Congrats on the 500k, I think the best value-for-value is to go on the Tours with you, Yousef, Karl-n-Russ, Mo, and everyone else who made the trip so easy for us in early February. I'm looking forward to your PERU tour! Great use of the mapping tool to show the spatial relationship of the sites. Keep up the great work, us fellow autistic detail nerds love your content!!!
@10:11 wow, crystal vases! Holy Moly, that's the first time I ever saw that! I don't they had any of those in the Cairo museum (I was on your Feb tour). Did I miss that or were there any displayed there? Maybe Yousef might know?
If you want a 3D image of a tube drill I would think if you lined the hole with rice paper and had an inflatable bladder you could make an impression with a small container of oxygen. Experiment different paper or materials first, but you get the idea...
After Ben's opponents' response to the vase scan project, it became pretty clear to me that establishment archaeologists and their adherents seem much more interested in "winning" arguments based on semantics rather than actually getting at the underlying truth of the matter. Ben has been extremely transparent about his quest for the truth, and the methodology he's employed to come to the conclusions/theories he has since the beginning. I have to say, it feels like we're pretty much at the phase where the evidence for advanced prehistoric technology of some kind is simply undeniable and overwhelming, despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth on the other side. But when you have people questioning the very concept of 'precision' then it feels like we're at an intellectual impasse. No amount of proof or evidence will sway such people, because their minds are already made up to begin with, that's clear. I'm just glad this man doesn't let that stop him from inquiring and digging further. I'm glad so many are supportive of Ben's work, because I think it's invaluable to try and understand where we truly come from.
@GarranTana swayed more by the fantasy that is old news? Similarly, I'm sure some of those who dedicated their lives to the discoveries of the Hubble telescope are in denial with the JWST results vs what they wrote books about 20 years ago or even longer. Sorry for people who are stuck in the past. Everyone else, literally, understands the old text books written with the knowledge of the time are wildly ridiculous and outdated. However, anyone is more then welcome to live like they did 100 years ago - no one will stop you they will just hint that you're stuck behind.
I’ve literally been watching your videos to sleep every single night for almost 2 years now. Absolutely in love with your narration and even more absolutely fascinated by the mind blowing reality of these artifacts and their implications. Thank you Ben
Can you imagine what Egypt looked like back in the day when these monuments were new? Wow, is all i can say. They are so imposing and awesome now in their decay; they must have been awe inspiring back then. I can't fathom what they must have looked like, it is beyond my vivid imagination.
It would be amazing to see although if you or I were there when they were active sites we wouldn't be able to get anywhere near them. We are not royalty nor high priests. So that would be a bummer.
@@kevinfoster1138 What do you mean actually man made . . I a man have machine tools , piles of them . . so this scenario cannot have happened in the past also ? , odd way of looking at things
We can not fathom it, I took some hallucinations that told me the truth, it was crab people who talked and walked like crabs while leaving no evidence behind and also Big Archeology is hiding it and ruining the world and our imaginations
Yes, it must have been awesome! Now, also imagine a very different landscape, probable lush with diverse fauna and flora. The irony is that the successive natural upheavals that were responsible for burying these ancient sites--how much more has not been uncovered, or is not allowed to be--are also responsible for preserving much of it!
I been a machinist all my life, and when I see the precise tolerances on those stone Vases, there is no way I would trust some mainstream archaeologist that has anything to say about these objects,
That's it. Right there. If you have the slightest education in precision you know that their story is impossible. Not improbable. Not unlikely. Impossible.
I studied anthropology/archeology but I had to stop. They would find a broken bone and make up all kinds of stories about how it was used as they did broken rocks. By the time I got to master's degree level, and read of the guy who found a dinosaur skeleton sans head, then how he recalled a dinosaur head miles away, and then he put them together, I was done. Later, they found a whole skeleton, and the skull he had used was all wrong. Tragic.
I don't think people quite understand how impactful these vases are that Ben talks about. I was in sales in the machine tool industry and have been around many CNC machines. They are some of the most mind-blowing inventions ever. The fact that our machines can't get the tolerances of these vases is absolutely mind-melting.
The fact that my replies which contradict your assertions are being deleted is mind blowing also. There are machines in the back alleys of Afghanistan that produce these "high precison" vases by the thousands.
Very cool that you're getting Yousef into distant sites far from his back yard. He's definitely earned respect for Egypt - now he can go see other mesmerizing locations. Very, very cool.
