Lost Ancient Technology: The Colossal Statues of Ancient Egypt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 вер 2022
- Evidence exists for a number of truly colossal statues that existed during the Ancient Egyptian Civilization. Carved from single solid pieces of granite, or conglomerate quartzite, several of these behemoths weighed in at 1000 tons and more. Some were transported more than 1000km from their original quarries, and the remaining fragments display amazingly fine details and features. A true logistical and technological challenge.
Could these statues, as well as smaller examples that display other aspects of lost ancient technology, have been inherited by the Dynastic Egyptian Civilization? Might they have formed the basis for the iconic artwork, style and culture of the civilization that we are all familiar with today? Why do we see a tale of two industries, primitive and advanced, in so many categories of Ancient Egyptian artifacts?
Join me as we explore these questions, and examine the evidence for truly colossal remains of ancient Egyptian statues, and forms of lost ancient technology, far beyond that which can be achieved by the tools and techniques that exist in the archaeological record.

i gotta say, not just your work, which i appreciate very much, but your way of narrating is genuinely enjoyable, the way you build your arguments, and explain everything down to detail is what i wish from everyone who is laying down any argument, the work you do is really awesome, and i look forward to every upload!
Ditto!
Same
I discovered him from the Koncrete podcast that he did and that’s what drew me to his channel is the way he explained everything
Enjoy putting his vids on whilst drifting off to sleep 😁
You took the words from my mouth...I love listening to this channel.
I‘m now in Cairo and visited the Egyptian museum today for the first time. Thanks to you I was able to look at some of the objects in display there in a much more inquisitive manner, the level of craftsmanship in some of the older pieces is just mind blowing!
Did you go into the great Pyramid? If so, what's your thoughts on that experience.
Fantastic ❤
Watching cemetery stone engravers for 35 years, seen turn of the century carvers trying to match that time period they have compressors to use their old chisels, they take a rubbing of the fonts then transfer it to the headstone and chip it out I never seen a stone that looks as clean as the mordern sand blasted ones, but they do match the old style that is what the family was attempting when finished? The old way took much more time could it be that the older statues had been worked on for a longer time?
51:55 That guy sitting on a camel while using a phone, that's an example of 2 technologies from 2 different timelines 😁
As a basically life long lover of ancient Egypt, as long as I can remember. This is absolutely fascinating subject and a difference I’ve never been aware of. Like you said at one point about seeing everything in its glory.. it’s hard to even fathom how incredible just some one single pieces would have been.
😊
😊😊
Last time I was this early the pyramids had casing stones.
Don't remind me
Cringe
@@Aria432 super cringe haha
Lol I didn't think it was cringe
Lol 🤣
Another winner here, Ben. Loved the "Gods Must be Crazy" mention - and so apt. Absolutely a cargo culture on display here but it could be argued, there are more than one.
Aye yai yai....... yai YAI!
The 3rd Gods Must Be Crazy is still hilarious if you didn’t know about it. Summon the spirit of Bruce Lee!
My mind is blown, unparalleled evidence right in our face this whole time. I remember learning these dogmatic timelines in gradeschool... such mockery of human achievement
Your mind is blown for what reason, conjecture? Let's compare my wood shed to the Sisteen chapel? Omg, the only logical explanation is aliens, or technology left by a long lost, advanced, forgotten culture. Surely with all the advancements of modem man, my wood shed should be orders of magnitude beyond a church made nearly 600 years ago. Think about that, the Sisteen chapel has a level of craftsmanship *LIGHTYEARS* beyond anything the Egyptians could ever dream of creating, and it was created nearly 600 years ago. Ig, never underestimate the abilities of man, especially those whom dedicated their entire lives to a single craft. K suspect there were literally thousands of men whom did nothing but make stone boxes, and they're people that are part of a craft handed down from generations. He keeps harping on *MOS SCALE* and high polishes, as if that equates to anything remotely relevant. Yiu do realize cherts and quarts were used as tools by cavemen, and they both have a Mos hardness of 8++. Dolerite is very similar to quarts, as is the entirety of the stone used by the ancient Egyptians, because it is very easy to work with. In regards to polish, ffs, the children probably did the polishing. Polishing is not difficult, it's time consuming, and you could literally use you hand, and sand, to create a mirror polish on Dolerite.
