      Love your video as usual! Nothing new to me here but it is one of the best summaries on the subject I've seen. Awesome!
      I'd like to give 1 piece of feedback though. On 52:20 you state "conclusively" twice. Followed by "this is my opinion". Those two don't go together well at all.
      On these subject I think it's really important to give great care on how you distinguish fact from theory or opinion. You do that very very well in general but I think any flaws there should be addressed. Proof is proof, theory is theory, opinion is opinion. I know that you in this case only weaken your own argument but that's besides the point. Again, don't take this the wrong way, it's no critique per se, just well-intended feedback, something to possibly stay focussed on.
      I care a great deal for this area of communication, since I then know how to interpret information. One of the reasons I value you, Bright Insight and many others.

    As the owner of an exploration diamond drilling company, and as an experienced driller, I can tell you that that is indeed an impressive penetration rate in granite. Current modern penetration rates vary greatly depending on the material and in consideration that we must preserve the bit to drill 100s of meters in one hole and that the goal of the whole operation is to recover the core, the hole is just a by-product. But .005" per rev is a good average.
    It's impressive, that is, IF the the groove was made while the hole was being cut, or, on the way in, so to speak. One thing that has not been mentioned: The spiral groove could have been made by a diamond that had moved in it's mounting and cut the groove while the tool was being WITHDRAWN from the hole at a fairly constant rate while still turning. Much less impressive force would be required to achieve this because it is merely scratching a groove on a core that has already been cut. The same effect might be seen while withdrawing a tool that became bent or damaged during cutting process while still turning. I frequently see such impressive marks on core samples we recover that are caused by a similar effect (tool flex).

    It is very likely diamond that was used. Nothing else is hard enough to cut granite efficiently. Diamond is about 10 times harder than the next hardest thing. (Let's stick with known materials)
    Many of these holes and cores exhibit striations but it's unclear if they or spiral or not. I'll note that it's very common in modern diamond drilling to see non-spiral striations on both the core and the hole wall, due to vibration, tool flex, etc.
    I'll also mention that cutting rock generates a lot of cuttings (fine rock dust) and heat. These are both removed in modern drilling by a constant flow of water pumped down the inside of the drill rods to flow past the bit to cool it and carry the cuttings back up between the outside of the drill rods and the hole wall to the surface. This flow rate for the equipment we use must be about 40L per minute. If this flow is interrupted even briefly while drilling is in progress, the metal matrix holding the diamonds in the bit will melt and deform, destroying the bit and sometimes sticking the entire drill string in the hole.
    I find this all very fascinating and fully agree that there is a huge information vacuum regarding how all of this drilling and what is most definitely machining was achieved.
    Those in this field who don't understand rock hardness or what is required to achieve precision or are unable to even recognize it are missing the boat!

    I'll note that there are some very smart and experienced people in the diamond core bit industry that might be able to contribute to an explanation to this problem.
    Please continue this excellent work and thanks!

      Excellent point. I do NOT own a drilling company but I have used many different drills and drilled 1in to 3 inch holes in concrete slabs and THIS was the first thing that came to mind when watching this video. “Could the spiral groove have been made on exit?” . However the uniformity of the spiral gives me pause to still think heavy machinery was involved in the process. I think we need more core samples to compare to, in order to make a definitive shut case for high technology.

    I just came across your videos on Egyptian machining. I am a 74-year-old geologist with undergraduate work in archeology. The whole controversy about who what and when reminds me all too well of the controversies that existed in geology prior to the discovery of upwelling magma and subsequent movement of continents in the seventies. As an exploration geologist I had to consider all known and potential explanations for observations on the ground. Many many times the reason why discoveries were made at the time, and not before, was because of the same situation you war running into with the academicians. People's reputations are not based on synthesis of all data but on pre-selected and pre-published propositions and explanations of insufficiently supported "facts." Unfortunately this is true across science that is produced by those whose renumeration is based on publications and fame and not by production of some valuable commodity, be it physical or intellectual.
    Good luck as you go forward with your questioning and investigations of these ancient artifacts. Continental drift was scorned for at least 60 years by those who "knew better." When the truth was revealed and accepted all manner of geologic mechanisms were finally understood, not because they weren't there before but because there was no context into which to examine them.

    This is a very well argued and put together piece of work, a lot of hard work went in to researching and producing it. Simple facts and evidence speak for themselves and it's given with in a well spoken, concise manner, never needing to rude, or aggressive towards accademia just inviting and incredulous that the mainstream aren't more eager to try and discover evidence & knowledge about things that don't fit with their "theory".