Yea is saw his comments on Danny’s show too and needed to turn off quickly and pace around the room. Absolutely baseless nonsense he spouts - which throws into question his entire thinking for everything else. It’s like a religious belief
No he gave a valid reason, centrifugal method of grinding basalt with basalt creates symmetry. He also raises a valid point never addressed by Ben, if they were so sophisticated why are some of the handles so rough, also if it was a machine why is every vase different? Plenty of flaws in these vases not addressed. I used to be a fan of Ben then did my own research, he's in an echo chamber selling tours.
I always wanted to go on tour with the late John Anthony West. When I got my first job and finally saved some money, he unfortunately passed. Now I’ll be putting my money aside to go on tour with your group eventually. Frankly, I regard you as his spiritual successor. Thank you for the work you do brother
I am equally curious as to the reasons why our past is being kept hidden. It leads me to wonder if the past reveals a cyclic pattern of predictable cosmic disasters that a few want secreted from the many. This wondering could fit the evidence we do know and answers many questions. Pretty miserable either way though.
Another great video Ben! It hurts me to see the unnecessary destruction that's happened over the years. I never did get to see those two boxes on my last trip to Egypt, so thanks for sharing that update. I hope they're still around when I next get back there.
Amazing how the Edfu shrine was depicted on the walls and in the cartouche. It clearly inspired the same awe in the Egyptians of the time as it does with us today.
My theory is that they were a kind of meditation chamber. It was clearly made for a single person to sit inside. It even has a step inside that acts as a seat. It would have had a door made of the same type of electroconductive granite while the iside would have been lined with isolating material. In an electrical isolating chamber you would be able to literally disconnect from this world and meditate much more easily. This effect would also help with healing and disease immunity.
I paused when you mentioned Flint Dibble on Danny Jones and went to check out that specific section of the podcast...oh man. His point essentially boils down to the fact that we know the peoples of the near-east, and possibly Egypt, around 5,000 BC were using ceramic wheels, and the levels of precision seen in the vases is a natural consequence of using a rotating production method, just as, and I'll quote Flint directly here, "you make a compass, you spin it around, you get a perfect circle." Hats off to Danny, because he immediately clarifies with what I can only describe as incredulity, "Within-...within the very-...within one one-thousands of an inch of variation?", and Flint confirms, "Yes, a compass will do that...". When I came back to this video, I pressed play just as you made the point, "..., but if it's an ancient chair, he's going to claim expertise on everything about it," which gave me one of the heartiest belly laughs of 2024. Your comedic timing there was almost like you knew I'd pause, go watch that section of Danny Jones, and come back. Bravo Ben, bravo. Also, just an aside after seeing yet more footage of hands scrubbing sand off granite; you should bring a brush on your trips. For rock climbing, there's a variety of what look like enlarged tooth-brushes used to brush off excess chalk from frequently climbed holds, with bristles just hard enough to get into the finer rock-texture and remove the choss imbedded in there. I just feel a painters brush for removing sand and a climber's brush are two tools you would find benefit taking with you on your excursions. A spray bottle for wetting vertical and/or irregular surfaces wouldn't hurt either. I dunno, just a thought. As always, love the video, thank you for doing what you do
I found some strange artifacts while hiking the other day. One artifact was some form of eye covering clearly used for some religious ceremony, made by a King Ray-Ban (his name was on it). The other artifacts were various glass vessels, with different king's names on them such as Coors, Modelo, and Budweiser. These artifacts were arranged around an a burn pit where the religious sacrifices, most likely of animal flesh, took place. Around the site I found many small stones. It is quite clear these stones were used in the creation of the artifacts and once the artifacts were completed the workmen just threw their tools down and walked away, as all good workmen do.
I value your effort to make all these amazing sites available to others for free, I value you as fellow Human Being and I value your friendship as a stranger.. sadly I cannot support with fiat currency but I watch and share every one of your videos. Thank you for being you
You have created not only a big channel but also significantly contributed to the creation of the topic itself. Obviously a TON of work and expense and some of the finest quality work available anywhere as a consequence. Expect continued growth in subs and rewards.
Your content here is fascinating, Ben; especially to someone who has always been interested in the incredible Egyptian past and history of these areas; but I cannot physically travel to see these places with my own eyes, because of paralysis; so the fact that you are sharing your ‘boots on the ground’ experience with everyone is just awesome! Thank you sir!
I've been following you since you had just a couple thousand followers, Ben and I find myself going back and re-watching your videos numerous times. They don't get old for me. Particularly your collabs with Snake Bros....you guys together brainstorming over film footage come up with some interesting observations and ideas.