Their works are impressive, but pale in comparison to other works of art created by man, in which we have no question who, and when they were built. The Flavian Amphitheater was finished in 80AD. That's two thousand years ago, and is objectively a far greater display of craftsmanship than the pyramids. The Parthenon, temple of Athena, any number of Greek buildings have columns that are literally *THOUSANDS OF TONS* larger than anything the dynastic; I have no idea why he chooses to highlight the Egyptians were dynastic, it doesn't make him sound smarter Egyptians created. Why is it believable that the Greeks built temples and used pillars 150ft tall (larger than anything in Egypt) and used hundreds of pillars that were 500 tons, over two thousand years ago! When comparing the accomplishments of the Egyptians to the Greeks, the Roman's or the Chinese, Egypt, is not that impressive. This is comically ridiculous.
Btw every time he gives a weight on something, he's literally off by thousands of tons. For instance I'm watching this as a type and he just claimed a 5 ton object is 1000 tons.. This entire video is conjecture and ridiculous.
@Thomas Jackson you sound like your well convinced of idiocy. Your timeline is so far off idk what you're on about. Lot of off subject stuff. You are obviously not an engineering major, please save your long winded breath. Your living in the past, stay there if you'd like.
@@dubselectorr345 When you take the claims of someone so failing in even the most basic understanding of the subject, who overestimates the masses involved, then pretends it's not possible to do something that is clearly possible, you don't have any pretense to call someone else an idiot.
@nobody special Interesting claims you make there was no one being called an idiot, it is quite a fallacy to believe you can do these works as you and your colleagues like Zahi tell us was done with sticks and copper. Basic understanding fails to understand your logic nor anyone who claims this is "possible" by traditional means. You have no clue what your talking about.
@@dubselectorr345 If you don't think telling people what they believe is idiotic isn't calling them idiots, then stop and think about it more. Now, I know you think you know what you're talking about, but you clearly don't. The only people claiming the Egyptians carved granite with copper chisels are people like you, because archeologists say they used dolerite, which can easily be used to shape granite by simply hitting it. If you think that's impossible, then do everyone a favor and try it for yourself than come back and tell us how easy it was to actually shape the granite instead of how you simply "know" it's not.
I have been obsessed with Egypt and their statues since I did a book report on the Sphinx in the 6th grade, I am 54 now. I have a million questions, I watch your videos over and over again with pleasure and gratitude. Thank you for posting them, and will be buying some merch for your work ect.
The dopamine release I get when hearing your intro music is always the same, I know I'm about to treated to a masterfully crafted five course meal of nothing but brain food!
Thank you so much for all your hard work Ben, I consider myself very lucky to have found you
As an artist I really appreciate the close ups of these masterpieces.
Bro you’re a Soundcloud rapper

If you haven't heard, its proven that each block is poured, each statue is from clay molds, each vase is from clay molds, each hyro is printed with clay molds while the concrete is fresh. poly concrete..... If you keep trying to understand its because you're not paying attention to the studies. Watch Pyramid 4k 2019. There was no transportation of huge stones. Stop spreading bullshit.
Oh, me too ! I look for small things and it would be helpful to have a video in extreme close up of a particular artifact. Including all sides with good lighting. Exciting! 102822
Thank you so much for how you carefully study, document, take videos, and also inclusively share your trips with all of us. You are an amazing person and I want you to know how much you are appreciated!
Saw you on the JRE podcast and been binge watching your channel for days. My brain is melting from all this information. Incredible. Thank you.
Someone interviewed on this channel made the comment: It's like in 1930 you designed a Porsche 911 GT3 and then in 2022 you designed a Volkswagen Beetle. Such a scenario is only credible if your sophisticated factory, the designers and the drawings were destroyed and you had to basically start again from a very low base.
As an illustrator, well as a former illustrator (and artist for fun), I spent many years sporadically sketching Egyptian statues and constructs. Something about the weathered texture of the stone and the desert suns light and shadows that always translated really well onto the page with a good heavy cartridge paper and soft pencil.
Benjamin - your videography is far superior in quality & honesty and more detailed than anything I've seen!
(& I've searched for & seen alot)
Much gratitude for the work you do!
Thank you👍👏💜💜
One of the best channels out there on this subject. Well done mate! I am binge-ing all your stuff!
Awesome work, Ben! I really appreciate your attention to detail!
Superb as always! absolutely mind questioning stuff! Thank you! Cannot get enough the quality is by far the best!
Good work, your audio dB rises drastically between live tours and narration. Narration offer perfect levels. Keep up the great work.
