      Jimmy? Goto the Richate structure. The eye of the Sahara was ground Zero for Ra. Read the Egyptian history again. The king who owned the temple Ra, was the god king. He moved the eye of ra to the fertile Nile. Why? To protect the valley of the kings, erect the first large pyramid to house the Eye of Ra. A weapon. It destroyed the Richate in the battle for the the elder eye of Horace another weapon. But Orion’s Belt was the ultimate with younger Horace with both eyes. Until a weak leader listened to Apophis and disconnected the Orion’s Belt. And left ra alone. In steps Seth to correct the problem. Operation Hercules goes into Egypt takes the bulls with out incidence. Leaving Apophis another city to take.

    I work in stonemasonry, programming & operating machines that cut all types of stone. Black Granite & quartzite being the most difficult to cut. But cutting isn’t the issue. Even with expensive diamond tipped saws or a water jet at 60,000 psi , cutting the stone is relatively achievable (obviously technically advanced in terms of tooling) with the tools we use. The issue we have is moving and placing them in position without pieces blowing out when a corner barely touches something. If we pick a piece of granite Bench-top up at either end it can easily just break in two. Although tough to cut it’s incredibly fragile, as veins running through it are far less dense, and easily crumble apart. Bits that fall to the ground are literally collected and glued back into place, as to retain as natural look. All stone edges have a bevel or little rounded edge for structural integrity on the edges. Corners and edges can chip so easily. If you had a 15 tonne block of granite with polished faces and square edges/corners I literally cannot fathom how gentle you’d have to be to manoeuvre it into position without bits just breaking off when bumped even slightly… for all these square corners to be perfectly intact indicates to me very advanced stonemasonry to say the least. & then consider moving them?!! People don’t realise what this weight entails when using such a hard yet fragile material

    • @Jack9N
      @Jack9N 2 года назад +213

      @@xisotopex correct, it’s unreliable. All natural stone that I cut including granite comes with a layer of fibreglass glued to the underside. This is to stop it caving in on itself where there is a gap in cabinetry and where someone may apply weight. For example if I had a 20/30mm thick 2.5m long x 0.4m wide benchtop and had 2 guys pick it up flat from each end it’d almost certainly break somewhere, if it was 0.6m wide it might hold together, probably not though. Marble is the same, but softer, limestones one of the worst/most difficult to keep intact. We lift everything we can with vacuum lifts, & if we can’t, we carry on edge never flat. If I could grab a hammer and just lay into the face of a piece I could smash into small bits easily, it’d just break on the veins. Cutting and shaping without fault is very hard but breaking it is generally very easy.

    I've worked in construction even diamond drilling and sawing for 15 years and even with today's technology it's extremely difficult to obtain that level of precision and they seem to be able to do it with ease on a massive scale it's unbelievable to me.
    Thanks for all the likes and comments first of all. My observation of disbelief has come from my experience of working in concrete cutting, working with big blocks of reinforced concrete with 40mm steel rebar. No where has any historian or scientist explained how they could cut rose granite with such precision thousands of years ago the most amazing examples of this to me are the stone boxes of the Serapeum of Saqqara let alone how they got the boxes into place. Also to the comments suggesting these blocks where cast or poured that technology does not exist in terms of creating granite or rose granite or any impermeable rock due to the pressures required only found in geological nature.
    Sorry if I didn't reply to any comments, having read though the discussion from my initial comment I am humbled to have opened such a debate. Peace 👌