I shared all of this with my CEO, an MIT engineer + multi exit (tech) entrepreneur…having a conversation with a “non-believer”, whose also highly educated was wonderful. There was no need for wrong or right, just a really fun conversation with lots of data, ideas and engagement. I appreciate you diving into these things in a scientific fashion, it allows guys like me to talk about things I love without people saying “ALIENS” 🤣
@@EvilXtianityI agree with your point about there not being a wrong or right. No one knows for certain because we weren’t there. Everyone’s theories are just that until someone invents a Time Machine. But let’s have the open sharing of ideas like Ben does!!
The part about the limestone inner casing is 46:21 was absolutely amazing! How could you even do that today with stones so big? Whoever built this was able to do it twice and make no mistakes. Just mind boggling
Your channel should be 5m+ it hurts me to see 'pranksters' and 'influencers' get the backing. I am in a tough place but have been watching for years and donate if I can.
Right! Some of us do actually want to see someting real and interesting and Learn new things. The other channels have a whole other kind of audiens i think but this channel should have 5 milion sub
Fantastic work as always, Ben. I'm always blown away by your ability to keep calm and professional in the face of the intransigent, and in some cases frankly childish behavior of the "academic" fraternity. Keep on trucking m8.
Agree. Ben is now the cutting edge of scientific inquiry into the mountain of anomalous evidence we have in direct contrast to established archeological narrative, while that community now seems to have taken the position of "peanut gallery" hecklers.
I'm an artist not an engineer, I build musical instruments and work as a graphic designer for a living as this is what I studied. Though my brother studied sculpture and has made many statues from variety of materials. I'm aware what it takes to work in granite or other hard materials of this nature. This level of precision and symmetry with only hand tools is very hard if not impossible. Let alone with copper tools on granite which is simply hilarious. Claims as those can be made by people that just don't have even slightest idea what work with a chisel and hammer on a stone piece means. About the boxes and the inset limestone "liner": Limestone is much porous than granite with mush less density. Can this be a sort of inner insulation temperature shield of sorts... ?!?
41:00 sooo true. I was born in 1973 and it seems like I blinked and now I'm 51. It happens so very fast. Ben, Congrats on your success with your channel, I'm glad you found the ability to turn your passion into a successful business. Wishing you continued success and that you and yours stay healthy and happy. Everyone have a wonderful day! Stay safe.
So great respect to Graham and to you. Probably I will never be there to look myself at that stones. But my imagination is beyond this World. But soon I will see Sigiriya myself.
Ben, again, you have managed to blow my simple mind! You present options or, possibilities, causing reason for open thought, and imagination. Thank you, for what you do, and how you do it.
Thanks again Ben. I’ve become utterly fascinated with this civilisation that built the pyramids. My imagination runs wild reassembling the ruins into what must have looked absolutely incredible before they were decimated.
25:49 This is similar to how you use hollows and rounds (planes) to make profiles in woodworking. Get the basic shape with rebate and bench planes, then use rounds and hollows to shape the curves by knocking off the corners gradually, making facets as you shape.
I get so excited when I see your thumbnails! Thank you for being so thorough and passionate about this. When I learned about ancient history in elementary school, I knew it was total bs. I believe my instinct was correct and your research solidified it further in my mind.
I found your channel by accident after searching for brien forester videos since he doesn't upload much anymore. Great insights, I'm just baffled why anyone would think bronze age people could carve diamond level hardness just for some sarcophagus.
Ben, I watch as many channels as I can find on this subject and I really like your perspective because you don't try to explain how they did all this, just THAT they did it and you bring in engineers and other scientists to examine the evidence and suggest how it might have been done or how we would do it today. Fact is we don't know how it was done. So thank you for not adding conjecture to the discussion. I'm so happy that UA-cam has created this community because without this forum I would not have known about the complexity of all these sites in Egypt, Baalbek, Peru, Japan, etc. Of course you learn the pyramids of Egypt are there but they don't go into the complexity of not only the the pyramids but the surrounding areas and even the pyramid's foundations. Megalithic stone works are everywhere on our globe but I was in my 60's before I knew about them. Better late than never. Thanks Ben!
39:40 flattening the 3D scan is actually quite easy. You'll have to cut it along a line and then "unroll" the surface by mapping it onto a plane. You can access all the vertices in a python script within Blender.