Brilliant video!
You have shown so much detail that Iv never seen in so many videos I've watched over the year. Thank you.
incredible video again ben
comparing the first statue to just that of the knee of the second REALLY puts it into perspective the difference in the work
hats off again!
Absolutely fascinating! Wish we could go back in time and see what kind of civilization built these things and how. A whole segment of our human history we know nothing of, how unfortunate. These documentaries should be on Discovery, Netflix or History channels.
I agree. Replace ancient aliens with UnchartedX
Give you a clue it was the Egyptians
Total BS. Just say you can't believe Egypt was that advanced when your ancestors were living in the caves.
@@hamidhamidi3134 oh Hamid the ethnicity of the ancient Egyptians is fairly up in the air they obviously share heritage with the modern day Egyptians but I'd bet it depend on what period of ancient Egypt you would get fair different add mixtures. Plus to take credit for our ancestors deeds especially when it was so long ago is a little bit much. Obviously nothing wrong with being proud of you ancestors. My ancestors once ruled one of the greatest empires ever. Does this give me any kind of power in the modern day unfortunately not......
@@whysogrim697 the author called the people there as a "cargo species", people that somehow ended up with tech they had no understanding of.
and the point is, the guides tell tourist their ancestors, as if they are not the culmination of invaders, and conquerors for years and have ties to the contributions other than occupying the land.
these invaders have possession of something they neither have lineage to thru blood, nor inheritance. they were the ones that dismantled the monuments to build mosques. there is garbage and trash in the entrance to monuments.
africans here thru the slave trade were always told we have no history prior to slavery, and we were inferior, and barefooted and naked until europe saved them, which is obvious lies to support slavery and dominance. most people dont even count egypt as an african society. to date not one movie documentary has ever been produced hinting at egypts original builders or even hints at their origin. people would rather surmise egyptians came from space rather than attribute their accomplishment to africans, who for many years were homogenous.
there are sights on the internet (youtube) with stitched together assertions claiming egytpians to be caucasoid (what they will fall back on is the fact that caucasian species now ahas black people included, instead the newbies sharing traits with the original people they undoubtedly come from. recently the term caucasion was formed from a people coming from asia, and forming non melinated people (white euros) at the base of the caucasion mountains. which didnt happen until about 5k bce (approx 7k years ago), which is like about a 2000 years prior to narma . ethiopians and beja people, because of their similar skull, and those people the beja and ethiopians are almost ageless , and somehow are categorized as caucasion.
more euro sliding sensibility.
and the proof is in the fact that nubia is right next door, and even with the aswan damn construction burying much of the civilization, still has way more pyramids, monuments etc and is considerably older and has no tourist because it is plainly a black african society.
egypt captures 12 billion a year and kemets tourist supplies 13% of the jobs for the country, which none of the very few indigenous blacks are allowed to have.
the people that are there now dont even consider themselves african.
this is another case of african exploitation, without any one saying one word.
(note: now the guides will not mention their faux lineage when they see western blacks around, who will definitely shut that bs down)
This was an exceptional video! Phenomenal commentary, audio/video quality. Fascinating subject matter. This video instantly grabbed my attention and I didn't stop watching until it was finished.
Same here. Never seen this channel before. I just subbed.
Must be amazing seeing these things so close and in person. Especially knowing how old it all is. TY so much for your channel. Really makes you look at all of this different
Saw you on the Koncrete podcast, amazing content you are making. Couldt agree more with you on the excellent points you make in the video, allot pointing to a much older civilizations megaliths/technology being inherited/usurped, and then carved by the dynastic egyptians. Subbed and looking forward to following you on your journey!
Keep it up. I would always choose watching your videos over any Nat Geo historical documentary. Truly inspiring to listen to all the research you are doing. Thank you.

AWESOME BEN.
once again, you have made one hell of a video. Beautifully made my good friend.
Much love and respect from Maine
on the statue where you point out the dual cuts forming an angle...in the armpit....has anyone tried to measure the depth along the length of each? Because if its variable in each or both, depth measurements could be used to calculate a possible radius of the cutting tool proving a circular cutter. Proving the use of a rotary tool would be significant i think. ...Excellent presentation, thank you!
Good logic
Excellent and timeless explanation, you are really an historian...I hope Millions of people watch your videos before going to Egypt to really understand what they watch over there
Did anyone else catch that moving in the sky at 38:55, amazing work btw.
