I doubt you'll see this comment, but I was one of the engineers at danville metal who 3d printed that exact vase you were holding!!! It's really cool to see something I made on your podcast because I've been a fan of this podcast for a long time. Thank you for opening the minds of millions of people, we need more thinkers out there!
"You do ask a lot of good questions" :Genuine and high praise from a man of Mr. Dunn's caliber. Basically, grilling a man for an hour and he's not bored of your curiosity Is great conversation.
This was a super fascinating discussion. Christopher Dunn is very humble , articulate and intelligent. I love how Joe has such an ability to confirm , clarify and pull out critical details from technically complex subjects. Jamie’s observations and input add much to the experience too. Thanks for this amazing , entertaining , intriguing discussion gentlemen.
Me also. tho I have not made as many chips, that you probably have. I run a 1942 NO. 3 warner & swasey turret lathe and a Lagun republic FT 2 vertical milling machine At my shop
Same. I was an at Egyptian exhibit recently and was blown away at the precision with which old kingdom vases were obviously machined at within .001 concentricity from the OD and ID. few people can really appreciate how difficult that is even today and especially 4000 years ago with extremely hard granite. However they did it was lost and that quality was long gone by new kingdom Egypt
The common concensus is that precise measuring tools, such as what you're using in this podcast, weren't invented until the 20th century. Cadillac was the first to produce "standardized parts". I forget the year, but they took apart 3 Cadillacs and scattered the parts about and managed to reassemble 3 working cars from the scattered parts. This was done to prove the precision of Cadillac cars. Before this, if you needed a replacement part, it had to be manufactured to fit your particular need. There were no parts stores at that time. I find it fascinating that something this old could be so precise.
Christopher Dunn is my uncle. I have not seen him for 15 years as Texas is far away, he used to send me postcards in near perfect calligraphy print handwriting. Very honorable man.
Chris is also my father’s 2nd cousin he used to send me paper airplanes from different parts of the world perfectly engineered to have a flight duration of exactly 3.14 mins with a 3.14 degree drop off every time!
Chris is also my uncle. He took me on an archaeological dig to Teotihucan when I was a junior in high school and he speaks fluent Spanish as well. It was pretty cool we met up with some of his old military buddies in Mexico City and that’s where I drank my first tequila, Uncle Chris sure knew how to have a good time I’m glad he’s doing well
I am a quality control inspector with 14 years experience in the manufacturing field. And when he says that this material is measuring at a thou. Or a thou and a half .001/.0015 that blows my mind the accuracy of these ancient artifacts. Amazing.
you would really enjoy UnchartedX. He is Ben and was on jre with Jimmy from Bright Insight. Ben has excellent videos covering the advanced machining evidence in ancient artifacts. in a recent video Ben was there with Chris, and they have the real vase on the turn table and just watch the indicator gauges holding shockingly steady. I highly recommend Ben's content
As an mechanical engineer, everyone of my colleagues instantly see the points made out by Mr.Dunn as soon as you show them. Takes an engineer to see an engineer. Our ancient forefathers had some serious advanced engineering skills!
@@aphysique I work both in theory and in practice and have come to the conclusion that: In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is. I would love to see a small model of it though!
I think the Egyptians FOUND all the stuff they took credit for. It's the same as the Pharaohs putting their name on everything. Then the Egyptologists ASSUME that Pharaoh built it. That is the 'Assuming' they are trying to hide behind, it gives them POWER.
@@miltonturner2977 if this is true and the pyramids are older than 5000 years (which I believe), it still does not answer who, how and why they built it.
Please bring him back again!!! I usually listen to most podcasts casts at 1.5x but didn’t realize I was listening at normal speed. More often than not I have a hard time maintaining focus when I listen at normal speed. He speaks a lot slower than many and usually it would drive me crazy but I absolutely enjoyed every moment! Similar to a really good book or movie, I’m a little sad that it’s over. I want to just sit and learn from this man I suspect there is so much he didn’t say and so many theories that should be investigated that he doesn’t want to discuss because they are unproven. I’m fed up with the portions of science that have closed the book and believe they have everything figured out. If that were the case with medicine we would still be treating humors and bleeding patients.
@@priscillab1109push the litlle radar wheel in the right top of youre screen. You will see a menu, one of the choices is the the speed in wich the video is playing. You have to tough the screen first to see the wheel.
I felt the same way lol Joe trying to understand thousandths and tenths was funny lol it was neat seeing how metrology was used in the inspection of artifacts
As a machinist myself hearing someone on Rogan talking about thous and tenths and hearing the words "depth per revolution" come out of rogans mouth is blowing my mind!! Love it
@@AIenSmitheeAh the indoctrinated mind 🤡 The blind will never see the anomalies, or the absurdities, of their own perspective. And those that can't challenge their own thinking, cannot credibly claim to understand the issue
As someone who works in aerospace mfg (metal finishing), I love that Joe has an engineer talking about one of the greatest mysteries of all time! This guy is speaking my language!
Amen to that. As a machinist evolved into an engineer I have great respect for Dunn. That man's capabilities transcend "education" and "consensus". Great to find another on the same page as I am.
@@cocacolaman7092 actually I solve manufacturing (machining) problems (mostly fix errors in computer generated g and m code, as well as optimizing production and tool life to production speed ratios) and teach other people how to do the same. Its not very glorious but I'm sure it's better than driving a delivery truck.
I had an old machinist friend who Chris reminds me of. His name was John. Old vet. Worked at a machine shop. I would go visit him every day after work. He showed me how to use a lathe, mill, precision grinder, tumbler... you name it. He was a genius as most good machinists are. We need more Mr. Dunns in this world. I miss visiting John. RIP. Thank you, Joe for having Mr Dunn on your show.
No one else could make me interested in listening to two guys talking about drill effectiveness except for Joe. Bravo. That’s the beauty of this podcast.
Chris hired me at my job 27yrs ago and it was a pleasure working with him. I remember when they filmed an episode of Ancient Aliens in our shop years ago. I told the guys in the shop a year ago that I had a feeling Chris was going to be on the JRE……Nice work Chris 🍻
my dad runs a cnc machine shop... for 30 years plus... growing up I thought it was the most dreadful place... Mr. Dunn has given me a spark of interest.
