There is a far more pervasive proof than even all the physical evidence, the kind of evidence that are modern world accepts in criminal court as proof of guilt and it is found in the archeology refuses evidence outside of pre-set acceptable dates & techniques generated by orthodox archeologists-
If a mainstream archeologist finds real verifiable evidence generated by scientific methods the elites of archeology will immediately seek to destroy that person's credibility on every level they can but never address the evidence.
There is no other scientific discipline that is allowed to so flagrantly disregard evidence, in fact all the real science are consistently moving toward complete convergence but archaeology stands alone and unassailable in it's right to proclaim whatever nonsense it wants to in contradiction to & in spite of case after case of hard evidence against those proclamations by hard scientic experts from multiple fields of study............ It's like Shakespeare had Hamlet say, "methinks the lady doth protest too much"
Hello, I have recently come across your channel and its amazing what you show here, I also am very disappointed that there is no scientific group going toegipt now to conduct funded experiments. That is why I think you should start a go fund me or a pattern so yourself and other scientists go to Egypt and study drill cores, stones, the electromagnetic of the different stones used and the geometry and benefits of the pyramids. I would be delighted to pay for that. Good luck
Hi, Have you taken a look at this theory : mariobuildreps.com ? It completely changes dates to something more compatible with what we see on the ground.
A typical CNC bit would not last very long when working with granite. It would probably have to be impregnated with diamonds.
95604? I had no idea. We are neighbors!
I'm a machinist by trade, and what these people did thousands of years ago makes me feel like a dummy lol. The type of engineering and programming that goes into making something like this is mind blowing. The mathematics involved is astonishing. Cooper chisels and bronze tools my ass.
How many thousand years would your machine tools last without being maintained?
Exactly
@@itsmybike1078 noooooooo that is not the answer
wrong. Make me a 12 ton granite block.
you can't.
@@itsmybike1078 What a ridiculous comment. Do you really have no idea?
i feel like i was robbed of my schooling as a child, all the dumb boring crap they forced onto me that i didnt need or care about, when there is SO much amazing information that i would have liked, been interested in and that would have actually helped me as an adult. i just found this channel, i really like it, thank you for all the hard work and effort that you put into it, it really shows, very awesome video.
I agree. Making me memorize the names of kings, when mysteries are the most educational. Having us memorize kings subconsciously gets us to agree to being ruled.
Sean you said what many of us feel about the nonsense we were taught in school about previous hidtory.
I have collard a few history teaches who still parrot the same nonsense force feeding it to the kids.
When I ask them why they say they have no choice but comply with the State curriculum.
When asked why don't they do something about the curriculum they say its too difficult, too expensive, so they continue to teach a False history. So much for the integrity of the teaching profession.
Welcome to the club
Same last name?
Yes you are so mistreated 😭
Ever since finding your work I been rejuvenated with intrigue for Egypt. I've been down every rabbit hole, and Egypt never sparked my interest. Almost like subconsciously, what the mainstream documentaries portrayed wasn't to be paid attention to. Now, I'm fascinated. Now, I see there is something here. Well done, your work ( and that of your peers) is spectacular .
I am a newbie here and stumbled across your page purely by chance! These are by far some of the best videos I have seen regarding these concepts and VERY VERY interesting and well put together.. Knowledge is power! AWESOME videos! keep up the good work Ben 👌🤜🤛
Man these videos are so professional. You deserve a million subs
Imagine someone walking up to the Mona Lisa in a museum and signing their name on it, and thousands of years later archaeologists say the Mona Lisa was painted by the person who wrote their name. This is that situation.
to make it even more clear and fitting, let´s imagine the signing was done by a child/toddler in some crayons or watercolour. And they still pretend like "yep that must be the person who painted the Mona Lisa" even though we can clearly see a major difference in skill and technique... Sadly that´s the situation we are in..
@@Kenny-yl9pc exactly, but tis worse, as its like a child wentin with a knife and scratched throughhte paint to write thier name, and future historians, "he must have been rushed for time"
@@any1alive lol xD yea they always find some explanation as to why their view must be the only reasonable one. What astonishes me is their hubris and disrespectful behaviour towards other researchers that have good arguments why it could be different. They dont want to even talk about the matter. They just laugh it off and ignore it. Like the other researcher is stupid and doesnt deserve to be taken serious. I dont know but it makes me angry and sad. That is not what science is about or should be in my view.
Great analogy
You can’t say that when we don’t know if they had lost tech that created it. They still could have created this with tech we don’t know about or that was lost. So not accurate sorry
Time is a crucial factor here. If there were such a skilled sculptor who could make one of these objects using a pounding stone and a bronze chisel, it would take his entire lifetime. He would have been a savant. To imagine that there were that thousands of savants reaching inconceivable heights of achievement at the same is ludicrous.
A person couldn’t make one of those statues with primitive tools in 100 life times. It is not possible with the geometry’s and materials eledged
And so you have an entire culture of stone masons, carvers and sculptures right... thousands of people making statues, pyramids, obelisks, vases, bowls, boxes, tunels, ect... and then just like that, the knowledge is gone and not a single hyroglif can be found depicting any of those increbile processes.
I don't see how we can claim to know 90% of ancient egyptian history from hyroglifs and then claim to know anything about objects not depicted in those hyroglifs. We acknowledge some plagiarism was done but then don't revise the date of the work plagiarized, the whole thing is disengenuous fundamentally.
reading that last sentence made me laugh
You're illiterate.
@@SuperDouginator You're illiterate too.
What a surprise! (Not.)
I'm deep down the rabbit hole with this now.
Thank you for posting these awesome documentarys
haha same ere.... its really really interesting an these docos make it easy to get the vibe of what is infront . mind blown
What a surprise that you can't spell basic English and think this is a documentary as opposed to the load of complete bollocks it really is.
Doh! me to!! Can't unsee it 🙂
It's funny because it was originally simple scientific pursuit. It only looks like a rabbit hole because of how much bias and sectarian Egyptologists ignored the evidence to fit the "flavor of the generation, model of history" The whole point of the scientific method is to keep humble and test against our own biases and pride.
