Im in Giza right now and I have seen a statue in the museum polished so finely that you can see yourself in the stone, all around even on the very intricate parts. It’s standing in the corner somewhere and I am in disbelief that nobody seems the care a bit but everybody is flocking to a sandstone carving. Thank you so much for your work, you are a hero of mine, I think nobody covering all the anomalies as well as you. God bless
@@rickymarino1208 Great suggestions if you want to emerge yourself into pseudo science, unproven claims and deliberate misinterpretation of actual evidence to the contrary of the fraudster claims made by the ones you suggested. 👍🏻
@@mdsign001 you’re just a close minded sheep that believes everything big institutions tell you instead of looking at the evidence and thinking critically. If you haven’t noticed big institutions and the people that have put forward the current theories have a vested interest in being right and not looking foolish. Look around and maybe you’ll learn something. 👍🏼
Excellent work! The fact that they hollowed out the cracks in the granit, pretty much confirm it was meant to be a functionnal device. These "boxes" are amazing masterpieces of ancient time, absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing, it's really appreciated.
@@thebitsanpiecesman4423 It very well could be. The importance of sound, vibrations & frequencies is definitely a common theme found all over the ancient world.
It’s like whatever liquid they used almost strengthened the stone as well. This idea of liquid polishing I find to be the most interesting out of everything and it is absolutely mind boggling that these things aren’t studied further. Makes you feel like they have these answers and don’t want to release them, as this was a way to run electricity for entire cities for free. Thanks for all your work, love your channel.
You set out the facts then let it sink in,brilliantly done to reach as many interested people that want to think for themselves.i hated history lessons at school but now I can't get enough,especially after watching your programs,you're doing a brilliant job and deserve more recognition as someone that puts opinion in others hands and let's others carry the word forth. Keep it up Ben,people need educated,properly educated.
I was watching a talk by Brian Forester and he said he actually got inside one of these boxes and tried out different sounds and the ONLY sound that did something was the "ohm" sound. He said when he did that the box literally VIBRATED. Fascinating.
@Joshua Lambert I'm sorry I have no idea which one it is! And I tried going back through my history but he has so many and I've seen almost all of them so that didn't help at all. Search his name and serapeum and it's one of those. On the plus side, all of his videos are pretty interesting lol
@Joshua Lambert being an archeologist is my dream! After all of my kids are old enough to mostly take care of themselves I want to go back to school. I firmly believe there is so much more to find, and I want to help find it lol.
@Joshua Lambert just reading that pisses me off! Why can't the older generation of archeologists just accept that what they learned in school is wrong and that there is so much more out there?! And I know it all comes down to the narrative "They" want us to know, but it just makes me so mad that they try so hard to hide our history from us. Lol can you tell you hit a nerve?
@Joshua Lambert I'm sorry that happened to you. Alot of colleges these days are pretty pointless unless you want to learn hate. But I'm glad you're getting back into it. If we don't learn where we came from we're bound to repeat the same mistakes. And I'm pretty sure that's what "They" want.
I've been watching these videos for many years and I have to say you're wording and presentation is excellent Ben. Another great channel to start shifting people's minds from the nonsense were taught. Great channel
I do enjoy the multichannel and interview episodes but these more documentary style episodes are the best thing on the interweb in this subject by far.
'Primitive People' to paraphrase an old movie, we keep using this word, 'primitive'...I do not think it means what we think it means....The 'Primitive' ancients seem to have had acoustical & resonance technologies beyond ours. The 'primitive' ancients seem to have had advanced ability to control the molecular structure of stone using chemical, thermal, or acoustic means of some sort. I've been to a few sites myself, and of course a huge Megalithomaniac and I'm becoming convinced that we can actually say a few things about the ancient toolkit. A. There was a high-tech level tool that was rod or knife shaped that vibrated at an incredibly high rate that could literally destroy its way through dense stone like a knife. It left rough marks, but could leave curving, arcing cuts unexplainable as chisel marks such as in Longyou China B. There was a huge cutting disk or 'buzzsaw' like tool that was used by a civilization intermediate to the really hightech ancients which has left clear circular cutting marks. C. There was some means unknown to us that the Ancients had for literally changing the basic molecular structure of stone to a gelatinous state and back again, perhaps using unknown principles of acoustics, thermal devices, or some principle unknown to todays physics that was used by the really high-class high-tech civilization. D. Some type of TRUE geopolymerization was clearly used by the 'intermediate' Ancients. E. Boxes confined intense acoustic vibration, of air or other gases, produced by unknown means for unknown purposes, of the 'High' Ancients. F. Something was clearly plugged into or connected with stone objects or devices into openings left in ancient stones. Whether what was plugged in was metal, crystal, plastic, or wood is unknown but was not durable. Lots of exciting stuff going on now, Hawara Labyrinth in Egypt, Gunung Padang, etc but they so often hit snags of money, orthodoxy, and various nationalist & religious problems.
This is my Original idea and not from any book AFAIK, so happy to answer questions: Faceting helps avoid cracks in a box that is under pressure. Idea is to avoid 90 degree turns so the pressure is more widely distributed. These boxes were housing something that was kept under pressure, this liquid or liquefied Gas is stored under pressure and that explains why these boxes are so heavy. Granite tends to be less corrosive and a polished Granite even less corrosive as the surface area that comes in contact is minimized. Extremely fine polish is a necessity to avoid corrosion. Brian, i'm inspired by your videos. Do you think what i wrote here is a possibility?
Brien Foerster you have a couple video that shows ''burned'' rocks, layers of discoloration and such..... I had a theory that i wanted to see if its plausible: Lets say the pyramids were energy machines, lets say something went terribly wrong and its probably exploded or in a different way, radiated the whole plateau area in Egypt. My theory is probably already been looked at, but i believe that, by looking at the direction the burning marks are coming from, could we pin point out a starting point of the explosion? Most would say those burnt marks or from the sun plasma erruption, but that is a long shot imo. thanks! your video are AWESOME, i am watching every single video you release, so good :) keep it up!
Thanks again Ben, your content is brilliant. Keep it coming! In mechanical engineering manufacture, we build cast metal parts. We regularly have to do some post casting excavation work by removing casting defects in the same manner as in these boxes. We remove the crack or indication in its entirety in order to mitigate the possibility of propagation of the crack. What is interesting is, we do this for components that are subject to stress/pressure/VIBRATION! For parts that are decorative in nature or perform none of these functions I just listed, we don't bother excavating, because without any forces, we don't expect the cracks to propagate. To conclude, it seems to me that their was indeed a function for these boxes and they were clearly subject to forces that could propagate cracking.
UnchartedX is undoubted best channel for these in-depth documentaries on ancient artifacts and the technology behind them, and this was the BEST of them! Thanks for creating and publishing this.
Good vid. I was lucky to get in the Serapeum in October 2017 with just me a guide and guard. Seeing the sarcophagi up close made the mystery even more amazing.
You're doing an excellent job with your site. The quality of all your photography, the extra time you take looking into things. Striving for excellence lends more credence to you and your site. It only took me 10 minutes to subscribe as I was watching your video of "hole saws". Great job!
The liquid polishing presentation, on this video is excellent! The forensic evidence of liquid polishing is explained, filmed, and presented, in a most compelling way. You stuck to the facts of the case, and they speak for themselves. Good work here!!
Hello Ben, great video! I've learned things from watching it. I never knew they had scooped out the cracked areas to prevent further cracking. That sounds logical. Modern day example would be when you get a crack on a vehicle's windshield from a road debris striking it. They recommend that a windshield repairer apply a glue adhesive to it as soon as possible before the crack grows longer and longer to a point that a windshield replacement is the only recourse. Cracks in materials will only become worse with time unless addressed right away. It also makes sense that they were more concerned about function over cosmetic appearance, even though they still polished it as best they could for aesthetic appeal and as a preservative. When dealing with a huge multi-ton stone block, it's better to salvage it with minor repairs if possible than having to scrap the entire project. The liquid drip remains you shown us does indicate using a liquid polishing technique. The very crude hieroglyphics does look like someone scratched it on later after finding it, rather than the master builders that created it. Egyptian Pharaohs were notorious for placing their cartouches and hieroglyphics on things created by someone else from a past time, and then claiming it as their own. It's like if I should stamp my name on the Washington Monument after an apocalypse, then some later discoverer upon seeing it therefore thinks I had built it. I'm glad there are intelligent people like you visiting and studying these amazing ancient sites and thinking out of the box to figure out how these things were actually constructed, instead of merely allowing the academics to spoon feed us whatever they want us to believe. I'm now a new subscriber. Thanks for the educational video and your other ones as well.
Yeah it's a similar process to remedying metal fatigue cracks, in say aircraft structural components, by polishing out any stress faults/cracks identified by microscopy/spectroscopy to prevent a linear fracture developing.
Maybe polishing was not cosmetic at all, but a byproduct of the “working boxes”, whatever their purpose/function. You seem “sold” on the idea that the polish is for looks. Unlikely inthink
Wow, some alchemical polish that lasts for thousands of years! And the anti-cracking and facet research was awesome, further proving these boxes had a mysterious function. Nice work!