    heres an interesting thought:
    assuming that each stone in the pyramid was 1 meter (the avg height) and assuming that they were all in form of a cube (for simplicity sake), how long it would take to cut 2.5 million limestones at 4mm/hour rate:
    Each stone is 1 meter in length.
    You want to cut a 1 meter cube from each stone.
    The cube will have dimensions of 1 meter x 1 meter x 1 meter.
    First, let's calculate the volume of a single stone that needs to be cut into a 1 meter cube:
    Volume of stone = 1 meter x 1 meter x 1 meter = 1 cubic meter
    Now, you want to cut 2.5 million stones into 1 cubic meter cubes:
    Total volume of stone to be cut = 2.5 million stones * 1 cubic meter per stone = 2.5 million cubic meters
    Given that it takes 1 hour to cut through 4 millimeters of stone, we need to convert the volume of stone to the equivalent thickness in millimeters:
    1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic millimeters (since 1 meter = 1000 millimeters)
    Total volume in millimeters = 2.5 million cubic meters * 1,000,000 cubic millimeters per cubic meter = 2.5 * 10^12 cubic millimeters
    Now, we need to find out how many 4-millimeter layers can be cut from this total volume:
    Number of layers = Total volume in millimeters / Thickness of each layer in millimeters
    Number of layers = 2.5 * 10^12 / 4 = 625 * 10^9 layers
    Since each layer takes 1 hour to cut, the total time required in hours:
    Total time = Number of layers * Time per layer
    Total time = 625 * 10^9 hours
    So, it would take approximately 625 billion hours to cut 2.5 million stones into 1 cubic meter cubes using the given cutting rate.
    625 billion hours / 24 hours/day = approximately 26.04 billion days
    So, 625 billion hours is approximately equivalent to 26.04 billion days.
    I guess something's wrong.

The method of sawing with sand and water has been used for thousands of years and can be speeded up a lot with skilled workers. But achieving accuracy is absolutely impossible with this method.

      You can see the chip marks in the limestone, that has the chip marks from tools 6:13 into the video. They used bronze, and the bronze work hardens to that of a medium carbon steel, so I can believe them working sandstone and lime stone but eventually bronze will start to breakdown and fall apart after it work hardens to much, so they must of gone through a lot of bronze picks and or chisels, however I find it very doubtful they used bronze to work pink granite since granite is a lot harder which is and 8 on the mohs scale of hardness, 10 being as hard as diamond and 1 being as hard as talc, so granite is an 8, and high carbon steel is an 8, but work hardened bronze is 6 to 6.5. so the bronze would not cut into the granite to chip it away. This means they used something else. What, no one knows ?

      I've seen a few videos that show the tiny grooves in hard rock bore holes found in Egypt are not striations but continuous, like the grooves on a phonograph record. This practically shouts the tool used cutting these holes was cutting into the stone at such a rate it did not repeat itself but continuously kept cutting "down". This takes strong pressure, and a hard, durable cutting head to do, something we can barely do even today with all our modern equipment...there is a great lapse in our understanding the technology ancient Egyptians used here. However, the even greater mystery, to me anyway, is not the boring machine itself, but the necessary technology needed to build such machines. Not only are all these machines missing, but the machines used to build these machines is absent as well, as is the supportive operating manuals, be they papyrus scrolls, clay tablets, or even inscriptions on temple walls. All this technology, along with the widespread industry and its associated tools needed for it have vanished...like someone said "Pack all this up and take it away so that it can never ever be found." That, or, perhaps, the time period when all this technology was being used was somewhat earlier than what we consider as classic "Egyptian"; pre-dynastic or, "Zep Tepi. That is an epoch prior to when the first Egyptians started keeping records, like the Abydos King.
      In geology, there is single layer of rock one can see, can touch separateing rock typically less than 500 million years old from rock well over a billion or more years old. This is called The Great Unconformity; where the geology exists it can be found on continents the world over. It represents many millions of years of rocks long lost to erosion, vanished into grains of sand water washed or wind-blown away. It is not impossible for my mind to likewise consider something much the same exists here when it comes to the activities of humans in Egypt...and many other places the world over: there are gaps in our history so great that all evidence has been lost to history, we are only left with a few of examples, shards, of all that went on way-back-then. Perhaps we are not yet looking in the right places; the oceans, coastlines were much lower thousands of years ago. Developing the technology to build the tools to comprehensively explore coastlines now 300 to 400 feet below the ocean might be something established academia does not want to explore? There are many places we might look but have yet to do so: where did the Nile flow, say, 12,000 to 50,000 years (or ever further) ago...methodically explore the river bottom there for artifacts, or, the now drowned river delta of the ancient Nile, or, those drowned river delta's from rivers no longer extant that once flowed into the Mediterranean further West from the Nile in what is now Libya.

