If it wasn't for this video I would have continued to think Petra was just a single chamber carved into a scale of bedrock (impressive within itself). The sheer scale and length of this place is unheard of, as far as I know. And those acoustic chambers, just amazing. Those walks looked clear cut in 90 degree angles, where is this technology they were using 2300 years ago? Thanks Brien for doing what you do, love your videos.
Thank you Brien, I have studied history for over 55 years but you have opened my eyes to how we have been systematically lied to for thousands of years. You have blown my mind over the past two years with your expertise and photographic evidence that is undeniable in it's authenticity, thank you Brien. Your work is simply stunning!
You might also want to investigate the work of John Anthony West, Robert Schoch, and Robert Bauval for the Egyptian pyramids; Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock for the great cataclysm of 12900 years ago and related topics. They provide us with a complete new perspective and can all be found here on youtube. And yes, we have been systematically lied to.
@Janusha I have studied history for longer, and I have always known we continually underestimate the intelligence of our ancestors. This is the cause of all the "ancient alien" conspiracy theorists that abound on the history channel and many other venues. It hasn't been a light switch, but it is increasing in confirmation that mainstream doesn't really know what humanoids were capable of more than a few thousand years ago. They certainly weren't inept completely stupid Neanderthals like we were instructed. They might have been more advanced than us, in some regards. Their intelligence and ability of some to survive extreme cataclysm might be one of the reasons we're still here.
@Janusha I wanted to say that ! Who lied ,why and what is the point of that lying? I do not think that official historians lie ,but there is no evidence of previous civilizations. Ok ,we have stone structures,that we can't build today and that's it. We don't know why,when or how they build them. We have theories ,but lack of evidence. One thing is very strange? There is non of that technology survived,but it should be something,even fragments..... I have my theories and one of them is that we can't recognize evidence of older civilizations ,even if we find them. Advanced civilizations would not use stone to build cities ,because there would be easier ways to build structures,like concrete or mortars. There is no reason to use so heavy stones.... People usually forget that older civilizations had time and they had much people to work and that when you have enough hands,nothing is impossible . I an the one of those people who would like to believe that aliens were here,and they probably were,but we simply do not have valid evidence.
I went to Jordan in November of 2018 and visited different sites, including Petra. It was by far the highlight of my trip. I saw everything except the Monastery, and the entire experience was amazing. The Bedouins would heckle people into riding a donkey, horse, or camel. They, and the merchants, would get offended if you told them maybe later, and then not ride or make purchases. It was a very different culture, but a truly rewarding experience.
Amazing city. And always a delight to see your respectful presentation of sites of antiquity. That horseback ride just takes me back a thousand years in time. How many travellers would have arrived in awe visiting Petra for the first time in this precise way. It must have been tens of thousands of people if not more. It's beauty cannot be overstated. And one can only wonder what it looked like in all of it's glory. Thank you once again for your beautiful tour. I can only hope to join you someday in the future.
yes!!!! I LOVE Petra!! Such an amazing place when one finds out about the accomplishments the people there obtained! The water irrigation and the amazing trade they did there of spices and even wine! Thanks Brien.
I highly value these very straightforward videos. Brien Foerster is a construction expert, and his knowledge is important in evaluating very ancient works. Brien Foerster has the courage to ask the right questions. His honest curiosity sheds light on so many important historical mysteries. Thank you so much!
Thanks Brien, great videos. In my opinion I think it’s only a matter of time until we eventually work out exactly how all these ancient mega structures were built and why. What your doing is helping us get there!
Unbelievable, The Technology used in this Video that opens many doors to our Knowledge and understanding of the World we live in today. Also that does make you think twice about who did the excavating used especially at an archaeological site thousands of years old. Your work is Priceless.
"Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad - [With] Iram - who had lofty pillars, The likes of whom had never been created in the land? And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley? And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? - [All of] whom oppressed within the lands And increased therein the corruption. So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment. Indeed, your Lord is in observation" Quran 89:6-14
"And long ago, when crossed the men, yet not men, built with blocks upon blocks. Came a learned one saying, 'Life is composed of cycles. So know, an end will come.' And he prophesied, 'A loud voice is heard, and he makes known the knowledge of yore saying, "Oooh!" And he cares not to be rude.' And the time shifted, and the donkey's toe was smashed [Kum Bath 1:2-3]."