Its so nice to see Mr. Dunn looking so healthy. Whether or not you like any of his research, he is a pillar for modern independent or amateur researchers of Ancient Mysteries. His latest collaborations with other engineers that have some very impressive resumes are exciting.
These are my favorite kinda episodes. The ones where you gotta turn off all notifications and get somewhere quiet because shits about to get real in the rabbit hole.
@LesterBrunt Imagine valuing money over knowledge. Knowledge is power. Even PBD said it and he said he'd rather have knowledge over huge amounts of money because you can become rich with vast amounts of knowledge.
@LesterBrunt there's a lot more to a trip to Egypt than that. I have friends in Egypt I would love to visit, and the Nile cruise, hotels and cuisine, concerts, and yet staring at rocks with Ben. I'm not sure how you value your money, but I would see it as money well spent. God bless
@@slyhawk57you're off your head mate, no one understands the real applications of technology in regards to reality than engineers. The great thing about Chris Dunn is that he is ground in "academic science", there is no other person you should be inclined to listen to. Especially someone who's time served for over 45 years. I'd done my mechanical engineering apprenticeship and unfortunately changed course, I wish I hadn't, but I'm telling you, I met some unbelievably skilled old boys and they are worlds away from your understanding. They are extremely intelligent people, and again, the most important thing with their trade is the applicability to function in reality.
@adamwilkinson6721 😆 I am an old boy. A proper one.... I think you may have succumbed to both over excitement and also the dunning kruger effect. I can guarantee you this buy has very little idea what he's talking about, he's making up stories based on tiny little bits of reality. It's a common trick some people use to make it sound they know what they are talking about.
@adamwilkinson6721 yes 'ok', but I'm certainly not your 'pal'... don't get above yourself. One day when you've gained some actual life experience you'll realise you've been taken for a fool. I totally agree that engineers understand a huge amount within their field, but the fact you think this guy is an 'engineer' because he's used a lathe or two is quite frankly hilarious. You have a lot to learn young man 😅
... confirmation biased people you mean ... because ... no ... all cores dont show a spiral .. majority .. just DONT ... they are UN INTERESTINGLY matching what the fuckin copper pipe and sand do. And few anomalies dont prove shait.
Love joe going back to the roots of the podcast, personally i was getting a bit tired of the uptic in politics and social issues, so these recent weeks of episodes has had me delighted!
Can't relate. I enjoy a comedy break away from the constant high brow conversations. But that's the beauty of JRE, there's something for everybody to listen to and you don't have any obligations to watch them all. Great show.
Joe is getting better and better at asking the best questions. Not that he's ever been bad, but the direct nature of his question asking to his guests is drastically improving and makes it easier to follow along. Cuze when you're watching, you can get blown off your feet with all this info, and the right questions help see the other side and flesh out the topic completely. Go Joe!
Chris Dunn is a legend! Great guest! He’s on Mt. Rushmore w/ Randall, Graham & John Anthony West. Also his voice reminds me of Albert Finney in Big Fish
One problem with finding machines, or tools, made out of metal from thousands of years ago is that it's not missing, or buried, or undiscovered, it was found by people...melted down, and recycled into something else. Metal is pretty hard to get and make out of the ground, and this process of recycling is still done today. Walk past a building being torn down and there's a pile of iron or steel reinforcement rods aside from a pile of concrete because it's valuable and easily recycled off to become..whatever. Think of all the armies that have ever existed ever using metal weapons, archeologists find one today from Rome it's because it's underwater, or hidden in a cave, but other than that you'd think they'd be everywhere, no, they were recycled over and over and over. Even the casing stones in the great pyramid were recycled to build Cairo.
I wish your comment was pinned Octaviousrex1080. It's ashamed that ancient tools get recycled over time. For example, the thieves who stole the original FIFA World Cup trophy likely got melted.
And the other point is depending on the antiquity and remembering what Randall Carlsson imparted about how long metal lasts in the open environment maybe some just blows away on the wind
As a blacksmith for 15 years I agree.I smelted steel from iron sands and ore and I've forged metorie.I don't think it's a stretch to think iron and steel could have been produced then.Egyptians had the bellows to reach iron smelting temps.Also you don't just start forging that iron dagger in tuts tomb,it took someone or culture with a history of forging iron.Foring metorite,depending on the impurities,can be extremely difficult and requires skill.
I don’t think it is that hard to get metal is abundant imagine before it was mined for everything that we use now how much metal must of been in the ground just waiting for a quake to shake loose.
I am amazed at how how in contrast to Dibble, its so easy for Dunn to say “well, that’s interesting. I’ll look into this…” it’s such a different vibe. So much more open. It’s logic and critical thinking used in a more appropriate way to serve knowledge, and so authentically curious.
It's the easiest deflection. "I'll look into this" then the point is done and he never does. People like Dibble meanwhile get rather annoyed when you misrepresent their field of expertise to their face.
@@Alexander_Kale "Field of Expertise" He's not a physical scientist. He's a glorified social studies Indiana Jones LARPer, so is Graham. Dunn isn't, he's a real engineer. Get another Engineer to counter, not Diddle.
@@TheVaged As far as I can tell, Dibble has a Ph. D. in Classical archaeology. He has multiple publications to his name and he is doing actual archeology. So yes. Field of expertise. I dont give a damn whether you like his hat, the man knows what he is talking about. So how about you drop the petty insults? Meanwhile, for an engineer, Dunn has dodged an awful lot of questions in this interview and brought very little actual data. Whenever Joe tried to nail him into giving him precise measurements, or asked for points of contention between DUnn and archaeologists, Dunn dodged. E:g., when the 3d printed vase was brought up? Not only would measuring the print be pointless, because most printers are not very precise, at no point whatsoever did Dunn say that these tolerances were in any way out of the ordinary for vases, or if so, by how far. A very easy way of showing this supposed superiority for example would have been to list a couple of contemporary vases with vastly larger tolerances. For some reason he did not do that. When Dunn was asked what the contemporary opinion is on how these precise tolerances were achieved, he dodged. He mentioned how others were mean to him, pointing to less precise vases as a counteragrgument, but he himself in no way shape or form said how widespread his high precision vases were. How am I to know Dunn isn't the one cherry picking here, taking the one vase from the batch that had higher precision by accident? Then there was the thing with the visual fotography of th face he showed. He effectively admitted that he had no idea how precise thos proportions actually were, but claimed them to be special anyway.