Another great vid! I like taking these tours with you, keep it up my sir!
Loving your work Ben.
Tfsharing your research with us.
Cheers.
So excited to see this kind of content back on your channel again, I've been subscribed since early days and although I love the content with other creators it's your in depth research and methodical layout of facts that I enjoy the most, as always amazing delivery and brings it all around full circle to your previous videos.

As always Ben you are on point!
Best Documentary I've ever seen on this matter !! As a Sculptor working mainly in Stone for a Lifetime I am satisfied about your words: Thank you soo much !! - Subscribed immidiately !
Interesting how you are satisfied with his words .
As a stonemason I cannot believe your comment unless you have not listened to what Ben has said , or you are not in fact a sculptor.
Bens videos are the best to rewatch to sleep at night. Calm, relatively soft, relaxed, certain, settled. Just excellent.
Wow, great video. I am looking forward to working my way through you others. Thank you so much!
Epic work as usual Ben. The mind boggles at what we have lost and what has been hidden and suppressed. Its clear that the history of Humankind is not what we are led to believe and we as a species are far, far older and have risen and fallen barely surviving a number of cataclysmic events.
I wonder if that is the reason that there is an obvious manifesto to maintain the 'established timeline'? That evidence found points to a cyclical rise then sudden and cataclysmic fall that is both alarming and threathening to the powers that be..
If there is evidence that civilisations have risen and fallen for tens of thousands of years (if not more!) then religion for one, loses is validity, power and control...
Keep up the great work...
Steve, I'm a Bible believer and find nothing wrong with anything Ben said here. It agrees with my Biblical view and it doesn't have to. It's really amazing.
@@tc25d Agreed. Some people believe that our "space brothers" is the same beings that made contact years ago.
@@mrvax2Hey. Not wanting to get into a theological discussion or argument but it appears to me that most 'believers' cherry pick what they believe in the bible.. Its either literal in which case (for example) its written that the Earth, the Universe and Everything is 7 or 8k years old which is proven to be untrue, or its not literal, in which case what is it other than a collection of passed down and massively rewritten and reinterpreted set of what? Clearly, there was not a bunch of chaps wandering around the Middle East called John, Paul ,George and Ringo so what else has been changed, omitted or amended to fit a narrative defined by a middle ages English King .. Anyway, I'm ok with anyone believing what they wish as long as it does not then forcibly impose on the lives of anyone else..
@@SteveAttwood I'm not sure what material you have seen about the Bible origins. There are New Testament texts made in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. It's possible to xlate the Aramaic or Greek into English yourself any time you have questions. In fact, it's fun. We now have software to help you do this easily. BTW: There is no where we find the dates of creation. Anyone who gives you a date is just giving opinion. It helps to carefully look into both sides, pro-Bible, anti-Bible. Then make your own decision.
If cataclysms happen in cycles, and powerful people know this, they will be prepared to weather that storm. They want the rest of us vulnerable to the destruction. They want to be the survivors to carry on the human race.
It's really weird how the quality of the pyramid construction went down over time. It still happens though, I'd cite the Jurassic Park films as an example.
It didn't go down over time, pyramid construction progressed up to the construction of the Giza pyramids, then after a time they stopped making these structures and later ones were less sophisticated - he's given you half the truth.
@@edelgyn2699 I assume you are correct. I mean, I don't seriously come to UA-cam for accurate information anyway. I usually use it as a sleep aid. 🥱
Here because of JRE podcasts..been missing out. Great work
I never thought about the inherited idea, but I can totally see it, let alone realizing how much sense it really makes. I have noticed some inconsistences in "quality" over the years, but not as much as you have pointed out. The higher quality items were definitely made much earlier by someone else and then reclaimed by Egyptians later on. Obviously, they made their own stuff, but the differences are pretty obvious.
Indeed, consider the fact that it is already plainly understood and accepted that the later dynasties inherited from the former dynasty.
3000 years from the first to the end of the last dynasty.
The first dynasty is literally ancient in comparison to latter days of the final dynasty. Cleopatra is closer to the opening of the first McDonalds, than she was to the time the Pyramids of Giza were supposedly built (in just it's currently believed time of construction).
Since we already accept this ancient inheritance, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to believe the first dynasty itself also inherited from a former more advanced ancient civilisation.
The whole united states was inherited
Nice to see more people realising this.