Thanks for another great video, mate! I have always been interested in this place as well as our lost ancient history. I am now even more excited to visit this amazing place. Keep the great work coming! Thank you.
Brien, I visited Petra about 5 years ago piggybacked to my Israel tour. So glad I did. Your in depth analysis of tool works for both Egypt (going there in April) and Petra is amazing. Thank you.
One, if not the best, videos I've seen on Petra. It's amazing. Thanks for stressing the enormous size of this place. It's truly fascinating how it does go on and on and on. Trying to imagine the activity that took place here. Donkeys.... @ 8:39. My gosh, I wanna visit. It's beautiful.
Absolutely love your channel. Learning so much from your tours. Maybe some day we will be able to afford to go on the live tour. Thanks so much for doing this work
Your videos are AmAzing. I have been watching your videos for a long time. And enjoy every second. Here’s a big thank you. For everything your doing. Please don’t ever stop. Your the man !
WoW excellent video...the ohm sound acoustics definitely raise the consciousness and perhaps sound tech caused the caustic forming of the quartzite rock.Thank-you Brien! Definitely Petra and Mexico on my tour wants!💞🌸🕊
It’s all coming out.. government next admit is gonna be that ancient civilizations lived here and died cataclysm that’s coming back too scary for ppl.. covid is the right medium type of scare without riots. Ancient civilizations let’s go! I will dig for minimal payment!
Monaka San that is pretty much my take on it to. A civilisation that understood natural energy far better than we do today. More in tune with the plant so to speak. I think we have been taught to focus on money for so long we have missed our true path
Chris Eastwood yes a great understanding of the nature. Hadith speak of sulaiman also known as king solomon. Who had a bond with nature and could speak with animals. God gave him the power to use the wonders of the nature. He could travel with the winds faster than planes can today.
" Hired Greeks to complete the treasury " Are you serious ?? No structure in Greece can compare to Petra ...Chalk and Cheese ! "We have uncovered just 15 percent of the city," "The vast majority-85 percent-is still underground and untouched." Archaeologist Zeidoun Al-Muheisen of ( Jordan's Yarmouk University.)
@Frank Castle They do indeed, perhaps the invading greek and romans copied what they found. Look closely at the ruins, they were not carved. They were enveloped by the rock, there is a lot more under the rock.
@Frank Castle Well here we have brien questioning everything about this site including and narrative. If this structure spent 10s of thousands of years under water and had sand deposits built on them,, if the water receded would the heat from the sun turn the silt to quartzite, I thinks there's a good possibility. Take the treasury do you build a beautiful facade, giant room, then 2 big doorways in the room, to nowhwhere???????
the capitals on the columns are derivative of Corinthian capitals which originated in Greece and became popular around the 4th century BC... There are some fantastical things about Petra and the other sites Brian visits, but there is nothing outrageous about the claim that Greeks helped design Petra, in fact it's quite reasonable and historically documented.
@William Felix Baalbek ruins are Canaanite or Phoenicians how Greeks called them, they were semites as well as Arabs froms Petra, both spoke very similar languages and shared a common history with other Semites kingdoms in the region, Greeks copied what they saw, then the Romans copied from Greeks, ruins found in the levant are far older than any Greek or Roman ruins found in their very first cities.
Wow! A nicely done video - shows details, and has a good narration. Thanks! BTW.I came here via a link in a comment under a video on the Bright Insight channel, entitled "THIS is What’s Inside The LOST CITY of Petra - Lost Ancient Human Civilization". :)
Thanks Brien and excellent work as always ;) I greatly appreciate the knowledge and priceless visual data you so generously share with us! Being unable to get to these places myself currently makes the footage and commentary priceless to me, and you provide it for free!!! Thank you again and good day my friend :) I hope to attend one of your amazing tours once my children get a bit older.... BTW, what camera are you using these days for the footage? Looks great! Jay
Jay SonyAlphaLab I agree completely with your feelings about the value of his work and posts here. Yes... the video is really great. It’s a visual treat, to say the least.