Dibble is an actual subject matter expert, so he's not likely to find any given spurious argument "interesting". He's just going to feel annoyed that something illogical is being passed off as plausible.
Finally, I’ve been waiting to see Chris Dunn here for yeeeeaars!! It’s so nice to hear someone who actually knows what he’s talking about, and Chris is one! This should have been at least the podcast #4 with him, not #1! He’s work is absolutely brilliant and founded with knowledge and changes everything: in my estimate he’s the most underrated author about the Pyramids and he’s THE Most important and the most humble one, one in contrast: absolute genius! His work will be appreciated in 50+ years when he’ll be long gone, unfortunately… Chris, please go do some steam cell treatments so you can live another 50 years to see that, thank you!!!
He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. He's a complete fantasist... even calling himself an engineer is hilarious. So much he says is absolutely verifiable rubbish 😂
we really need people like Christopher Dunn. When talking about Egypt, Flint's arguments felt weak, but yet his attitude was like "believe the experts or be labeled stupid".
He didn’t do that at all. He presented evidence and data. If evidence and data is not useful and you’d prefer to just listen to some cool stories, seriously, that’s fine. But please don’t pretend you care about science.
If you listen to the counter arguments it's apparent, they think these are facts, even the official narrative is just a theory as well not based on first sources, but what historians wrote about ancient Egypt thousands of years later. There was a catastrophe with the Younger Drias, because 150 huge mammal races disappeared quite suddenly. There were Elephants in America and Mammuths. Official cause of distinction is, they were all killed by humans. The few million worldwide that existed during that time. There are too many very unscientific explanations regarding our past.

Why not though? People who claim to be intelligent enough to understand things but closed minded and unable to process new data are degenerates of our time.
I’ve been waiting for this podcast for years, thanks so much for having Mr Dunn on Joe. I’ve been obsessed with his work and loved reading his books. I really hope it gains more traction and they complete his work one day. Makes the most sense to me
Joe, this was brilliant. You provide an environment where free thinking rebels can explain their theories - this is just so important for nourishing new ideas, theories and science. If people like Christopher did not have your show, he would be cut down and cancelled by the self appointed experts. You are doing society an incredible good by allowing people like Christopher to address the broader community. Thankyou, and keep up the good work.
I just saw Chris a few days ago, him and his wife came in to grab lunch where I work. Outstanding gentleman. Always a pleasure to have a quick chat with them.
Fascinating and a totally engrossing conversation and exploration with Mr Dunn and Joe who when he interviews and is interested really shines with his genuine focus.
Joe jumped on him from the beginning took him to the ground like an MMA fighter and never let him up. Like my dad would say he pumped him for all his dope.

As a Journeyman conventional machinist with 20+ years experience, this episode makes me so happy to listen to Chris describe the trade I love with my whole heart
A proper engineer from Northern England..."you do ask some awkward questions....",in that Lancastrian/American accent made me laugh out loud! Wonderful man, great interview.
Christopher Dunn is amazing. I worked in a tool and die shop, and I worked for Smith and Wesson also a lot of engineers like Christopher Dunn. I am in such awe of really good engineers,I wish I could have been that good. I was always so Jealous😂😂😂😂😂. Thank you.
JOE a massive fan very off subject but my Australia government and my freedom to talk can cause me trouble I know you probably won't have any time to read but hope is all I have and I'll use it,thanks for all the truth and help to the young men that are very lost atm
I read Mr Dunn's book over 15 years ago and it was very convincing as well as being a well-structured read through which I got in little time. These structures all over the globe are just incredible...
Christopher Dunn is the uncle for everyone. Full of real experience, knowledge, thought and expertise. A man who understands materials & machines and asks the questions pure academics refuse to confront as the answers are incompatible with their careers, ideas and credibility.
I've been using manual lathes for years at home, but I got a job 2 years ago running Swiss lathes. After learning that job, I began to understand just how difficult it would be to make those vases everyone says are "handmade". We could easily make one using a 5 axis mill with a separate op to finish the base. I don't even know how you'd make one on a regular lathe without some complicated workholding and multiple ops where the piece has to be removed from the chuck and flipped around. You'd need a separate driven tool to mill in between the lug handles and some way to control your rotational axis. And this would all be out of metal. I have no clue how you'd do it out of granite.
I was IMMEDIATELY begging for Joe to bring Mr. Dunn on post-Dibble. Because once he insisted on the copper tooling and water/sand...I was a bit shocked that a man insisted "We KNOW they used copper and sand with water"....lol...wuuuuut...go try to drill a slab of like...Fuggin...ANYTHING harder than the COPPER with those things and then let me know how that goes pal...
As someone who sold drill bits the guest is 💯. So glad he pointed out the finish in the cores needing a closer look. I lean towards one bit for that finish. Either way. 🌎
I think the one of the key things that is missing from this history is the possibility that the Egyptians didn't build the pyramids. I think it reasonable to assume that they found them and built their civilisation around them. They didn't know how they worked. The Egyptian's kept meticulous records yet no written records or story survives regarding how they built possibly the most impressive structures to ever grace the earth. They probably stopped being functional and the knowledge surrounding them was probably lost during the cataclysm that took place during younger dryas (along with 90% of human kind). Egyptian royalty have a proven history of reworking prior works and claiming it as their own. I think these points fill a small void in works done by Dunn, Hancock etc. The reason no other pyramids compare to the main 3 at Giza is because the Egyptians' attempted to copy the main three they had inherited.
EXACTLY!!! I think the Egyptians found the site and mimicked the people as a way to assume authority over the masses! Most/All megalithic sites are NOT claimed by the "indigenous" people... they usually explain how their people stumbled upon the amazing sites!... Which is easy to see in places like Pumapunku and Sacsayhuamán!
@@onestoptechnologies7305 I've also been to Sacsayhuamán. For such a "modern" civilization it makes zero sense as to why the methodologies as to how that stonework was produced hasn't survived even through stories/myths. They simply didn't have the knowledge to pass down through time!