We don't know the details of the first of the earlier and more advanced, "Tale of 2 industries," but we see solid evidence they did not simply "rough it in," when doing their megalythic stone work.
I started watching this as a bit of entertainment by a loon, I was wrong, you have totally convinced me that we have lost an ancient civilization that had skills we cannot imagine. As soon as this Convid19 issue is over I am going to the museum, I have to see this for myself. Well done
That is exactly what i am asking myself! How far does civilization actually go back for those things to completely disappear
Not lost Ancient civilization, we do know quite a good deal of Egyptians of the ancient past. We know that almost 4000 years ago they were quite advanced in geometry, they got pi almost correct etc. They weren't dumb, but videos like these depict them as such.
From the oldest surviving proof of geometry from the region, Serapeum is at least 500 years younger. Now think 500 years back from now. A lot can advanced in that period of time. If that is unfair, go yet again back 500 years, and world is vastly different.
Guys in the ancient world made those things for thousands of years, they accumulated unbelievable amounts of knowledge, which was mostly teached by hand. Manual laborers weren't writers or readers. But they had generations of knowledge.
Society changed, fashionable things changed, skills became useless and got lost. It happens today, too. Languages are lost, even very new skills like car body repair methods of old are being forgotten.
We are a species of enormous capabilities, and very little recognizion for that. We have made the pyramids, conquered our planet and even a bit of space. Atomic energy, brain surgery, ancestry of birds, climate models. We don't accumulate knowledge like we used to anymore, but know it's open to everyone. And we haven't needed outsiders for that. If we would have, proof would really be there, instead of some pseudo-scientist saying that since I can't do it today, it must be done by something grander. Skill became obsolete, and died. It's sad, simple, and constant. There are gazillion little things that nobody/almost nobody can do anymore, that farmers did daily a hundred years ago.
Ksoism I’m not agreeing with you. In order to make those vases., u need a Cnc guided tool. Where are the computers if these are 6000 years old?
@@Zukalski there just is technology or process we are not familiar. It's a boring explanation but most possible.
And since this whole thing isn't widely known, academically pondered thing, either the solution is really simple and known or video depicts all of this... Creatively.
But if there would be anything even remotely hinting at truly mysterious things, it would be known. Every student of technology and archeology, sociology and what-not-logies would be pissing honey for their final works, every scholar would make a living out of it. It would literally be biggest news ever, and since proof of it is public, you just couldn't hide it.
People studying these things are schooled professionals, who understand these things just so much better. I'm not gonna tell racing driver or fighter pilot how to do their job. I do not understand an iota of global climate models, so I'm listening to those who do. I do have opinions, and I have desire to learn, but TH-cam, Wikipedia and random scientific articles are never going to make me competent to say that professionals are getting it all wrong. I work in somewhat rare and limited trade, and there isn't a whole many people in the world who can tell me how to do my job. Not many people tell their barber or mechanic, or guy designing their cell phones cpu how to do it. We are perfectly fine with the fact that people who work with their hands are experts in their field. But it is at least as much true in the field where most of your tool box is your knowledge and thinking. Archeologists, politicians, doctors, even cosmologists and astro-physicists get it wrong when it comes to dark matter, black holes or... Anything somebody has on opinion of. Uneducated guess, it is. And yes, so is mine, and great thing in this that it made us have a conversation - from which neither of us probably will learn anything of! 😂
@Wild One okay, who did? Aliens? They came here, built a few vases, rooms, temples and went home? It's quite an humble act from a space race that masters interstellar travel. Not even metallurgy took big steps during that time, they just made a few things that are pretty useless as a show of strength.
And people of day didn't really make a lot of it, either. A couple of paintings that supposedly depict astronauts (they don't) but even then they rather painted and carved humans and animals?
We, the humans, made them. I don't know how, but then again I can't build a space shuttle nor submarine or skyscraper. Be proud, as you are the most advanced lifeform we know of. Yes, I believe there is life elsewhere. Less or more intelligent, in this galaxy or in galaxies far away? Dunno.
Watching this video and seeing the beauty in these sculptures, thinking of the ratios they contain, how they were made and who possibly made them, put a tear in my eye. It’s absolutely amazing! This knowledge should be known by EVERYONE and taught in schools, not labeled as “pseudo-archeology” and “conspiracies”. GREAT VIDEO UnchartedX!!
I had the same emotion about this. It’s utterly stunning , scary , and beautiful . The gentleman at the end of the video referred to the civilization responsible for these great works of art being wiped out by the great cataclysm . I’m afraid to ask what they had done that God saw fit to destroy them off the earth. There are only magnificent artifacts pointing to their existence , but nothing else.
What?
Don't you think enough bollocks are taught in school to add this crap to the lot?
I really appreciate the effort you put into your show Ben. Very polished and easy to watch!
I visited Baalbeck 15 years ago and was so impressed by the precission of the pillars at the temple of jupiter. These are rosequartz pillars, brought from Egypt. It looks like that these pillars were once in one piece, but had been cut to transport them.
Once again a video of such high quality - or should I say precision - that I need to instantly rewatch it! Thanks Ben!
I tend to disagree. The video is very superficial. He discusses precision, yet his camera flies around an object and rarely lingers to actually examine the work. He goes down into the Serapeum and the lighting is so poor. A spot of light and dark shadows. Get some light man!! Focus and linger. Show us this precision.
@@geirbalderson9697 What do you mean "show us this precision"? Its right in the video. Pause it if it seems too fast. I think the video footage is smooth and shows it quite clearly.
"once you see it you can't un-see it" so true; mirror smooth surfaces, perfect right angles, then almost like chicken scratch heiroglyphs on top
Well said. I don’t know anyone who is obsessed with these things. Which is strange to me. How can everyone not be intensely interested in these structures?
@@andrewcanady6644 because it's not easily explained away..
39:20 The method allowing creation symmetrical statues like Ramses II is presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru” (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v10). TH-cam does not allow a direct link. Search by the article title.
It's easy. Just make a plywood template of the curves. Then stage them every inch. Pound a little, try the template, repeat. If you over excavate just glue it back on.
