Rare Footage from Egypt - Ancient Machined Artifacts found deep beneath the Step Pyramid!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 янв 2022
- Rare footage, exploring the tunnels and catacombs beneath the sands of Ancient Egypt - a journey into the bedrock below the Step Pyramid of Saqqara! Home to the discovery of more than 40,000 of the remarkable machined hard stone vases from the earliest parts of the Ancient Egyptian Civilization.
More than 5 kilometers of passages and shafts have been carved deep into the ground below Pharoah Djoser's Step Pyramid, and there are still many signs of ancient machined artifacts, including something in the lower levels that I don't think has ever been documented publically before!
Join me as we explore these mysteries and go on a visit into this remarkable and ancient place, only recently opened to groups with 'special permission' access.

As a modern granite and marble fabricator (mostly countertops and sinks) I couldn't imagine how they accomplished making this stuff. Everything we use is embedded with Dimonds. The saw blades, drill bits, router bits, grinding wheels, polishing pads all embedded with Dimond and we have modern equipment that spins very fast and uses water to cool as we work the stone. There's no way they used chisels to shape these pieces. Especially the softer stone like alabaster or the white lime stone. The granite which is the stronger and more dense would chip fracture and break to pieces the softer less dense lighter color transparent stone, forget it. Those who have worked with it understand how delicate it actually is. They had to have had some sort of machine that spins to grind this stuff into it's shape. The vases you're talking about having to shape the outside as well as the inside. That is a very large amount of stone to have to get through while not breaking it. What sucks is in order to polish the stone, you have to first sand out all the tooling marks or any scratches in order to get a proper polish. Everything has to be completely smooth then to get the polish you use a finer Dimond pad every time and the finer the pad the greater the shine on the stone. But during the polish process you remove any tooling marks that show how you shaped it. Making this stuff today with modern tools, power, and running water is difficult. I don't even understand how it was possible for them
Yes ✨
Exactly. It wasnt made by humans, sir. Now You Know
It is crazy , the perfect corners at perfect 90°, the diffrent perfectly drilled holes , how the hell could that all be done with chisels and hammers, plus I'm sure the tools even were not that great, this all had to have been done by a much more advanced civilization,
Thank you for this comment
Leaves you questioning who these people were?
This is amazing. Hours of watching Smithsonian, History, and Nat Geo channels - and I’ve never seen anything like this explored with so much raw, unedited passion and incredible detail. Amazing stuff.
Look into Graham Hancock
@@scottiholli1204 Will do. Thanks!
Randal Carlson is another person that gives a alternative perspective, more on the geology side. Both Randal Carlson and Graham Hancock have RUclips channels and have been on joe Rogan experience multiple times with great interviews .
@@scottiholli1204 Again, thank you!!
The Smithsonian have an agenda for some reason and in fact hide some artifacts
This incredible work that Ben does bringing us information about how advanced previous civilizations were makes me so appreciative in awe & wonder Thankyou
It is clear that a obvious effort has been made to hide and suppress the truth about things.
It's laughably clear.
Love your stuff and the hard work that you guys do, Ben.
Never stop.
For what purpose would you need a cover up? In other words, what is the predicted and undesirable effect/result if its *not* coveried up?
Clear how? You don't know how they did it. You are just filling the gapps in with fantasy.
@@MrSpacelyy THEY are CLEARly not just VesCells your l8king @
I dream of the day Zahi HawASS passes away and some real progress can hopefully be made. The man’s pride and ego have held back Egyptology a lifetime. If anyone thinks these structures were BUILT as tombs and BUILT with copper chisels and dolorite rock pounders, I want to sell you a bridge….
@@Malama_Ki
Someone woke up on the wrong side of the pyramid.
I’m just astounded by everything I saw: the exquisite pottery , the endless tunnels, the huge carved stones . I was especially pleased to see everyone documenting and admiring all this work.👍
Even the little tiny stone ointment boxes were well done. Working with stone dust and breathing it in did they have short lives? And someone had to produce their food. And the 400 stone vases. Were they storing wine or grains or oil in them?
We're they empty
All that stone work but no paper mills?
No written records?
RUclips is such a huge repository of these documentaries. I'll never get to them all.