@@YouSaveTheDay Yes, They would not have just "forgot" to pass on the most amazing/advanced methodologies. I can see not passing on a recipe that one person knows, but not something used by the massive number of people it took to build those! Something massively catastrophic had to happen to wipe out this level of advancement. Like meteoric impact/Younger Dryas/Great Flood. The "tabs" on the stones, the "pillow" shape, interlocking blocks and metal key-clamps that match across continents imply an interconnected civilization on Pangea. I can't help but think ante-diluvian civilization.
@@Maximus0051 Who knows? (tbh that goes down a conspiracy rabbit hole). At the end of the day, if these structures were as modern as they make out, tales of how they were constructed would have passed down through word of mouth/stories etc. You don't just collectively forget how to do something that special.
I just LOVE how Mr Joe regularly uses 'manners' , thank you Jamie, could you show that please. so many people forget how important basic respect can be.
Having spent time building and rebuilding American V-Twins, I understand the importance of tolerances on machined parts and how tight they must be… I’ll say this, NO car, motorcycle, or vehicle on any type built by anyone has tolerances as tight as what those vases possess. PERIOD.
It's not as if tighter tolerances aren't possible Metals can be perfectly friction fit today Those engines don't have extreme tolerances bc they would seize if the tolerances were too tight
@@lhh6627 You'll have to ask the OP what engine tolerances have to do with stone vases. But my presumption from the context is that he's essentially claiming that such tolerances are not possible, or at least very difficult to produce today. Of course, that is not the case, and much tighter tolerances are possible today.in any case, it's a misleading comparison, which is my point. The idea that humans can not hand work materials to precision is nonsense. Dunn makes similar misleading comparisons while ignoring examples of precision hand work in other areas. The best fit firearms are all hand fit. The best cut gemstones with highly complex and accurate geometries are hand cut... Human skill alone can produce high accuracy and tight tolerances.
If you are talking about the 3d print, keep in mind, that thing has the tolerances of the 3d printer, not the one of the actual vase. by printing it, you introduced an error into the equation, or alternatively removed one from it. On the other hand, ask yourself this: why in blue blazes would they do something on pottery that we ourselves do not do on precision machinery? Why would they bother? Why wouldl anyone design a machine that makes pottery this precise?
As a Machinist I had a thought. When he was explaining a divot carved out of the wall of one of the shafts and they weren't sure the purpose. I thought of a possible purpose. So when you have a metal hole and you try and put a perfect sized metal dowel in that hole it will be pushed out from the pressure. However If you machine a small pressure relief hole on the O.D. (outside diameter) of the shaft it makes it possible to put a perfectly fitting dowel in that hole. Maybe it's some sort of pressure relief for a some sort of piston like structure.
You're a machinist!? Great! My wife is looking to make her dildys a million times stronger. We want a join toy I can stick up my rectum. Is that something you can help us with? We tried taping 100 electric toothbrushes together and it didn't work.
Trouble is, the core sample he is referring to around the eight minute mark is not at all as he describes it, he is implying the signature of the cutting tool tracks around the core he is discussing uniformly, with uniform rate of penetration, spiralling down. [I have worked in engineering also, am a skilled, professional craftsman who has worked a broad range of materials - so him not seeing the obvious flaw in what he is saying here is not a good sign at all]. If you look at photographs of the core he is describing (that have not been overlaid with simplified graphics asserting this presumption) you can see very clearly that the grooves around it are not uniform and do not progress at a fixed rate like a machine drill, the grooves wander around, they do not spiral down, they wander in the space of one cycle. Anyone who understands how a machine drill functions knows that means this is not the signature of a machine drill. All these things evidence hand worked abrasive core drills and, though I wish it were not the case, I can see he is choosing his words very carefully here and I think it's because he knows that he is portraying an image which completely contradicts the evidence and indeed paints a false picture of the artefact he is describing - because he needs to maintain that to maintain his position. This is the trouble with Lost Ancient High Tech advocates, and I'm the last person to bow before academia, but, there is a LOT of VERY conscious, cautious cherry picking in this LAHT culture... it has very cult like qualities and I think this fella is demonstrating that right here.
@@JesseP.Watson he was allowed to take molds of the core, and he also had a skeptic with him who wrapped the core with a thread. It's a continuous spiral groove
@@superstitiouspre-literatep9730 It really isn't a continuous spiral groove, they did not follow the groove at all, they corrected the deviations with the thread, I've seen photos of that, they are very clearly attempting to mask those characteristics that do not support their narrative. SGDSacredgeometrydecoded has a video debunking it, not a difficult debunk, just need to look closely at the photos these guys promote as evidence because most of the time what they show as evidence of LAHT actually disproves what they say if you look closely. SGD has actually done the experiments they won't do with copper core drills, using abrasive paste, working granite, he's got precisely the results seen in the artefacts, plain as day. These guys are selling their tours, a brand, the Atlantis brand, not genuine enquiry - Bright Insights actually threatened to sue SGD for his debunking him, that's what goes on behind the scenes in this club, I'm very much into challenging orthodoxy but these guys are charlatans, plain and simple.
@@superstitiouspre-literatep9730 No it isn't, plain and simple. Don't listen to what they say, don't look at their graphic overlays, look at the ARTEFACT, the inconsistencies are plain to see. I have seen a picture of that thread you mention wound around that core and they used it to correct the deviations of the grooving, very clearly. Look closely, it's plain as day.
This is like the 3th podcast I've watched with this Dunn, plus I've watched his presentations on how he believes the pyramid worked as a power plant. This guy is fascinating. Because of guys like Chris, Ben, and Graham, we could crack this code within the Millennials lifetime
@@onestoptechnologies7305 so it is easier to understand that it was a power plant rather than a tonb? Well, this happens when you have never opened a book in your life and "learn" from TH-cam shorts 😂😂.
@@politicallyincorrect2564 🤣🤣U..R what happens when you make assumptions without ANY knowledge... LMA0... (Ivy League Educated - 3 STEM degrees)🤦♂ Have you EVER looked at the ACTUAL beautiful tombs? Then look at the inside of the pyramids... L0L!!!
Gotta love Joe Rogan's boundless curiosity. His penetrating questions show his genuine interest and sincere desire to understand how the Giza pyramids worked as scalar energy devices.