The interesting thing is that this polygonal masonry (cyclopean) is found around the world. There are ancient methods we know of that can get the joints of stone down to 1/1000 of an inch....the thickness of a human hair.
I’m no engineer, I’m not a scientist, but I have eyes that Can Not deny the high sophistication of all the amazing artifacts that you have shown through this video. I can only imagine how amazing these objects appear in person . It angers me to know that any scientist would dismiss or ignore the overwhelming importance of these objects.
Imagine if you will that someone comes across the authors opinion that an ancient civilisation built the pyramids and artefacts, and your interest in it, and is fascinated.
She happens to be working for your local education authority and approaches you to teach an advanced course on Egyptology.
She offers a good salary for you to teach a course spread over 8 sessions, and has taken the liberty of providing a proposed timetable. She has split the eight sessions in to block one (4 weeks) criticizing the classical model, and Block2 examining the details of the proposed ancient civilisation;
Block one;
Week 1 - Looking at the ancient artefacts and buildings.
Weeks 2 - Looking at the classical explanation for the way the buildings and artefacts were made.
Weeks 3 and 4 - Looking at the evidence suggesting that the classical explanation is flawed.
Block two;
Weeks 5 - An explanation of how the buildings and objects must really have been made.
Weeks 6 - Describing the society that must have existed in order to have made these objects and buildings.
Week 7 - Describing the evidence of artefacts, buildings and transport that support the claims made in 5 and 6
Week 8 - Describing the cataclysm that destroyed the ancient civilization and removed the evidence of their buildings, machinery, artefacts and detritus.
Will you give some indication of what you would teach in weeks 6 to 8?
I'm an engineer, and I agree completely.
It is not ignoring or dismissing - it is hiding.
Nobody is dismissing the importance of artifacts.
I dismiss the claims of Christopher Dunn.
Just pause the video when they are talking about incredible accuracy of the sarcophagus.
You can clearly see irregular reflections off the so called perfection.
They purposely show grainy pictures from a distance, and talk about levels of accuracy that exceed precision granite inspection tables.
Christopher Dunn is dishonest.
I've developed an eye for ground and polished surfaces, as I have experience with grinding carbide and ceramic tooling, glass and plastic Optical lab work, and I'm a maintenance mechanic at a Granite shop, with almost 38 years of experience with machinery, grinding and polishing various materials.
Granite countertops have less deviation of reflection, than these boxes, and countertop slabs aren't within 0.00005"
This video is a joke.
This information is just amazing nobody talks about it like you do this is very puzzling how they produced these boxes Simply Amazing
Ben, your point about precision is an excellent one, I have been a professional land surveyor for 40 years. Land surveyors are experts in measurement. The first thing you are taught is that you cannot get higher precision than the instruments you are using to measure. As an analogy to your ancient technology manufacturing, a surveyor cannot measure to 1-second angular precision using a 3-second EDM (electronic distance measuring instrument. In other words, your point (Dunn’s point) is valid, i.e. you can’t manufacture very precise objects with less precise tools, you need more precise tools.
You're absolutely right about that.
Then please explain the following: You need a precise tool to make a less precise tool.
Who made then the first tool?
@@alfredclausen2593 you make a precise tool by making/using a precise datum, eg. A flat plane, edge .. you build that datum by checking against another datum eg edge or plane and checking and adjusting often until the precision level is achieved. Eg. A flat plate is made by removing high spots, then rubbing on another plane rinse and repeat. Metal scraping was a craftsman art in the 18-19th century when machine tooling was being developed.
@@notlessgrossman163 well that told him 😁😅
agreed from an high tech engineer myself, and work in MSA for production / measuring equips :)
When I visited Egypt, I was shocked at the printing on the obelisks. A machine definitely did it, but no one talks about it.
This is the most perfect documentary I've seen in ages: extremely well argumented, carefully and "precisely" worded and all the images are absolutely relevant. No exageration, no manipulation, no computer generated imagery ... Ben, you are doing a great service to us all by producing these videos, thank you so much. I just came back from my first trip to Egypt and I came back with more questions than I had before. I am so glad to have found your channel.
The best content on this topic on TH-cam 👌
True!
Definitely. Nobody else compiles this information as well. The production quality is great and his voice is great for narration also.
Best in english. But in russian there are tons of vids. They go very detailed about these things. Научно-исследовательский центр ЛАИ . They have started their expeditions around the world in 2008 or 2009. They have studied Egypt the most though. Im happy there is someone else on youtube in english .
Narrating is spot on mate... Definitely not a dig at anyone else 🙄
@@DEVAmy69 most of these videos are inspired by work published by Christopher Dunn in 1998 which predates your Russian friends. Think before you speak. Even then a lot of these researchers are inspired (although they might not admit it!) by Eric Von Daniken's 1968 book Chariots of the Gods.
This is the best video ever made for the support of high technology in ancient Egypt. Thank you,well done!
Thankyou once again Ben. I’ve used the precision evidence many times when debating with certain close minded individuals.
I’m now fascinated with not only the civilisation that built the pyramids, great labyrinth etc but how differently they must have lived.
They certainly had the “greenest” power plants as well as being the grandest
The insides of the boxes is what has me completely stumped even with my education and training in machining in tool and die.
If made of one solid piece inside corners seems like they'd be the hardest to do, especially where the walls meet and also meet the bottom.
There's been studies done by teams recently with laser levels and non of the boxes actually have a perfect 90 degree angle. They're all off by a few degrees.
@@poolplexer Did they post a video I can watch about their measurements?