    Your videos certainly justify my own belief that these Egyptian structures (and so many others around the world, like the dolmas, Stone Henge, etc.) were made using technology far more advanced than anything that is suggested by tools known to be used during the bronze age. What that technology is, however, does indeed remain a mystery and that holds my imagination firmly.

  • @jameskelly9800
    @jameskelly9800 Год назад +11

    Some points that might be addressed elsewhere in the voluminous comments...I have several years of diamond "tube drill" experience as a construction worker. Cores sometimes break off during drilling. When drilling deeper we would break off cores with a whack of a hammer or use a chisel as a wedge. Longer/deeper cores break off easier thanks to their length. I'm sure a wooden wedge would snap a 2 or 3 inch core of a foot long or so...ditto using a copper or bronze wedge. Also, a medium is necessary for removing the drilling dust. Note the water hose in your short takes on the Hilti. Without the continued flow of water down through the tube drill cooling the bit and flushing away the debris the drill will either over heat and self destruct or bind up solidly in the hole. I have seen both. Cooling of the bit and flushing away of drill dust are essential. Had the Nova experimenters poured water and fine abrasive down through the center of the bit I'm sure they would have been more successful. This would explain the taper of the core as well. Consider that the spirals were made during the removal of a stuck bit being rotated while being pulled out. Otherwise they should be continuous along the core. No matter what the technology used to drill, primitive or advanced, the tools must exist in the physical record somewhere, we may just not understand what we're looking at, or what we're looking for.

    Since I am mentioned 49:50 in the video, some background to this core study may be of interest. I am a geologist (not an engineer) with a background hammering rocks (including a lot of granite) in the field and describing many cores cut with diamond bits. Visits to the Egyptian room in the British Museum caused me to wonder how pharaonic granite workers in the Nile Valley created the wide range of stone artifacts on display. They had worked on every scale from large columns to engraving heiroglyphics on quartzite, even harder than granite. That this was accomplished with primitive tools is quite staggering.
    I became aware of Petrie’s core and discussed it online with Chris Dunn who had a similar interest. When he was in London 2003 we arranged to meet at the Petrie Museum in UCL, where I had arranged privileged access to the core. We measured the core and wrapped cotton thread carefully around the apparently continuous grooves. (Surface roughness caused some difficulty with this but the grooves appeared to be of uniform depth). Chris Dunn agreed to publish the description but we lost touch after that. I am pleased that youtube has brought his careful investigations of this subject matter to a wider audience.

    • @UnchartedX

      Mr McClure, thank you so much for the comment - and for your role in arranging this investigation. I completely understand how you felt seeing those quartzite aritfacts and columns, it's exactly the same wondering 'how did a primitive culture do this' that originally started me down this path. As you can tell I found it all very fascinating and have tried to help to tell to the story to those who might not have read Chris Dunn's book. If ever I get the opportunity (and backing) I think there are several cores, including Petrie's, that could be examined with modern 3D laser scanning and metrology techniques.

      I think the core is a prime candidate for laser scanning into a 3D model. Absolutely no harm could come to it, and a 3D model could be examined in tremendous detail in ways the original cannot.
      For instance, on the top of the model core, draw a line from the center of the top to the edge of the side of the core (in other words, demarcate a radius of the core's circular cross section). Then extend this line as a plane down through the height of the core. The outer edge will show the grooves as a series of notches. Now rotate the slice radially, sweeping around through the model on its vertical axis. If the grooves spiral around the core, the notches in the edge of the cross section will appear to march down (or up, depending on the direction of the sweep) the side of the core. If the grooves are horizontal, they will only appear to wobble.

Re the chap trying to replicate the tube drilling. Did it not occur to him that the distance of the gap between the solid drilled tube and the inside of the hole was far bigger than the Egyptians managed? Obviously not, when, amongst other things, steel drifts are used to separate the core from the base of the hole. Your comment about this just confirmed what I immediately thought.

    I am so thankful to have finally found a zero hype, non-sensationalistic channel that is dealing with the subject of predeluvian technology. Your matter-of-fact presentation is very refreshing! I was a machinist and am familiar with feed rates, tool load, tool spring, etc... To be honest tho, I have to point out that a tool can be removed from a cut much faster than when it is actually cutting. If you are working on an engine lathe and reach the end of a cut (toward the head stock), it is easy to move the tool to the tail stock with a few turns of the longitudinal feed wheel. This leaves a groove in the material (the result of tool spring being lessened) that has a very rapid twist. Such as 5 revolutions in 3 feet of travel. I'm just mentioning this as it crossed my mind when that rapid of a feed rate was presented. I'm subscribing to your channel, cant wait to see more. Thankyou.