      Yes this structure represents something most impossible. You would be interested in the Moon, Earth ratio conveyed in the measurement of the Great Pyramid (and Stonehenge) and also the fact it is a perfect scale model of the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth.
      There are hundreds of impossible anomalies. Pi, Phi, and the Golden section is closed in it's basic measurements, and every 2 seconds, the Earth turns the exact distance of one of the sides of the Great Pyramid. The engineers obviously knew of Geodesy and the exact size and shape of the Earth. Let's not even get into the transport of hundred ton stones hundreds of miles when these people supposedly were naked butt cloth wearing simpletons.

Since the times of old, there have been people from all around the world that have felt such a calling from Egypt that they become obsessed with going, seeing, exploring, learning. I haven't seen that level of obsession with anything besides dinosaurs. There's so much we don't know, and if we ever hope to, we need these people to keep asking questions. And in my mind, I agree with you completely: they are Egyptian just as you are. It is where they belong, want to be, and where we need them. Much love 🙌❤

    The mystery is bigger than that expressed here. Add to it that this precision, the shape of stones and many other aspects are duplicated around the world in structures that are of the same era, yet there is no record anywhere that the civilizations involved had any interaction with each other. In Peru, there are examples of where the Inca made additions to these structures where the newer masonry suggests the original technology simply vanished and they werent even able to come close to reproducing the presicion or any aspect of the design. The newer additions are representative of what we would expect to see using hand tools, completely contrasting the original structure. It is obvious to me that who ever had created the technology simply ceased to exist along with the knowledge.

What's scary is we know next to nothing about the civilizations that predate the Mayans who probably suffered the same cycle of peak and decline until they too just disappear or are absorbed by a civilization on the rise.

    I worked with a Hungarian stonemason who was in his late 50’s. He said in Lebanon many years ago, stone masons would spend their entire working lives on one single column. So for what it’s worth, the conclusion I derived from speaking with him was: The ancients weren’t concerned about time like we are today. Imagine that people dedicated their lives to just one piece of this giant construction and the accuracy was more important than how long it took to make it. However that concept still doesn’t answer many questions regarding lifting and setting these massive blocks, but it may solve at least the problem of timeline if we think of it in lifetimes as opposed to decades.

In order for these structures to keep their integrity through high temperatures, environmental effects, and the lack of upkeep these had to be made extremely well. Furthermore, as depicted in the video, no bronze tools are capable of making timely and close-precision lines in these massive stones, much less the transportation of said blocks that very likely are heavier before being made to "specification" to fit to the other blocks.

The seam on the first one was a lot better than the later. What we see here in this video is incredible. Cannot be explained.

It has some relatively interesting connections that support it, but I have done essentially no actual research on the topic, so I am 100% not qualified to say if it's even plausible. Though I 100% would actually like it to be true, because it conveniently explains a LOT of things about the ancient world. Some would say that it's way too neat to be true though.

Probably the deal is they get to experiment on us and our planet doesn't get invaded or blown to pieces, plus certain governments get special tech from them. Don't ask, don't tell, said every alien, I mean every government ever... I also think the ancient Egyptians were eventually either wiped out or allowed to travel far from Earth by the same aliens who gave them the technology to do these astonishing things and yes, it's a water and sound frequency they used all over the place possibly along with building portals to far off places in space.

    Very good pictures of the almost invisible joints. One thing that this megalithic technology brings on is the fact that this culture made statues in large scale depicting what we would associate with the oldest dynasty Egyptians - which can't be right. The later Egyptians must have copied the look of these statues with the cobra in the crown for their pharaohs and adapted their cultural history to that ancient look. Have we ever with certainty found a written language from those megalithic builders at all? - or was the symbolic language of the hieroglyphs developed later. There is a strange overlap in the current history between the megalithic culture and the writing in Egypt, partially caused by the primitive writing on sophisticated sculptures, but as far as I can see there's no evidence of the two being contemporaneous at any point. It looks as if the megalithic culture didn't leave anything in writing and no tools. This - either clean cut - or perhaps a short overlap - is a professional study worthy, but I don't see it done.