Inside corners were imperfect but you are purposefully ignoring the perfect flatness of the walls of the inside, which are all truly parallel across the entire length of the interior of the box, being flat vertically and horizontally. Maybe you missed it or didn't understand the concept, so i'll state it clearly and easily here for you. To accomplish the above stated task of achieving relative perfect parallel flatness across a long and wide surface and on many sides, you CANNOT make one foul. If you so much as remove a pubic hair of material at any point on any wall, you've scrapped the entire project. It's like a high precision haircut, you can only take away the exact amount of hair to get the agreed upon style. If you take off too much at any side, you've ruined the style and disobeyed the agreement. Now consider that you CANNOT eyeball this level of precision across the inner dimensions of the box and stay true. If you have to use a surface roughness device to check that measurement, or use even a high quality modern straight edge or gauge, that right there should tell you what was needed to accomplish the task. If you suggest that you can eyeball it, i've got a high salary job for you in the construction industry where we could save a lot of time and money with you eyeballing every measurement to an exact value within fractions of inches, i'll get rid of all my measuring devices right now. Hell, you could really make it big in the aerospace industry with that kind of capability, should give Lockheed a call. @@poolplexer
@@poolplexerYou are correct.
Watch this video carefully as they talk about insane accuracy of the sarcophagus.
There are obvious deviation of reflection off the top of the lid, as they just got done claiming precision to 0.00005".
The video is a joke.
Machinists use Granite inspection tables with less zeroes after the decimal point.
These guys are making a lot of money with this crap.
And that isn't criticism of the fine work of people long ago.
I'm criticizing dishonest people today, showing bullshit videos.
@@wyattsmith2143
Start watching the video at 11 minutes, and you'll clearly see reflections that deviate by quite a noticeable amount.
If you worked in an Optical lab, or a Granite shop, or machine shop with lapping and grinding equipment, you would know what to look for.
Christopher Dunn is dishonest.
The same people who say “they didn’t have the wheel” also say they “rolled blocks on logs.” That’s a face palm, if they understood how to roll heavy objects on logs and understood the geometry required to build the pyramids then they knew how the wheel worked.
If they had chariots, didn't they have to have wheels......
Can't use a wagon to move big stones, axel won't hold.
@@daisyd9473 they didn't have chariots
@@echoofdionysus4388 they did at least in middle kingdom era
@@echoofdionysus4388 yea they did. Check out King Tuts tomb. Check out some of the art thats all around Giza.
Today we use granite surface plates for inspection of manufactured parts. These plates come in many sizes & cost from few hundreds to over $10K depending on size, shape, precision grade. Only top surface is precision surface. In case of granite box we do not have a technology today to make it. Not even close. Here is the link to factory tour showing production of granite surface plates. As you can see machines to produce these simple plates are huge, several stages of production. How could you fit one of these machines in narrow caves where Egyptians finished their boxes? Myself I am 71 old , retired mechanical engineer who worked on most of metal cutting machines & my conclusion is that technology of making Egyptian granite boxes is out of this world.Granite surface plate factory tour:th-cam.com/video/Uj66A6gq2Lw/w-d-xo.html
Let alone a granite, highly polished box with an inner limestone box that fits like it was poured in a liquid state like concrete!! Unbelievable!!
The precision is amazing. I did hear a theory that the stones were finished first, and the tombs and structures built around them?
And so the enigma continues. Isn't it wonderful?
Thomas Parker that sounds pretty plausible
Frans Mars , it’s fustrating, I just want the solution now! It’s annoying that this mystery isn’t mainstream interrogation, instead of it, it make us sound like complotist like we start to mention these stuff to other people with mainstream egyptian knowlegde.
Loved this ! Have just started to watch all ur shows ! I am truly blown away with it all and love the work G Hancock and Randell is doing also !
Thanks
Great video, it's almost painful not knowing who they were and how they did these things
One of us (and there's now 8 billion of us ) will work this out - it won't be me - It may not be in my lifetime = excruciatingly painful - - old git, UK
Documentaries like this always leave me feeling unsettled and frustrated.
It appears that its pretty obvious that a prior civilization , one that was much more advanced technologically, must have been involved. Someone has to come up with a plan on how to date these statues, carvings and structures, there has to be a way? We also need to start looking into what caused this civilization to fail, and then to leave all of it's artefact's behind. There must be some sort of evidence of this, or was it extremely localised, even so we seem to have a good start as to where to look.
Fascinating stuff, mindboggling even!
I'd imagine sand blasting / or water too acheive the high precision .
There's shafts dug into the rock in which a weighted shaped to fit rock can be suspended in and compressing the water or air. When pressure drops the stone can be lowered by pulleys.
Once one small one is built larger & larger ones can be made more easily from the 1st.
I cannot think of a high pressure hose ?
Templates can be made and used by joiners / carpenters to achieve symmetry by the sand/ or water nozzle cutters.
Those BLACK AFRICANS WERE SOMETHING ELSE BACK THEN…. AMAZING
After 35 years working in domain of precision machining combined with manipulation and assembling of heavy metallic construction pieces, I can confirm every word that is said in this video. Nowadays, on smaller scale, we could replicate the most of presented items, but on actual scale that we witness in Egyptian artifacts - simply NO WAY. Even replicating on small scale, it requires sophisticated computer programs based on advanced mathematics. Some of them we couldn't do even on small scale, for example the schist disc. There is no known technology for machining of such unfriendly, crispy, granulated material like schist (slate) at so small thickness, especially not in such mind boggling, 3D curved shape.
How do you feel about thermo dynamics, maybe lasers? Do you think they could have cast the pieces
@@grantbuxton It have been proven that blocks used for building are not casted.
Lasers (as we know them) are great, but also have limitations.
Nobody knows how they manipulated such heavy weights and especially how they have reached such level of precision.
Agreed, I ran a 5 axis cnc center for years and I could digitize it and write a program for it but it would probably take me several weeks to copy one, and likely dozens of blocks of solid material and countless types of tooling etc, with accompanying programming trial & error w combos of toolpaths, feed/speed etc for me to figure out how to copy that thing
and I’m talking a half million dollar machine & dozens of thousands in tooling, starting with a Bluetooth digitizer that looks like it came from star wars ($30k piece about 1/4 the size of a red bull can that looks like the vital part of time traveling machine) with ceramic extensions and ruby ball tips that I’d have to calibrate with less runout than a 10th the width of a hair at 360 degrees etc etc
That’s just hardware to digitize a 3D model of it, then add the $60k 5 axis surface editing & programming software to make a computer model that would translate to the 5 axis software for programming the countless sequences that would be necessary along with toolpaths, feeds speeds etc
Yea, as someone who’s actually made pieces like that and I know what’s required to produce something that sophisticated, along with these fkn billet one piece boxes bigger than most CNC machines available today that would be required to ATTEMPT replicate one...