Hi Ben. There isn't enough gratitude in the world to express how thankful I am for your work. Please don't stop. I am so hooked I'm afraid that the grief would kill me. But, and there is always a but, the reasons given for the scooping of the material away from the structure just doesn't hit me as logical. If a crack can be scooped out of a surface it seems to me that the crack was finite to begin with and the scooping was unnecessary, at least for the purpose that has been put forward. Think about it. You see a crack and in order to improve the resilience of the material you scoop out the surrounding material until there is no longer evidence of a crack. What part of the scooping stopped the crack? I cannot think for a moment what part of the act of scooping out a crack stopped further cracking. If no scooping had been done, the crack would not have progressed any further because the crack was finite to begin with. When scooping did occure the only thing that was gained was that the terminus of the crack was discovered. Just sayin. Dave Lowa
This is the most informative presentation of these objects I have seen. All this information you have presented which I haven't seen before, unfortunately makes them even more inexplicable!
flamencoprof the way things were left inside. Seemed unfinished,maybe a meteor blast in the atmosphere or sun blast of some kind.. something strong and quick, devastating everyone. The people of ignorance was us watching them do things with stone and fly about in ships.. We saw it ,totally misunderstood it... technology that we witnessed . We worshipped them, as they taught us, then they left or died off... we keep doing stupid shit to make them come back, offerings, chanting, rituals. Forced everyone to do certain things,at certain times.. like now.. a 12 month circle of religious rituals , always saying they will be back. Maybe they never left , but found a good hiding place from us. Being free, means you fear no one or nothing. Religion is mostly fear, and bow down nonsense. Give up some freedom, take on some suffering. It’s all so nuts.. Your born in a free society and you end up brain washed from a child to fear this thing, you can see or sit down with, have a beer. @this just in”” “No red meat on Fridays”? They just pull shit from there ass, and the sheep , say ahhhh ok ... but why””? You must make yourself just do as I say or it’s bad? To who? To what? Shut up and do it or your bad...!! Huh? Sorry so weird ! I’m near 60... Got a belly full of church and just ended it in 1978, Joined military in 1980. The army infantry, I never seen much or many that went to church back then. It always struck me funny how the Germans and Americans that fought ww2 both thought the bogeyman was on there side... Japan’s king.. was a living god, die for it was top choice. The enemy of freedom from it. We live here, and people grow up and still give away some freedom for a mythical magical flying white dude. When it all began by miss identifying technology as magical beings..
@@riceburnerbiker1483 So you think religions are just a more sophisticated "Cargo Cult"? Personally I'm a Naturalist. I think everything has a natural explanation, and it's up to others to prove their supernatural claims. Wikipedia has 9 page-downs on the entry for "God". Seems to me such a supernatural being would have managed to make itself's existence more clear over the last 10,00 years or so!
Although the igneous rock of these boxes is made of crystals, the gross body of rock is not itself "crystalline." The mineral crystals that make up rock like granite and diorite are small and not aligned with each other. They grew in-situ when the igneous material cooled to a solid and their growth was limited by bumping into the other crystals growing around them. So the gross rock is composed of small, interlocked crystals. This gives this material toughness, because there are no planes along which the gross rock will fracture. In this regard, it's like carbon fiber in a resin. This is different from single crystals (with large-scale repetition of a homogeneous molecular structure) that have planes along which molecular bonds are substantially lower in strength (low-energy bonds) than other planes in the structure, creating fracture planes. Planes along which the bonds are stronger (higher-energy bonds) do not fracture easily. The gross rock of the boxes does not have large-scale fracture planes, even though the very small-scale crystals of which it is composed all have such planes. But because they are not aligned with each other, fractures in one crystal are unlikely to propagate through the rock along a single plane, causing fractures to wander like the cracks seen in the boxes, because there are no large-scale fracture planes to follow.
That implies that some seriously violent & powerful forces created the cracks in the granite. Maybe they were all "perfect" once but "using" them created forces that eventually caused small & even bigger cracks/fractures. And scoping out the cracks was done to maintain structural integrity and being essential repairs to maintain the function of the boxes.
@@AncientHistoryCriticisms One of the best mysteries. I also liked seeing Abu Sir again. I had kind of forgot the amazing stonework in some of those re-purposed structures. And I was wondering what animal mummy offerings were left in those little niches near that one huge sarcophagus.
What I always wanted to ask is there any evidence at all of a lost structure being above the Serapeum? I have read conflicting reports and the longer ya stare at Google Earth you start seeing anything you want to see. But there is some faint walls seen near the entrance. But what era do they come from? Ben?
@@cfapps7865 Great thoughts Chuck. Also Yousef shows a small crawlspace tunnel in the back corner of the Serapeum. They obscure the opening with rocks, but Yousef removes them and the camera shows the small tunnel goes on for a while and out of sight. I really wonder if there isn't still more to the Serapeum waiting to be discovered.
@cfapps7865 Sorry I missed this comment Chuck! been a really busy couple of weeks for me with spring kicking off, lots of farm stuff to do. They classify the Serapeum as middle kingdom, based solely on the writings, some of which may have come from the greek roman time. There is another entrance near the serapeum entrance that leads to the 'lesser galleries'. I don't know about any above ground structures right near the entrance, I haven't really looked into that aspect of it...
This is an amazing docuseries. I highly recommend checking out the first 3 parts before watching this part. Brilliant as always Ben. Can’t wait for final part.
@@kevinhickey2617 Unfortunately, I don’t know how either, but I do know how they couldn’t take it. Not on mountains, valleys, swamps.It would be easiest in the air. Occam's razor (wikipedia). I’m sorry that humanity has to face incredible things sometimes. "Eppur si muove" "And yet the Earth is moving," Gallileo told the Pope, nor did he want to believe it. If the Earth can move, so can the stones.
@@sakkmatt that is true. The easiest route would be in the air. The fact that the boxes are where they are means that something very special happened to get them there. And something equally as special happened to carve them in to what we see today.
Such an amazing builds. Massive perfect granite boxes from the far past. Just astonishing. I hope we will unravel more of it's mysteries soon. Not sure if we can trust the world for such amazing discoveries regarding particular knowledge though. Trust the process .. Thank you.
Your explanation of these videos really amplify what we're seeing. It brings to light what may be overlooked to some. I've heard from other sources about "softening liquids" making easier to cut stone.
It appears now that we stop calling ourselves "Advanced Civilization" and start calling ourselves "in the process of understanding Advanced Civilization"
sundar iyengar I feel we graham hancocks term “ we are a civilization with amnesia “ is perfect . We may Of forgotten due to the trauma. Or been forced to forget by design of a few for leverage over many ? Regardless of which the truth is the only way we will ever come together and move forward as Humans .

@@MrAchile13 Thank you for the link. I've also been viewing fascinating videos by Mr. Mohan Praveen about amazing architectural sites all over India. You may already know, Standing in the Qutb Mosque complex at Mehrauli in Delhi, there is an Iron Pillar placed there at least two-and-a-half millennia in the past. It has a patina of rust, but has a stable surface, as though the rust protects it the same way aluminum forms a seal when its surface oxidizes. The pillar is over seven meters high, and half a meter in diameter at the base. It’s one of several Iron pillars from antiquity. There are also forts and temples throughout India that show the same megalithic multi-ton interlocking polygonal wall construction we see in Peru, Malta, Okinawa, The Cyclopean walls in sight of the Acropolis in Athens, the Base of the Emperor’s Palace in Tokyo, ruins of the ancient Hittite capital in Turkey, and even on the allegedly isolated EASTER ISLAND. I’m wondering if we can really rely on the dating the academics give for a host of relics around the world.
I've been studying Egyptology since I was 11. This is the first time I've heard about highly pollished surfaces there and as a chemical process to boot. I'm glad that people like you are finally bringing the truth to light. And yes, I want to know what's under the paws of the Sphynx.
One piece of gleened info i gained recently is that that highly polished steel is much more resilient to corrosion from moisture than unpolished. This would seem to be true of stone. Those boxes were polished to stand the test of time against corrosion. I believe that can be taken as the reason those boxes were polished.
But if they are buried then no erosion or corrosion can occur! Corrosion is a chemical process, erosion is natural! 😁 metals are attacked by acids or/and oxygen ! Stone is unreactive to oxygen... and you could pour acid on it til you ran out and wouldn't make a dent ! 😁
I remember when I was helping to build the pyramids 3,843 years ago as a labor boy. I was tasked to retrieve oils from the fish and fats from all the animals that feed the thousands of builders. Needless to say there were ALOT of fats. They would pour liquid fats and burn the granite and polish with the leather from the cows. Their were many others that would transport vinegar in thousands of vases as well that were poured on heated granite to be able to quickly cool it and be able to work it. The vinegar had a chemical reaction with the calcium in the granite so it broke quite easily afterwards. I even tried to take pictures back then but they thought I was crazy that a glass tablet in your hand could store millions of pictures on it and when I told them you could also talk to anyone anywhere it the world on it they said 'off with my head' and I don't remember much after that cause it got pretty dark and cold. Luckily I was reincarnated again so I could tell you all the great and many wonders I had. And just so you know, The pyramids were NOT tombs so please stop saying that. Also, not all secrets have been found or told to you yet. I will tell you of one of them; there is a path that leads to the Great Pyramid you call. What you don't know is what lies beneath that path. The answer to what you seek lies beneath the path you wreak upon.
When I was a kid I saw a old man polishing a stone slab with honey, water, and I think it smelled like vinegar, but he had some Swede leather, and some leather, thick like a razerstrap , some red sand and some white chalk, and was rubbing it on the stone slab, it looked like it was getting shiny, I ask him if he was doing it for fun, he just laughed, I was around 9 years old then, somewhere down in the Carolinas, this video makes me think of that.
Brings to mind the old adage "Land of milk and honey" which then makes me think of milk of magnesia which then makes me think of chalk... Maybe? Just a thought ;)
Wow. Ben. I rewatched this and to think you were under 1000 subscribers as you state it this video. Congrats. Keep this up. The technological analytics of the ancient world is certainly the way to escape the dogma that has entrenched this area
You probably had the best guide in Gizeh. The most interesting things about the plateau i heard from Yousef Awyan and his wise father,who had the site as a playground while growing up. The Serapeum seems to be the most ancient site. Why is that some sarkophage seem to be kinda exploded due to pressure inside? The more information you gain,the more questions arise...
I think Ben you have effectively raised some very solid points with this series. Academia will not attempt to explain their thesis in relation to these anomalous boxes. So it makes me happy that you share & open the closed "historical murder" files that are peddled as historical fact. Well done, very well done.
I really appreciate all you do Ben !! Thank you I'm fascinated ! when I look at the footage you have shot of the serapeum I can't help but think of a funeral home showroom , what if this was the case . as well as the location where they were finished and decorated ? I imagine wealthy nobles coming to this beautiful place and asking for a certain model and kind of decoration . The technology to achieve this is obviously far more advanced than anyone ever considered . Thank you again!
