    Janna, at your 16:00 mark, you two are discussing wood or granite for the 52 ton weight, you need both. When you jack up a car to work under it, if you use blocks to act as stands, you will also use a wooden block between the frame of the vehicle and the brick as brick cracks and fails. The wood may deform but it won't critically fail, allowing it to more evenly distribute the load on the main brick or stone support.

      He didn't figure anything out, he just made up a theory from his imagination and some basic physics from things he knew. And it's not even a coherent/complete theory. It is in fact not much different from the official theory (which of course is BS).
      In reality there can't be existence of anything without "magic" (not to be confused with the fairy-tale version). The ancient people knew that, harnessed the power of creation and used it to their advantage.
      Your masters want you to dwell in materialism and not understand how anything works, so that you stay an ignorant slave forever. They simply took that ancient knowledge and hid it from the "commoners" (us). That's why they keep pushing egyptology and all the historical narratives and dogmas that come with it.
      Guy may have good intentions with his theory, but it is complete bunk.

    I always thought it was strange how the djed pillar is shown all over Egypt in art work, but I’ve never seen an actual 3d djed pillar that was of any substantial size. They’re usually trinket size. If they were an important part of building the monuments, then wouldn’t there be more of them left for us to study? It’s also strange that those white basins were only found in Abu Sir. If they were as fundamental as the djed pillar in construction, then wouldn’t there also be more of those left at other sites? It really sucks that those bowls are not in their original positions. It would have helped understanding their purpose if they were still in place.

  • @Valkyrie_71
    @Valkyrie_71 Год назад +22

    Hmm.. idk. Certainly they used rope and pully systems to move and maneuver heavy stones, perhaps aiding the pivot method. There's a video you can look up demonstrating how one man can move and spin a multi ton stone block this way by using weights, counter-balances, and wedges to raise it.. but i am not sure that these alabaster bowls were used in this manner.
    The weight of the granite would crush the delicate stone wouldn't it? Especially when tugging ropes in this manner. The bottoms of the Djed pillars are square so how does that work efficiently, or without showing wear and tear?
    What if the bowls didnt have to have any special important purpose, either ritualistic or practical?
    Imagine if they were simply just communal wash basins, used to clean up dusty hands and faces, refresh, hydrate, wet down clothing to keep cool.
    Water running into them through the holes and draining off the single one to prevent overflow. A water feature with continuous flowing water. Copper is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and would have been perfect for purifying water.

      Contrary to popular belief granite is not really much different in weight to limestone.
      It is simply stronger for the same volune and weight due to the crystalline structure of the stone formed in a very different process to sedimentary rocks.

      Only that they didn't use wheels for transportation.
      There is possible indication that they used the wheel for other kinds of work like a potters wheel.
      The earliest incontrovertible evidence that they were using wheels for transport is the evolution of the chariot during the Hyksos period.
      Archaeologists work in evidence based absolutes and seldom speculate about possibilities beyond idle commentary outside of published works.
      Trust me if an archaeologist found a 5,000 year old wagon wheel and the evidence was found to be not faked they would be the toast of the community in 30 seconds flat.
      That being said, Egypt is full of sand - which is not so great for wheeled transportation unless you have a very wide wheelbase and a well reinforced axle to compensate for sudden shifts in elevation on the sands.
      When you look at the super thin width of the wheels on Tutankhamun's burial goods war chariot you can infer that they were not using wheels anywhere near so thicc even that late in dynastic history.

      But if youre building something to honour your feeling of awe at attempting to understand the universe, you may find yourself wanting to build something very special.
      And even those things can only survive the test of time if theyre made of stone- and in a very sturdy fashion!

Ditto for the much hyped star-shafts and their connection with "the ascent of the soul" and other such fabulous nonsense.

    That just is not possible in that time period.

    Why were people just starting civilization obsessed with building massive structures?
    Why start there?
    Well, in my mind, clearly they were not who we think they were. They were far more advanced than we realize.

The bottom pillar just like the ankh handle is the column of light reflecting on the surface below the horizon when the sun is above the line, also associated to high and summer.

    I believe that it is possible the ancient Egyptians used something like this to move heavy objects, but I still believe from all the amounting evidence, that there was a much older advanced civlization that created the pyramids and other advanced stone structures. I have the feeling that such an advanced civilization, given the amount of science and mathmatics used in The Great Pyramid as a direct example of their abilities, that such an advanced people would use something similar or technology beyond what we currently use, to move heavy objects.
    One other thing that has been mentioned before that I will reiterate, is that ancient hieroglyphics most likely are a second hand writing form on ruins / artifacts not from the original builders. If those original builders did write anything on their constructions, it was probably on metal that was originally on the stones, which was either taken off by a later civilization or was melted off in the cataclysm in the distant past that wiped the advanced civilization out.

