    The technological achievements of our ancient ancestors were outstanding, and they often don’t get enough credit for them. There were things our ancestors could do with bricks and stones in the distant past that we’d struggle to replicate today - so much so that we can’t help but wonder if some of the technology of the distant past has been lost. We’re not alone in wondering about that - many people feel the same way, and you might join them after watching this video!

    Rust proofing iron is no big mystery, & it's been well know since the iron-age... I can duplicate the coating on the pillar in about an hour using nothing more than vinegar & boiling water. It's called rust bluing. The vinegar creates a thin layer of iron oxide ( you can just let it form naturaly, but it takes longer), boiling the item turns the surface into a hard black, rust proof layer that can last indefinately... The pillar was likely quenched after casting, with the mass holding enough heat to boil the water around it...

    Thanks to all of you who already pointed out to Lightning Top that they misrepresented the Coso Artifact.
    Yes, that's me at time index 1:48. It was lifted from a Seattle Times article that reported that geologists from the University of Washington examined the Coso Artifact after I provided it to them and the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington.
    As you may have guessed, their analysis showed that there was absolutely nothing special about the iron oxide nodule surrounding the Champion spark plug. There are numerous examples of spark plugs that became encased in iron oxide nodules and the Spark Plug Collectors of America enjoy finding them and have a good laugh over them.

    The Coso artifact is not a puzzle to anyone. The spark plug is encased in a concretion. That's what happens when an object gets buried and water filtering through the ground above it carries minerals that attach themselves to the object. It is a very simple and well understood process and the Coso artifact is not an OOP.

      I first heard the cup mentioned in a pre-calculus class I took years ago at a university. My professors explanation for the cup was that Pythagoras would give his students these cups when he had them divide up wine between themselves. That way if the student who was pouring the wine became greedy and decided to pour himself more than the others, he would then be embarassed by the cup emptying the wine all over the table, exposing the students greed in front of the others. I have no idea where this version of the story came from, but found it interesting. It may not be the actual origins of the cup, but I found it interesting none the less

      Well, One from the 17th and 18th century may express that but the artisans of that time were using tools and formulas from the previous 1200 years, The Roman Techniques and industrial applications were well established for the Venetians.. The Romans just had the Talent pool of the entire conglomerated Empire and concentrated it all on one peninsula and applied it at an industrial scale, Great discoveries and streamlining are expected. Thats why very little has changed for the modern Artisan, We still use the same tools and techniques. Granted, The industrial revolution did change the formulas a lot as science developed better glasses for industrial applications vs Consumer based /Utilitarian and with that, some crossover techniques of today were simply impossible back then as they are specific to the type of glass being worked, . As a whole though Its still glass and works all the same.

      Also: sulfure stone, fluorite crystal and water are all you need to make hydrofluoric acid which can dissolve silicates like granite. There's tell of a plant that was used, and I'm betting it was a plant that grew over fluorite granite and its soils. If reduced to a slurry, it could have been a sort of acidic lubricant that eased cutting and didn't harm non silicate gemstones. Maybe even jade could do the job? You could make some great bits from jade that might not dissolve... but I can't say for sure.

You miss the vital point (first pointed out by Sir Flinders Petrie) that the grooves are NOT circles (as they would be with copper drills) but continuous spirals with a bore spacing so wide that even modern powered drills could not achieve that speed of drilling. The fact that hieroglyphics depict ancient Egyptians making holes in soft limestone is totally irrelevant because everyone accepts that they DID drill holes in soft stone. The point you are missing is that the methods they used could not have made six or nine-inch holes several yards deep (!) in granite, as found in Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. The SPIRAL grooves indicate a revolving cutting tool. Copper drills would make just circular marks.

We do us an "electro mechanical lap drill" for ease and speed (takes about 6 hours to drill through a 1/8" stone) but it gets the job done and could easily have been accomplished with a "Bow Drill" ... both Brass and Copper were readily available during the time of the Giza constructs.