      It helps to have 10s or 100s of 1000s of slaves working 24/7 for decades at the prime of their lives / strength and who become experts at the work within a few months because that is all they do. Yes they were cutting fast, at least faster than 2 old men who've never held a saw before, incapable or choosing not to put much muscle into it to conserve energy. I don't think the ancient Egyptians would allow such slow, unmotivated work like we see in the video clip of the two men with the saw, water, and sand (and they just learned / experimented with those techniques that 1 day, the Egyptians had centuries of experience with this, they probably knew the exact amount of sand and water and how often to add more down to a near or complete science after a few decades of doing this).
      People try to make the pyramids seem larger than life and that there has to be some mystery technology or even alien involvement in their construction. I don't see why this is necessary at all. Shitloads of slave labour, eventual expertise at the craft, using young men who only do this all the time, rather than old archeologists picking up a saw for the first time in their lives and going extremely slow because they're old and out in the heat and may pull a muscle or have a heart attack going faster, lol, like that example was such a poor representation of what ancient Egyptian slave labour work probably looked like. The slaves would not have been allowed to work that slowly and unambitiously, they'd be whipped or worse and when the choice is between working to exhaustion and pulling a muscle or something, when you're a young man and just want to survive another day, yeah, you're gonna work harder than two old archeologists. Perhaps the cutters worked in teams of 4, so 2 work at cutting for 30 minutes straight, then take 30 minutes off, do that for 12 hours, then a new team who has had 12 hours of rest takes over for another 12 hours... Why all of this isn't clear as day to literally everyone, I had no clue. They proved that you CAN cut the stones with the saw, sand, and water, and they figured that out in one day and got 4 inches. Add centuries of mastering and experimenting with different amounts of sand and water and possibly some kind of oil/lubricant too, and what's so hard to believe if two old men with zero experience managed 4 inches in "a day" which probably was 6 or 8 hours of actual work, rather than 24 hours since those dudes look like they'd have died if they actually worked for 24 hours straight on that stone. 24 hours straight of young men, knowing exactly what they're doing, with centuries of knowledge of how to do it taught to them and years of hands on work doing it, I think they could manage more than 4 inches in a day, probably several feet could be accomplished, and you don't just have one team, they'd have had 100s or 1000s of teams doing this for literally decades straight.
      The stone cutting to me isn't hard to believe at all. The precision is very impressive, but I bet there was a lot of trial and error there too, they didn't get it precise on the first try, at least probably not usually, but if you mess up then you can re-use the same stone, making a new cut several inches above your old cut, and try to get it straight enough the next time around. Rinse and repeat, don't need a whole brand new stone, you use the one that is there and take just a small amount off to make it fit as precisely as has been dictated, and not every stone is PERFECT like he shows, many clearly are not this precise, so its not like that precision was mandated for every single stone, perhaps it just worked out that way often enough because they did demand near perfection, so often enough you'll end up with perfection. None of this is that difficult for me to wrap my mind around, I think people just drastically under-estimate the abilities of ancient people, slave labour, and what decades of construction and centuries of experience / knowledge handed down about 1 single culturally important thing can achieve. We think of construction in terms of months or a year or two today. The Egyptians were thinking in terms of decades. They easily could have spent a whole decade pre-cutting stones for the pyramids / major structures, and continued the cutting work endlessly once actual construction began as well, plus the final fit/finishing cuts at the actual construction site to correct the stones that weren't cut within the margins that were mandated. They likely had their best and most experienced stone cutters at the actual site of installation, and less experienced ones were doing the cutting however many miles away the quarries were.
      To me this all simply makes sense. People just love a mystery and want to believe something larger than life or some technology better than we have today was at work, totally discounting what 100,000s of experienced people, experts in one, ancient thing, with ancient tech, can acheive, over the course of many decades... Modern people can't wrap their minds around all of this, and prefer to think there has to be more of an explanation and possibly ALIENS HELPED OMG SO COOL RIGHT?!?!