I live in Scotland, Aberdeen , the Granite city , I'm a monumental stone mason ,a journeyman. When the people I've had the pleasure of working with over the years and I see those core drills and the way they have been produced it blows our minds that those exist from that time period. These are produced everyday in the factories and workshops now with technologies that have only been available for 150 years I think. The lines/spirals on the sides of the cores would vary depending on the type of granite, how fast the drill spins ,importantly the pressure being applied and the amount of water at the point of cutting, these are all variables you learn over years of experience. Sometimes these variables are altered mid cut/drill as the density of the stone can be different as you go through it. The harder the granite usually we would drill at slower rpm and it would cut more efficiently . Same applies to sawing as the saw blades are tipped with the same material as the core drills . Even the amount of water being pumped into the cut makes a difference to the penetration depth each pass of the blade. The 'sanded' finish Mr Dunn speaks about is a pre-polished state masons work stone down to with hand tools before we send it to the polishers, its called a 'honed finish' ,this is the final stage before polishing , when the stone is of a drilled or a sawn finish its already at the same 'sanded/honed' finish as it comes off the machine used. The blade/drill does the work there. I've seen Mr Dunn's pictures of how precise the polished stone was with the engineer's square. I'm amazed how precisely flat it appears. I've witnessed massive automated polishing machines for many years, and I know what he's talking about, as those machines struggle to hit that precision every time. The one piece boxes (even the lips on lids that are air tight are a marvel) and preciseness shown in the ancient Egyptian masonry doesn't make sense .I've personally fabricated granite sarcophagi, for efficiency ,time and cost reasons its far better to make it from multiple pieces . If cut correctly from the same slab its easy to match the grains up, construct a box, base, lid and disguise it as one piece .Very little attention is directed to the inside of the box as its only ever going to be seen once . When I first looked at pictures of those boxes I had to take a second look when I was told it was all one piece and the inside had been carved out. Thats exactly the type of work I do and what was achieved is a marvel to consider the work that went into that. As for those vases, without blowing my own trumpet I'm good at my craft and know that any mason, polisher, granite worker or anyone in between worth his salt will honestly struggle to give a definitive answer how those were produced . The variables of granite, how brittle it is when you get down to those thicknesses , the pressures that need to be applied during working it down and during the polishing process without breakage doesn't makes sense . Then to have such precise symmetry is amazing. The vase that allows light shown through it by a torch (not sure if that was shown here but its easy to find) defies any argument that I can think of that primitive techniques were used at any point. Granite would be the last material I would I'd suggest making those vases from, it would just be an absolute pain in the arse and no matter how good you are , granite being granite, the amount of times fabricating them and at some point it just shatters must have been a nightmare. Marble would be easier but still a pain nonetheless . I have lot of friends still in the trade and we all tend to agree its a pretty sad look when we see people doing their hardest to knock the opinions of Mr Dunn or dr Robert Schock, Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson, Ben Van Kerwyk, John Anthony West, Robert Bauval. Usually 'acclaimed' academics worryingly desperate to throw shade on common sense for some reason. These guys are right to ask these questions of how these things came to be (minus the ridicule from the so called 'experts') and they seem to be on the right track according to everyone I know that works with stone . As a Qualified Stonemason I always wonder how these gifts from the past were made and through experience, years of cuts and blistered hands, learning tricks of the trade, the mainstream explanations don't hold up in real world scenarios. Great podcast, love this type of subject and great guest, Mr Dunn seems like a proper gent. I'd love to go visit the pyramids in person and the many other places of interest that still hold mystery after all this time, what an awesome job that would be, it would never be boring I bet

The common concensus is that precise measuring tools, such as what you're using in this podcast, weren't invented until the 20th century. Cadillac was the first to produce "standardized parts". I forget the year, but they took apart 3 Cadillacs and scattered the parts about and managed to reassemble 3 working cars from the scattered parts. This was done to prove the precision of Cadillac cars. Before this, if you needed a replacement part, it had to be manufactured to fit your particular need. There were no parts stores at that time.
I find it fascinating that something this old could be so precise.
Christopher Dunn is my uncle. I have not seen him for 15 years as Texas is far away, he used to send me postcards in near perfect calligraphy print handwriting. Very honorable man.
Chris is also my uncle. He sends me birthday presents wrapped with the utmost precision. Each piece of tape measures exactly 1.125" in length.
Chris is also my father’s 2nd cousin he used to send me paper airplanes from different parts of the world perfectly engineered to have a flight duration of exactly 3.14 mins with a 3.14 degree drop off every time!
Chris is also my uncle. He took me on an archaeological dig to Teotihucan when I was a junior in high school and he speaks fluent Spanish as well. It was pretty cool we met up with some of his old military buddies in Mexico City and that’s where I drank my first tequila, Uncle Chris sure knew how to have a good time I’m glad he’s doing well

I am a quality control inspector with 14 years experience in the manufacturing field. And when he says that this material is measuring at a thou. Or a thou and a half .001/.0015 that blows my mind the accuracy of these ancient artifacts. Amazing.
you would really enjoy UnchartedX. He is Ben and was on jre with Jimmy from Bright Insight. Ben has excellent videos covering the advanced machining evidence in ancient artifacts. in a recent video Ben was there with Chris, and they have the real vase on the turn table and just watch the indicator gauges holding shockingly steady.

Just imagine in 100 years time, there was this guy on the JR podcast, laid it all out. Even if its wrong, what a likeable man. Fascinating subject.
One problem with finding machines, or tools, made out of metal from thousands of years ago is that it's not missing, or buried, or undiscovered, it was found by people...melted down, and recycled into something else. Metal is pretty hard to get and make out of the ground, and this process of recycling is still done today. Walk past a building being torn down and there's a pile of iron or steel reinforcement rods aside from a pile of concrete because it's valuable and easily recycled off to become..whatever. Think of all the armies that have ever existed ever using metal weapons, archeologists find one today from Rome it's because it's underwater, or hidden in a cave, but other than that you'd think they'd be everywhere, no, they were recycled over and over and over. Even the casing stones in the great pyramid were recycled to build Cairo.
Well said
I wish your comment was pinned Octaviousrex1080. It's ashamed that ancient tools get recycled over time. For example, the thieves who stole the original FIFA World Cup trophy likely got melted.