The Serapeum boxes are like molds for something unknown.. because the technique of internal accuracy is more than the accuracy of the external parties, despite the brilliant polishing that resembles (mirror)... and the strangest thing is that whenever something is revealed regarding the technique (cutting - polishing - moving - pulling), etc. ... we encounter the strangeness of doing that within the laws of physics in our current era.. and to be more frank and without any influence from any opinion that has been put forward ... there is something very important.. which is (there is a connection of some kind between a pantheon of gods Egyptian creation and strange-shaped creatures (closer to aliens) and written in one of the forgotten writings and hieroglyphs of one of the priestesses of the goddess (Hathor) .. Thank you for your efforts, Mr. BEN
My question is.. what happened to the genius that was Egypt... I can say this... It's been my experience as a contractor working for high end professionals... And I've found most have utterly no idea how I complete my tasks... In laymen terms... They don't know the ass end of a hammer... So how is it the Egyptology who are academics and I'm sure never worked in the trades... How can they make their ascertains on how the ancient Egyptians constructed and created these marvels of the ancient world... Just a Thought...
I agree. And it's just mind boggling that those same academics are the sole '"experts" and "authorities" regarding these ancient sites. Not only in Egypt, but all over the world. What happened?!? Has the world gone insane?!? Or was it never sane to start with. Lol. 😅
most of the academic believe systems are based around career , witch started long long ago in the time that everything had to fit within the time frame of the bible, they don't care a bout facts that can damage a career.
@@williamsshane21 You know... I have often wondered why they haven't reconstructed just one of these ancient sites and restored it to its former glory.. I mean they were destroyed by modern man and quarried for their stone.. and there was nothing natural about their deterioration.. So why not restore a site like Luxor... Could you imagine the interest that would draw??? Or better yet just restore the facing of just one of the pyramids... OMG... That would garner the attention of the whole world... But I think they could reface a pyramid... I think it would take the greatest minds of the world to even come close to how they would do it mechanically... just a thought...
17:01 Another "bedframe" style lid. These will be the focus of my next Pandora's Boxes video. This location shows you two distinct variations: The shallow squared-off ends that match the height of the rounded portion, and then the taller box has a lid where the squared-off ends are taller than the rounded portion. So much to discuss about these boxes...
@@shermanatorosborn9688 uploading a short video in the morning. Dan and i found two sites with nubs on column segments. Very rare occurance. Perhaps implying geopolymer/concrete.
@@AncientHistoryCriticisms yes two totally different polymers ... I think it's the same guy that famously made the same claim about the pyramid's limestone blocks. I fervently believe the majority of blocks are cut and that they were moved . I do think they could rearrange molecules and smelt ore , making alloys and polymers.
Look up “Ager” stone sealer/darkened. Something like this maybe with a acidic property to bring a high finish to those granite boxes. I have worked in the marble and granite industry for 14 years and my father and grandfather. So third generation lol weird to say that. But anyways I watch all your videos, and sometimes on your close ups I see things that are strikingly close to how we would work a piece of rock. Like the polished surface on those boxes, man I could examine those for weeks looking for info like a damn detective!!! Great work buddy keep it up and could you do more extreme close ups on the surface of the stone worked surface for people like me thanks again.
@@silentonall the polish isn't a coating, polishing or buffing something makes the material itself so flat it shines. This could last millennia underground in a desert where theres no weathering from wind or water. Honestly you could buff rock with a mix of oil and sand, finer and finer grit like another dude said and then a cloth soaked in vinegar for the final finish. No amazing tech necessary if you want to see this just go to a graveyard look at the stonework there. Sure we do it faster with power tools but remember that back then there were more people around so a few guys could make one of these in a year.
i thought that too, notice none of the chips/damage caused by the lid being forced open in antiquity have grown in size or developed cracks because they weren't scooped out
Hi Ben...you rock! Your presentations are so beautifully thorough...I love it! Keep them coming. We humans need to learn more of what our lost ancient past really was and folks like you spreading the word and the enthusiasm are making a huge difference. Yay Science! I'll certainly be tipping my server! Thanks, man!
Egypt is only one of the ultimate wonders of our world. Unfortunately we can only imagine the finds at other much older and complex sites located on other continents. Many of which have been closed or brushed aside by government and mainstream. I truly appreciate your work, but let us never forget there is so much more to our past than just the sands of Egypt.
So many things are closed off or pooh-poohed....Gunung Padang is 'on hold' in Indonesia, in Russia the Denisova Cave in the Altais might as well be the moon, zero scienitific interest in challenging the mainstream view on Ural Mountains megaliths. New Zealand: forget about challenging the MS narrative, despite what the Maori themselves say. Nan Madol: It seems we'll never get to see whats going on off the coast in deep water. Cool recent things: More info coming out about the 'terra preta' Amazon garden theory idea, with MS pushing back the dates for agriculture in the Amazon to near-Bering Strait range (LOL!), and Hugh Newman's latest vids from Utah are pretty cool!
@@adamrawn2063 there was a program on 'telly' about 5 years ago that,had the theory that the whole of the Amazon has been resurfaced by man. Basically its thought 'they' gardened it,used the areas, then moved to another once all that could be used, was used then
Again you have shown and talked about things I hever heard of. This liquid polish idea is really interesting. More like a varnish by the details described.
Solid work, Ben! This video highlights so many questions that have never been touched upon that should be and your conclusions hold strong compared to what we're told by the MSM. Awesome work! I'm so envious of your exploration, best of luck!
Hi Ben, amazing work on these mysterious works of art, whatever their purpose. I've just been over to your website and made a paypal gift to help you continue your research. Others should also consider supporting Ben as this is a mystery that shows history lessons taught around the world are based on old fashioned practices, not modern research.
Harmonics - This is why a cracked box cannot even be fixed or patched. look into it further and you will find the boxes are harmonic shapes, that release sound energy. It is the harmonics that ran the drills and polishing also. By the way, there are already many scholars, who claim this and have multitudes of videos on You Tube. MegalithomaniaUK channel is a good one, but he also gets a bit "out there", as well. Still worth a look.
there was a researcher on Megalithomania who was actually a qualified acoustical engineer who analyzed the so-called Passage Tombs who was absolutely fascinating but as far as I can find he only did the ONE video, I don't remember his name but compelling stuff.
To me it’s obvious primitive people did NOT make this. I saw an interesting video about the possibility that ancient people in Peru were using some kind of mixture (a plant I think) to pour on rocks to carve them easier. I thought that was interesting. Thank you for taking the time to care about our past.
Nah mate, they used the same stone melting tech we see in old kingdom Egypt as well. It was most likely made with a sonic device that altered the frequency of the stone making it like putty. Then it was easily worked with other tools or set into casts.
Chat GPT answers about the tech use of a granite box: "A granite box, being a solid and durable material, can have various technological uses depending on its size, shape, and design. Here are a few potential applications: 1. Electronics Enclosure: Granite has excellent heat resistance and can provide a stable and protective environment for sensitive electronic components. It can be used to create enclosures for high-temperature or high-vibration environments, such as industrial equipment or military electronics. 2. Radiation Shielding: Granite has natural radiation-blocking properties due to its composition. It can be employed as a shielding material in applications where protection from radiation is necessary, such as in medical facilities or nuclear power plants. 3. Precision Instrument Housing: The stability and low vibration transmission of granite make it suitable for housing precision instruments that require a stable environment, such as optical devices, spectroscopy equipment, or laser systems. The material's inertness and resistance to temperature changes help maintain accuracy and reliability. 4. Calibration Standards: Due to its dimensional stability and resistance to wear, granite is often used as a reference material for calibration standards. It can provide a reliable and consistent surface for calibrating measurement devices, including coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) or optical comparators. 5. Decorative or Architectural Applications: While not purely technological, granite boxes can serve aesthetic and functional purposes in architecture and interior design. They can be used as decorative elements, planters, or even as part of a structure to provide a visually appealing and durable solution. (...)"
Interesting liquid polish concept. This would be a great way to start a n attempted reverse engineering series. I see in the comments a bunch of trade workers have weighed in.
Great job again Ben. I have to agree with Yousef, it looks like they were "emptying" the cracks, removing the structural imperfections of the stones. The shape of the largest box is different than the others, so I am not sure if saying it was "unfinished" is correct. The lid shape looks finished, and matches other finished lids we see at other sites. I think that was the finished box, but perhaps it cracked from usage? I do admit it may have become damaged during construction and put in the farthest antechamber to "get it out of the way". The unique lid shape makes me think that box was a different feature of the site. The other similar boxes may have been for the same or similar functions, but perhaps the largest box performed a different function than the rest? I imagine that when it cracked, taking it back outside was too much work, so instead they made an antechamber to store it? Thanks as always, this is the best footage of the site.
Hey AWESOME VIDEO, just wanted to say thanks and i hit the like to help you out. You are doing a great job on your videos well thought out, precisely and clearly presented. One of the better channel's on you tube. Thanks again for all your work
The scooping of the granite to remove cracks is very interesting, and is practiced to this day in the manufacture of typically aerospace grade components, whereas cracks or imperfections that are identified thru non destructive testing inspections can be routed out and then deemed acceptable once the latent defect has been removed. So why implement a level of quality control on an object that had no functional purpose?
religious people, folks that are to dumb to understand this (i know these are the same kind of people) , archaeologist in general hate facts (they rather suck on their thumb and come up with some utter bullshit) and so on.
Come on, that's not fair. He shows us the guide speaking. He never gives the impression that these are his own novel, proprietary ideas.. He's a proponent of the theory who encourages others to agree with him; and that's a good thing! We should be more community minded if we ever want to bring pressure on mainstream archaeology to open up their minds a bit.
It’s obvious my own speculation but could they have made like a silica powder then added it to something making a almost molecular fluid to fill in the small spaces. Almost like a crystal turtle wax?
Its probably a type of long lasting resin, like the ones we use to finish wood. Im guessing it was used as a final layer of insulation for the capacitors inside.
This was my thinking too. They have plenty of silica around and I've seen some papers that they used phosphoric acid as a preservative. Silica can be dissolved in phosphoric acid. Paint on polish and repeat until smooth. Who knows though, there are a lot more people with more knowledge of this stuff looking at it, surly they would have thought this a possibility already?