The evidence found in the stone already validates the existence of a civilization that *Mastered* stone carving in precataclysm times, so one has to wonder what advancements they had also achieved in medicine, machinery and mathematics
No it doesn't. If you are relying on UA-cam videos to present 'evidence' then you will have a skewed view of the archaeological finds that have been discovered. There are so many factual inaccuracies in this video that it presents a false view of what is known by those who work Egyptian archaeology; you aren't getting the complete picture. We have an insight into Ancient Egyptian medicine, machinery and mathematics from their early documentation.
@@edelgyn2699 so what are the inaccuracies
@@edelgyn2699 The Egyptians had copper as the hardest base metal for their tools, which is extremely impractical for cutting stone.
Always had been fascinated by the complexity, detailing, precision & beauty of the things from older civilization. The skills & how they were made really baffle the mind
Thank you
Very much thought provoking
I take your effort in mind x
Excellent work Master Ben! I always enjoy your videos and learn heaps from each one. Thanks for all of your hard work and production…⚡️🛸🐄🍄🐇🌎⚡️
The huge statue holding the broken scroll. Ramses II put his cartouche on the broken stump? Come on. It's obvious he didn't make it. Not personally I mean. He didn't have his people make it. It was already there, and all broke up even back then.
Hey Ben, glad to see you are back at it and making your excellent series and docs. I have to be honest with you, I was getting burned out with watching all those podcasts you were doing with 2 or 3 other U tubers. Your style and explanation stands on its own two feet and keeps me glued and dialed in.
You've confused fan-fiction with documentaries. This guy is either sincerely deluded or a huckster for clicks, making absurd rationalizations that defy all reason.
Amazing to just look around at everything and know this was left from a civilization that thrived thousands of years before you were even a thought.
One of your absolute best comprehensive videos. I also find it charming that people from Australia also use the expression "knipsion". That really caught me by surprise. Just goes to prove how small our world really is. Love your work Ben. Cheers!

Wow the quality of your argument and evidence is on point. Amazing video.
I love that you present a full argument every time. You give back ground and entry level information to form your stance about a potential pre-dynastic civilizations each time, so that someone completely unfamiliar with other content you've made can fully understand why you believe this, and I think for that reason it is very compelling.
Yeah, too bad most of what he states is incorrect, but whatever.
I just recently visit Istanbul and went there to archaeological museum which have collection of great sculpture. The quality is astonishing. It would be great if you could explain in video differences in tech used by greeks and romans to this in Egypt.

Great work as usual Ben. Just awe inspiring. An admission of “we just don’t know how this was done” from the mainstream would be a huge step forward. Love it.
I would love to see them reproduce any of these statues in whole rather than just claiming it's done a certain way, prove it can be done that way. Except there's a reason they have never done it, they can't.
Great video, I love these ones the most. I hadn't considered something now, the the pre-cataclysm stonework would looked especially good in a forest of some variant as back then it's unlikely that area would've been desert and sands.

Amazing documentary this was out together well!
Your channel is outstanding and always stimulating! Though I have to say that a few times I did feel like falling asleep but then I can’t stop digging through and binge watch your channel! It’s that good! Also, I know it depends on your feasibility and time, but if possible could you talk about cats and dogs? It is said that Cats were domesticated in Ancient Egypt (Bastet and Sekhmet) and they have Anubis based on the dog! What could be this mysterious connection of cats and dogs with ancient Egyptians? What is your opinion and where do you think these things about cats and dogs are coming from?
Another great video. I can never get enough. You're honestly the best channel on UA-cam!!!
Hi Ben. Great work. Totally agree we are looking at one possible two previous civilizations prior to the Younger Dryas. Great summary of our last trip. Great shot of my belly:) I see I need to stay away from the food bar on the boat on these trips:) See you again next month in Egypt again!
Of course the YD event was not just a one off, before which was millennia of global climatic tranquility. Civilizations may have come and gone with tidal regularity over countless millennia.
I guess I'm stating the obvious really.
That black stone vase standing on its tip gets me every time! - with 2 latches nonetheless.
Ben, I love your work. Please keep it up.
Another great vid Ben.
Unrelated to this one, I know you've done a vid on the stone lathed urns before, but I would be interested in your expanded thoughts about how they were made.
What intrigues me about their manufacturing is how the handles that you see on many of them would have been crafted if they were turned on a lathe?
Keep up your great content mate.
Ancient Persia and East India have a deep history of ancient stone turning techniques that is where those vases came from.