Ben, your work is truly, truly astounding. It's always refreshing to the hidden gems that you have uncovered over the years. I've always wondered why there has been so much resistance and push back from the mainstream archeologists over the past 50 years, but I have to remind myself of the complete chaos it would cause in achademia. The fact that history is NOT like we have been told, and that the evidence clearly shows we are not at the pinnacle of technological prowess. But there is clearly a hidden agenda in place by those who remain in control of the overall historical narrative, and perhaps with enough evidence and time, the truth will come out. Thank you for the work you have put into this research. I wish my finances were such that I could join you on one of your visits to Egypt, but alas that's not the case. So I will continue to watch your videos, and cheer you on from the sidelines! God speed, Ben!
Although I don't share your beliefs of "technology" I really do want to thank you for your videos we get to see so much more of ancient Egypt. Very similar to Hancock really bringing South America ancient civilization to the public eye.
"Arab Spring".. Reminds me of the sheer, barbaric vandalism that happened to the finishing stones of the great pyramids, getting turned into Mosques... Heartbreaking. This tells me all I need to know about these people.
when are people going to collectively realize that the people living in a place right now do not resemble the people living in the same place 1000s of years ago?
Hi Ben, iv been in the construction business for many years and to replicate the construction of the great pyramid would be an astonishing achievement even now
The bullnose was the first thing I noticed especially since I just spent my day building shelving at my parents house and using a router that cut that very profile into MDF. It’s mind blowing that they were able to do this in GRANITE. The multifaceted bead (bullnose) on the boxes on elephantine island were 100% made by some sort of machinery.
Ben, you and the serpent brothers debating dibble is needed. Grahams a legend but he didnt have the recall in that debate, he just sounded so tired and fed up of talking about it. I wonder what podcast you 4 could debate on? Lex fridman? Joe rogan? Danny jones?
Theres a channel called modern debates. They do all kinds if topics from religion, conspiracy vs science, to politics. I havent seen anything of the archaeology wars on there. I used to be a BOTS fan too. Would love to see those guys take on miniminuteman and flint. Milo offered another debate challenge to Graham, maybe that channel would be a great place for it!
I don't even think it's really necessary. Graham's rebuttal to Flint's lies has already got 500,000 views. No one believes the stuff Flint was saying. Everyone recognizes he's a liar And he's completely irrelevant in this discussion.
Amy, watching your analysis and appreciation is so good for me to watch kind of from the outside as it were, I can understand new things I just hadn't noticed before because I was too busy listening. I never appreciated just how elegant this composition is. It's simple, but the phrasing really is elegant. The microtone vocal control he finishes with could go so badly wrong but he nails it and it is the simplest, perfect way out. One of my favourite quotes, which I have used a lot, originated for me on my Chiropractor's treatment room wall. I have more than health to thank him for. It's motivational in nature and the author is cited as Joseph F Sugarman. I know it and the song by heart but untl a few moments ago they existed in their own little bubbles. "Within every problem lies a solution, so huge that it dwarfs the problem". Thanks for putting the light on!
Those tools marks are obviously power mechanized. And the tube cuts were by a machine that cut faster than anything I have ever seen. Generally the inside of a tube cut is very smooth due to the slow travel through the stone. It is more of a grind than a cut. And the mark at the very end of the cut shows the tool was very fine, thin cutting head.
Without a multidisciplinary approach we will never understand anything about the ancients. The engineering and manufacturing are inexplicable on their own, but as a truck driver my first question is obvious: how the hell did they move these massive manufactured materials before building with them? Same question for the megalithic sites all over the planet, and their inherent metrology.
Limestone inside granite, just throwing this out there, ancient leyden jar technology? (or something similar that needs materials for grounding and storing static electricity) and by the way I'm the Gold Miner that has messaged you a few times on patreon. There is no possible way to cut Granite the way they did without some kind of crazy technology. I use drills everyday to drill into Granite to blast it and it is not an easy thing to drill. We will bust the carbide inserts or even twist the drill bits once in awhile and that is with using copious amounts of water as a lubricant and coolant
Another awesome presentation, thank you Ben, and at 29:00 the idea of a video about the creation story or just a video about the translations would awesome to see also, thanks again budd, love ya work, 100% 🤙🇦🇺
Took a horse ride from Giza to here in 2012, it was deserted because of Arab spring, had whole site to ourselves. Next to the Osirion this was my favorite place. This is giving me chills seeing you there noticing all the bits we saw especially the crystal table and drill holes. Unfortunately the pyramid itself was closed but still an awesome experience
As always Ben, an outstanding episode! I absolutely love your work, you are so transparent with everything you do, and you have so much passion in all of this. Going to sign up to your UA-cam Membership as you definitely deserve help to accomplish all that you're doing which is very important work in my eyes and mind! Due to disability & mobility issues I'd never be able to see most of these incredible ancient sites, so being able to follow and watch work done by yourself and many others I follow is awesome. Keep up the outstanding work Ben, and again - big thank you! Getting to see and analyse such incredibly ancient stoneman ship, which lets all agree that they are way more ancient than the mainstream will admit! We don't need their validation, I follow the theories by good people like yourself!