I would just like to say .....how lovely are our DEAR FRIENDS ....THE HORSES, CAMELS, DONKEYS...All working so hard to serve humankind.We take them so much for granted, and on top of that can become victims of neglect. Just thought I would bring this to light.Thank you Brien.
Corundum which is a gemstone and is use in the grit of some sandpaper has a hardness of 9 on MOHs scale of hardness for minerals. To make this into a tool or circular saw blade would be almost impossible back then. The shaped corundum would need to be inserted into the tips of hardened steel, all precisely the same way. Even now without the computer driven machinery it would be virtually impossible to do.
Even if they went down, which seems likely, that still is no small feat. Imagine moving all of that land mass with simple tools. It would be quite the job to do, and take an enormous amount of time.
Thanks Brien, again an excellent video. You call these tombs at 9.30, is there any evidence to suggest this was a necropolis as it looks more like an ancient metropolis?
Mr . Brien . You are damn right .. I am a jordanian . I visited petra when i was 16 . Now i am 55 , and from the first time i visited petra i realised that these stones are not cut by hand tools .. Its a technology way behind 100bc . Thanks for the ilustration .
Ive had over 14 years fabricating stone and they used wire saws and core drills powered by livestock to cut those rooms. you can still see the core holes located at points along the insides perfectly. .
Tuned to "om" literally means nothing. Spaces can be tuned to a musical note AKA resonant vibrational frequency but you cannot find "om" on a piano keyboard. So it's not tuned to "om".
@@Cheesusrice69222 you could sing any frequency using any combination of sounds and it would resonate because of the size of the space, the absence of obstacles and the stone walls reflecting the sound. Even the DONKEY reverberated and not because it sung om at a specific frequency. If the rock itself rang like a bell in response to a particular frequency of sound he might have a point. Its not tuned to anything, just has good accoustics.
What if the builders DID have steel? How many thousands of years would have to pass for all of the steel machinery to deteriorate enough to leave no trace? Could Petra be more that 50,000 years old? More than 100,000 years old?
I agree, it wasnt chisels ropes and pulleys, though the tools should be found. Or atleast traces of them, its likley we have found some them but do not recognize them for what they are.
If they had steel why would they not build steel buildings? That's what I really don't get is if these people had awesome tools and steel or any of the tech they may have had . Then why rocks ? The tool marks at 13 08 . Could they be just the texture they wanted ? Like after they chiseled wall out . Maybe they had some way to scrape the texture into the walls . I'm starting to think these people had nothing but time on there hands and we're able to do a lot of these things with basic shitty tools . Basically if they had the machine to make this they would not have made a rock house
I have been to Petra a few times, and there is always something new to find. It is nice you mentioned little Petra few people seem to go there, at the end of little Petra there is strange gash, maybe a fault line, through the mountain, go through that, and you will find somewhere that looks like something from 1000’s of years ago. There is also a place called the “old high place”, not to be confused with the “high place” on the tourist route, it's not on the map, but we found it in an old book, this has an original staircase several metres wide cut through the mountain! Although some parts have collapsed, so you need good climbing boots. This has some of the best views across Petra. A lot of the hills have gulleys cut into them, which catch any rain and channel it into underground cisterns, which reminds me of the film Dune. Some still fill with water. A lot of the stone is very soft, sandstone, but has amazing patterns and colours carved by the wind. If you goto the crusader castle, which is high up iabove Petra it is already, falling to pieces. I would also recommend watching the sunset, from up in the mountains, and also at the Monastery.
Thank you for your comments . I had the opportunity to visit Petra in 1994. It blew my mind, l felt l was walking on a sacred place. I believe l was. I would Love to visit again, but at my age it is not possible. Thank you for helping me remember the day l was there. I have been in Peru and Egypt, still Petra is in my mind.