@@AustinKoleCarlisle Then again, isn't forgiveness easier than permission? Perhaps someone should just surreptitiously take a quick little scrape for a mass spec machine to read?
Mainstream quackademia will never do that as they are too entrenched in their own narrative to care about finding the truth. It has to be one of us, the independent researchers, truth seekers that subscribe to no institution nor care about some academic reputation. it has to be a person that has the means and the will to go beyond regulations and simply do it, then share with us on YT :D. That day is coming close, my frend, as the awakening is at hand.
I can't believe polishing a box is that big of a deal. Not easy just labor intensive. Polishing a granite box is like color sanding and polishing a car. After painting a car, you sand down by hand the textured painted surface smooth with like a 400 or 600 grit sandpaper and work your way down to a #5000 finer grit sandpaper. After sanding down the car's paint surface down smooth with the finest #5000 grit sand paper you can often hand polish the paint with a fine abrasive liquid & towel or even use a rotary buffing machine with a very fine liquid abrasive. After the car has been color sanded and polished you can seal the paint with a glaze or a wax to protect it from the sun, rain and pollution. If done properly you will have a very shiney and almost mirror like finish.
Yes....same here, and it was said there is a layer to the coating... But...what I would like to know if any chemical analysis was conducted on this layer? And those bore holes and saw cuts, is there any written record of these being seen centuries ago?...such as the reports or letters of the well heeled "grand tour" personalities of the mid to late 18th centuries...this would prove that they were done prior to our modern technology being available.
What if the polish of the boxes isn’t a preparation made by their builders, but a RESULT of the function they served? We know the hieroglyphic inscriptions on the boxes were likely added by the later, less advanced Egyptians evidenced by the tools that must have been used to inscribe them, the level of precision pales in comparison to the that used to cut the stone for the blocks, as argued by egyptologists such as Brian Forster. Knowing this, whos to say the builders would care to polish the boxes if it didn’t serve a function? Especially when you consider the scoops taken out of the boxes that show a disregard for superficialities.
i thought that too, but if its a result of the function, and we see the polish on the inside of the boxes, why wouldnt we see it on the underside of the lid too?
I thought that too, but then I realized the "polish" as we see it for "beauty" might actually serve the purpose of preservation throughout the ages and for whatever purpose it was to be used. The liquid itself acting as a bonding agent to fortify the box. Being shiny may not be the intention of the builders, but the result of this liquid bonding agent. The question is what compounds or chemicals did they use and what process did they use to get it to penetrate the outer layer? One thing I can say for sure is the boxes were built for durability and to withstand some kind of pressure or process.
Tracy Phillips cue the chemical Electricity generator theory ? Ox bones and gains and lye . A few have speculated this . Wonder what evidence there has been to support it .
Thoroughly enjoyed, your well written, well articulated videos! I agree- there needs to be more investigation into the mystery of these ancient creations! Who, how, and what made them, how were they quarried, moved and put under the ground and more importantly, why??
Seeing the size and weight of those boxes and then hearing the guy say they were meant for function and not decoration is like the start of a horror movie
It's about time that someone produced a well thought out (mini) documentary. I give it high marks. I also appreciated having some degree of intelligence demonstrated by the narrator,...All in all,....job well done ! Now, if only other's would see this and learn from it, and those who produce documentaries and/or lectures on such subjects,....if they could grasp "what is needed to attract the right audience" then, well,......I think you understand my point. Well done,....Hope to see more like this,.....only let it run straight through, with some length to it. Keep up the great work fellas,.....raising the bar somewhat. Peace.
I think when Ancient Architects did his edit on this he mentioned, that a drawing was made in the 1800's ? when they first found the boxes, the drawing showed many stones piled on top of one of the lids - that's a big clue.
When I worked at a stone masons we used Zinc oxide powder for the final polish. It was applied mixed with water via sheep skin pads and would easily go into the cavities that you show. The liquid is like a silicone. Some rather simple tests would give good results if samples could be taken.
I'm not an expert but it seems like if they were meant to resonate based on there crystalline composition there dimensions should be related to that resonance very precisely as well.
@UnchartedX Dear Ben, I think that the shapes on the wall at 2:38 and 5:08 are rather interesting. Like the nobs we see on megalithic sites, these are present all around the world, at places like Petra or the Longmen grottoes. And it's interesting we see them around an unfinished box, because I think they are calibration marks from the machine that was working on it. And knowing how precise the boxes are, I think we are not talking about a handheld devices, but rather automated ones.
Excellent video. Why not take a secret sample of the 'surface liquid' and send it to a lab. If the liquid penetrated into the granite for around 1mm it must be something very strange...
Gary Wheeler - of course there will be no liquid left but the molecular structure of the smoothed granite may give chemists an indication of what chemical process has transpired even if it's thousands of years ago
Some of those scoops are absolutely unervingly perfect, like if you scoop ice cream has a relatively frozen ice cream cube. The engineering is actually insane.
Yes we do have the tech to do all of this, been fixing ,designing and building stuff to do this for 60 years and I'm 73yrs. old. Yah I started young, thanks to my grand father and my dad.
i polish granite, and i can say a mirror finish is exactly what you achieve on some granites they also use tin oxide to chemically vitrify the granitewhile you polish it... walk through a cemetery... we do this with grinders but it was done by hand originally... my belief my trade was born in egypt
Re-watching all your videos again. Leaving a comment this time. I am a patron of yours. 'DavekliTepe' and the picture of a bee covered in pollen (Mr. Natural). Anyway enough about that. Thank you again for your dedication and research. Thanks to Brien and Chris and Jimmy, etc. You stand out though, in my opinion. Because I was following you first and the others fell into place like cards in a deck. I have a literal boatload (or Byblos) of downloaded pdf books and notes to study and peruse. Thank you for the amazing journeys. Top shelf. Cheers, mate. (I'm not Australian, but, my late, great wife was).
Could you please do a follow up on this? Thank you for for all you're hard work, you are truly a hero getting this footage and evidence out to the world.
it's the same way Michelangelo polished his marble statues. it's one thing everyone over looks but is actually the simplest technique. they do it in woodworking sometimes, when finishing a wood turning on the lathe you pick up a handful of shavings and hold them on the surface while the piece is turning and it smooths it out. the BEST material to sand or polish a surface you are working on is the SAME material you are trying to polish!!! it has the same hardness so they will wear down at the same time and produce a smoother surface. they likely already had some fairly flat granite "polishing" stones prepared in advance for this. take some already ground up and fine dust/powder, mix it into a slurry with water or oil(which at the time would have likely been olive oil or palm tree oil) and you have the perfect material mix for polishing to a finish that by today's standards is near impossible with our tools because the materials are of vastly different hardness. i have the same answer for all those ancient civilizations where the archaeologists can't figure out HOW they carved this extremely hard stone... well the only thing of that hardness they had to work with WAS THAT STONE!!! break off chunks of it, rub it against the same stone until you create the tool needed... they both wear down at similar rates so it maintains a nice smooth surface and there's little finishing to be done. can also make a crude polishing tool by taking a flat piece of wood and embedding the polishing material onto it, it's not going to last as long but it's also a potential technique they used BUT that also leaves open the question of how did they manage to get a piece of wood to that kind of uniform flatness? it's more likely that they used the stone and slurry mixture.
Notice how this logical and well informed post didnt get a heart from the creator like these stupid fuckers talking about lost polishing technologies? It's almost like stupidity and fantasy are being encouraged more than observation and logic in certain places.
While not necessarily wrong, it’s a logical and well thought out explanation that doesn’t address how the scooped areas were polished nor does it address what appears to be liquid runs on the underside that created the same degree of polish. I would think this explanation could more aptly be applied to the penultimate finishing step that still shows the roughness. Seems like a liquid coating was used rather than polish which means it’s still there and can be sampled and analyzed.
@@nostromo526 it's likely lacquer, a weather proof coating that is made from ground up insects. though in an environment like that where most of these are hermetically sealed it could as easily be wax. you can't maintain the level of farming they did on the scale they did without the help of bees!
@@camojoe83 did you see the divets in those boxes?? He didn't heart it because although common sense it's ridiculous to say they polished these boxes with gravel. You can't hollow out stone with the same stone. You'd be there for years trying to replicate that! Sounds like some egyptology nonsense. Yeah they carved that giant obelisk in Aswan quarry with rock boulders too, right? GTFOH
how did they get the inside surfaces within a few thousandths of an inch from perfectly flat? how did they get the inside corners of the boxes perfectly square? how did they do this after the fact evidenced by the giant unfinished stone box in the hallway?

Excellent work! The fact that they hollowed out the cracks in the granit, pretty much confirm it was meant to be a functionnal device.
These "boxes" are amazing masterpieces of ancient time, absolutely incredible.
Thanks for sharing, it's really appreciated.
nonsense, these are bull sarcophagi! lol
Aesthetic is a function... Try selling a decorative object that is not visually pleasant.
Ancient waterjet perhaps
Some kind of resonating chamber Perhaps
@@thebitsanpiecesman4423 It very well could be. The importance of sound, vibrations & frequencies is definitely a common theme found all over the ancient world.
Mr, Benjamin, the most articulate man on this subject... Thank you.
One of the best on the platform too, by far
It’s like whatever liquid they used almost strengthened the stone as well.
This idea of liquid polishing I find to be the most interesting out of everything and it is absolutely mind boggling that these things aren’t studied further.
Makes you feel like they have these answers and don’t want to release them, as this was a way to run electricity for entire cities for free.
Thanks for all your work, love your channel.
That’s a great point, really interesting.
I think it was some kind of resonating chamber. But definitely it had to do with power supply
@@thebitsanpiecesman4423 yea i totally agree
You set out the facts then let it sink in,brilliantly done to reach as many interested people that want to think for themselves.i hated history lessons at school but now I can't get enough,especially after watching your programs,you're doing a brilliant job and deserve more recognition as someone that puts opinion in others hands and let's others carry the word forth. Keep it up Ben,people need educated,properly educated.