And the other point is depending on the antiquity and remembering what Randall Carlsson imparted about how long metal lasts in the open environment maybe some just blows away on the wind
As a blacksmith for 15 years I agree.I smelted steel from iron sands and ore and I've forged metorie.I don't think it's a stretch to think iron and steel could have been produced then.Egyptians had the bellows to reach iron smelting temps.Also you don't just start forging that iron dagger in tuts tomb,it took someone or culture with a history of forging iron.Foring metorite,depending on the impurities,can be extremely difficult and requires skill.
I don’t think it is that hard to get metal is abundant imagine before it was mined for everything that we use now how much metal must of been in the ground just waiting for a quake to shake loose.
I am amazed at how how in contrast to Dibble, its so easy for Dunn to say “well, that’s interesting. I’ll look into this…” it’s such a different vibe. So much more open. It’s logic and critical thinking used in a more appropriate way to serve knowledge, and so authentically curious.
It's the easiest deflection. "I'll look into this" then the point is done and he never does.
People like Dibble meanwhile get rather annoyed when you misrepresent their field of expertise to their face.
@@Alexander_Kale you guys are insufferable.
@@Alexander_Kale "Field of Expertise" He's not a physical scientist. He's a glorified social studies Indiana Jones LARPer, so is Graham. Dunn isn't, he's a real engineer. Get another Engineer to counter, not Diddle.
@@TheVaged As far as I can tell, Dibble has a Ph. D. in Classical archaeology. He has multiple publications to his name and he is doing actual archeology.
So yes. Field of expertise. I dont give a damn whether you like his hat, the man knows what he is talking about. So how about you drop the petty insults?
Meanwhile, for an engineer, Dunn has dodged an awful lot of questions in this interview and brought very little actual data.
Whenever Joe tried to nail him into giving him precise measurements, or asked for points of contention between DUnn and archaeologists, Dunn dodged.
E:g., when the 3d printed vase was brought up? Not only would measuring the print be pointless, because most printers are not very precise, at no point whatsoever did Dunn say that these tolerances were in any way out of the ordinary for vases, or if so, by how far.
A very easy way of showing this supposed superiority for example would have been to list a couple of contemporary vases with vastly larger tolerances. For some reason he did not do that.
When Dunn was asked what the contemporary opinion is on how these precise tolerances were achieved, he dodged.
He mentioned how others were mean to him, pointing to less precise vases as a counteragrgument, but he himself in no way shape or form said how widespread his high precision vases were. How am I to know Dunn isn't the one cherry picking here, taking the one vase from the batch that had higher precision by accident?
Then there was the thing with the visual fotography of th face he showed. He effectively admitted that he had no idea how precise thos proportions actually were, but claimed them to be special anyway.
Dibble is an actual subject matter expert, so he's not likely to find any given spurious argument "interesting". He's just going to feel annoyed that something illogical is being passed off as plausible.
Finally, I’ve been waiting to see Chris Dunn here for yeeeeaars!! It’s so nice to hear someone who actually knows what he’s talking about, and Chris is one! This should have been at least the podcast #4 with him, not #1! He’s work is absolutely brilliant and founded with knowledge and changes everything: in my estimate he’s the most underrated author about the Pyramids and he’s THE Most important and the most humble one, one in contrast: absolute genius! His work will be appreciated in 50+ years when he’ll be long gone, unfortunately… Chris, please go do some steam cell treatments so you can live another 50 years to see that, thank you!!!
He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. He's a complete fantasist... even calling himself an engineer is hilarious. So much he says is absolutely verifiable rubbish 😂

Joe does not seem a malicious chap... ❤
Conversations like this is why I listen to JRE
I’ve been waiting for this podcast for years, thanks so much for having Mr Dunn on Joe. I’ve been obsessed with his work and loved reading his books. I really hope it gains more traction and they complete his work one day. Makes the most sense to me
Totally agree. It's mind blowing to me how the symmetry and accuracy of these artifacts isn't front page news.
Joe, this was brilliant. You provide an environment where free thinking rebels can explain their theories - this is just so important for nourishing new ideas, theories and science. If people like Christopher did not have your show, he would be cut down and cancelled by the self appointed experts. You are doing society an incredible good by allowing people like Christopher to address the broader community. Thankyou, and keep up the good work.
my two favourite books were written by this man. excited for the new one
I just saw Chris a few days ago, him and his wife came in to grab lunch where I work. Outstanding gentleman. Always a pleasure to have a quick chat with them.
Joe is the perfect translator from a genius to regular guy.
That's why he's successful
You think this guy's a genius? He's said nothing.
Literally nothing he says have any basis in reality
@ghostfifth I didn't say that, the comment was about Joe. Have a nice day
@@lmccampbella guy says he’s speculating and only offering theory and the thought police shows up. Never fails. 😂
Fascinating and a totally engrossing conversation and exploration with Mr Dunn and Joe who when he interviews and is interested really shines with his genuine focus.
This episode is a masterclass on "how to extract information from an introverted podcast guest".
Yeah people cry about Rogan not pushing back on peoples claims.. it’s about making the guest feel comfortable and express what they really believe.
Joe jumped on him from the beginning took him to the ground like an MMA fighter and never let him up. Like my dad would say he pumped him for all his dope.
was pretty much thinking about the work Joe put in on this one.

Joe Rogan, your conversations are absolutely THE best. Thank you for enriching my life.
I read Mr Dunn's book over 15 years ago and it was very convincing as well as being a well-structured read through which I got in little time. These structures all over the globe are just incredible...
I was a toolmaker, cnc machinist and programmer for 20 years and it's nice to hear from a fellow professional.

Loving the return of these kinds of talks.
Well done Joe! This is the BEST interview I’ve heard with Chris Dunn. Great work guys!
Best episode in a while. Old manufacturing dudes have so much knowledge to share . Chris seems awesome
This is one of the most educational podcasts I’ve seen in a long time. Even Joe was taking mental notes.
Christopher Dunn is the uncle for everyone. Full of real experience, knowledge, thought and expertise. A man who understands materials & machines and asks the questions pure academics refuse to confront as the answers are incompatible with their careers, ideas and credibility.
nicely summmed up
My Uncle is cool
My Uncle is great
Except for that time
He was accused of ra.....