Here's an idea i just had that I reckon is worth sharing.... if some form of stone softening was used (vibration or frequency). Then could we determine how soft something would have to be to allow the penetration rate and scorations seen in the granite? Maybe use clay hardened to different degrees or other materials. Might be interesting results 🤔
Thank you so much for these fascinating and superlative Egyptian wonder videos. Never fails to be of great interest and shows intelligence that is so often lacking in the academic archaeological establishment presentations and those who believe their limited willingness to see what is right before their eyes.
Love your work and gotta say that intro logo reveal is fire! Wish I could reach you and share some novel viewpoints that work perfectly with your own and explain a lot but I think you're already too big to connect with. Regardless, good work and good luck!

His point essentially boils down to the fact that we know the peoples of the near-east, and possibly Egypt, around 5,000 BC were using ceramic wheels, and the levels of precision seen in the vases is a natural consequence of using a rotating production method, just as, and I'll quote Flint directly here, "you make a compass, you spin it around, you get a perfect circle." Hats off to Danny, because he immediately clarifies with what I can only describe as incredulity, "Within-...within the very-...within one one-thousands of an inch of variation?", and Flint confirms, "Yes, a compass will do that...". When I came back to this video, I pressed play just as you made the point, "..., but if it's an ancient chair, he's going to claim expertise on everything about it," which gave me one of the heartiest belly laughs of 2024. Your comedic timing there was almost like you knew I'd pause, go watch that section of Danny Jones, and come back. Bravo Ben, bravo.
Also, just an aside after seeing yet more footage of hands scrubbing sand off granite; you should bring a brush on your trips. For rock climbing, there's a variety of what look like enlarged tooth-brushes used to brush off excess chalk from frequently climbed holds, with bristles just hard enough to get into the finer rock-texture and remove the choss imbedded in there. I just feel a painters brush for removing sand and a climber's brush are two tools you would find benefit taking with you on your excursions. A spray bottle for wetting vertical and/or irregular surfaces wouldn't hurt either. I dunno, just a thought.
As always, love the video, thank you for doing what you do
what a great comment man haha
I found some strange artifacts while hiking the other day.
One artifact was some form of eye covering clearly used for some religious ceremony, made by a King Ray-Ban (his name was on it).
The other artifacts were various glass vessels, with different king's names on them such as Coors, Modelo, and Budweiser.
These artifacts were arranged around an a burn pit where the religious sacrifices, most likely of animal flesh, took place.
Around the site I found many small stones. It is quite clear these stones were used in the creation of the artifacts and once the artifacts were completed the workmen just threw their tools down and walked away, as all good workmen do.
Bud Light artifacts are so rare they don't exist anymore.
A flawless analysis. Your Doctorate is approved

God damn imagine being able to explore the mausoleum underneath the sand
This is about the only channel I watch, start to finish, no skipping.
yep!
Thanks!
thank you!
I value your effort to make all these amazing sites available to others for free, I value you as fellow Human Being and I value your friendship as a stranger.. sadly I cannot support with fiat currency but I watch and share every one of your videos. Thank you for being you
You're a treasure Ben - to visit Abu Sir with you and Yousef was such a treat. Thank You!
Thank you!
You have created not only a big channel but also significantly contributed to the creation of the topic itself.
Obviously a TON of work and expense and some of the finest quality work available anywhere as a consequence.
Expect continued growth in subs and rewards.
Here because idk wtf just happened in my country.. Thank you Ben
Your content here is fascinating, Ben; especially to someone who has always been interested in the incredible Egyptian past and history of these areas; but I cannot physically travel to see these places with my own eyes, because of paralysis; so the fact that you are sharing your ‘boots on the ground’ experience with everyone is just awesome! Thank you sir!
Thanks for your hard work on this interesting and important topic.
Thank you!!
I've been following you since you had just a couple thousand followers, Ben and I find myself going back and re-watching your videos numerous times. They don't get old for me. Particularly your collabs with Snake Bros....you guys together brainstorming over film footage come up with some interesting observations and ideas.
love those guys
I shared all of this with my CEO, an MIT engineer + multi exit (tech) entrepreneur…having a conversation with a “non-believer”, whose also highly educated was wonderful.