The thing to consider is that all of it amounts to the remnants, the bare bone remains - if you will fossils, of something that must have been immense, comparable to our own civilization perhaps. Because in order to do such as this, or any of the other megalithic ruins that are coming to light, it means the societal infrastructure that would have had to have been in place must have been complex, powerful and and grand on a scale perhaps rivaling our current era. The implications are that we have lost a staggering amount of knowledge and information, both about ourselves and about science the world and perhaps the Universe in general. By way of example imagine all that would be lost if our world today was smacked back to the stone age? From Beethoven to Mozart to Leonardo Da Vinci to Einstein; from the discovery of gunpowder to being able to fly to nuclear weapons to the telephone and computers, pfffffft.....all of it......gone. With nary a footnote or memory left. All that would be left would be a scrabble of humanity struggling to survive. Imagine how far we'd fall. Think about this when you look at the likes of a Petra. I guess the saving grace for the species is that the amnesia is near total; so though we can look upon these remains and wonder we cannot comprehend the scale of the loss and so there is no sadness. I only hope that we know enough this time so to not repeat whatever it was that took that civilization out. Because as sure as God makes little green apples it can happen again. The proof is in the bones we now see, for they amount to a warning sign. I hope, this time, we are better prepared - perhaps wiser - for that which even now might be slouching its way towards us... John~ American Net'Zen
A very powerful insight! I totally agree with you 💯% Something cataclysmic surely may have wiped away ancient advanced civilizations without leaving a trace of how far they'd reached technologically of which we have no clue. The same may happen to us, surely!
Here's a modern semi-manual chiseling inside a mine. You can clearly see, that the chiseling marks follow different hardness and break points of the rock. www.123rf.com/photo_29283599_long-corridor-with-stairs-leading-to-exit-door-in-salt-mine-at-praid-romania.html My point: To get a pretty flat wall, you wouldn't end up with very straight lines, doing it manually. Even with power tools. The chiseling in the video was clearly done in a rotary motion, wondering if you can see the width somewhere where they replaced the tool to a new row. This would help to understand the power consumption of the tool. Also what wonders me: Why diagonal. There's no reason to do this in a straight line diagonal: You would have to build up a device which can work from buttom to top in one go. Going horizontal would make more sense - you can build a simple scaffold and bring a much smaller device on a level you want to work on.
Magnificent Structure, thanks for sharing this great video with everyone, I wish I had the money and resources to visit this sites and many more, Thanks again and keep up the Great work!
I presume the management of the site had the road cemented for the benefit of walking tourists, since many of the original road stones had been washed away in a flood: www.ancientpages.com/2017/05/12/great-flood-destroyed-mysterious-ancient-city-petra-evidence-found/
J' aurai aimé venir en avril 2019 mais mon petit bouleau me tient attaché et loin de ces fabuleuses découvertes. C' est trop triste. So ...well i am counting on youre chanel to see what i can' t see and feel. Thank you for this video.
Hope someday soon you can get on Joe Rogan, I'm sure he would be very interested in having you and your information would reach millions. I watch every video you put out and am more and more intrigued each time. Great work!
The notches on the side of the Treasury seem very sloppy and half assed, what makes you think the guys who did the ornate carving would just pack it in when making the notches? Are there more notches anywhere else?
Brien Foerster I'll be there with you eventually Brien. Im saving my pennies to give them to you. I have to get to Egypt and Machu Picchu, maybe next year sir.
They aren't decorative notches, I believe the workers put them there to support their platform while they worked. Wooden planks would be inserted as part of their platform, as they finished work and moved higher to do the next part, another set of notches was made and the platform risen.
There really is some sort of correlation between sound and these sites. I wonder how important sound was to these ancient people. Or what they used it for.
If it wasn't for this video I would have continued to think Petra was just a single chamber carved into a scale of bedrock (impressive within itself). The sheer scale and length of this place is unheard of, as far as I know. And those acoustic chambers, just amazing. Those walks looked clear cut in 90 degree angles, where is this technology they were using 2300 years ago?