      There's an old saying "Necessity is the mother of invention", and when people like that need to come up with a solution to accomplish what they want to, they have the genius and ingenuity to do so. They had tools and methods of construction we can only guess at. It wasn't primitive. It's just modern arrogance that wants to make the people of the ancient past primitive types, where everything they do must have something to do with religion or temples worshiping things.

    Hi Jahannah, nice to see you're back with a new video 🙂 I think maybe the Dynastic Egyptians used this technique for moving and building big things but I think the really ancient monuments from the time of what we called Kemet was done very differently. The size of rocks they used and the precision gone into making them out weighs the technology of the pulley design. I actually think the bowls were used as some kind of ultrasonic sound and electro magnetic machine. It sounds crazy I know but we can levitate small objects today with ultrasonic sound vibration waves in the correct frequencies. Brien Foerster has done some vids about certain rocks that seem different from the others and have magnetic anomalies, maybe these ones were used to move the other rocks while they were in levitation and also used in the walls and structures alongside the key stone technique, magnetically locking the whole structure together for extra strength. I actually think the bowls may have had a metalic liquid in them that could be turned magnetic when energy was added, like an electro magnet but much much more advanced (maybe similar to a video called 'Liquid Mercury Vortex in a Magnetic Field', by Experiments Robert33) . Anyway I'm just a raver boy what do I know lol but one thing is for sure, there was a high ancient technology.
    ONE LOVE ❤💛💚

The Valley of the Kings, some of it is more ancient than the rest and the pillars you see there are made of many pieces which could have been done using the pulley method but the most ancient megalithic stuff are made of solid pieces of granite and for that you would need a stronger technique..

    I like the idea. Its 'RINGS TRUE' for me as they say. Yet - you would think there would be one of these ..a few of them somewhere still intact, and not just in pictures. Makes more practical sense that many of the mysterious artifacts had industrial and or engineering purposes, and sometimes later be reused for other purposes once the knowledge lost. Example - The Disc of Sabu, I think was a rope maker. Look at it - its perfect for that to twine three lines into one good rope. Also, structures for farming chemicals, power and light ...but later used for initiations and religious purposes.. maybe. I see an elite group, maybe two, moving into that area after a cataclysm and making a new order of things with the already inhabitants. They would have impressed with their technology and know how. Technology and knowhow SUPERSIZED to feed the people and making things for everyday use and to secure a new order. It all still impresses us today. How amazing!

Transportation of 1000 tons on 1500 km certainlx was not done by lubricated ropes. What we can see is that they were suing some sort of CNC machines for carving and shaping stones.

    Wherein lies the growing argument towards the origins of Kemet being a Nilo-Saharan civilization, alongside more mainstream alternative history debates, i.e. Plato's Atlantis, antediluvian cataclysms etc?
    I believe all alternative histories have the right to be explored in light of evidences in their favour and that the Afrocentrism of dynastic Egypt, proved long ago by the works of scholars such as Cheikh Anta Diop and still being fought for today, is entirely compatible with younger dryas impact theory. But if this movement is on the side of the truths being suppressed by mainstream archaeology/history, why does one side of the discussion get all the attention, whilst the other is forced to the margins by a complete lack of attention.
    It's not that I'm expecting people to engage with the debate for Kemet's Afrocentrism if they don't want to, after all, it might not be that interesting to those who aren't themselves of African descent or fighting on behalf of the legacy that their own ancient ancestor's paved in their wake, but I'd just previously expected that it might have had at least some place within the spectrum of discourse on alternative histories, due to the abundance of bolstering evidence, literally staring down the barrel at mainstream history, waiting for us to squeeze the trigger in its face. Except that we simply aren't bothering to do so, despite the precedent it would set moving forwards, in favour of our maturing and evolving approach to human history.

    this week I will try to recreate a pillar from oatmeal or Papier mache
    and next weekend tie it to my pushbike ...
    and see if it has any influence on the max. speed or stability,
    keep you posted. 💪🤓

    Not even close, the Egyptians didnt quarry and move stones nor erect pyramids, it's not possible.

    That is a really interesting concept, not much different than capstans that were used to lift stones in building castles. The Djar pillars could be a very credible model.

    This is absolutely groundbreaking! As an archaeologist, I have always wondered if the remnants of the pyramid-building technology is lying around in plain view, and it seems that may well be the case. It drives me nuts when archaeologists 'explain' something they don't understand by saying it must be 'ceremonial', without any evidence for that whatsoever. More archaeologists need to admit plainly when they don't know, and ask more probing questions about what the purpose of something could have been. It's this kind of curiosity that eventually leads to breakthroughs in our patchy understanding.