I’m sorry but either we’re still in the Stone Age compared to whoever built all this shit or it’s fkn aliens bro. Go find anyone who runs a 5 axis cnc for a living and show him just the 2 aforementioned pieces, tell him those things were dated prior to the Stone Age. Then say mainstream narrative claims they were hand made. 11/10 cnc operators will laugh and say with conviction it’s more likely aliens are among us.
You should do some more research. The shit disk isn't even close to precise and level.
@@DeezNutz-ce5se Schist disc was found broken and now it's just crudely reassembled.
45 years of research should be enough I suppose.
Nice job! People don't realize how difficult it is to put a video like this together. I appreciate your work and it is work. Thank you.
Agreed. Bravo!
He must have used some sort of advanced technology.
Thanks so much for putting the links to each part in the description! You might be surprised that the "algorithm" doesn't automatically suggest the next part. Very interesting material built on the research of one of my favorite theorists Christopher Dunn.
I hope to stillbe alive when we figure out what technology they used to make all these beautiful carvings,giant perfect statues, and pyramids. The hardest of rock was perfectly carved into a precise polished bowl. Amazing findings. Thanks for your videos
The idea that some of those incredibly precise and enormous stone carvings and granite boxes being made by primitive man who supposedly only had copper tools and hadn't discovered the wheel yet, is just laughable. It's very clear to me that a big chunk of our history is missing. The work of Graham Hancock and Randal Carlson is absolutely amazing, as is the work of smart people like the creators of this video and channel. It's beyond fascinating, and equally important to understand our history. I truly believe that a giant cataclysm took place and is absolutely responsible for the displacement of the technology in this video. It just seems impossible that the people of Egypt in our history books is responsible for the amazing structures in this video. There's clearly two different techniques for stone work in Egypt. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to unlocking the mystery of this matter! I look forward to following all of the new discoveries of the future!
Lots of history is missing. That is the nature of the natural world. But your lack of knowledge of the available technology of the time periods in question makes it seem even more grandiose that it already is. And a lot of these are very grandiose in their own right. Lathes were known to exist in the 14th century bc and drills even earlier than that. Magnification via the use of lenses at least 424 BC. Investment casting, a method still used today goes back as far as 3700-4000 BC. All known via archeological evidence and investigation. All of these could easily pre-date the reference material. None of what is discussed here requires some unknown civilization with advanced technologies.
@@donovansweet9566 Thats a great point, and very well could be the case. This topic is so interesting and fascinating. I wish those idiots didn't burn down that library in the past and destroy a huge portion of the know knowledge at the time. I always forget the name of that library lol.

This is a great great video really digging into a lot of the details other videos on the same topic leave out. I especially enjoyed the chapter about the complexity of the crown/headdress - this part of the sculptures that looks to be easiest shows to be the most complex of all. Thank you for a superb lecture on this profound subject.
Christopher Dunn's Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt is a book everyone should read.
I read it three times. It really is awesome. And I wish someone like Mr Dunn would be granted full access to all the sites in Egypt, to conduct in depth studies of all the ancient artifacts and structures.
This video should be ran in every school, fantastic work dude.
TH-cam is the new school. Teachers are cursing joe rogan, ben shapiro and jordan peterson etc
I can tell you that my kids will be watching this. I think a lot of teachers would love to share this with their kids, but it doesn't fit within the curriculum standards forced upon them by the inept people at the top making decisions.

Ben although I do not always agree with him has a lot of good points or at least get you thinking and Jordan is also a lot of great ideas and thoughts and perspective so yes at this point I like looking at things a bit differently and getting other peoples perspectives and point of you I don’t know if that was supposed to be a cheap shot or you do not agree that they are insightful or have any merit to what they are saying?
They wont allow it
Great video!!! I use this video for reference daily to astonish and educate friends and family! Well done Ben
I believe much of the hard stone working was done with an abrasive. Circular vases and forms can be achieved by using a spinning technique with an abrasive like sand or flint chips.
Everytime I look at these amazing artifacts in Egypt I always get the feeling as if I'm looking at the past and the future at the same time. Could human tech evolution go in cycles? Did we invent the wheel millions of times in the past? Is every invention a re-invention? This is all mind blowing! Great Video UnchartedX!
Great insight. Yes I believe we are seeing the work of those more advanced along a Yuga cycle than we ourselves are.
No.

Beautiful and well balanced view which I found quite emotional. If only we could have seen these items being produced what an incredible sight it would have been. It’s a shame the Egyptologists do not open their artifacts up to greater scrutiny. One day maybe.
Utterly convincing and compelling. I'm completely hooked.
After having just watched part 3 of this series I'm back to watch this again. Your videos just get better and better. Camera work, lighting, sound, depth of topic, attention to detail. You deserve millions of subs.
One of my fave new chnnels
Appreciate you Ben for your work and all that you do..
One of the things that stands out to me about the precision artefacts (statues, boxes and jars) is the absolute minimalism of the design language. Very simple lines, shapes and surfaces. It literally looks like it was designed with the modelling limitations of a modern cad program/nurbs modeller.
This video has really made me realise that those bowls are not just any pottery. Wow who ever made those most definitly had some sort of advanced technology to produce that type of accuracy with such hard materials. Thank you for your research.
🤪
You couldn't make a pot if your life depended on it, so these Egyptian artists must have used "advanced technology", of course!...

It must have been quite something if you think there's anything serious to "learn" from these videos!
Lol!
I run a Faro Vantage laser tracker every day at work. About 20 minutes with one of those boxes and I could tell you exactly how square and flat the boxes in the Seripeum are to about .0001 of an inch or .0001 of a degree.
Edit to add: I work in a machine shop and deal with tight tolerances daily. Our shop has some of the largest CNC milling machines in the country, and we manufacture some massive parts. I would be extremely curious to see those machine marks and bore holes for myself. I wish I could bring my laser tracker with me, if I ever get to go to Giza.