I can imagine the industry required for those buildings and cities. NO WAY with "regular" processes. I have seen a mountain, which was missing half of its top, literally. A really weird sight, btw. I estimate the missing volume for that of around one large pyramid. But that marble has been cut out in CENTURIES, the last two of which on industrial scale. The quarrying effort for all of Egypt's stone is unimaginable, in my estimation the whole people of Egypt would have needed centuries - while doing nothing else. The "energy balance" just doesn't work out. There MUST have been a very high degree of machining and "automatisation", in quarrying as well as in transport/logistic.

      Egypt has a lot of interesting historical mysteries ! Everyone wants to know "Who built the pyramids?" It is said that one of the pyramids is built at a spot in such a way that any time of the day - that pyramid ( The Pyramid of Giza ) does not cast a shadow. What kind of mathematical calculations were needed to build such a pyramid at that exact specific spot to accomplish that ? How did the pyramid builders know and survey and find such a place ?

    I would love for Archeology to take this part seriously, and look at the contact surfaces to detect how much of the rock actually touches. For example, if done by hand there would me little curves, or micro air pockets between the surfaces of the rocks lying on top of each other. If it's like 99% exact, to where there's no deviation that would be mind blowing. Today we get a perfect cut with a machine, but human hands and eyes could never get it that straight.

    Temperature extremes can cause granite to split. I figured this out once while having a campfire next to a granite boulder. When it was time to leave, to be on the safe side I poured water onto the fire. This quick change caused the granite to sheer, and it did so in fairly flat sheets. Just having a fire on one in the winter has the same effect as the fire cools the air causes the rock to sheer off.

      This type of technology is what Nikola Tesla was working on when his work was confiscated by the government. It involved a large copper disk set underground in the water table, involved ionization, and a tower to conduct the charge.

There's also a guy who believes the stones were all floated into place with air bladders. A huge water tube of sorts ran up the sides. I would think the water pressure at the base would have been far greater than a wooden sluice could hold, not to mention the need for pumping water to a height of 400 feet.

For me that explains these impossible drill holes etc. It may originally have been working with a soft material.. it might be an explanation to all this crazy stone work, the drill holes, the angles,the insane weight and the Scoop marks... if so.. how old are these things!? Or did they under go rapid petrification thanks to the conditions of the younger dryas disaster? Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Maybe we are actually looking at imprints ..a shell of what was there .."so close you can't fit paper into them" maybe cause they might be petrified and it's just an imprint left over..

    Usually the simplest explanation is the answer. The ancients had the ability to mold granite like we mold cement.

You can have laborers breaking it up, transport tons per shipment and then form and cast it in place. Thousands of years later it's near impossible to tell the difference. But if you take a BB and place it under a stone block and allow it to bear the weight, it will crack the stone. Therefore cutting the stone block in multiple perfect facets seems impossible compared to casting it in place.

    It's truly impressive. I've worked with granite and stone a long time, almost 20 years. I have marveled at this as well, but I also saw a video where archaeologists took a long copper blade exactly like the ones found in ancient Egypt, poured sand on it while 2 of them pulled out back and forth, and cut halfway through one of those blocks in about 20 minutes leaving a laser precision straight cut. Sometimes things are a lot easier than you think when you know how it's done. I also met a guy once who used to work on the construction of churches and cathedrals. He started talking about constructing stain glass windows with arches that are 60 ft in height and how much precision and symmetry is involved. He grabbed a piece of cardboard and started sketching and explaining exactly how you calculate it, and it clicked with me, I was like THAT'S how they made those statues in Egypt perfectly symmetrical. Sometimes things are a lot easier than you think when you know how it's done. There's also a man in Ohio who demonstrated he could construct a replica of Stonehenge and lift megaton blocks and place them on top of others very high in the air, by himself with no one helping him. He says if it works for 1 lb it works for 100,000 lbs. He does it on video and shows you how he does it. He's on RUclips. Sometimes things are a lot easier than you think when you know how it's done.
