I feel unbelievably fortunate and blessed to have found you your channel and your determination to bring the truth to us THIS makes you one of the most upstanding humans alive today in my opinion and I'm sure I'm not the only 1 who has this opinion...THANKS MY MAN
@@jandrews6254 its not the knobs that make the distinct difference its the large perfect cuts and saw marks n seeing the crude hieroglyphs scratched over them the older works also the glyphs are carved ver deep and are larger and some even different knubs are a whole other story and unknown what they were or stood for

The hardness of the stone is the greatest predictor of achievability. Many works cannot be reproduced with modern technology, such as the Apis bull boxes in the Serepeum. There is a missing component not seen since the days of the monoliths, likely using sonic resonance.
The place is amazing, everything Egypt has been so focused on the pyramids and sphinx, us plebs don't get to see this kind of history till recently, time to fill a lifelong dream and go see this myself.
Cool video. I had never seen this place before. Thanks for sharing it with us and for your thoughts on what we are seeing. I agree with most of them. I sure wish we could find answers about the true builders of these amazing places you show us. That's something I would like to know before I die but I don't know if we will ever find out. Thanks again for another great video.
Although it is a softer stone the work is still extensive and relatively precise and also heavily eroded in places. It's the vast quantity of ancient construction, the quality of the work and the sheer scale of some of the stone blocks or in this case the quantity of material removed that has me convinced that these civilizations are much older. These vast ancient complexes around the globe that have been built with such precision simply could not have been built in the timeframe that's attributed to them with the tools that the mainstream tells us these ancients used. What civilization could have dedicated a vast amount of its population to skilled construction work for extended periods of time, who is feeding them, who is defending them, what are their merchants, craftsmen, clothing makers, metalworkers, miners, tool makers doing. A civilization needs its people to be doing the regular everyday activities of keeping itself functioning, to build these vast stone complexes would require a large surplus of labour to train to the skilled level of a tradesman. Yes it's true that a times they could have increased the workforce by bringing in everything from farmers to warriors but you'd still need a large cadre of skilled workers who are dedicated to construction alone to direct the efforts of temporary unskilled labourers. The time needed to have built these ancient structures with the tools the mainstream tells us they used would suggest that these sites are much older and that would require a civilization to be extremely stable, politically, socially and economically for thousands of years, when has that ever happened. There is also no credible explanation from the mainstream as to how these civilizations managed to quarry, precisely shape and move incredibly large and sometimes very hard stone in large quantities and often over vast distances. It's only logical to assume that they had technology that we don't know of. Not to mention the evidence of tube drills and circular saws that the mainstream barely mention, nor have they discovered any examples of those tools or written evidence of their use in ancient texts. Evidence of that technology may well have disappeared due to the vicissitudes of time or have been simply melted down and reused because metal was and remains a valuable reusable resource.
Even a fool can see that these megalithic sites were built by an extremely advanced civilization, but that doesn’t fit the mainstream science narrative of evolution. Quite the opposite indeed!
I would not be surprised if many of the tombs are repurposed mines for mining ore. Miners understand the need to leave pillars in place to support the rock above.
The door on the Axum obelisk is similar to the Egyptian false doors. They can be traversed in three steps in the dimension of chemistry. This makes it easier to understand the casting of the stone.
I cannot help but wonder if this site was originally a city or settlement before the Egyptians found it. From the size of many of the door frames, it also looks like the original builders were a bit taller. Do you think this site is antediluvian?
Greetings Brien, I will just toss this ideal in about the knobs. Could they have used them as some kind of scaffling support? Ok that's all I got. Have a good one.
yeah square columns like that with such flat surfaces and sharp edges..you're not chiseling that I don't think, when you want sharp edges..soft stone is not a positive (and those edges don't even look chipped or worn today!), I've always figured they used wire saws and I guess some kind of articulating mobile planer and oscillating tool, haha who knows... then again those nubs make their way into the construction to further complicate things, imagine doing that in torch light without a respirator
what strikes me is the extent of damage in Egypt, which is a pity it is hard to tell what was originally and what use it was, etc - I mean so many pillars have their tops cut off, doesn't seem like caused by the ceiling collapse but almost demolished by machines, you don't suppose Egyptians in early 20th century were up there with large digging machines removing ceilings etc?
