenter, and I love the concept of past civilisations in all shades (Silurian Hypothesis included). What I don't get is the kind of technology that produces walls of irregular shapes that are perfectly cut. It would be harder to do that way, so the best reason for them to be that way is pure stylistic flair. So, it was done that way just because it was harder, or, the tooling mechanic used is something that we're unfamiliar with that has an outcome similar to CNC routing. It's the concave surfaces that get me. We're not explaining those away with bronze saws.
Concave would actually be the easiest to make, as any round spinning saw or wheel would grind away a concave surface.
@@BikingVikingHH Look closer, don't just trust me. The concave surfaces have square internal corners and no striations indicative of circulate blades.
Think about the mechanics of using a spanning blade with precision. Bigger blade = flatter surface right? These surfaces have micron scale deviations. Then consider what happens in a corner. The bigger the blade, the bigger the problem with rounded corners. The internal corners according to these reports equivalent to that of the ball in a pen. That's about 0.5mm bevel.
That's why I was thinking CNC routing, but even then you end up with rounded corners.
It's a cool problem to solve.
Great video! I just recently discovered your channel and I've been really enjoying your work. The evidence of advanced technology is so obvious, it's a shame there's so much interest in resisting it. I'd like to add something that might dispel some of the mystery surrounding the flatness of so many of the artifacts you discuss.
Flatness, though impressive, isn't really as difficult as is commonly believed. If you look into of precision granite surface plates as used by machinists, and how they were developed, you'll find that, once granite blocks are cut to a rough shape, they can be made nearly perfectly flat without the need for any special tools. All that's needed is some abrasive paste (today, it's probably usually diamond. But other, more accessible abrasives could have been used in the past) and three flat-is granite plates.
The trick is to rub them together in pairs in the right sequence, (Something like: A-B, C-B, C-A, B-A, C-B, C-A, repeat...) with some abrasive between them. (Using only two plates would result in one being concave and the other being convex, the third plate counteracts this, resulting in three flat plates.)
This phenomenon is supposed to have only been discovered in the last 100-200 years or so, but to me it seems reasonable that any civilization that could build the pyramids, could have figured out how to rub three blocks of granite together.
Hopefully this helps explain a part of the mystery, even if it's just a small part.
you are saying they used a plate grinding process to finish off 100' x 8' tapered Obelisks? um OK.. there are stone slabs as in the kings chamber ceiling stones 50'x25ft, how can you possibly true those stones up using said process? impossible slabs that ginormous.. and let's say you could, then how do you move them without damaging them at all, hale how do you move them period, and elevate them into place?
my best guess is the alien visitors learned how to harness anti gravity based on the alignment of the stars, this is why the alignment of the stars was so powerful to ancient civilizations they knew when stars were aligned in such a way great things could be managed, like moving massive stones to build massive pyramids, it has to be something along those lines, otherwise with the manpower they had and extremely advanced tooling it wouldn't have taken 50 years to build these things,. a couple years that's it using anti gravity dollys so forth, unless they only had the one dolly?
@@deandee8082 You are one crazy person out of a sea of crazy people I've found in these youtube videos.
@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.
It's all under that sand. Just like the Sphinx was. Dig deep enough an we'd find it all.
ww1980kolo if it doesn’t get looted first.
I could also imagine the tools being cleaned up after finishing the build. and the tool materials reused and recycled elsewhere. and the ones that were forgotten, were later found and reused again. I'd imagine the material would be pretty valuable.
Yes i agree, there's probably lots of stuff all over the world either buried or under the water.Hopefully given time and maybe some people with more open minds we may hat least get some of the questions answered on how (maybe even why in lots of cases) the clearly advanced prior civilizations created these wonders.
They just dig to stone age and they stop thinking nothing important is beneath it.
And that ice don’t forget!
I've recently become more open minded about our known history of the past, there are definitely things we don't know
Love the ”shame on you” part! That must be Zahi Hawass leaving the room with G. Hancock?
yep, and I was there
"I don't believe in sonar" is my favorite Zahi quote
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.
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 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.
Those stones at Puma Punku are a puzzle. I don't mean literally. They have just always freaked me out a little.
They are remnants of ancient alien base
22:51 Eyeballing that cut and estimating the chord length to be 24 inches ( 0.6 m) and the height of the chord from the arc of the cut at about one inch (25mm), gives a saw diameter of 12 feet (3.7m). 😳
I've always said we have underestimated the abilities of our ancient ancestors all over the world simply because they built impressive things. More people are willing to find aliens a more believable explanation rather than determination and innovation.
You act as if the whole alien theory is something cooked up in the past century. Try reading what ancient people wrote. There are countless ancient cultures which perfectly describe events where if you swap out the term "gods" and insert "extraterrestrials", it all makes perfect sence. Keep in mind, ancient people didn't have the technological point of reference we have today. Aliens would be thought of as Gods. UFO's could easily be described as "metal dragons" like is written about in ancient china that descended to earth with a thunderous roar with smoke and flame. They even talk about how the first emperor rode in the belly of said flying dragon.
Or better yet, try reading the Bhagavad gita which comes from Ancient India. One part describes what by any account would be the use of a nuclear weapon. The weapon is called a "Brahmaastra" (star weapon). and is described as:
“single projectile charged with all the power in the universe. It was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race. There was neither a counter attack nor a defense that could stop it.”
It went further into describing the aftermath, and how people who didn't immediately die, had their skin blister off, etc. Which is a perfect description of radiation poisoning.
Also from that same section of the book, was where Robert Oppenheimer got the famous quote "I have become death, destroyer of worlds". Which is what the hero in the story named Arjuna said after using the weapon at the behest of the god Krishna who gave it to him.
@@LBCAndrew Thank you for making my point. I think their physical abilities were underestimated but that doesn't change the fact that they were highly superstitious people that lacked a deeper scientific explanation for the world around them and used the creation of Gods to direct their fears, hopes and aspirations to. They were trying to make sense of the world in the only way they could. Why did the river flood, crops fail, sun eclipse, star shoot across the sky, volcano erupt, disease spread, infants die/death in general. Gods gave them an outlet for the human condition necessity of understanding things out of their control. There are people today who see the image of Jesus in their breakfast toast or tree stump because it gives them hope. Also, why did those aliens stop visiting Earth (I know I know you will cite completely unsubstantiated clips, stories and blurry videos of lights)? Why aren't self proclaimed godlike rulers descending to Earth on a dragon in documented modern history? You are relying on lore as fact and ignoring other factors. The human mind is very creative.
Now I know how I’m spending the next few hours! So well produced, I’d watch this on Netflix
Very good and realistic observations. I agree these artifacts are most likely from an advanced society far older than the people they've been attributed to.
Thanks!