I was watching a talk by Brian Forester and he said he actually got inside one of these boxes and tried out different sounds and the ONLY sound that did something was the "ohm" sound. He said when he did that the box literally VIBRATED. Fascinating.
@Joshua Lambert I'm sorry I have no idea which one it is! And I tried going back through my history but he has so many and I've seen almost all of them so that didn't help at all. Search his name and serapeum and it's one of those. On the plus side, all of his videos are pretty interesting lol
@Joshua Lambert being an archeologist is my dream! After all of my kids are old enough to mostly take care of themselves I want to go back to school. I firmly believe there is so much more to find, and I want to help find it lol.
@Joshua Lambert just reading that pisses me off! Why can't the older generation of archeologists just accept that what they learned in school is wrong and that there is so much more out there?! And I know it all comes down to the narrative "They" want us to know, but it just makes me so mad that they try so hard to hide our history from us. Lol can you tell you hit a nerve?
@Joshua Lambert I'm sorry that happened to you. Alot of colleges these days are pretty pointless unless you want to learn hate. But I'm glad you're getting back into it. If we don't learn where we came from we're bound to repeat the same mistakes. And I'm pretty sure that's what "They" want.
This video was so interesting, I’m 40 years old & just learned what Faceting is from these guys.😮
I've been watching these videos for many years and I have to say you're wording and presentation is excellent Ben. Another great channel to start shifting people's minds from the nonsense were taught. Great channel
Yousef should have his own channel. He appears in many channels and source of important information
Yea,I agree, he's good.
Just found this channel. I’m addicted. Thank you for researching and presenting in such a professional manner!
I do enjoy the multichannel and interview episodes but these more documentary style episodes are the best thing on the interweb in this subject by far.
Great insights Ben!
'Primitive People' to paraphrase an old movie, we keep using this word, 'primitive'...I do not think it means what we think it means....The 'Primitive' ancients seem to have had acoustical & resonance technologies beyond ours. The 'primitive' ancients seem to have had advanced ability to control the molecular structure of stone using chemical, thermal, or acoustic means of some sort. I've been to a few sites myself, and of course a huge Megalithomaniac and I'm becoming convinced that we can actually say a few things about the ancient toolkit. A. There was a high-tech level tool that was rod or knife shaped that vibrated at an incredibly high rate that could literally destroy its way through dense stone like a knife. It left rough marks, but could leave curving, arcing cuts unexplainable as chisel marks such as in Longyou China B. There was a huge cutting disk or 'buzzsaw' like tool that was used by a civilization intermediate to the really hightech ancients which has left clear circular cutting marks. C. There was some means unknown to us that the Ancients had for literally changing the basic molecular structure of stone to a gelatinous state and back again, perhaps using unknown principles of acoustics, thermal devices, or some principle unknown to todays physics that was used by the really high-class high-tech civilization. D. Some type of TRUE geopolymerization was clearly used by the 'intermediate' Ancients. E. Boxes confined intense acoustic vibration, of air or other gases, produced by unknown means for unknown purposes, of the 'High' Ancients. F. Something was clearly plugged into or connected with stone objects or devices into openings left in ancient stones. Whether what was plugged in was metal, crystal, plastic, or wood is unknown but was not durable. Lots of exciting stuff going on now, Hawara Labyrinth in Egypt, Gunung Padang, etc but they so often hit snags of money, orthodoxy, and various nationalist & religious problems.
This is my Original idea and not from any book AFAIK, so happy to answer questions: Faceting helps avoid cracks in a box that is under pressure. Idea is to avoid 90 degree turns so the pressure is more widely distributed. These boxes were housing something that was kept under pressure, this liquid or liquefied Gas is stored under pressure and that explains why these boxes are so heavy.
Granite tends to be less corrosive and a polished Granite even less corrosive as the surface area that comes in contact is minimized. Extremely fine polish is a necessity to avoid corrosion. Brian, i'm inspired by your videos. Do you think what i wrote here is a possibility?
@ I thought the same.
Brien Foerster you have a couple video that shows ''burned'' rocks, layers of discoloration and such..... I had a theory that i wanted to see if its plausible: Lets say the pyramids were energy machines, lets say something went terribly wrong and its probably exploded or in a different way, radiated the whole plateau area in Egypt. My theory is probably already been looked at, but i believe that, by looking at the direction the burning marks are coming from, could we pin point out a starting point of the explosion? Most would say those burnt marks or from the sun plasma erruption, but that is a long shot imo. thanks! your video are AWESOME, i am watching every single video you release, so good :) keep it up!
Brien, you and Ben are fantastic! I love the way you accept that there was a civilisation of people who had unknown technology.
Thanks again Ben, your content is brilliant. Keep it coming! In mechanical engineering manufacture, we build cast metal parts. We regularly have to do some post casting excavation work by removing casting defects in the same manner as in these boxes. We remove the crack or indication in its entirety in order to mitigate the possibility of propagation of the crack. What is interesting is, we do this for components that are subject to stress/pressure/VIBRATION! For parts that are decorative in nature or perform none of these functions I just listed, we don't bother excavating, because without any forces, we don't expect the cracks to propagate. To conclude, it seems to me that their was indeed a function for these boxes and they were clearly subject to forces that could propagate cracking.
They definitely had some kind of high revolution power tools, this is machinery work
UnchartedX is undoubted best channel for these in-depth documentaries on ancient artifacts and the technology behind them, and this was the BEST of them! Thanks for creating and publishing this.
Good vid. I was lucky to get in the Serapeum in October 2017 with just me a guide and guard. Seeing the sarcophagi up close made the mystery even more amazing.
Incredible pieces. I hope to see them up close some day.

Please view Sacred Geometry Decoded for fair comparison 🙏.
The liquid polishing presentation, on this video is excellent! The forensic evidence of liquid polishing is explained, filmed, and presented, in a most compelling way. You stuck to the facts of the case, and they speak for themselves. Good work here!!
Love Yusef and his dad! Great Egyptian egyptologists!
Hello Ben, great video! I've learned things from watching it. I never knew they had scooped out the cracked areas to prevent further cracking. That sounds logical. Modern day example would be when you get a crack on a vehicle's windshield from a road debris striking it. They recommend that a windshield repairer apply a glue adhesive to it as soon as possible before the crack grows longer and longer to a point that a windshield replacement is the only recourse. Cracks in materials will only become worse with time unless addressed right away. It also makes sense that they were more concerned about function over cosmetic appearance, even though they still polished it as best they could for aesthetic appeal and as a preservative. When dealing with a huge multi-ton stone block, it's better to salvage it with minor repairs if possible than having to scrap the entire project. The liquid drip remains you shown us does indicate using a liquid polishing technique.
The very crude hieroglyphics does look like someone scratched it on later after finding it, rather than the master builders that created it. Egyptian Pharaohs were notorious for placing their cartouches and hieroglyphics on things created by someone else from a past time, and then claiming it as their own. It's like if I should stamp my name on the Washington Monument after an apocalypse, then some later discoverer upon seeing it therefore thinks I had built it.
I'm glad there are intelligent people like you visiting and studying these amazing ancient sites and thinking out of the box to figure out how these things were actually constructed, instead of merely allowing the academics to spoon feed us whatever they want us to believe. I'm now a new subscriber. Thanks for the educational video and your other ones as well.
thanks for the kind comment! I'm glad you find my work interesting :)
Yeah it's a similar process to remedying metal fatigue cracks, in say aircraft structural components, by polishing out any stress faults/cracks identified by microscopy/spectroscopy to prevent a linear fracture developing.
Maybe polishing was not cosmetic at all, but a byproduct of the “working boxes”, whatever their purpose/function. You seem “sold” on the idea that the polish is for looks. Unlikely inthink
Wow, some alchemical polish that lasts for thousands of years! And the anti-cracking and facet research was awesome, further proving these boxes had a mysterious function. Nice work!
Hi Ben. There isn't enough gratitude in the world to express how thankful I am for your work. Please don't stop. I am so hooked I'm afraid that the grief would kill me. But, and there is always a but, the reasons given for the scooping of the material away from the structure just doesn't hit me as logical. If a crack can be scooped out of a surface it seems to me that the crack was finite to begin with and the scooping was unnecessary, at least for the purpose that has been put forward. Think about it. You see a crack and in order to improve the resilience of the material you scoop out the surrounding material until there is no longer evidence of a crack. What part of the scooping stopped the crack? I cannot think for a moment what part of the act of scooping out a crack stopped further cracking. If no scooping had been done, the crack would not have progressed any further because the crack was finite to begin with. When scooping did occure the only thing that was gained was that the terminus of the crack was discovered. Just sayin.

@@riceburnerbiker1483 So you think religions are just a more sophisticated "Cargo Cult"?
Personally I'm a Naturalist. I think everything has a natural explanation, and it's up to others to prove their supernatural claims. Wikipedia has 9 page-downs on the entry for "God". Seems to me such a supernatural being would have managed to make itself's existence more clear over the last 10,00 years or so!
Although the igneous rock of these boxes is made of crystals, the gross body of rock is not itself "crystalline." The mineral crystals that make up rock like granite and diorite are small and not aligned with each other. They grew in-situ when the igneous material cooled to a solid and their growth was limited by bumping into the other crystals growing around them. So the gross rock is composed of small, interlocked crystals. This gives this material toughness, because there are no planes along which the gross rock will fracture. In this regard, it's like carbon fiber in a resin. This is different from single crystals (with large-scale repetition of a homogeneous molecular structure) that have planes along which molecular bonds are substantially lower in strength (low-energy bonds) than other planes in the structure, creating fracture planes. Planes along which the bonds are stronger (higher-energy bonds) do not fracture easily. The gross rock of the boxes does not have large-scale fracture planes, even though the very small-scale crystals of which it is composed all have such planes. But because they are not aligned with each other, fractures in one crystal are unlikely to propagate through the rock along a single plane, causing fractures to wander like the cracks seen in the boxes, because there are no large-scale fracture planes to follow.
Thanks for the explanation!
Great explanation!