I am nearing 70 years. I have been fascinated by the remarkable edifices of ancient Egypt. I have heard rumors of tunnels and hidden chambers under ancient structures all of my life. So here is the documented proof! Thank you sir!
there must be more that lies buried waiting to be discovered.... discoveries that may rewrite the story of man......
Tom, really glad you have seen this remarkable evidence from Ben.
I think we should stop calling this ancient egypt for it's already obvious that Egyptians never built any of this.
Egypt has so much more below than above . Tons of stories throughout history of different archaeologists finding vast man made and natural caverns under Egypt . It extends far past the ancient ruins into the modern city , streets , shops and homes are sitting on top . Some residents have entrances inside their homes and dug into levels of the caverns , using it for storage and others robbing artifacts
Being in a wheelchair these days not able to go down these videos are amazing . I get to see what I thought it would look like
Freeze Frame at 38:09 and you CLEARLY see a cut that any woodworker would recognize... The cut started at the top, and then they stopped when they saw they were off the mark, and restarted the cut from the bottom to finish it. Woodworking 101.
And the inside corners of some of the boxes look EXACTLY like a "plunge cut" where you 'plunge' a spinning circular blade straight down. You can easily tell by the way the cut is deeper in the middle, and tapers to very shallow on the ends.
Absolutely outstanding video.
Just seen that, thanks for sharing. That’s crazy
There are videos recreating the sawing of the granite with saws, sand and water….look it up. Makes sense and isn’t aliens lol
@@alabamber1573now cut 25 perfect boxes (yes perfect) out of a 70-100 ton slab of granite and carry it through deep, dark and narrow underground passageways.
Thanks for taking us on a trip millions of us won't be able to take in real life. Keep up the great work.
yhe holes are for water and boxes stored fresh water
That removal and dumping of the alabaster blocks is a major disgrace. It's disgusting what they did to it.
@@gameoverlord8012 of course not. They think we are evolved apes 🦧
now we would not know, if the drills are ancient or were done during the removal ... but ... who allowed that? How they can just destroy them?
@@JohnnyRebKy what?
It may have been blocking access to the passages or it may have made the passages too unsafe to be opened up. It is often said that all archaeology is destruction.
@@phrtao why bulldoze them though? They can remove them and not destroy them
Revealing such mysteries poses even more questions than answers. Good work.
This is excellent. I am not sure how I am just discovering your channel as I am scrolling and watching everything about Ancient Egypt for years. Thank you for what you are doing. 👍🏼
UnchartedX is literally the best channel for this content. The presentation is excellent as always!
Agree!
Yes, it absolutely is.
Unquestionably.
Much better than any book or documentary that you may see on television
UnchartedX legend
I was a toolmaker, I have turned highly precision machine parts to TENTHS OF A THOUSANDS of an inch.
Fifty years if experience in engineering.
Those jars are amazing.
The Schist disc is mind-blowing, the only way you could produce one today would be by 3D printing. 🤔
Absolutely no way these jars could have been produced other than by machine.
Great video,
50 years experience is awesome, but has little relevance to handcrafted stonemasonry in my opinion.
Cheers
You can literally watch people on RUclips make identical jars with stone tools. 🤦🏽
No, you can't. You can make stuff that looks like it, but you cannot recreate what they did.
I watched some exciting theory why these artifacts look so perfect. They said that these artifacts including the pyramids themselves are from a much older advanced civilization similar to ours, we are talking 13,000 years ago before the last ice age! But they got extinct due to a cataclysmic event. But somehow, after the extinction, there was a reset in civilization, and people who founded the pyramid again (the ancient Egyptian we know today) thought it was from gods. Still, in reality, they are from the last advanced civilization! So that explains why, they tried to replicate the artifacts again, but failed to do so at least in accuracy.
At first, I thought if that's true where are the tools? And then I saw a table of advanced materials we are using now like plastic, polymers, reinforced metals, etc.. and all of them won't last above thousands of years, so basically, every man-made structure from 13, 000 years ago will just become rubble or completely disintegrate over time and the only would survive are things that are made with hard stones like granite, etc.!
It blows my mind thinking that it may also happen to us anytime! Every human being that exists now will never be known and the next surviving generation of human beings might think that our buildings and powerplants are from gods. Interestingly enough, the great pyramids might also survive too again!
@@ecosphereworld2138 Care to link to those videos? Of course you can't because they don't exist.