I want to go here SO BAD. I want to explore all those rock-cut buildings. It would take a couple of lifetimes.
like ancient architects says ROKU tempos
Absolutely love your channel. Learning so much from your tours. Maybe some day we will be able to afford to go on the live tour. Thanks so much for doing this work
Your videos are AmAzing. I have been watching your videos for a long time. And enjoy every second. Here’s a big thank you. For everything your doing. Please don’t ever stop. Your the man !
My mind has been blown.
Absolutely stunning!! Thank you. XX

Thank you for sharing. Excellent work to report history as you film it.
Excellent video... thank you
WoW excellent video...the ohm sound acoustics definitely raise the consciousness and perhaps sound tech caused the caustic forming of the quartzite rock.Thank-you Brien! Definitely Petra and Mexico on my tour wants!💞🌸🕊
Truly an amazing video! Thank you for all You show!
This video blew my mind. it's on my bucket list !
Just subbed from bright insight.
Cheers
Same here
Yepp me too. Awesome Video as usual sir. There are so many places to visit... and I totaly will in the next few years. Keep up the good work :)
That's fun. I had subscribe to Brien Foerster for longer but come to this video from bright insight
It’s all coming out.. government next admit is gonna be that ancient civilizations lived here and died cataclysm that’s coming back too scary for ppl.. covid is the right medium type of scare without riots. Ancient civilizations let’s go! I will dig for minimal payment!
When you were at the big echo room, did you happen to notice if it has a spot where I could plug in my guitar?
Use a travel amp. Sound won't be as full, true, but just to do it.....wow! ✌😸
😆😆😆😉
i would bet you need no amp if you stand ion the correct spot
No, but it got wifi.
There was a jack in the floor. I saw it
The sheer size is astonishing, and the craftsmanship, is astonishing as well
Excellent video, footage and information. Thank you for sharing ✌️
Dude buddy bro Bryan dude... Thank you so much for all your amazing videos in this place is beyond comprehension amazing video thank you so much
Amazing I hope when I die everything will be understood
Ed - don't you mean BEFORE you die?
:))
No sir.. reset and straight back in 🤯
Be openminded and read the Holy Quran. The Quran speaks of ancient civilizations who used to carve houses into mountains.

To make this into a tool or circular saw blade would be almost impossible back then.
The shaped corundum would need to be inserted into the tips of hardened steel, all precisely the same way. Even now without the computer driven machinery it would be virtually impossible to do.
Then they had all of this or even more advanced high tech
these were cut by machines with teeth made of adamantium.
They didnt go 40 feet up, they went 40 feet down
I caught that too. This guy doesn’t think too much...
That’s right.👍
@@youtubeblockscomments ... "This guy doesn't think too much". Let us say he thinks nothing. He's devoid of it.
Even if they went down, which seems likely, that still is no small feat. Imagine moving all of that land mass with simple tools. It would be quite the job to do, and take an enormous amount of time.
@USMC VMA-124 MAG 42 Well said!
Amazing to have your knowledgeable input into all of the sites you show us Mr Foerster! We can now see them with different eyes as they say.
What a stunning place.
Fantastic video Brien.
daniel hunt great work love this channel
Thanks Brien, again an excellent video. You call these tombs at 9.30, is there any evidence to suggest this was a necropolis as it looks more like an ancient metropolis?
FANTASTIC, AND THE VIEWS OF YOUR HORSE RIDE= AWESOME.
WOW! Thank you so mutch for this video and your work!
Outstanding. I like the flood damage along the bottom edges at some points.
Does this place get flooded regularly?
No ig
Mr . Brien .
You are damn right ..
I am a jordanian . I visited petra when i was 16 .
Now i am 55 , and from the first time i visited petra i realised that these stones are not cut by hand tools ..
Its a technology way behind 100bc .
Thanks for the ilustration .
That’s HARD CORE ARCHEOLOGY/ ANTHROPOLOGY. Thank YOU BRIEN!!! Thank you for your diligence and hardcore dedication to get us SUCH RAW INFORMATION.
those 2 scoop marks are footholds. if you have ever seen a lumberjack challenge you know what i mean. you put a board in the slot to stand on.