Glad someone explained this
@@BaxterRoss How the Hell does not everyone know this? This is rock knowledge 101 for dummies
That implies that some seriously violent & powerful forces created the cracks in the granite. Maybe they were all "perfect" once but "using" them created forces that eventually caused small & even bigger cracks/fractures. And scoping out the cracks was done to maintain structural integrity and being essential repairs to maintain the function of the boxes.
I'm perplexed. So for that thanks.

@@AncientHistoryCriticisms One of the best mysteries. I also liked seeing Abu Sir again. I had kind of forgot the amazing stonework in some of those re-purposed structures. And I was wondering what animal mummy offerings were left in those little niches near that one huge sarcophagus.

But what era do they come from? Ben?
@@cfapps7865 Great thoughts Chuck. Also Yousef shows a small crawlspace tunnel in the back corner of the Serapeum.

@cfapps7865 Sorry I missed this comment Chuck! been a really busy couple of weeks for me with spring kicking off, lots of farm stuff to do. They classify the Serapeum as middle kingdom, based solely on the writings, some of which may have come from the greek roman time. There is another entrance near the serapeum entrance that leads to the 'lesser galleries'. I don't know about any above ground structures right near the entrance, I haven't really looked into that aspect of it...

Not sure I fully understand the question. Are you asking how did the stone boxes get there?
@@kevinhickey2617 Unfortunately, I don’t know how either, but I do know how they couldn’t take it. Not on mountains, valleys, swamps.It would be easiest in the air. Occam's razor (wikipedia). I’m sorry that humanity has to face incredible things sometimes. "Eppur si muove" "And yet the Earth is moving," Gallileo told the Pope, nor did he want to believe it. If the Earth can move, so can the stones.
@@sakkmatt that is true. The easiest route would be in the air. The fact that the boxes are where they are means that something very special happened to get them there. And something equally as special happened to carve them in to what we see today.
Great stuff, nice to have some close uip images of Egypt awakens surface in a head to head comparison to the older ones.
Such an amazing builds. Massive perfect granite boxes from the far past. Just astonishing. I hope we will unravel more of it's mysteries soon. Not sure if we can trust the world for such amazing discoveries regarding particular knowledge though. Trust the process .. Thank you.
Your explanation of these videos really amplify what we're seeing. It brings to light what may be overlooked to some. I've heard from other sources about "softening liquids" making easier to cut stone.
It appears now that we stop calling ourselves "Advanced Civilization" and start calling ourselves "in the process of understanding Advanced Civilization"
sundar iyengar I feel we graham hancocks term “ we are a civilization with amnesia “ is perfect . We may Of forgotten due to the trauma. Or been forced to forget by design of a few for leverage over many ? Regardless of which the truth is the only way we will ever come together and move forward as Humans .
I really believe we are living in a special time. So many awakenings happening around the world. The evidence keeps showing ancient high technology, the mainstream has to feel the shift

Hi dear,
I live in India (southern part)...
There is a old adage that says " what is known is a handful and what is unknown is ocean "..... We, from our childhood, are taught that... and learnt that....
Thank you...
@@MrAchile13 ...
Thanks... Not just the right angles, but chains, rolling ball inside stone sculptures and much more...
Pity is we don't have the skill and technology and call ourselves Advanced...
@@MrAchile13 Thank you for the link. I've also been viewing fascinating videos by Mr. Mohan Praveen about amazing architectural sites all over India.
You may already know, Standing in the Qutb Mosque complex at Mehrauli in Delhi, there is an Iron Pillar placed there at least two-and-a-half millennia in the past. It has a patina of rust, but has a stable surface, as though the rust protects it the same way aluminum forms a seal when its surface oxidizes. The pillar is over seven meters high, and half a meter in diameter at the base. It’s one of several Iron pillars from antiquity.
There are also forts and temples throughout India that show the same megalithic multi-ton interlocking polygonal wall construction we see in Peru, Malta, Okinawa, The Cyclopean walls in sight of the Acropolis in Athens, the Base of the Emperor’s Palace in Tokyo, ruins of the ancient Hittite capital in Turkey, and even on the allegedly isolated EASTER ISLAND. I’m wondering if we can really rely on the dating the academics give for a host of relics around the world.
I look forward to rocking the UnchartedX sweatshirt I purchased. I only support the best of all channels, this being number 1!
I've been studying Egyptology since I was 11. This is the first time I've heard about highly pollished surfaces there and as a chemical process to boot. I'm glad that people like you are finally bringing the truth to light.
And yes, I want to know what's under the paws of the Sphynx.
❤ great work
One piece of gleened info i gained recently is that that highly polished steel is much more resilient to corrosion from moisture than unpolished. This would seem to be true of stone. Those boxes were polished to stand the test of time against corrosion. I believe that can be taken as the reason those boxes were polished.
But if they are buried then no erosion or corrosion can occur! Corrosion is a chemical process, erosion is natural! 😁 metals are attacked by acids or/and oxygen ! Stone is unreactive to oxygen... and you could pour acid on it til you ran out and wouldn't make a dent ! 😁
Polish is perhaps a byproduct of the process in motion that the boxes were performing. Explains why insides are not polished, maybey
I remember when I was helping to build the pyramids 3,843 years ago as a labor boy. I was tasked to retrieve oils from the fish and fats from all the animals that feed the thousands of builders. Needless to say there were ALOT of fats. They would pour liquid fats and burn the granite and polish with the leather from the cows. Their were many others that would transport vinegar in thousands of vases as well that were poured on heated granite to be able to quickly cool it and be able to work it. The vinegar had a chemical reaction with the calcium in the granite so it broke quite easily afterwards. I even tried to take pictures back then but they thought I was crazy that a glass tablet in your hand could store millions of pictures on it and when I told them you could also talk to anyone anywhere it the world on it they said 'off with my head' and I don't remember much after that cause it got pretty dark and cold. Luckily I was reincarnated again so I could tell you all the great and many wonders I had. And just so you know, The pyramids were NOT tombs so please stop saying that. Also, not all secrets have been found or told to you yet. I will tell you of one of them; there is a path that leads to the Great Pyramid you call. What you don't know is what lies beneath that path. The answer to what you seek lies beneath the path you wreak upon.
When I was a kid I saw a old man polishing a stone slab with honey, water, and I think it smelled like vinegar, but he had some Swede leather, and some leather, thick like a razerstrap , some red sand and some white chalk, and was rubbing it on the stone slab, it looked like it was getting shiny, I ask him if he was doing it for fun, he just laughed, I was around 9 years old then, somewhere down in the Carolinas, this video makes me think of that.
Brings to mind the old adage "Land of milk and honey" which then makes me think of milk of magnesia which then makes me think of chalk... Maybe? Just a thought ;)
Muito pertinente seu comentário. Tem uma boa dose de coerência. Os velhos barbeiros usavam uma tira de couro para dar fio em suas navalhas.
Wow. Ben. I rewatched this and to think you were under 1000 subscribers as you state it this video. Congrats. Keep this up. The technological analytics of the ancient world is certainly the way to escape the dogma that has entrenched this area
You probably had the best guide in Gizeh.
The most interesting things about the plateau i heard
from Yousef Awyan and his wise father,who had the site
as a playground while growing up.
The Serapeum seems to be the most ancient site.
Why is that some sarkophage seem to be kinda exploded
due to pressure inside?
The more information you gain,the more questions arise...
I think Ben you have effectively raised some very solid points with this series. Academia will not attempt to explain their thesis in relation to these anomalous boxes. So it makes me happy that you share & open the closed "historical murder" files that are peddled as historical fact. Well done, very well done.
I really appreciate all you do Ben !! Thank you I'm fascinated ! when I look at the footage you have shot of the serapeum I can't help but think of a funeral home showroom , what if this was the case . as well as the location where they were finished and decorated ? I imagine wealthy nobles coming to this beautiful place and asking for a certain model and kind of decoration . The technology to achieve this is obviously far more advanced than anyone ever considered . Thank you again!
Im not physically able to travel the great distance to see these marvels - thank you for making these videos.
Your work is above and beyond most of the work I've seen and much appreciated, so hats off to you and thanks
'
The Serapeum boxes are like molds for something unknown.. because the technique of internal accuracy is more than the accuracy of the external parties, despite the brilliant polishing that resembles (mirror)... and the strangest thing is that whenever something is revealed regarding the technique (cutting - polishing - moving - pulling), etc. ... we encounter the strangeness of doing that within the laws of physics in our current era.. and to be more frank and without any influence from any opinion that has been put forward ... there is something very important.. which is (there is a connection of some kind between a pantheon of gods Egyptian creation and strange-shaped creatures (closer to aliens) and written in one of the forgotten writings and hieroglyphs of one of the priestesses of the goddess (Hathor) .. Thank you for your efforts, Mr. BEN
My question is.. what happened to the genius that was Egypt... I can say this... It's been my experience as a contractor working for high end professionals... And I've found most have utterly no idea how I complete my tasks... In laymen terms... They don't know the ass end of a hammer... So how is it the Egyptology who are academics and I'm sure never worked in the trades... How can they make their ascertains on how the ancient Egyptians constructed and created these marvels of the ancient world... Just a Thought...
I agree. And it's just mind boggling that those same academics are the sole '"experts" and "authorities" regarding these ancient sites. Not only in Egypt, but all over the world. What happened?!? Has the world gone insane?!? Or was it never sane to start with. Lol. 😅
@@rachel_v_k Were we ever sane.. that is the question of the ages.. lol
most of the academic believe systems are based around career , witch started long long ago in the time that everything had to fit within the time frame of the bible, they don't care a bout facts that can damage a career.
David Edgerly yeah I agree they have no idea... they just guessing... but will never be right... the only way to be right is to do it today
@@williamsshane21 You know... I have often wondered why they haven't reconstructed just one of these ancient sites and restored it to its former glory.. I mean they were destroyed by modern man and quarried for their stone.. and there was nothing natural about their deterioration.. So why not restore a site like Luxor... Could you imagine the interest that would draw??? Or better yet just restore the facing of just one of the pyramids... OMG... That would garner the attention of the whole world... But I think they could reface a pyramid... I think it would take the greatest minds of the world to even come close to how they would do it mechanically... just a thought...