There was no need for wrong or right, just a really fun conversation with lots of data, ideas and engagement.
I appreciate you diving into these things in a scientific fashion, it allows guys like me to talk about things I love without people saying “ALIENS” 🤣
But it _was_ aliens.
@@EvilXtianityI agree with your point about there not being a wrong or right. No one knows for certain because we weren’t there. Everyone’s theories are just that until someone invents a Time Machine. But let’s have the open sharing of ideas like Ben does!!
The part about the limestone inner casing is 46:21 was absolutely amazing! How could you even do that today with stones so big? Whoever built this was able to do it twice and make no mistakes. Just mind boggling
Agree mind blowing precision.
Thanks
Thank you!!
Always so excited to see a new upload always makes my week! Congrats on 500k mate
Your channel should be 5m+ it hurts me to see 'pranksters' and 'influencers' get the backing. I am in a tough place but have been watching for years and donate if I can.
Right! Some of us do actually want to see someting real and interesting and Learn new things. The other channels have a whole other kind of audiens i think but this channel should have 5 milion sub
Fantastic work as always, Ben. I'm always blown away by your ability to keep calm and professional in the face of the intransigent, and in some cases frankly childish behavior of the "academic" fraternity. Keep on trucking m8.
Agree. Ben is now the cutting edge of scientific inquiry into the mountain of anomalous evidence we have in direct contrast to established archeological narrative, while that community now seems to have taken the position of "peanut gallery" hecklers.
I'm an artist not an engineer, I build musical instruments and work as a graphic designer for a living as this is what I studied. Though my brother studied sculpture and has made many statues from variety of materials. I'm aware what it takes to work in granite or other hard materials of this nature. This level of precision and symmetry with only hand tools is very hard if not impossible. Let alone with copper tools on granite which is simply hilarious. Claims as those can be made by people that just don't have even slightest idea what work with a chisel and hammer on a stone piece means.
About the boxes and the inset limestone "liner": Limestone is much porous than granite with mush less density. Can this be a sort of inner insulation temperature shield of sorts... ?!?
41:00 sooo true. I was born in 1973 and it seems like I blinked and now I'm 51. It happens so very fast. Ben, Congrats on your success with your channel, I'm glad you found the ability to turn your passion into a successful business. Wishing you continued success and that you and yours stay healthy and happy. Everyone have a wonderful day! Stay safe.
So great respect to Graham and to you. Probably I will never be there to look myself at that stones. But my imagination is beyond this World. But soon I will see Sigiriya myself.
18:00 to 20:00 -- brilliant entertaining commentary! (we've come to expect)
28:00 one of most compelling objects ever.
This channel is so important, keep up the great work
No matter where Im at, I can always watch one of these videos and feel comfy and familiar.
Ben, again, you have managed to blow my simple mind! You present options or, possibilities, causing reason for open thought, and imagination. Thank you, for what you do, and how you do it.
Thanks again Ben.
I’ve become utterly fascinated with this civilisation that built the pyramids. My imagination runs wild reassembling the ruins into what must have looked absolutely incredible before they were decimated.
Best video in a while. The longer ones take me days to get through.
I spend days watching them again and again

25:49 This is similar to how you use hollows and rounds (planes) to make profiles in woodworking. Get the basic shape with rebate and bench planes, then use rounds and hollows to shape the curves by knocking off the corners gradually, making facets as you shape.
Lol , I see ben didnt give you a like.
@@aedancatel8576 er mah gerd. Sounds like something someone with a fragile ego might be worried about. Is that me? Or you?

This is so much more interesting than watching celebrity byllshit and gossip channels!
Best channel on UA-cam is UncharteredX
Congrats Ben!! Wow half million subscribers , awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Every one of your videos blows my mind with new information. Keep at it man. Legend. Cheers.
I get so excited when I see your thumbnails! Thank you for being so thorough and passionate about this. When I learned about ancient history in elementary school, I knew it was total bs. I believe my instinct was correct and your research solidified it further in my mind.
I found your channel by accident after searching for brien forester videos since he doesn't upload much anymore. Great insights, I'm just baffled why anyone would think bronze age people could carve diamond level hardness just for some sarcophagus.
Ben, I watch as many channels as I can find on this subject and I really like your perspective because you don't try to explain how they did all this, just THAT they did it and you bring in engineers and other scientists to examine the evidence and suggest how it might have been done or how we would do it today. Fact is we don't know how it was done. So thank you for not adding conjecture to the discussion. I'm so happy that UA-cam has created this community because without this forum I would not have known about the complexity of all these sites in Egypt, Baalbek, Peru, Japan, etc. Of course you learn the pyramids of Egypt are there but they don't go into the complexity of not only the the pyramids but the surrounding areas and even the pyramid's foundations. Megalithic stone works are everywhere on our globe but I was in my 60's before I knew about them. Better late than never. Thanks Ben!