Bravo, Ben....Bravo! Well done, young sir! You really hit this one right out of the ballpark!
The fact that most, if not all Egyptologists and Archeologists are from an academic background with little or no experience in manufacturing is at the heart of why we a moving forward at such a slow pace in investigating these issues further.
Anyone with any kind of rudimentary experience in manufacturing or engineering who looks at any of these objects will simply be awestruck, they are mind-boggling and there really are no words to describe how laughable it is to suggest that these objects were made with anything close to the current narrative put forward by academia.
Just fantastic work. Your best video of them all, I think.
‘Precision’ was a very poignant title for this episode because the level of precision in the vases and sculptures, to me, was not human. It was ‘more human than human’. Too perfect, too exact. Actually soulless. Makes me realise the beauty of imperfection. That’s what makes us human. “My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Is that bragging or a threat? Making me wonder if one day an ant will wake up and realise, it’s just an ant.
Is that bragging or a threat?
Well it's part of 1819 poem by Percy Shelley:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
- Percy Shelley, "Ozymandias", 1819 edition
So
If I was to ever educate the young or old, your videos would be my first source to educate. Thank you Ben, for all your hard work.
I like yor quality of production. Top notch. Good job Ben! Thank you.
fascinating - thank you for producing this.
I think that the vases were blown like glass. I'm a machinist by trade, and these captivated my attention mostly because of the materials they're made of. You can't even scratch the surface of many of these with steel, let alone copper. But blown glass can be shaped relatively easily despite its hardness. It would also explain the precision, as blown glass is often rotated similarly to parts on a lathe, spinning it while shaping it with a tool. Also, using a lathe wouldn't work on many of these, as the handles are protruding. But glass blowing is similar to welding, so the handles could have been added after the jars were turned. It also explains how the jars could have been made so thin.
But are you saying that the rock was melted and then shaped? I can't tell, but surely they were sculpted in some fashion from existing rock with some kind of advanced machine..
But HOW?
Keep up the great work, Ben! We appreciate the effort!
One of the best videos on the subject, well written and narrated. I myself run a manufacturing of high-precision products (we generally require precision of IT Grade 9 or better) so as a professional I can vouch for every technical statement in this video.
I also wanted to note that we have similar artefacts in Russia, although attributed to much modern times (e.g. Grand Kolyvan Vase, XIX century, on display at National Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg). Let me know if you are interested in learning more about them.
Speaking about Egyptian high-precision artefacts, I cannot agree more that they required an advanced technology to be produced. They simply cannot be hand-crafted using the tech available at the time. That may not necessarily be the high-speed milling (or sort of CNC machining), but rather a technology yet unknown to us. As an example of similar novel technology not available a mere 50-60 years ago is an EDM which is used to carve extremely hard metals such as tungsten.
Yury Galtykhin
Hi Yuri, I would be very interested to hear your views on the "Grand Kolyvan Vase".
@@2394Joseph Firstly, I am not an expert in stone cutting, so my opinion is basically an opinion of a layman.
Anyways, here it is. The whole story of this artefact has few weak spots to me:
1) The official history tells about the original blueprints created by the architect Melnikov (earlier sources name another architect as its creator though). However, these blueprints were lost sometime around the alleged completion date. This is really strange that these blueprints were not preserved for further repairs and maintenance.
2) The vase has a shape of an ellipse, and made with very high precision. This is not a lathe which is relatively easy to manufacture. Even today with all available machinery and precision instruments it would require an enormous amount of efforts to maintain such precision. Not sure how it was made nearly 200 years ago.
3) I heard from a couple people that this particular artefact has absolutely minimal thickness to be structurally sound. Should they made the vase thinner by less than an inch, and it could not support its own weight. How could the creators of this vase 200 years ago make such calculations? Let alone, how did they make it with chisels and hammers without breaking it into pieces?
4) The vase was completed on site of manufacture. Then, extremely fragile vase with the weight of 19 metric tons was hauled all the way more than a thousand miles to its current location in St. Petersburg. How? The official accounts tell the story of hauling it, but they don't give any details except for the headcount of haulers.
5) It took 11 years to manufacture the vase, but when it arrived to St. Petersburg, it sat on the barge for 4 years waiting for special foundation to be built. Yes, they first manufactured it, then hauled it all the way down to the nation's capital, and only after it arrived they started to build a foundation for it. And building the foundation (relatively easy job) took more than 1/3 of the time needed to manufacture this masterpiece. Does it look like a well-planned operation?
6) and more. I could continue this list of strange facts about this vase, but I think this should be more than enough to at least make official history of it to be not completely trustworthy.
I personally believe that this vase might be well an artefact which remains from prior technically advanced civilization.
@@yurygaltykhin6271 Yuri, thank you for taking the time to detail your knowledge of the vase here. Very much appreciated. I was not aware of the Grand Kolyvan Vase. There is a saying that “history is a lie agreed upon” and the vase is a prime example of that. The Great Pyramid of Giza is also another one. According to the history books, Herodotus was told by the Egyptians that it took 20 years to build it and that is what is still taught today. There are 2.3m 2,5 ton (some even heavier) blocks of precision cut hard granite in the pyramid. The joints are so fine that you cannot force a cigarette paper between them, and there is no evidence of mortar. You do not have to be a mathematical genius to work out that they would have needed to cut, transport and lay 315 blocks blocks every day, (or close to 14 every hour) to achieve that, while just using hammers, chisels, tree trunks and wooden boats - impossible. If our teaching establishments can't work that out, and challenge it, there is not much hope for us.
This has got to be one of the best videos I've seen about our modern past.
In my opinion it rivals big name media such as BBS PBS Nat Geo etc.
Excellent work !!!
I found that many of the serapis temples all around the world are in alignment with each other. That is even a higher level of precision. These people were absolute masters.
I had the privilege of performing the first edit of "Lost Technologies" for my dear friend Chris. If you read his work with full understanding of its consequences, you too will be staggered
by its implications. Ben does a great job of summarizing Chris's work, while advocating, as Chris himself has done, a consistent and continuing investigation based on that work by the mainstream, which has the dollars to do it. To date, it hasn't.