17:01 Another "bedframe" style lid. These will be the focus of my next Pandora's Boxes video. This location shows you two distinct variations: The shallow squared-off ends that match the height of the rounded portion, and then the taller box has a lid where the squared-off ends are taller than the rounded portion. So much to discuss about these boxes...
:) lookin forward to it
@@shermanatorosborn9688 uploading a short video in the morning. Dan and i found two sites with nubs on column segments. Very rare occurance. Perhaps implying geopolymer/concrete.

@@shermanatorosborn9688 i have not, but i need to. that is interesting, there does appear to be at least a couple different colors of stone there...
@@AncientHistoryCriticisms yes two totally different polymers ... I think it's the same guy that famously made the same claim about the pyramid's limestone blocks.
I fervently believe the majority of blocks are cut and that they were moved . I do think they could rearrange molecules and smelt ore , making alloys and polymers.
Look up “Ager” stone sealer/darkened. Something like this maybe with a acidic property to bring a high finish to those granite boxes. I have worked in the marble and granite industry for 14 years and my father and grandfather. So third generation lol weird to say that. But anyways I watch all your videos, and sometimes on your close ups I see things that are strikingly close to how we would work a piece of rock. Like the polished surface on those boxes, man I could examine those for weeks looking for info like a damn detective!!!
Great work buddy keep it up and could you do more extreme close ups on the surface of the stone worked surface for people like me thanks again.
Doug could they have polished with water and or oil and sand? Slowly using finer and finer grit
This so-called 'Polish' or whatever it is has lasted over 12,000 years and it still shines. What is this ancient liquid? Need to do a test on this.
@@silentonall Good point. Why hasn't a sample been taken and tested? Super simple to determine what it is. Why guess when you can know for sure?
Was thinking acid. Do you think vinegar would do it?
@@silentonall the polish isn't a coating, polishing or buffing something makes the material itself so flat it shines. This could last millennia underground in a desert where theres no weathering from wind or water. Honestly you could buff rock with a mix of oil and sand, finer and finer grit like another dude said and then a cloth soaked in vinegar for the final finish.
No amazing tech necessary if you want to see this just go to a graveyard look at the stonework there. Sure we do it faster with power tools but remember that back then there were more people around so a few guys could make one of these in a year.
Dude when that vsauce type music starts playing in the back ground i get chills . go back in time to watch new vsauce 1 and 2.
It looks like the "scoops" are to "tune" the stone for resonance. It makes the most sense to me.
i thought that too, notice none of the chips/damage caused by the lid being forced open in antiquity have grown in size or developed cracks because they weren't scooped out
I had the same thought!
Hi Ben...you rock! Your presentations are so beautifully thorough...I love it! Keep them coming. We humans need to learn more of what our lost ancient past really was and folks like you spreading the word and the enthusiasm are making a huge difference. Yay Science! I'll certainly be tipping my server! Thanks, man!
Egypt is only one of the ultimate wonders of our world. Unfortunately we can only imagine the finds at other much older and complex sites located on other continents. Many of which have been closed or brushed aside by government and mainstream. I truly appreciate your work, but let us never forget there is so much more to our past than just the sands of Egypt.
So many things are closed off or pooh-poohed....Gunung Padang is 'on hold' in Indonesia, in Russia the Denisova Cave in the Altais might as well be the moon, zero scienitific interest in challenging the mainstream view on Ural Mountains megaliths. New Zealand: forget about challenging the MS narrative, despite what the Maori themselves say. Nan Madol: It seems we'll never get to see whats going on off the coast in deep water. Cool recent things: More info coming out about the 'terra preta' Amazon garden theory idea, with MS pushing back the dates for agriculture in the Amazon to near-Bering Strait range (LOL!), and Hugh Newman's latest vids from Utah are pretty cool!
@@adamrawn2063 there was a program on 'telly' about 5 years ago that,had the theory that the whole of the Amazon has been resurfaced by man. Basically its thought 'they' gardened it,used the areas, then moved to another once all that could be used, was used then
Moved on and started again.
This is incredibly interesting to anyone who has worked with building materials. Fascinating, Mr. Spock!
Super interesting, have you or Yousef looked at the surface finish under a microscope?
Again you have shown and talked about things I hever heard of. This liquid polish idea is really interesting. More like a varnish by the details described.
Due to the dripping, the smoothness, the reflectiveness, it seems to me like a stone lacquer.
Solid work, Ben! This video highlights so many questions that have never been touched upon that should be and your conclusions hold strong compared to what we're told by the MSM. Awesome work! I'm so envious of your exploration, best of luck!
Hi Ben, amazing work on these mysterious works of art, whatever their purpose. I've just been over to your website and made a paypal gift to help you continue your research.
Others should also consider supporting Ben as this is a mystery that shows history lessons taught around the world are based on old fashioned practices, not modern research.
Thanks so much for your support! I greatly appreciate it... working on part 5 to the serapeum series now to close it out.
Fantastic video and a great example of ancient technology that we cannot explain.
Harmonics - This is why a cracked box cannot even be fixed or patched. look into it further and you will find the boxes are harmonic shapes, that release sound energy. It is the harmonics that ran the drills and polishing also.
By the way, there are already many scholars, who claim this and have multitudes of videos on You Tube. MegalithomaniaUK channel is a good one, but he also gets a bit "out there", as well. Still worth a look.
there was a researcher on Megalithomania who was actually a qualified acoustical engineer who analyzed the so-called Passage Tombs who was absolutely fascinating but as far as I can find he only did the ONE video, I don't remember his name but compelling stuff.
18:08 My new favorite channel!!! Always looking forward to these videos! Truly amazing stuff
To me it’s obvious primitive people did NOT make this. I saw an interesting video about the possibility that ancient people in Peru were using some kind of mixture (a plant I think) to pour on rocks to carve them easier. I thought that was interesting. Thank you for taking the time to care about our past.
Yes...saw that too...
with the chemistry of today we would have found some liquid that can do that, so that plant story is just that, a story.
@@TheBwaap I'm not so sure, there is still a lot more we don't know than do know in the world of chemistry.

Nah mate, they used the same stone melting tech we see in old kingdom Egypt as well. It was most likely made with a sonic device that altered the frequency of the stone making it like putty. Then it was easily worked with other tools or set into casts.
Chat GPT answers about the tech use of a granite box:
"A granite box, being a solid and durable material, can have various technological uses depending on its size, shape, and design. Here are a few potential applications:
1. Electronics Enclosure: Granite has excellent heat resistance and can provide a stable and protective environment for sensitive electronic components. It can be used to create enclosures for high-temperature or high-vibration environments, such as industrial equipment or military electronics.
2. Radiation Shielding: Granite has natural radiation-blocking properties due to its composition. It can be employed as a shielding material in applications where protection from radiation is necessary, such as in medical facilities or nuclear power plants.
3. Precision Instrument Housing: The stability and low vibration transmission of granite make it suitable for housing precision instruments that require a stable environment, such as optical devices, spectroscopy equipment, or laser systems. The material's inertness and resistance to temperature changes help maintain accuracy and reliability.
4. Calibration Standards: Due to its dimensional stability and resistance to wear, granite is often used as a reference material for calibration standards. It can provide a reliable and consistent surface for calibrating measurement devices, including coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) or optical comparators.
5. Decorative or Architectural Applications: While not purely technological, granite boxes can serve aesthetic and functional purposes in architecture and interior design. They can be used as decorative elements, planters, or even as part of a structure to provide a visually appealing and durable solution.

Interesting liquid polish concept. This would be a great way to start a n attempted reverse engineering series. I see in the comments a bunch of trade workers have weighed in.
Hello Ben,
thanks a lot for the amazing work you put in all these outstanding documentarys. Very very interesting!!
Great job again Ben. I have to agree with Yousef, it looks like they were "emptying" the cracks, removing the structural imperfections of the stones. The shape of the largest box is different than the others, so I am not sure if saying it was "unfinished" is correct. The lid shape looks finished, and matches other finished lids we see at other sites. I think that was the finished box, but perhaps it cracked from usage? I do admit it may have become damaged during construction and put in the farthest antechamber to "get it out of the way". The unique lid shape makes me think that box was a different feature of the site. The other similar boxes may have been for the same or similar functions, but perhaps the largest box performed a different function than the rest? I imagine that when it cracked, taking it back outside was too much work, so instead they made an antechamber to store it? Thanks as always, this is the best footage of the site.

Hey AWESOME VIDEO, just wanted to say thanks and i hit the like to help you out. You are doing a great job on your videos well thought out, precisely and clearly presented. One of the better channel's on you tube. Thanks again for all your work
The scooping of the granite to remove cracks is very interesting, and is practiced to this day in the manufacture of typically aerospace grade components, whereas cracks or imperfections that are identified thru non destructive testing inspections can be routed out and then deemed acceptable once the latent defect has been removed. So why implement a level of quality control on an object that had no functional purpose?
They do the same thing with cracks in steel. Instead of scooping it out they find the ends and drill holes to stop the pathway.
loved this there so much hidden an yet to be found keep up the great work prayers an blessing your way
Who thumbs down this? Sheep/people hybrids?
religious people, folks that are to dumb to understand this (i know these are the same kind of people) , archaeologist in general hate facts (they rather suck on their thumb and come up with some utter bullshit) and so on.
Come on, that's not fair. He shows us the guide speaking. He never gives the impression that these are his own novel, proprietary ideas.. He's a proponent of the theory who encourages others to agree with him; and that's a good thing! We should be more community minded if we ever want to bring pressure on mainstream archaeology to open up their minds a bit.
" shame on you " its obviously the head of Egyptian Antiquities dude
Fascinating. Excellent questions and observations regarding the finish of the high polish on granite boxes.
It’s obvious my own speculation but could they have made like a silica powder then added it to something making a almost molecular fluid to fill in the small spaces. Almost like a crystal turtle wax?
Its probably a type of long lasting resin, like the ones we use to finish wood. Im guessing it was used as a final layer of insulation for the capacitors inside.