Literally nobody knows
@@720pLyrics somebody knows
@@adamdavis5243 they may know that certain things exist, I believe those people are unable to decode them
Ive had over 14 years fabricating stone and they used wire saws and core drills powered by livestock to cut those rooms. you can still see the core holes located at points along the insides perfectly. .
Thanks very good exploration tour..
Your work is sooo valuable. Thanks
They obviously used pneumatic chicken bone drills
seems legit
Tuned to "om" literally means nothing. Spaces can be tuned to a musical note AKA resonant vibrational frequency but you cannot find "om" on a piano keyboard. So it's not tuned to "om".
Sure means nothing. Hate to say it there's more frequences than are on a piano numb nuts
My nuts are numb
@@Cheesusrice69222 you could sing any frequency using any combination of sounds and it would resonate because of the size of the space, the absence of obstacles and the stone walls reflecting the sound. Even the DONKEY reverberated and not because it sung om at a specific frequency. If the rock itself rang like a bell in response to a particular frequency of sound he might have a point. Its not tuned to anything, just has good accoustics.
He sang a Middle C. It’s tuned to C 4.
Brilliant video Brien, thank you. When i can afford it i will be booking your tours.
I am an Electrical Engineer, but I find this material to be quite interesting. It has been a topic of interest for me since I was a kid.
What if the builders DID have steel? How many thousands of years would have to pass for all of the steel machinery to deteriorate enough to leave no trace? Could Petra be more that 50,000 years old? More than 100,000 years old?
Jeffrey Weathers they've already tested the cuts for iron tool residue. Wasn't any. Anywhere!!!!
Rust makes relatively quick work of steel / iron. Several hundred or thousand years of exposure to oxidation would eliminate any iron residue.
Steel derived from meteorites, sacred tools for sacred work.
I agree, it wasnt chisels ropes and pulleys, though the tools should be found. Or atleast traces of them, its likley we have found some them but do not recognize them for what they are.
If they had steel why would they not build steel buildings? That's what I really don't get is if these people had awesome tools and steel or any of the tech they may have had . Then why rocks ? The tool marks at 13 08 . Could they be just the texture they wanted ? Like after they chiseled wall out . Maybe they had some way to scrape the texture into the walls . I'm starting to think these people had nothing but time on there hands and we're able to do a lot of these things with basic shitty tools . Basically if they had the machine to make this they would not have made a rock house
I have been to Petra a few times, and there is always something new to find.
It is nice you mentioned little Petra few people seem to go there, at the end of little Petra there is strange gash, maybe a fault line, through the mountain, go through that, and you will find somewhere that looks like something from 1000’s of years ago.
There is also a place called the “old high place”, not to be confused with the “high place” on the tourist route, it's not on the map, but we found it in an old book, this has an original staircase several metres wide cut through the mountain! Although some parts have collapsed, so you need good climbing boots. This has some of the best views across Petra.
A lot of the hills have gulleys cut into them, which catch any rain and channel it into underground cisterns, which reminds me of the film Dune. Some still fill with water.
A lot of the stone is very soft, sandstone, but has amazing patterns and colours carved by the wind.
If you goto the crusader castle, which is high up iabove Petra it is already, falling to pieces.
I would also recommend watching the sunset, from up in the mountains, and also at the Monastery.
My God, your voice is beautiful. You are the song bird of our generation.
Thank you for your comments . I had the opportunity to visit Petra in 1994. It blew my mind, l felt l was walking on a sacred place. I believe l was. I would Love to visit again, but at my age it is not possible. Thank you for helping me remember the day l was there. I have been in Peru and Egypt, still Petra is in my mind.
The thing to consider is that all of it amounts to the remnants, the bare bone remains - if you will fossils, of something that must have been immense, comparable to our own civilization perhaps. Because in order to do such as this, or any of the other megalithic ruins that are coming to light, it means the societal infrastructure that would have had to have been in place must have been complex, powerful and and grand on a scale perhaps rivaling our current era.