They have clay tablets that tell of the laves process and accounting records
of sales to other countries. 3000 bc Persia was the richest country alive
according to there ancient records.
yes there was obviously other tools/techniques involved for the handles, but much of the vase was turned, the toolmarks alone tell us this
Exactly, when looking inside the vases sometimes the turn makes are visible, especially closer to the base. Those side nubs (because I wouldn't even call them, handles) throw even a larger wrench in to our attempts to explain the methods of manufacturing, even in the context of our current tools. As a machinist, I don't even entertain the absurd, mind-numbingly inadequate explanations given by academia. Brut force and Copper is laughable to anyone who has physically built anything. The sheer number of them at over forty thousand is astounding, as well. Another issue I see is how unbelievably thin the walls are in some vases. The speed of rotation required to effectively cut that material would produce incredible centrifugal force, undoubtedly causing the brittle material to explode and fly in all directions. Those vases and many other artifacts were made with tools we can't comprehend and have nothing analogous to them.
@@vadimbellous8313 Agreed!!
@@vadimbellous8313 it just make it all that much more mysterious that we, in modern times, could not replicate the results with current technology let alone buy hand with copper chisels.
I think that these enormous works were carved during the Pleistocene and certainly before the upheaval of the Younger Dryas.
yes, carved by unknown alien civilization some 18,000 years ago
😅
Thank you Ben! Great video... Greetings from the Netherlands!
Love your delivery style Ben. No bull just inescapable facts. So many Academics these days are comfortable with their 'rightness' and just do not want to consider an alternative, however reasonable it may be.
Ben, I can't tell you how much I look forward to your content. Absolutely brilliant. The work you are doing is slowly eroding the orthodox ideology
"Slowly eroding". On the subject of ancient Egypt. Nice one 👌.
Not sure if consensus is changing.
Best spent hour of my week. What an amazing compilation of footage from the most under explained sites on Earth. I genuinely appreciate your open assessment of the techniques used around Egypt. Too bad others aren't more pressing to unlock all of the mysteries of our past.
If you haven't heard, its proven that each block is poured, each statue is from clay molds, each vase is from clay molds, each hyro is printed with clay molds while the concrete is fresh. poly concrete..... If you keep trying to understand its because you're not paying attention to the studies. Watch Pyramid 4k 2019. There was no transportation of huge stones. Stop spreading bullshit.
Can't get enough! Thanks
just wanted to say i love your opening song
it makes me feel we are on the traces of something mysterious and long forgotten.
Fantastic video Ben
The tour guide made a point about rougher surfaces in some statues being intentionally made like that so that paint would adhere better. This would support the fact that there were two different crafts in the process and may also give hints to the decline in quality. Maybe they worked out it that it was harder to make these super hard smooth surfaces look exotic or realistic and intentionally made that mistake.. did ceramics originally come from Egypt?
There was also paint, which has long since worn away.
Nice to join the channel. Found you thru Jre
your voice is awesome. Cannot wait for your audiobook!
Hope to see Serapeum boxes in person one day
Good video as usual! I wonder if anyone has studied the faces and analyzed them for similarities related to the quality (age) of the statues.
as always, pleasure to watch:)
Thank you so much for your insane good work!
Damn.. Ben.. You made this weekend much more bearable! Thank You very much. You are doing really great job. The best ancient technology channel on YT.
Excited to watch! Thanks for putting out all of these videos with all the technological inconsistencies but none of the wierd aliens and magic stuff. I can't see how the mainstream take could be right at this point.
But have you personally checked out the research papers of the other side to understand why the consensus reaches certain conclusions?
@@Vision_2 yes. Every single one.
@@atlaspowershrugged I am impressed. Well done. So you can see the flaws in Ben's views.
If we're honest, there is a deep rooted love and feeling for ancient Kemet by all that acknowledge the wisdom. This wisdom has been taken and hidden by those that wanted to keep us in ignorance. Now is the time Woman and Man to shine again
I'm still very very impressed with the seated Ramses 11 carved from the hillside. The more I watch your features the more it boggles the mind as to how this was done.
