Yeah I saw one guy put some kind of micrometer, a badass one that looked like it cost tens of thousands of dollars, on one of those granite sarcophagi to measure how smooth or flat it was across the entire surface. The digital readout went below the micrometers tolerance like 0.0000005 or some shit. It was the Serapeum of Saqqara, I believe. If I am explaining this badly, I think I am. Humans 10,000 BCE and prior knew how to do some mind blowing shit with super hard stone and on a massive scale. Our technology can't even measure how smooth it is. All we can do is stare, attempt to measure, and scratch our puny monkey brains. Another thing ancients did with granite that blows my fucking mind, the pottery. I know, I know people are like "what the fuck is so special about that bowl or that water jug". Well it's not special, it's a god damn miracle by our standards and it should not exist according to the archaeological authorities.
They could make GRANITE less than a fucking centimeter thick WITHOUT BREAKING THE SHIT, in any design they wanted. If you know anything about metallurgy or geology, you know different materials have different mass, hardness, brittleness, etc. There have been artifacts found in Columbia made from diorite, if I am remembering correctly, that stone is just unworkable to modern day humans. No one can recreate any of this, much less explain how the fuck they moved stones weighing in at over 1000 tons and they moved them over 500 miles sometimes. My theory is they used some kind of liquid or acid, some kind of badass alchemy that was lost to time. It's like they could turn stone to into fucking playdoh, shape into whatever, then turn it back into stone. Anyways, there are so many civilizations underwater right now that mainstream academia just refuses to acknowledge. I used to think it was because they were lazy and didn't want to rewrite their precious history. Now I am beginning to see this shit is being hidden for a reason.
If you understand flatness tolerances that is fkn insane.
You remember wrongly

WITH BRONZE TOOLS, DURING THE BRONZE AGE.
granite is hard as fuck.
I've always heard rumblings about Egypt and was always on the fence about whether the mainstream narrative was correct until I came across UnchartedX. I watched all the videos on Egypt and it really is fascinating. I truly believe not all is as it seems. Definitely worth watching. Especially the stuff on the Serapeum. The incredible tolerances, the abandonment of stuff, the saw marks, the drill holes and cores, the sheer size of stone blocks, questions on geopolymers. So many questions. It's a shame Egypt is such a religious country as it seems to me they are purposely holding back research into their history as it probably blows the concept of Islam out of the water.
It makes no sense to me as it would be a huge tourism selling point. If they could indeed prove there was a lost civilization in Egypt more advanced than we know, thousands of years, people would come from all over the world to see and experience that. Not many places in the world could offer that.
yeah uncharted x is one of my favorite channels other than brian forester, and cf-apps7865.
and not exactly true, any megalithic site around the word offers the same thing. that's what makes them so interesting. Ancient people had way more knowledge than academia will admit to, for now.
Sure, there are other sites but nothing on the scale and variety of stuff in Egypt. It's so frustrating. There is clearly more knowledge out there to answer our questions but there are only a handful of people that seem interested and you're branded a conspiracy theory nutter if you question the mainstream narrative.
true, although I think the rock work at cusco could be a strong contender as far as skill involved. and aint that the truth man, I've changed a few minds with using machu picchu as an example, show them pictures of the heaviest rocks and explain that the rocks came from a totally different mountain side, and then show them pictures of the terrain. no one can explain how the inca managed it. one day hopefully, until then, I'll wear my conspiracy nutter badge with honor LOL
This is where is finally lost me.
Literally nobody ever claimed that the ancient Egyptians were primitive.

Here's a lady carving very exact pieces of granite with nothing but stone tools.
It is very easy to claim that something is not possible to make and then not even trying to replicate it. It's a whole different level actually proving that it was possible like she does.
few things that come to mind after watching that. I do not debate, working stone with harder or same stone makes said stone workable in some sense. But you have singled out one aspect of the entirety of what makes egypt mind boggling, its that multi ton granite pieces are shaped with not only angular precision, but geometrically symmetrical precision in some cases so precise we can not duplicate it with modern-computer controlled machines.. and all these pieces (other than the broken sarcophagus in cairo museum that has the SAW marks, and others) are just supposed to be believed they were made with no human error-when using the "rock smash" technique? this lady predicted it would take her at least 7 months to complete one vase in diorite, there were thousands of them found in . is the vase she producing so symmetrically precise it blows engineers minds? from the link you posted, her diorite pieces are far from the precision even the egyptians had in theirs, and nowhere as complicated, notice how she actually has no diorite vase? because she probrably couldn't figure it out either how they were able to hollow the inside out of a diorite piece from a 2 inch hole on the top, with all edges of the vase having the exact same thickness of the vases form (we know "Egyptians" accomplished this because they measured the thickness from a broken diorite vase). its much bigger than pieces that can be produced in this method when compared to the pieces they made thousands of years ago. and thats not even touching on their ability to astrologically postiion their structures, as well as how they managed to detect ley lines so they could line the structures on them, or knowing the electrical properties of quartz or what electricity was-and we know, but wont accept it academically, that they knew about it from the sand they are finding in the voids of the great pyramid-its not the same sand found on the giza plateau-it was imported from hundreds of miles away just for "filler" because that particular sand had a quartz content that made it a better conductor than the sands of giza, and the Baghdad battery. and what impresses me the most is their understanding of complex math to make all of egypt even possible. and SO much more.
also while its on my mind I want to go back to the human error aspect. take the box in this video I posted in this thread-and on that box we will take the inside into context. while they were using a flint and stone hammer tecnique, if they went even 10000th of an inch too deep on ONE swing, they would have to turn around and rework the entire surface they had just got done doing to get it to the NEW depth. compound that to the entirety of production, and there would be no way they could have, for example, built the great pyramid in 20 years, as modern Egyptology says.