Born in the '70s ! A 49'er here, fascinated by time, respect a '70s kid helping helping me along.
Finally another video! 😊 Grabbing a beer and enjoying
39:40 flattening the 3D scan is actually quite easy. You'll have to cut it along a line and then "unroll" the surface by mapping it onto a plane. You can access all the vertices in a python script within Blender.
Ben, your work is truly, truly astounding. It's always refreshing to the hidden gems that you have uncovered over the years. I've always wondered why there has been so much resistance and push back from the mainstream archeologists over the past 50 years, but I have to remind myself of the complete chaos it would cause in achademia. The fact that history is NOT like we have been told, and that the evidence clearly shows we are not at the pinnacle of technological prowess. But there is clearly a hidden agenda in place by those who remain in control of the overall historical narrative, and perhaps with enough evidence and time, the truth will come out. Thank you for the work you have put into this research. I wish my finances were such that I could join you on one of your visits to Egypt, but alas that's not the case. So I will continue to watch your videos, and cheer you on from the sidelines! God speed, Ben!
12:58. Covering up history they mostly likely don't want you to know about 🤔🤷♂️.
Truly excellent work Ben .
Another amazing video Ben! Thank you so much for sharing these with us. I always look forward to seeing a new post.
Thank you for this video, as always very informative….
Although I don't share your beliefs of "technology" I really do want to thank you for your videos we get to see so much more of ancient Egypt. Very similar to Hancock really bringing South America ancient civilization to the public eye.
I believe most glyphs were added later. The temples and structures are so precise but many glyphs are not centered or as precise.
"Arab Spring"..
Reminds me of the sheer, barbaric vandalism that happened to the finishing stones of the great pyramids, getting turned into Mosques... Heartbreaking. This tells me all I need to know about these people.
when are people going to collectively realize that the people living in a place right now do not resemble the people living in the same place 1000s of years ago?
Wow, you’ve hit a significant milestone - 500,000 subscribers! Congratulations!
Hi Ben, iv been in the construction business for many years and to replicate the construction of the great pyramid would be an astonishing achievement even now
Keep at it Ben! Amazing work, great content and truly inspiring! Love from the uk! 🙌
Crazy the core samples looks the same as the ones we have at the mine I work at. The markings on ours are closer together
I was just re-watching your Osireion tour livestream, hoping for a new video. Perfect timing lol. 🐍
The bullnose was the first thing I noticed especially since I just spent my day building shelving at my parents house and using a router that cut that very profile into MDF. It’s mind blowing that they were able to do this in GRANITE. The multifaceted bead (bullnose) on the boxes on elephantine island were 100% made by some sort of machinery.
Ben, you and the serpent brothers debating dibble is needed. Grahams a legend but he didnt have the recall in that debate, he just sounded so tired and fed up of talking about it. I wonder what podcast you 4 could debate on? Lex fridman? Joe rogan? Danny jones?
Matt Beall
I agree, but Graham did just put out a very good response on his channel
Theres a channel called modern debates. They do all kinds if topics from religion, conspiracy vs science, to politics. I havent seen anything of the archaeology wars on there. I used to be a BOTS fan too. Would love to see those guys take on miniminuteman and flint. Milo offered another debate challenge to Graham, maybe that channel would be a great place for it!
Dibble won't shut the fu** up long enough to have a cohesive conversation. He's annoying as fu** on podcasts
I don't even think it's really necessary. Graham's rebuttal to Flint's lies has already got 500,000 views. No one believes the stuff Flint was saying. Everyone recognizes he's a liar And he's completely irrelevant in this discussion.
Amazing! Best one yet! My mind is blown away! Thank you UnchartedX! Always love your work!
top notch quality content as always
As always fantastic video. Thank you for pointing out the sandstone liner in the box I never knew that and is pretty incredible
I will be there this weekend!! Perfect timing. Can't wait to chat after the trip!
Congrats on 500K!!! You deserve it with all your hard work. I could watch this content all day.
Absolutely great videos bro
Your fascination is continuing to feed my fascination! cheers bro, its hard for us kiwis to like you ozzy blokes :) youre one in a million
I just got the notification. Dinner will have to wait.
Just a long time lurker here, love the work you've done over these years. Thank you Ben, keep it up mate!