    I was a concrete cutter for over 10 years (Although more supervisory for about half) But My Point, concrete cures no where near as hard as granite or some of the river stones I would sometimes see in the cores I removed. And I could tell when they were present, they would slow the drill down almost as much as rebar. The core drills were coated with industrial diamond and would cut through most anything given a bit of lubrication and cooling.
    The Problem is the Diamond core drills left everything they cut through very smooth, the tool marks would have to be viewed with a microscope to see any individual line or striations. The diamond core drills as good as they were could not hog-out material fast enough to leave a single spiral tool mark that indicated that these cores were created with tools that removed around 3/10" per rotation whereas the would make 20ish revolutions of the diamond drill to do that in much softer concrete.

      I supervise rock core drilling, currently drilling Quartzite in South Wales, UK, the scoring on the material beng drilled is directly related to the rotation speed and force applied to the bit. light pressure and high speed leave marks so small that the material becomes essentially polished (I have 2 chuncks of polished quartzite on my desk at home that I pulled from a core box). Essentially if you had a corer or tube drill that was loaded up with weight and turned by say men walking round in a circle, you would see the clearly defined helical groves cut into the material. this rotation method would also explain why the cuts in the quartz was no less deep as that in the mica as the turning force applied by say 4 humans would be immense. the drill would probably rely just as much on the force pushing it down as the rotation speed but would still require a material like diamond or at the very least steal,

      ​@@Pabloworldwide A proposal... why not to try to listen to what the ancient people themselves have to say about the subject. Ninive's archives (just to take one example) say a lot and speaks with the untampered voices of Sumerian people of thousands of years ago... same goes for the Indian and Egyptian cultures, even if for those, the occasion for a first-hand account is rare because of the medium used in writing.
      Mainstream mark as "myth" everything that doesn't fit the common narrative, telling that the ancient people were wasting precious time, money and resources to write fairytales... because that is what it should be if the mainstream fake-scientists (real science is the opposite to dogma... who refuse peer-review is an impostor and not Scientist) and let the "religion" issue where it is: the concept of "god" as we know today is a direct derivation from the Greek "Theoi" and just to mark the point, there is not even the term of "god" as we understand it, in Hebrew, Aramaic, Babylonian or Sumerian... at best is goes as "supreme ruler" until the Sumerian Anunna which are people in flesh and bone.
      About raise and decline of civilizations: If you have not yet got the opportunity, I suggest the reading of "Limits to Growth" (D. Meadows) that explain the reports of a quite exhaustive study of the various factors that concur to the rise and decline of high-technological civilizations.... with a quite unsurprising forecast for what we can expect very shortly given the lemming-attitude that humanity has taken.

    Spiral grooves would require a CONSTANT rotation in one direction. The back and forth rotation demonstrated in the PBS exercise could not create the observed spiral.
    Like making threads in a nut or on a bolt, the feed must be constant and the rotation even. Abom79, This Old Tony, Keith Rucker and many other RUclipsrs demonstrate this well in metal machining.
    Also consider that, as with a drill bit, the tool would have to allow for evacuation of the "chips" (waste material). The drill bit (better analog is a tap for threading) must have the flutes spiraling up the tool to move these spoils and make room for the tool. Hard to imagine a fluted core drill. Thus the width of the groove between the core and the wall of the hole must accommodate the tool and the removed material. This might explain the slightly conical shape.
    Great video! I can't wait for the next one!

      Constant rotation and a groove cut in a single pass is only one of the ways to cut a spiral groove. You can also do it with a series of short movements, as long as there's some sort of guide, which is not totally inconceivable if you're trying to do something similar to a hammer drill.
      Also, if they were using some technique that produces spiral grooves by it's nature, how many other cores are showing spiral grooves? Is this one core special? If so, why? How does the mechanics change if this is an aberrant piece, and the groove was created while removing or re-inserting the drill?

    • @kerageous1502
      @kerageous1502 5 лет назад +3

      The only way to evacuate the waste would be an air compression hose . No person could provide that power through natural lungs- elephants? No. Could it be evacuated by water? Still need compression power which seems an endeavor. What nobody really seems to speculate on is what is the real purpose of some of these random drill holes that at are just all over without a structural meaning.