Nobles: some of that looked as old as Titi's tomb ..the crack in the ceiling and..the steps in places look erroded.. Like he described about the temple of Hathor..steps....sometime before the generations passed thru it building and removing something bad happened here before it was made into a graveyard ..it looks like a missing pyramid ..from a distance..it gives me bad vibes that's never happened before
You’ve never played Aladdin? Those knobs can be spun on and ancient thieves could do flips off of them. You would collect more jewels if you could control the dismount perfectly.
The lines are the same all the way across the whole "wall". Some are thinner and others thicker. But, keep that kind of open minded thinking going. See Tellingers latest.
Carving out tombs from rock (however hard), seems to a recurring theme in many places around the mediterranean. Are there any parallels that could indicate how it was done within reasonable effort?
I have seen them in Greece as well. Probably also made by pre-dynastics haha…. Apparently the ancient Egyptians only could work limestone, according to this self proclaimed scientist.
There is no "reasonable effort" if you keep to the mainstream explanation of bronze chisels and pounding rocks :) more like impossible effort. Perhaps the softest stones, like this silt stone, could have been carved like that, but the effort would still be far more painful and a huge number of man-hours rather than "reasonable". If you step out of the stupid mainstream and into the possibility of lost high technology then the effort could be reasonable, but of course we have no direct evidence of what kind of technology it could have been.
@@nixxxon18 What??! First, what do you mean by "megalithic people"?? Second, it absolutely does not matter how skilled you might be when you try to cut stone with bronze tools. Simple physics (and trials have also been done) gives us all the proof that it is at best futile (or like I said barely plausible with the softest of stone and a zillion man-years) and at worst impossible! And third, what the hell do you know of ancient egyptians' "absolute mastery of manual stone work"?? Do you have a time machine??
There were inscriptions, did ANYONE record them for the few people who know how to read them? Sumerian or distinctly Egyptian writing? Also, in the first big room, what was that in the ONE AREA between a corner and a pillar? It seems to be a creature represented, to me. WHY WOULD THAT BE THERE? Way more to know here. Even still have painted walls, is that old or redone?
@@johna.4334 They still could have repurposed the rock. But, I do remember Brian saying a couple different stones here. Strange is isn't the Aswan marble.
For all the people who ascribe the protrusions as being for lifting, or standing or wrapping ropes around for transporting...well here's your proof that that's not what they were for. Those nubs were carved into the bedrock that was never expected to be moved.
10:35 big fan of extra-dry humor! "..or the result of some Human Incursion." while capturing fivefiv five or six Saints, with ONLY their faces dug away. Hey! "false door renderings?" Isn't THAT the Domain of the NubMaker9000 TM guys in Peru and Bolivia? nice snag!
Brien, open Google Earth & drop a pin at 15*27’45”N 25*42’25”W. Then back out until that pin is in the center of the globe & there’s a couple inches on each side of your screen. When you are looking at that center you see the outline on the bottom of the ocean (a scar) of where it looks like Africa used to be & was suddenly thrown due West (the entire continent).
Yet another place with locked entrances. We may only be seeing a small fraction of this site just like at Giza. They open a few of the smaller chambers and passages yet no one seems to know where all those locked doorways lead to. Interesting that you never see maps of these places that detail the layouts of what we are not allowed to see in person. I am sure all sorts of reasons are given like public safety, preservation and work in progress; but that is no excuse to hide the full extent of what is there.
Makes you really wonder, who or whatever hollowed out these caverns or caves whatever you want to call it where did they throw all the excess material at. Could it be all the bricks and boulder walls outside of this place?