"people would say, what's the big deal about a vase? The big deal is these goddamn handles" 😂 🤣
As a machinist/Manufacturing engineer, this is the first guest Joe has had that I feel I could have an intelligent conversation with. 😂
I've been using manual lathes for years at home, but I got a job 2 years ago running Swiss lathes. After learning that job, I began to understand just how difficult it would be to make those vases everyone says are "handmade". We could easily make one using a 5 axis mill with a separate op to finish the base.
I don't even know how you'd make one on a regular lathe without some complicated workholding and multiple ops where the piece has to be removed from the chuck and flipped around. You'd need a separate driven tool to mill in between the lug handles and some way to control your rotational axis.
And this would all be out of metal. I have no clue how you'd do it out of granite.
As a surveyor, I agree. I would be unable to tolerate a “Dibble”-type
I’ve been a machinist for 89 years and I can say
I was IMMEDIATELY begging for Joe to bring Mr. Dunn on post-Dibble. Because once he insisted on the copper tooling and water/sand...I was a bit shocked that a man insisted "We KNOW
they used copper and sand with water"....lol...wuuuuut...go try to drill a slab of like...Fuggin...ANYTHING harder than the COPPER with those things and then let me know how that goes pal...
As someone who sold drill bits the guest is 💯.
So glad he pointed out the finish in the cores needing a closer look.
I lean towards one bit for that finish. Either way. 🌎

I think the one of the key things that is missing from this history is the possibility that the Egyptians didn't build the pyramids. I think it reasonable to assume that they found them and built their civilisation around them. They didn't know how they worked. The Egyptian's kept meticulous records yet no written records or story survives regarding how they built possibly the most impressive structures to ever grace the earth. They probably stopped being functional and the knowledge surrounding them was probably lost during the cataclysm that took place during younger dryas (along with 90% of human kind). Egyptian royalty have a proven history of reworking prior works and claiming it as their own. I think these points fill a small void in works done by Dunn, Hancock etc. The reason no other pyramids compare to the main 3 at Giza is because the Egyptians' attempted to copy the main three they had inherited.
EXACTLY!!! I think the Egyptians found the site and mimicked the people as a way to assume authority over the masses! Most/All megalithic sites are NOT claimed by the "indigenous" people... they usually explain how their people stumbled upon the amazing sites!... Which is easy to see in places like Pumapunku and Sacsayhuamán!
@@onestoptechnologies7305 I've also been to Sacsayhuamán. For such a "modern" civilization it makes zero sense as to why the methodologies as to how that stonework was produced hasn't survived even through stories/myths. They simply didn't have the knowledge to pass down through time!
@@YouSaveTheDay Yes, They would not have just "forgot" to pass on the most amazing/advanced methodologies. I can see not passing on a recipe that one person knows, but not something used by the massive number of people it took to build those!
Something massively catastrophic had to happen to wipe out this level of advancement. Like meteoric impact/Younger Dryas/Great Flood. The "tabs" on the stones, the "pillow" shape, interlocking blocks and metal key-clamps that match across continents imply an interconnected civilization on Pangea. I can't help but think ante-diluvian civilization.
What if the information was destroyed?
@@Maximus0051 Who knows? (tbh that goes down a conspiracy rabbit hole). At the end of the day, if these structures were as modern as they make out, tales of how they were constructed would have passed down through word of mouth/stories etc. You don't just collectively forget how to do something that special.
I just LOVE how Mr Joe regularly uses 'manners' , thank you Jamie, could you show that please.
so many people forget how important basic respect can be.
Agreed .. mutual respect an manners go so far good ol common people
Agreed! 100% familiarity shouldn’t excuse bad manners.
Mr Joe lmao
Having spent time building and rebuilding American V-Twins, I understand the importance of tolerances on machined parts and how tight they must be… I’ll say this, NO car, motorcycle, or vehicle on any type built by anyone has tolerances as tight as what those vases possess. PERIOD.
It's not as if tighter tolerances aren't possible
Metals can be perfectly friction fit today
Those engines don't have extreme tolerances bc they would seize if the tolerances were too tight
@mayorpufnstuf4470 what does that have to do with the tolerances found in ancient Egyptian stonework?
@@lhh6627 You'll have to ask the OP what engine tolerances have to do with stone vases. But my presumption from the context is that he's essentially claiming that such tolerances are not possible, or at least very difficult to produce today. Of course, that is not the case, and much tighter tolerances are possible today.in any case, it's a misleading comparison, which is my point.
The idea that humans can not hand work materials to precision is nonsense. Dunn makes similar misleading comparisons while ignoring examples of precision hand work in other areas. The best fit firearms are all hand fit. The best cut gemstones with highly complex and accurate geometries are hand cut...
Human skill alone can produce high accuracy and tight tolerances.
I did a quick google search and it appears you are wrong , sir.
If you are talking about the 3d print, keep in mind, that thing has the tolerances of the 3d printer, not the one of the actual vase. by printing it, you introduced an error into the equation, or alternatively removed one from it.
On the other hand, ask yourself this: why in blue blazes would they do something on pottery that we ourselves do not do on precision machinery? Why would they bother? Why wouldl anyone design a machine that makes pottery this precise?
Flint "My Dad" Dibble left the group.
As a Machinist I had a thought. When he was explaining a divot carved out of the wall of one of the shafts and they weren't sure the purpose. I thought of a possible purpose. So when you have a metal hole and you try and put a perfect sized metal dowel in that hole it will be pushed out from the pressure. However If you machine a small pressure relief hole on the O.D. (outside diameter) of the shaft it makes it possible to put a perfectly fitting dowel in that hole. Maybe it's some sort of pressure relief for a some sort of piston like structure.
Just got over my hangover from playing the “drink when flint dibbles mentions his father” drinking game.
thanks for the laugh bro
Can't blame the hobbit for trying
Drink every time Dunn says "Uh..."
You should try drink every time a Hancock fan makes a joke about dibbles clothes instead of addressing massive problems with Hancock’s “theory”. 😢

A machinist makes it to the Rogan show. Finally a guest I can relate to.
You're a machinist!? Great! My wife is looking to make her dildys a million times stronger. We want a join toy I can stick up my rectum. Is that something you can help us with? We tried taping 100 electric toothbrushes together and it didn't work.