Man, this was amazing. So great to experience such a visit through the eyes of one so well researched. The consideration of the camera work and the narration was also first class. The number of subscriptions this channel is richly deserved. JRE brought me here. New subscriber here and thank you.
OMG! This video is maybe 2 years old, and I've just seen it. The thing is, I went to Saqqara last August (2023) and I got a ticket that was supposed to give me access to everywhere, but the guy on the southern entrance to the step pyramid wouldn't let me in without a specific ticket. And, I'd just gotten a ride from the ticket office to the pyramid with a guy who was excavating tombs there and quietly raving about it. He'd told me I would get into the pyramid on the ticket that he had just helped me to purchase because I only had cash. I have now subscribed to this channel, so I'm hoping that there's more recent vids because I know there's lot's going on there. Cheers!
Bummer!
We can now only imagine what else was down there made of alabaster, removed, discarded & crushed on the ground outside, it’s criminal, these places need protecting and photographing. You have an amazing job, thank you for sharing that with us, the artefacts that are still inside those tunnels are beautiful especially the large boxes.
I hate egyptologists, even if they know the truth they are to afraid to say anything because they will never find work again if they go against the narrative that they are tombs. Huge open areas under the tunnels were used for something, maybe they flooded them with water to do something, or collect energy from the center of earth
any treasure if it ever existed has been removed long ago.
I think they may have removed the alabaster hunting for hidden tombs or pathways, otherwise why remove them at all?
@@whoDatBeDare A lot of the work witñ tomb robbers.
As soon as they closed the tombs they were back there that night robbing them.
Usually the priests and the robbers work together?
@@whoDatBeDare or destroyed while doing so just like the frame 22:41 shows
40 000 jars just in this place. Possibly more undiscovered. This volume isn’t a couple of guys on their lathe, this was full industrial level manufacturing.
The jars look pristinely clean, no stains from regular usage. Like new.
Some of them were found at Giza, but I don't think that Petrie gave a clear indication of how many.
Maybe they were made elsewhere, and only used for importing goods then discarded (goods like chemicals; acids; oil; foodstuffs; dope, even?). Can the source of the base material be identified positively?

It’s incredible that you could handle pieces of that pottery. The pile of pieces holds as much value as the unbroken examples but will probably be bulldozed as well.
Just wanted to say thanks Ben! I'm enthused by these videos, but more-so that independent investigators like yourself can both produce such quality content, and basically skip the whole "I'm a credentialed, blah blah" circus and simply film the artifacts--you are just showing the evidence and skipping the swamp of criticisms that you'd otherwise have to wade through from the mainstream. So I'm like doubly excited, b/c we are in a new age of archeology where the motivated and truly enthused investigators can just bust right through any ossified ideas that are hindering the flow of knowledge. Also, your commentary is just perfect (for me): i.e. the content, the calm delivery, the speed and pace at which it is delivered--it is super chill and rational, allowing ME to get genuinely enthused, without being pumped up artificially by someone selling it, pushing, boosting, sensationalizing, etc
I could just sit and listen to Mr. Awyan talk forever and fill my brain with the knowledge he has both from himself and his incredible famous father, you're so lucky to know him for all these years i've been watching this channel it NEVER and i mean never gets old or boring, this is one of the few channels that captures my FULL attention and holds it.
This is exactly what we need . This is the real truth. Not the stories we are told at museums
I'll give you a pop quiz tomorrow....like me you'll fail, I can only remember buts and pieces from his videos
@@breakingames7772 Then you weren't paying attention.
@@samturnau6086 Precisely.
We'regggg
After seeing the effort required for a well-known RUclipsr to just put a small tunnel between his shed and his house, about 30ft (9.14 m), the work required for just the tunnels shown in the credits at the end of this video is incredible. Always good to see footage of some of the wonders under the ground in Egypt.
Imagine if the workforce that created the tunnels in Egypt had Furze as their gaffer...

So thoroughly thankful for this... What an honour it is to descend into and travel through this marvel with everyone... As vicarious as the experience may be, the visual information alone is invaluable. Not to mention your narration! THANK YOU.
Unbelievable, no other media or documentary provides these quality insights. I wish I had time to watch all the videos.