>>>AGREED
Engineer here. I just finished reading Christopher Dunn's book on lost technology of ancient Egypt (2010), very well presented and definitely worth a read. I recommend it highly. Just started reading the Giza Powerplant, looks good so far.
Superb !
This is the documentary that I would have made (if I had your talent and eloquence). Just one comment, consider the trappings and technological capabilities that accompany the preponderance of precision in our time. Your introduction hints at it when you mention space flight and microelectronics but it is a logical conclusion to assume that these sophisticated technologies also existed in the distant past. In fact it would be more fantastic to assume that they only achieved sophistication in stone manufacture. Many of the artefacts you examine might once have been augmented with other technologies much less durable than stone and have long since disintegrated.
A very good point methinks. Thank you for this perspective. I have long (intuitively) thought the same without knowledge of any kind about these artifacts. This documentary is providing supportive substance to my musings.
Most people forget what great craftsmanship and tenacity can produce. The pharaohs only employed the best of the best
I was a machinist when I was younger and there was investment castings hold a tolerance of .0005 be polished Easley but stone is a different entity would have to cool for a long time to get the crystals in the stone ( just out of the box thinking) love your podcasts keep it up
As a bricklayer/mason. Carving two or more, individual statues/columns or pillars to the exact measurement without advance measuring tools would be very, very difficult. Keep up all you great work🤙🏽
Would you agree it would be extremely difficult? Or is that a stretch? Just curious! Thanks 👍
@@ItsOnlyNiall I believe with enough time anything can be done. Yes, it would be extremely difficult. But one mess up and you would have to start all over on the project and I think the “ones” that wanted the things built would want to see most constructions completed in their lifetime. Just as in current times.
Difficult or time consuming
@@Shad0wack Both
But do you agree that once you have mastered the techniques, it should be reproducible? That calipers, levels and plumb lines are very simple devices with a wide range of uses.

God... Seen and studied this topic countless times and I'm still fascinated with it, especially considering just how overlooked this subject is, relegated to the "settled science" category, we clearly don't know shit about our past. Well done as always my man! Respect!
@Eddy Hep I didn't even mention Zog yet you had the clout and balls to realize that commonsense isn't Antisemitic, it's Antiseptic. Thanks for helping eliminate the spread of bullshit throughout the World. You made my day! That tribe has it's hands in everything wrong with the World today and it's always refreshing to hear someone point it out.
@Eddy Hep Here's something not related to Egypt but certainly pertaining to the Historical Record, especially concerning the past century where Science, Archeology, History, Economics and Academia went awry. No surprise discovering the typical tribe of "culprits" behind every major calamity. Have a look at this FOIA release on the CIA's website, titled "National Cultural Development Under Communism", specifically on Page 9 where it mentions Tartaria. www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/document/cia-rdp78-02771r000200090002-6
I bet you probably know about Old Maps and the largest Empire no one's ever heard of but just in case you haven't, check it out. It goes without saying that Communism was a Jewish and Zionist movement that has yet to answer for the 100+ Million they murdered in their indiscriminate Genocide. Well past time they answer for their crimes. People need to openly discuss the blood on their hands without fear of their dubious labels.
@Eddy Hep Thought I'd throw more sourced and annotated research your way proving how Zionists were responsible for escalating both World Wars. Hopefully you know the aforementioned document served as a receipt in 1917 after the YEARS of work Zionist's had accomplished by bringing the USA to the aid of the ALLIES entering WWI. This excerpt proves prior knowledge of well before 1917...
‘The Balfour Declaration, in the words of Prof. H. M. V. Temperley, was a “definite contract between the British Government and Jewry” (History of the Peace Conference in Paris, vol. 6, p. 173). The main consideration given by the Jewish people (represented at the time by the leaders of the Zionist Organization) was their help in bringing President Wilson to the aid of the Allies. Moreover, officially interpreted at the time by Lord Robert Cecil as ‘Judea for the Jews’ in the same sense as ‘Arabia for the Arabs,’ the Declaration sent a thrill throughout the world. The prior Sykes-Picot Treaty of 1916, according to which Northern Palestine was to be politically detached and included in Syria (French sphere), was subsequently, at the instance of the Zionist leaders, amended (by the Franco-British Convention of December 1920, Cmd. 1195) so that the Jewish National Home should comprise the whole of Palestine in accordance with the promise previously made to them for their services by the British, Allied and American Governments, and to give full effect to the Balfour Declaration, the terms of which had been settled and known to all Allied and associated belligerents, including Arabs, before they were made public.
If people would stop believing silly religions, people would realize we have lived over 10,000 years ago. The oldest human skull found is about 400,000 years old. Our known history is only 5-6 thousand years. We could have accomplished our current level of technology over 60 times from the time of the skull. If we started even earlier, we could have had awesome, highly advanced, way more advanced then us, technology until the asteroid hit Earth's reset button.
Mind blowing videos, thanks 👍👍
EXCELLENT VIDEO. Worth watching
This has got to be my favourite one of yours yet Ben, gonna show this to everyone I know! Thank you!
Thank you for one of the best documentaries I have seen about Egypt the content and detail were excellent I can’t wait for more from you
Absolutely fascinating. Well done 🙌🏻
Ben I am a mechanical design engineer and I greatly enjoy watching your videos. My father was an engineer too, and he always used to tell me he didn't believe the archeologists pounding stone and copper chisel theory.
For me the question which needs to be solved in order to prove or disprove Graham Hancock's theory of an archaic civilisation which taught multiple hunter gatherer cultures is the determination of the true date. As you will know, our date today is based on the birth of Jesus, who may or may not have existed, that is another question. And yet we see cultures around the world who seem to have structures which display common cyclopean features. More are being found in different locations every year, so for me this is not even an argument we need to have. The proof is there in carved stone.