    • @EddieTheGrouch
      @EddieTheGrouch 4 года назад +4

      ​@@redwoodcoast Yeah, the waste material issue is my sticking point with all the theories (can't spell the H word). A single point tool at a feed rate of 0.1" per revolution isn't producing a fine powder that can be flushed out through such narrow confines between the tool and walls at such depths as the core is in length. Same with an ultrasonic bit that small and powerful where any waste would hamper further cutting. That leaves only two options in my teeny mind to comprehend and both stipulate that a rigid structural tube is not used at all. One is a rotating water or slurry jet which would allow for evacuation of the material and maybe produce a spiral groove as collateral damage. However, they say that embedded softer material was not effected in the way we'd expect. The other is a rotating laser or beam that vaporized the waste as it progressed. The variations in the groove could be due to material density at the point of ignition or localized interference to the beam like reflection from evacuating gases and such. Both are outside the realm of our ability let alone copper and bronze wielding ancestors. More likely than not there was an advanced group that died off or phoned the Intergalactic Auto Club and got a ride home. Random holes could merely be test and calibration runs or use of a tool the wrong size (not that any of us have ever made a dozen 1/4" holes to hack out a 2" cavity) because the one you needed was in the charger or borrowed by Ixtl who hadn't returned it, yet. Maybe items overlooked and left behind were used by whoever found them to make a few things or bore random holes in things (because that's what people do) until they stopped working or did some real damage and the parents or village elders wrestled them away and had them destroyed as too dangerous for the likes of themselves or their enemies.

    I am fascinated by the revelations described. The research you and others have carried out is mind boggling. I would like to make a suggestion as to how the ancients managed to work such materials. Could it not be possible for them (the materials) to have been softer when first quarried thousands of years ago and for them to have age hardened, as happens with some metals, into the state we see them today. 😮

    • @Simon-ho6ly
      @Simon-ho6ly Год назад

      With most materials like basalt, granite etc there is no change in hardness over time.. you only see some changes with sedimentary rocks which may dry out somewhat after quarrying but this can make them harder, OR softer...
      If anything these blocks that have been exposed to the elements for thousands of years may actually be somewhat weaker because of weathering, sun exposure, thermal cycles and so on

    This is a wonderful study and I hope that much more is done, in the search for answers about how so much stone was worked before modern metals and industrial diamonds became common. And I understand that even modern diamond techknowledgy can not come close to what was done eons ago. Back in the 70's while taking a sculpture course I tried my hand at carving some granite.
    I remember my chisel bouncing back off the stone with a loud ringing noise. I was a big guy with plenty of heft, but I was barely making a mark, much less than carving away at the stone the way I was used to limestone carving. Later I was told that freshly mined granite has a higher moisture content, and that the old sun-dried piece I was working was not what "monument carvers" would use. The super dried-out granite laying out in the Egyptian sun for countless years may be the worst kind of granite to experiment with. Try some fresh stone, then have a look at the tool-marks.

    The Egyptians have a well-established record of re-writing their history; the Pharaohs did it all the time! Also, the Egyptians themselves practically admit this, and speak of inheriting their civilisation from those who came before. Its obvious as to why they would claim the superior work of their forebears as their own. It also explains why the Egyptian works get worse over time not better and why there is no clear record as to how the dynastic Egyptians actually constructed these megaliths and artifacts. Also, the claim of institutional archeology that prior to 5-6000 years ago we were simply stick-wielding, hunter-gatherers who suddenly, seemingly overnight, got the inspiration and knowledge to be able to build the great megaliths we see all over the world like the Pyramids, is laughably absurd!

      Well, mainstream quackademia got one thing right at least, there were tribal hunter-gatherer societies in those days, just like there are a few isolated ones in our current civ cycle. But that is the only thing they got right. The dynastic egyptians did what any leader would to strengthen his position: take credit for someone else's achievement and ride the wave of success. The reason why their works diminished in quality drastically over time is simply that the advanced tools of their ancestors broke down and they had no idea how to fix them or reverse engineer them.

However, I’m having a hard time finding details backing this point other than one or two stone pillars which show many kings or Pharaoh’s outside the current mainstream Egyptology given timeline. I cannot find a video you have made detailing the Egyptians own timelines or much literature on the topic outside mainstream Egyptology despite people like Graham Hancock and others claiming “Egyptian’s own timelines date back thousands of years before the dynastic period through their own records” Can you or anyone point me to detailed evidence of this longer timeline through hieroglyphs?