Do a video that goes through the math for moving that toppled statue on flat ground. Could a sled be constructed with just wood granite copper and rope?
i have my doubts, and so do a lot of people far more qualified than me to make that analysis
No other channel puts out content of this quality. Great arguments, observations, and attention to detail. Most vids on this topic are lazy and repetitive, or credit everything to ancient aliens. Glad you take your time on these and do them right. Great job👊
Enough commenting, back to finish watching
Wicked video buddy, such a cool subject. Insane, how perfect those objects were made
You never hear what sort of disaster would destroy these giant stone statues and temples
EaRtHQuaKeZ
Depends on when they were built. If it was before the Younger Drias, then massive floods. If meteor strike was the cause of Younger Drias, then huge shocks and vibration depending on where was the impact. It could've been as simple as one or more earthquakes over the centuries. Also if you see a broken nose/hand/leg then it's the work of radicals who could've even toppled some of the statues.
The giant carved hand looks to be holding a dagger hilt not a scroll but that's just my opinion as many of the smaller statues feature daggers that have an identical wave on the tip of the hilt. The more videos on this subject I watch the more obvious it is how little we really know about our lost history. One aussie to another, love your work ben + team! keep up the amazing research.
Can you make an episode on how the mainstream and other analysis can explain the crazy distruction of statuses and large stones and columns?! What would break such things made of hundreds of tons of hard stone? I wish someone can talk about this topic i searched all youtube about it
Thunderboltsproject looks at the occurrence of cosmic plasma events in the past in our cosmic neighborhood. These come close to explaining the scale and type of destruction evident in these megaliths.
@@anzacman5 I wouldn't put much stock in "solar plasma events" as advertised if I was you. The issue isn't how to explain how "solar plasma" could mess stuff up, the problem is trying to explain how any such thing was bad enough to do that there without slagging the entire side of the planet facing that way at the time.
When the sun does fire off a big bubble of plasma it's usually wider than Earth when it forms and is generally a million miles wide or more by the time it gets out this way. Considering there was no mass extinction like killed the dinos then nothing remotely like that could've happened.
Massive earthquakes would've been much more common between 18000 and 6000 BC as the ice sheets melted. It's not just the crust under the glaciers rebounding there also the 120 meters of added water column as all that H2O returns to the seas. That's over 100 metric tons per square meter of seafloor. This includes the Mediterranean and it's entirely possible that when that mass left the oceans and went to the ice sheets any number of faults now sealed shut by that weight might've been open and much more active than today all throughout the iceage. That could explain the prevalence of monolithic polygonal monuments (they might've learned it was all that would stay up) _and_ how so much of it is extremely damaged today.
The answer doesn't have to be that complicated.. often when a new ruler came into power, possibly with new religious rules/practices, for one reason or another they tried to delete/erase the ruler before. This has been shown many times by chiseling off the face of a pharoah on wall descriptions, etc. When it comes to the statues, earthquakes aside, you get a bunch of people, throw some large ropes over the statue and pull till it topples over. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Badda bing, badda boom. Done. You let gravity do the work.
@@johnassal5838 Interesting theory about earthquakes. I wonder if there's any way they can figure out if it's true.
@@secretnewmeta1981 As for the idea that currently silent or relatively inactive faults may loosen while sea levels drop idk. Short of experiencing another iceage perhaps computer modeling with best seismic scans of the sea floor may be able to answer it.
As for the idea that melting glaciers would've seen an incredible uptick of how strongly and how often quakes would occur, that's not really controversial though unclear in detail. We know we're talking about >40 _million_ cubic kilometers of water going from ice sheets to ocean basins after it's had time to depress continental crust half a mile in spots.
There's a well known correlation between seasonal snow load and the background of low level tremors; basically the crust in temperate areas deform ever so slightly under winter snow accumulation then bounce back when its gone. The quakes aren't normally perceptible though. That's nowhere near as much effect as an actual ice sheet would impose even if it takes a thousand times longer to accumulate and dissipate. And while the ocean crusts wouldn't see the same point loads as where the ice sheets were those ocean plates are much thinner and most happen to have well known spreading faults like the Pacific's Ring of Fire where frankly all hell would basically have to break lose compared to what we experience today.
Egypt has only apparently had one major quake in the last three thousand years or so but it does bound the Med and every square meter of the med would've seen over 100 metric tons added. Like most places there was never any glaciers close by during the iceage but there's a long list of places near salt water basins seeing a degree of loading and unloading far beyond anything experienced in recorded history... Unless someone was recording it but their civilizations records didn't make it through anyway.
Would love to see you go after the monolithic cities under the seas. No one has ever done a comprehensive case study, such as you do. Please consider...
Excellent video, thank you for sharing with us.
Amazing. You and your Egyptian friend should get on the JRE. More people need to hear your ideas