The implications are that we have lost a staggering amount of knowledge and information, both about ourselves and about science the world and perhaps the Universe in general. By way of example imagine all that would be lost if our world today was smacked back to the stone age? From Beethoven to Mozart to Leonardo Da Vinci to Einstein; from the discovery of gunpowder to being able to fly to nuclear weapons to the telephone and computers, pfffffft.....all of it......gone. With nary a footnote or memory left. All that would be left would be a scrabble of humanity struggling to survive. Imagine how far we'd fall. Think about this when you look at the likes of a Petra.
I guess the saving grace for the species is that the amnesia is near total; so though we can look upon these remains and wonder we cannot comprehend the scale of the loss and so there is no sadness. I only hope that we know enough this time so to not repeat whatever it was that took that civilization out. Because as sure as God makes little green apples it can happen again. The proof is in the bones we now see, for they amount to a warning sign. I hope, this time, we are better prepared - perhaps wiser - for that which even now might be slouching its way towards us...

A very powerful insight! I totally agree with you 💯% Something cataclysmic surely may have wiped away ancient advanced civilizations without leaving a trace of how far they'd reached technologically of which we have no clue. The same may happen to us, surely!
@13:08 Doesn't seem like normal chiseling because the grooves are continuous all the way up.
looks more like the pavement scoured away when resurfacing a road
@Mark Runk yes wow...exactly, I did not think of that until you pointed it out
Yeah, it reminded me of rotating pavement milling machine marks you see when road surfaces are redone.
The marks look like inside of rough dug tunnels.
Here's a modern semi-manual chiseling inside a mine. You can clearly see, that the chiseling marks follow different hardness and break points of the rock.

My point: To get a pretty flat wall, you wouldn't end up with very straight lines, doing it manually. Even with power tools.
The chiseling in the video was clearly done in a rotary motion, wondering if you can see the width somewhere where they replaced the tool to a new row. This would help to understand the power consumption of the tool.
Also what wonders me: Why diagonal. There's no reason to do this in a straight line diagonal: You would have to build up a device which can work from buttom to top in one go. Going horizontal would make more sense - you can build a simple scaffold and bring a much smaller device on a level you want to work on.
Excellent video loved it thank you
Magnificent Structure, thanks for sharing this great video with everyone, I wish I had the money and resources to visit this sites and many more, Thanks again and keep up the Great work!
Why is the floor perfectly flat if the canyon was made by water. Wouldn't it be irregular and slope down to an acute angle?
I presume the management of the site had the road cemented for the benefit of walking tourists, since many of the original road stones had been washed away in a flood:

J' aurai aimé venir en avril 2019 mais mon petit bouleau me tient attaché et loin de ces fabuleuses découvertes. C' est trop triste. So ...well i am counting on youre chanel to see what i can' t see and feel. Thank you for this video.
One of the best video I've seen about Al-Petra
Fascinating! I would sooo love to go to Petra.
Hope someday soon you can get on Joe Rogan, I'm sure he would be very interested in having you and your information would reach millions. I watch every video you put out and am more and more intrigued each time. Great work!
The notches on the side of the Treasury seem very sloppy and half assed, what makes you think the guys who did the ornate carving would just pack it in when making the notches? Are there more notches anywhere else?
Lots more; wait until April 2019.
Brien Foerster I'll be there with you eventually Brien. Im saving my pennies to give them to you. I have to get to Egypt and Machu Picchu, maybe next year sir.
They aren't decorative notches, I believe the workers put them there to support their platform while they worked. Wooden planks would be inserted as part of their platform, as they finished work and moved higher to do the next part, another set of notches was made and the platform risen.
He's wrong, they were likely made from looters well after trying to get to the urn at the top looking for gold and treasure
Thank you for all knowledge Brian you have asked for truthful knowledge i have studied for 42 years
New stuff. Thank you
13:16 the ceiling is breathtaking ...
There really is some sort of correlation between sound and these sites. I wonder how important sound was to these ancient people. Or what they used it for.
Excavation and levitation; maybe teleportation....
They sang they had no tv
These sites are royal tombs and were used to practice their burial ceremony rituals.
@@TheIsmaelIsaac no they weren't LOL... Its way more likely they were meditation grounds
@@TheIsmaelIsaac bullshit.
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you for the information about real size of the ancient Petra site!