This was my thinking too. They have plenty of silica around and I've seen some papers that they used phosphoric acid as a preservative. Silica can be dissolved in phosphoric acid. Paint on polish and repeat until smooth. Who knows though, there are a lot more people with more knowledge of this stuff looking at it, surly they would have thought this a possibility already?
Is that finished "layer" been sampled and analyzed by any chance? If we are to put a story together, we need this type of evidence.
ah but first you need "permission" from the ministry of antiquities in Egypt, but good luck with that....round and round we go....
@@AustinKoleCarlisle Then again, isn't forgiveness easier than permission? Perhaps someone should just surreptitiously take a quick little scrape for a mass spec machine to read?
Mainstream quackademia will never do that as they are too entrenched in their own narrative to care about finding the truth. It has to be one of us, the independent researchers, truth seekers that subscribe to no institution nor care about some academic reputation. it has to be a person that has the means and the will to go beyond regulations and simply do it, then share with us on YT :D.
That day is coming close, my frend, as the awakening is at hand.
Rather than a liquid medium being used to give a finish polish could it have possibly been a liquid varnish or glaze?
Thanks!
Looks like they used McGuire's Carnuba Wax.
I can't believe polishing a box is that big of a deal. Not easy just labor intensive. Polishing a granite box is like color sanding and polishing a car. After painting a car, you sand down by hand the textured painted surface smooth with like a 400 or 600 grit sandpaper and work your way down to a #5000 finer grit sandpaper. After sanding down the car's paint surface down smooth with the finest #5000 grit sand paper you can often hand polish the paint with a fine abrasive liquid & towel or even use a rotary buffing machine with a very fine liquid abrasive. After the car has been color sanded and polished you can seal the paint with a glaze or a wax to protect it from the sun, rain and pollution. If done properly you will have a very shiney and almost mirror like finish.
Nope, carnauba trees (Copernicia prunifera) are native to South America, so no.
Norbert, polishing a car’s finish is not quite the same as polishing granite stone.
Thank you for the video. This is the first time I have heard such details.
When I saw the drips on the under side of the lid, it looked more like they applied a coating or sealant.
Yes....same here, and it was said there is a layer to the coating...
But...what I would like to know if any chemical analysis was conducted on this layer?
And those bore holes and saw cuts, is there any written record of these being seen centuries ago?...such as the reports or letters of the well heeled "grand tour" personalities of the mid to late 18th centuries...this would prove that they were done prior to our modern technology being available.
Over 300K subs in 3 years. Good job! Keep it up Ben! Your attention to small detail is going to make a big difference.
What if the polish of the boxes isn’t a preparation made by their builders, but a RESULT of the function they served?
We know the hieroglyphic inscriptions on the boxes were likely added by the later, less advanced Egyptians evidenced by the tools that must have been used to inscribe them, the level of precision pales in comparison to the that used to cut the stone for the blocks, as argued by egyptologists such as Brian Forster.
Knowing this, whos to say the builders would care to polish the boxes if it didn’t serve a function? Especially when you consider the scoops taken out of the boxes that show a disregard for superficialities.
Interesting
i thought that too, but if its a result of the function, and we see the polish on the inside of the boxes, why wouldnt we see it on the underside of the lid too?
Now that is thinking outside the box (no pun intended)
I thought that too, but then I realized the "polish" as we see it for "beauty" might actually serve the purpose of preservation throughout the ages and for whatever purpose it was to be used. The liquid itself acting as a bonding agent to fortify the box. Being shiny may not be the intention of the builders, but the result of this liquid bonding agent. The question is what compounds or chemicals did they use and what process did they use to get it to penetrate the outer layer? One thing I can say for sure is the boxes were built for durability and to withstand some kind of pressure or process.
Tracy Phillips cue the chemical Electricity generator theory ? Ox bones and gains and lye . A few have speculated this . Wonder what evidence there has been to support it .
Thoroughly enjoyed, your well written, well articulated videos! I agree- there needs to be more investigation into the mystery of these ancient creations! Who, how, and what made them, how were they quarried, moved and put under the ground and more importantly, why??
Seeing the size and weight of those boxes and then hearing the guy say they were meant for function and not decoration is like the start of a horror movie
It's about time that someone produced a well thought out (mini) documentary. I give it high marks. I also appreciated having some degree of intelligence demonstrated by the narrator,...All in all,....job well done ! Now, if only other's would see this and learn from it, and those who produce documentaries and/or lectures on such subjects,....if they could grasp "what is needed to attract the right audience" then, well,......I think you understand my point. Well done,....Hope to see more like this,.....only let it run straight through, with some length to it. Keep up the great work fellas,.....raising the bar somewhat. Peace.
Thanks. I will put together the full length version when I'm done. I'm beavering away on the last 'chapter' to this series now.
I think when Ancient Architects did his edit on this he mentioned, that a drawing was made in the 1800's ? when they first found the boxes, the drawing showed many stones piled on top of one of the lids - that's a big clue.
Really great, well-produced videos. You speak well, and explain the possibilities nicely. This is mind-blowing stuff!
When I worked at a stone masons we used Zinc oxide powder for the final polish. It was applied mixed with water via sheep skin pads and would easily go into the cavities that you show. The liquid is like a silicone. Some rather simple tests would give good results if samples could be taken.
15:28 Absolutely agree with Yousef here, the stones won't lie to us.
I'm not an expert but it seems like if they were meant to resonate based on there crystalline composition there dimensions should be related to that resonance very precisely as well.
Yes! Been waiting for part 4. Good work man! Thanks for making these videos for us to enjoy.
Thanks a lot for this. It is high time we expose all these Egyptian archeologists as fake scientists.
@UnchartedX
Dear Ben, I think that the shapes on the wall at 2:38 and 5:08 are rather interesting. Like the nobs we see on megalithic sites, these are present all around the world, at places like Petra or the Longmen grottoes. And it's interesting we see them around an unfinished box, because I think they are calibration marks from the machine that was working on it. And knowing how precise the boxes are, I think we are not talking about a handheld devices, but rather automated ones.
Excellent video. Why not take a secret sample of the 'surface liquid' and send it to a lab. If the liquid penetrated into the granite for around 1mm it must be something very strange...
That would be interesting!
I hope this happens, that's exactly what I think they should be doing... I haven't heard about it if it has...
It did its work and evaporated a long time ago.
UnchartedX Brien said he was doing that
Gary Wheeler - of course there will be no liquid left but the molecular structure of the smoothed granite may give chemists an indication of what chemical process has transpired even if it's thousands of years ago
Some of those scoops are absolutely unervingly perfect, like if you scoop ice cream has a relatively frozen ice cream cube. The engineering is actually insane.
They used mop-n-glow to make the boxes shiny,, If they were able to do what they did with all that stone? They had access to mop-n-glow,,,
Mop-N-Glow. Mop-N-Glow never changes.

Re-watching all your videos again. Leaving a comment this time. I am a patron of yours. 'DavekliTepe' and the picture of a bee covered in pollen (Mr. Natural). Anyway enough about that. Thank you again for your dedication and research. Thanks to Brien and Chris and Jimmy, etc. You stand out though, in my opinion. Because I was following you first and the others fell into place like cards in a deck. I have a literal boatload (or Byblos) of downloaded pdf books and notes to study and peruse. Thank you for the amazing journeys. Top shelf. Cheers, mate. (I'm not Australian, but, my late, great wife was).
i love these vids man but you need more opinions from actual stone masons
Could you please do a follow up on this? Thank you for for all you're hard work, you are truly a hero getting this footage and evidence out to the world.
it's the same way Michelangelo polished his marble statues. it's one thing everyone over looks but is actually the simplest technique. they do it in woodworking sometimes, when finishing a wood turning on the lathe you pick up a handful of shavings and hold them on the surface while the piece is turning and it smooths it out. the BEST material to sand or polish a surface you are working on is the SAME material you are trying to polish!!! it has the same hardness so they will wear down at the same time and produce a smoother surface. they likely already had some fairly flat granite "polishing" stones prepared in advance for this. take some already ground up and fine dust/powder, mix it into a slurry with water or oil(which at the time would have likely been olive oil or palm tree oil) and you have the perfect material mix for polishing to a finish that by today's standards is near impossible with our tools because the materials are of vastly different hardness.
i have the same answer for all those ancient civilizations where the archaeologists can't figure out HOW they carved this extremely hard stone... well the only thing of that hardness they had to work with WAS THAT STONE!!! break off chunks of it, rub it against the same stone until you create the tool needed... they both wear down at similar rates so it maintains a nice smooth surface and there's little finishing to be done. can also make a crude polishing tool by taking a flat piece of wood and embedding the polishing material onto it, it's not going to last as long but it's also a potential technique they used BUT that also leaves open the question of how did they manage to get a piece of wood to that kind of uniform flatness? it's more likely that they used the stone and slurry mixture.
Notice how this logical and well informed post didnt get a heart from the creator like these stupid fuckers talking about lost polishing technologies?
It's almost like stupidity and fantasy are being encouraged more than observation and logic in certain places.
While not necessarily wrong, it’s a logical and well thought out explanation that doesn’t address how the scooped areas were polished nor does it address what appears to be liquid runs on the underside that created the same degree of polish. I would think this explanation could more aptly be applied to the penultimate finishing step that still shows the roughness. Seems like a liquid coating was used rather than polish which means it’s still there and can be sampled and analyzed.
@@nostromo526 it's likely lacquer, a weather proof coating that is made from ground up insects. though in an environment like that where most of these are hermetically sealed it could as easily be wax. you can't maintain the level of farming they did on the scale they did without the help of bees!
@@camojoe83 did you see the divets in those boxes?? He didn't heart it because although common sense it's ridiculous to say they polished these boxes with gravel. You can't hollow out stone with the same stone. You'd be there for years trying to replicate that! Sounds like some egyptology nonsense. Yeah they carved that giant obelisk in Aswan quarry with rock boulders too, right? GTFOH
how did they get the inside surfaces within a few thousandths of an inch from perfectly flat? how did they get the inside corners of the boxes perfectly square? how did they do this after the fact evidenced by the giant unfinished stone box in the hallway?