Trouble is, the core sample he is referring to around the eight minute mark is not at all as he describes it, he is implying the signature of the cutting tool tracks around the core he is discussing uniformly, with uniform rate of penetration, spiralling down. [I have worked in engineering also, am a skilled, professional craftsman who has worked a broad range of materials - so him not seeing the obvious flaw in what he is saying here is not a good sign at all]. If you look at photographs of the core he is describing (that have not been overlaid with simplified graphics asserting this presumption) you can see very clearly that the grooves around it are not uniform and do not progress at a fixed rate like a machine drill, the grooves wander around, they do not spiral down, they wander in the space of one cycle. Anyone who understands how a machine drill functions knows that means this is not the signature of a machine drill.
All these things evidence hand worked abrasive core drills and, though I wish it were not the case, I can see he is choosing his words very carefully here and I think it's because he knows that he is portraying an image which completely contradicts the evidence and indeed paints a false picture of the artefact he is describing - because he needs to maintain that to maintain his position.
This is the trouble with Lost Ancient High Tech advocates, and I'm the last person to bow before academia, but, there is a LOT of VERY conscious, cautious cherry picking in this LAHT culture... it has very cult like qualities and I think this fella is demonstrating that right here.
@@JesseP.Watson he was allowed to take molds of the core, and he also had a skeptic with him who wrapped the core with a thread.
It's a continuous spiral groove
@@superstitiouspre-literatep9730 It really isn't a continuous spiral groove, they did not follow the groove at all, they corrected the deviations with the thread, I've seen photos of that, they are very clearly attempting to mask those characteristics that do not support their narrative. SGDSacredgeometrydecoded has a video debunking it, not a difficult debunk, just need to look closely at the photos these guys promote as evidence because most of the time what they show as evidence of LAHT actually disproves what they say if you look closely. SGD has actually done the experiments they won't do with copper core drills, using abrasive paste, working granite, he's got precisely the results seen in the artefacts, plain as day. These guys are selling their tours, a brand, the Atlantis brand, not genuine enquiry - Bright Insights actually threatened to sue SGD for his debunking him, that's what goes on behind the scenes in this club, I'm very much into challenging orthodoxy but these guys are charlatans, plain and simple.
@@superstitiouspre-literatep9730 No it isn't, plain and simple. Don't listen to what they say, don't look at their graphic overlays, look at the ARTEFACT, the inconsistencies are plain to see. I have seen a picture of that thread you mention wound around that core and they used it to correct the deviations of the grooving, very clearly. Look closely, it's plain as day.

Thank you Joe for being open minded and facilitating these discussions.
This is like the 3th podcast I've watched with this Dunn, plus I've watched his presentations on how he believes the pyramid worked as a power plant. This guy is fascinating. Because of guys like Chris, Ben, and Graham, we could crack this code within the Millennials lifetime

And he's doing a better job at following this guy than I am, I'm totally lost lol
I live in Scotland, Aberdeen , the Granite city , I'm a monumental stone mason ,a journeyman. When the people I've had the pleasure of working with over the years and I see those core drills and the way they have been produced it blows our minds that those exist from that time period. These are produced everyday in the factories and workshops now with technologies that have only been available for 150 years I think. The lines/spirals on the sides of the cores would vary depending on the type of granite, how fast the drill spins ,importantly the pressure being applied and the amount of water at the point of cutting, these are all variables you learn over years of experience. Sometimes these variables are altered mid cut/drill as the density of the stone can be different as you go through it. The harder the granite usually we would drill at slower rpm and it would cut more efficiently . Same applies to sawing as the saw blades are tipped with the same material as the core drills . Even the amount of water being pumped into the cut makes a difference to the penetration depth each pass of the blade. The 'sanded' finish Mr Dunn speaks about is a pre-polished state masons work stone down to with hand tools before we send it to the polishers, its called a 'honed finish' ,this is the final stage before polishing , when the stone is of a drilled or a sawn finish its already at the same 'sanded/honed' finish as it comes off the machine used. The blade/drill does the work there.
I've seen Mr Dunn's pictures of how precise the polished stone was with the engineer's square. I'm amazed how precisely flat it appears. I've witnessed massive automated polishing machines for many years, and I know what he's talking about, as those machines struggle to hit that precision every time. The one piece boxes (even the lips on lids that are air tight are a marvel) and preciseness shown in the ancient Egyptian masonry doesn't make sense .I've personally fabricated granite sarcophagi, for efficiency ,time and cost reasons its far better to make it from multiple pieces . If cut correctly from the same slab its easy to match the grains up, construct a box, base, lid and disguise it as one piece .Very little attention is directed to the inside of the box as its only ever going to be seen once . When I first looked at pictures of those boxes I had to take a second look when I was told it was all one piece and the inside had been carved out. Thats exactly the type of work I do and what was achieved is a marvel to consider the work that went into that.
As for those vases, without blowing my own trumpet I'm good at my craft and know that any mason, polisher, granite worker or anyone in between worth his salt will honestly struggle to give a definitive answer how those were produced . The variables of granite, how brittle it is when you get down to those thicknesses , the pressures that need to be applied during working it down and during the polishing process without breakage doesn't makes sense . Then to have such precise symmetry is amazing. The vase that allows light shown through it by a torch (not sure if that was shown here but its easy to find) defies any argument that I can think of that primitive techniques were used at any point. Granite would be the last material I would I'd suggest making those vases from, it would just be an absolute pain in the arse and no matter how good you are , granite being granite, the amount of times fabricating them and at some point it just shatters must have been a nightmare. Marble would be easier but still a pain nonetheless .
I have lot of friends still in the trade and we all tend to agree its a pretty sad look when we see people doing their hardest to knock the opinions of Mr Dunn or dr Robert Schock, Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson, Ben Van Kerwyk, John Anthony West, Robert Bauval. Usually 'acclaimed' academics worryingly desperate to throw shade on common sense for some reason.
These guys are right to ask these questions of how these things came to be (minus the ridicule from the so called 'experts') and they seem to be on the right track according to everyone I know that works with stone . As a Qualified Stonemason I always wonder how these gifts from the past were made and through experience, years of cuts and blistered hands, learning tricks of the trade, the mainstream explanations don't hold up in real world scenarios.
Great podcast, love this type of subject and great guest, Mr Dunn seems like a proper gent.
I'd love to go visit the pyramids in person and the many other places of interest that still hold mystery after all this time, what an awesome job that would be, it would never be boring I bet