The layering [ Stratifications ?] of the stone in the Tombs of the Nobles, those purple stripes are gorgious, aren't they ? When we see large spaces with very straight walls and pilars we question often if that would be possible with hand tools like the chisles , but as Brien said it could be done. I always think of the conecpt Time. We look at these with our own sense of time, our own perception of time, but maybe the people who made these had a totally different look on time itself. A different attitude towards time. But than again. If a ruler thought the work went too slow the chislers had to huury up. So their sensen of quick is probably the samen as our sensen of 'quick'
One may be have seen on YT how pakistan workers fix any damadge on trucks. They do it in the dust on the roadsite with rudimental tools and nearly bearfoot. May be them should be asked how the agyptians could do theire caves and tombes and what tools they (only) must have had.
All that work just to throw a dead body into it, this seems to be a waste of time and land management. I'm sure your book is not a waste of time, thanks for the Tour, Brien...
None of this was created to be used as a tomb. The Valley of the Kings wasn't designed for tombs either. The original purpose was most likely a mining operation. The pyramids supplied the power.
Just stop it, you have 500 men who all are in the middle of a time when everything in life revolved around the cult of Pharoah, they could do this shit with a quickness, bet this guy has rarely worked hard 12 hour day

2:36 Thank you for pointing out the knobs/nubs Brien. I was astounded when you first showed us these. Thanks as always.
definitely more than one group of stone works and completely different cultures and tec and tools ty Brian great work as usual
Might the knobs on the exterior wall have been anchor points for some kind of finish applied, which has since eroded and blown away?

The hardness of the stone is the greatest predictor of achievability. Many works cannot be reproduced with modern technology, such as the Apis bull boxes in the Serepeum. There is a missing component not seen since the days of the monoliths, likely using sonic resonance.
Yep. I believe sound/frequency is what was used to cut and lift the boxes as well as other huge megalithic structures.
The pyramids themselves also seem to be thermo-acoustic resonators which might have been the main power source for the tools (possibly wirelessly).
Really interesting ... thanks!
Yay a new video!’n

SO far ,so near : Thanks to You!
what a great peek at how rough filler stone was smoothly covered with cement / stucco
I would not be surprised if many of the tombs are repurposed mines for mining ore. Miners understand the need to leave pillars in place to support the rock above.
The Chinese lady has a channel that says the same thing. That it was a mining operation. Can’t remember the name of the channel
The door on the Axum obelisk is similar to the Egyptian false doors. They can be traversed in three steps in the dimension of chemistry.
This makes it easier to understand the casting of the stone.
Thank you Brian. I agree with your assessment of the tombs. They could not have hallowed them with hand tools. You think it would be obvious....
I could imagine those protuberances were there to hold lit lamp 🪔 to illuminate the paintings or tile work that once covered the walls on the outside.
11:35 those pillars look like they’re suppose to be taller and support a second floor that was notched into the wall
The tool marks on the walls might have resulted from removal of earlier art work which protruded
I cannot help but wonder if this site was originally a city or settlement before the Egyptians found it. From the size of many of the door frames, it also looks like the original builders were a bit taller. Do you think this site is antediluvian?
Maybe they banged up the nice smooth walls so that they can apply stucco and carvings
The Knobs GREW. The Mineral Kingdom LIVES.
Aswan is very ancient! The quarry is now a big hole, but it used to be very big mountains ;-) Al the granite has been used for worldwide purposes...
Greetings Brien, I will just toss this ideal in about the knobs. Could they have used them as some kind of scaffling support? Ok that's all I got. Have a good one.
This place looks like it was carved a 70 thousands years ago, not 12000. It really looks so so old
Again, how on earth could they see what they were doing away inside these catacombs?.
Digging that would produce a lot of spoil. Does anyone now where it is now?
Brien are we allowed to travel to egypt and jordan right now? I can't really tell when I look it up
6:38 Most Egyptians lived in the south... Especially during old - new kingdom.
yeah square columns like that with such flat surfaces and sharp edges..you're not chiseling that I don't think, when you want sharp edges..soft stone is not a positive (and those edges don't even look chipped or worn today!), I've always figured they used wire saws and I guess some kind of articulating mobile planer and oscillating tool, haha who knows... then again those nubs make their way into the construction to further complicate things, imagine doing that in torch light without a respirator
Just where is the saws or machinery that carved these huge chamber's.