Sweet, Thanks for new video
One of the best UA-cam channels.
Amy, watching your analysis and appreciation is so good for me to watch kind of from the outside as it were, I can understand new things I just hadn't noticed before because I was too busy listening. I never appreciated just how elegant this composition is. It's simple, but the phrasing really is elegant. The microtone vocal control he finishes with could go so badly wrong but he nails it and it is the simplest, perfect way out. One of my favourite quotes, which I have used a lot, originated for me on my Chiropractor's treatment room wall. I have more than health to thank him for. It's motivational in nature and the author is cited as Joseph F Sugarman. I know it and the song by heart but untl a few moments ago they existed in their own little bubbles. "Within every problem lies a solution, so huge that it dwarfs the problem". Thanks for putting the light on!
Ben is the best video narrator ever!
Amazing!
I have no idea how you don't have 1mil+ subscribers
Those tools marks are obviously power mechanized. And the tube cuts were by a machine that cut faster than anything I have ever seen. Generally the inside of a tube cut is very smooth due to the slow travel through the stone. It is more of a grind than a cut. And the mark at the very end of the cut shows the tool was very fine, thin cutting head.
Without a multidisciplinary approach we will never understand anything about the ancients. The engineering and manufacturing are inexplicable on their own, but as a truck driver my first question is obvious: how the hell did they move these massive manufactured materials before building with them? Same question for the megalithic sites all over the planet, and their inherent metrology.
Ben, you're the leader in your field!!
Excellent video ben 👍
Best Channel on YT!
Limestone inside granite, just throwing this out there, ancient leyden jar technology? (or something similar that needs materials for grounding and storing static electricity) and by the way I'm the Gold Miner that has messaged you a few times on patreon. There is no possible way to cut Granite the way they did without some kind of crazy technology. I use drills everyday to drill into Granite to blast it and it is not an easy thing to drill. We will bust the carbide inserts or even twist the drill bits once in awhile and that is with using copious amounts of water as a lubricant and coolant
If you made a video on this, it would be excellent.
Im glad you took the time to defend Graham and point out how wrong Flint is and how damaging he is to his own reputation.
Another awesome presentation, thank you Ben, and at 29:00 the idea of a video about the creation story or just a video about the translations would awesome to see also, thanks again budd, love ya work, 100% 🤙🇦🇺
link to the paper is in the description - and i'll have it on my 'scripts' page im working on.
Love the cosmic you do
@UnchartedX yeah cheers Ben, I did find that but it's going to be my sunday arvo reading 😊
Took a horse ride from Giza to here in 2012, it was deserted because of Arab spring, had whole site to ourselves. Next to the Osirion this was my favorite place. This is giving me chills seeing you there noticing all the bits we saw especially the crystal table and drill holes. Unfortunately the pyramid itself was closed but still an awesome experience
I can't believe you only have 500k subs.
Algorithm needs help
Another fantastic documentary! Keep up the great work Ben.
Hey Ben, czech fan here. Let me know if you need any books or translation.
Love, love., love. Keep it up mate!
Great video man. Need you on Rogan again!!!!
As always Ben, an outstanding episode! I absolutely love your work, you are so transparent with everything you do, and you have so much passion in all of this. Going to sign up to your UA-cam Membership as you definitely deserve help to accomplish all that you're doing which is very important work in my eyes and mind! Due to disability & mobility issues I'd never be able to see most of these incredible ancient sites, so being able to follow and watch work done by yourself and many others I follow is awesome. Keep up the outstanding work Ben, and again - big thank you! Getting to see and analyse such incredibly ancient stoneman ship, which lets all agree that they are way more ancient than the mainstream will admit! We don't need their validation, I follow the theories by good people like yourself!
Here's an idea i just had that I reckon is worth sharing.... if some form of stone softening was used (vibration or frequency). Then could we determine how soft something would have to be to allow the penetration rate and scorations seen in the granite? Maybe use clay hardened to different degrees or other materials. Might be interesting results 🤔
What do you think Ben?
i think they used the collective power of consciousness to soften the granite and potentially lift the large stones, too.
Thank you so much for these fascinating and superlative Egyptian wonder videos. Never fails to be of great interest and shows intelligence that is so often lacking in the academic archaeological establishment presentations and those who believe their limited willingness to see what is right before their eyes.
Love your work and gotta say that intro logo reveal is fire! Wish I could reach you and share some novel viewpoints that work perfectly with your own and explain a lot but I think you're already too big to connect with. Regardless, good work and good luck!