We also know that all the cultures of the world seem to display skill in astronomy, and all have their own calendars. The mayan long count dates back further than 3000BC, doesn't this correspond almost exactly with the high precision pre-dynastic vases you have already shown us, which Chris Dunn has analysed? The Jomon people of Japan were carving intricate Jade jewellery 40,000 years ago. It seems to me that hunter gatheres would have no reason to know the time of year beyond the season, and what the animals they followed were doing, and where they were headed next.
If Graham is correct and an archaic civilisation poured out knowledge around the planet more or less simultaneously, then this is when the keeping of a real date will have begun. I fail to see how the romans would have counted the date backwards towards the birth of a person they didn't even know would be born, but who became so important that history reset the date for us all. If calendars around the world were started even within a thousand years of each other, I feel Graham would be vindicated. With all the art, and scrolls and tablets, that we have, does none of it make any reference to date. We have the logs of pyramid architects who logged the passing of every stone from quarry to site, but no one mentions what the egyptians thought the date was. I find this impossible, simply because if they kept a track of everything without knowing what day or year it was, except by lunar and solar cycles, then they were even clevered than we give them credit for.
I would be interested to learn your thoughts, and even Graham Hancocks on this as it seems so simple. If a chinaman crossed the border to India and spoke with a person there, would they argue over what the date was? According to Graham Hancock, these different calendars should align roughly, if they were all started based on equinoxes and solstices. Of course, speaking different languages, these months might be differently named. Maybe they even had thirteen months each of four weeks... Damnit, I need to know!!! ;)
Great work! I remember so profoundly how fascinated I was as a student of architecture many years ago with the precision of some Egyptian artifacts, and that I just couldn't believe that they were supposed to use just simple tools and achieve such precision, while in some purely build contemporary buildings one can feel just by walking the stairs, that they do not measure equally even though we have all the contemporary technology available...
Is it known what caused the pillars to fall and break? As an artist, when I see the accomplishments of ancient people. The size, accuracy, and the detail of what they have created. It continually blows my mind. Great videos. Thank you!
This is utterly fascinating. Thank you for all of your videos, my friend.
I think, or at least I hope, that eventually there will be so many people asking questions that academia will have no choice but to address this issue.
I said it on another vid & I’ll say it again, (as a professional precision CNC machinist):
there’s nothing else to describe this level of execution outside of something analogous to a monumental numerically controlled machine with a table that holds the work piece and a rotating tool that moves along at least 4 if not 5 different axis’s machining these structures while following something like a blueprint.
That or some laser technology we have yet to discover.
But as someone with a formal education in precision machine work & engineering, and a decade of experience with precision manual & cnc machining, it’s truly mystifying to learn about all of this.
The only thing more monumental than these huge precision machined artifacts, is the monumental amount of stupidity required to boldly claim they had to have been hand made.
That’s like some alien finding Elon’s Tesla in deep space and deciding it was built manually by the dinosaurs.
Look closely at the shadows on the Serapeum sarcophagums sides.
We will see they are not flat, so not perfectly machined.
@@nalinux I’ve seen tool path marks like that on billet machined pieces that were made in a 3 axis mill where the programmer or the software didn’t have enough resolution to program in a smooth transition and I’ve even seen fairly similar examples of pieces machined on a 4 axis mill with adequate software & programming just a lack of coolant or worn out tool or excessive feed & speed caused tool chatter
Regardless, unless you understand precision machine work and the process of machining 1 piece billet parts in particular, it cannot be described nor overstated how unbelievably difficult it is & how far advanced machinery would be required to end up with a 1 piece box from a solid single chunk of granite that is both square, flat, and true with .002” .... I spent years operating a half million dollar 10 ton 5 axis state of the art CNC machine (designing induction systems for million $/yr racing programs and if the machine wasn’t putting out $400 worth of work per hour I was losing money) and it had quartz body Bluetooth computerized ceramic shaft/ruby ball digitizing probe ($30k piece about 1/4 the size of a red bull can) which had to be calibrated to .0001” runout at 360 degrees rotation, and nothing I had would even come close to being able to measure tolerances as tight as .002” flat/square/true 10+ft from end to end over that large of a workpiece. In fact the entire shop with millions worth of elite top shelf precision cnc machines & the most advanced tooling available (nothing in the shop would be kept in use past 2 years old, basically brand new latest/ greatest technology is all I used) and nothing we had could neither produce a one piece box that size with as much accuracy nor could we even measure it accurately.
And they’re made of fkng granite, which is infinitely harder to work with than the billet steel & aluminum pieces I’m used to
And they were mirror polished which is also hard to appreciate the difficulty
This is literally unfathomable work that our best technology today would have a pretty hard time replicating today and most likely we’d absolutely fail to replicate anything that size with such precision
You're quickly becoming one of my favorite youtube channels...well done
As an artist and art lover those statues are so satisfying to my eye. I’m jealous of the skill

Could the laws of gravity, or physics in general have changed throughout time? Dinosaurs were enormous... there was megaflora and fauna earlier on, but evolution, and entropy has favored smaller iterations of life. Pole shifts, universal expansion, or visiting gods. They results of Egyptians earliest works are almost too astounding to comprehend. Perhaps alien visitors who kicked off cilvilation on Earth with something Noone could ignore, or forget.
@@rhettlee The whole "ancient aliens" thing is lazy, boring and cliched at this point. For mine it's obvious that humans are a lot older than previously thought, and human civilisation is probably very, very, very old, but has come back from cataclysmic events several times, with technology being lost or being rediscovered thousands upon thousands of years later.
Think about it Rhett: if everything turned to shit starting tomorrow, what EXACTLY could you do and achieve??? Out of all the wonderful technology we enjoy in modern life, what could you personally reinvent, manufacture, recreate after it gets lost, destroyed etc? Ways to generate electricity? Thus long distance communication options like computers/internet, telephones, telegraphs? Transport options like cars/ICE, planes & helicopters, ships/boats? Engineering like heating/air conditioning, plumbing, electrician work? Clothing/cloth manufacturing, knitting, sewing etc? Mining/metallurgy? etc etc etc!
Superb content. Facts, photos, diagrams, video- incredibly well done with outstanding verbal delivery.