Truly a unique experience. Actually holding up close relic pieces from a very ancient prehistoric yet advanced civilization. These cut, lathed and honed vessels were wrought what, twenty, thirty thousand years ago or even more. Just amazing!
they are no doubt in my mind Atlantean artifacts.
6000 years ago. These are from the 1st and 2nd dynasties.
No, they aren't. They are attributed to them because they scratched their names on the outside. Its like seeing spray paint on a skyscraper and assuming that the graffiti artist built it.
@@wpriddy yawn... there is a relief sculpture of Djoser in the south tomb of the complex.
@@Ddub1083 So?
Someone who has done work on Lathe I find the protruding handles on the vases very interesting as it wouldn’t allow material to be removed in between the handles along that plane where they sit yet the vase is perfectly round and it almost looks like the handles are glued on yet they are one peace
I have just commented to similar effect. The handle internal corners are slightly recessed as though hand finished.
Yes and what about the thimble sized vases? Surely not thimble sized lathes.....?
@@sandman8993 There were huge pillars turned on gigantic lathes, why not small lathes? Wake-up Sandman, they had heavy equipment even better than ours. They sure didn't use pounding stones.
@@sandman8993 so why the centering marks?
They used vibro drilling (copper tubes) to do the holes hence the slight tapers on all and bottom over cuts. So they likely used the same process you can do it on a lathe manually (the rotation doesn't remove material, the vibration of the tool does!) but rotating between the areas and finish the edges off with a smaller vibrational tool.
The wooden shaped axe you use to cut trees is crazy, very well made.
You are very lucky to see this in person and thank you for showing us.
It blew my mind when you guys came across all of those ancient Stone pieces of jars, plates, etc just sitting there like that! You're extremely lucky to be able to handle them, especially doing so in the very place where they were found! I doubt that happens very often (if ever).. Great video 👍
nobody wants plates.. they took the gold.. ill bring you upto speed,,a bit.. watch revalation of the pyramids.. then,keep searching..
Thanks a lot for your documentation. I believe the fragments of these jars ARE the "treasures" he collected, but who knows. Thanks so much, Ben. These are quality docs with incredible footage, no matter which theory is adopted by the viewer
I think you are correct. Even in ancient times, these pieces were highly valuable and likely recognised as "ooparts" that the people then had no idea how to replicate. Some of these pieces could hardly be made by people today. But where did they come from???
@@Comakino Yes, I agree with that,... to us it (may) seem like a scrap heap... but what i feel when i see this out-of-place "heap" under a huge royal monument is that these 'fragments from hypothetical ancestors' really meant a lot (i mean, pricelesss jewels) and so they were collected when found and placed in these catacombs (by the way, how old were those woven baskets Ben was rumaging beside? are they catacomb possessions? Were the baskets holding some of these smaller invaluable pieces at some point? Was it tomb-raiders of antiquity who strew about seemingly worthless pottery shards from their original placing? We must bear in mind tvat THOUSANDS of years have gone and who knows what has displaced the shards during that expanse of time. Plus, one must ask one's self the logical question: what other Reason might a king have to keep junk pottery shards in his monument/memorial IF not because of their far-ancient 'worth'. curiouser and curiouser
You can always tell a nutter who doesnt belie the lies in their videos they dont comment on their videos!
Excellent video, really good job making information accessible to the rest of us!
these videos are amazing, the wonder and awe of actually being there (I imagine) literally comes through to us. Watching these is like a dream come true for people with inquisitive minds......wow
Thank you Ben for documenting these structures over the years. Incredible footage as always!
Glad I found this channel. I am a retired Machinist the last 15 years of my career I used CNC mills an lathes. I will be watching your previous videos to see the process and materials used in the machining of what looks to be extremely hard and abrasive stone. Hand tools were not used in the making of many of the pieces you show here. To machine materials such as Inconel and Titanium we use end mills and inserts made out of Carbide and or abrasive diamond tooling.
@@bimmel7776 I can plainly see and identify the pieces that were made with simple hand tools such as the artifacts made of softer alabaster. To me looking at the artifacts in question that they were made with tools and technology that far exceeds what they had at the time. I think that these were left by a previous civilization and acquired and used as their own. The tool marks and striations left on these precision artifacts would not and could not have been left by the tools you speak of. "simple tools"
@@bimmel7776 I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I have an open mind for all possibilities so when I see things that don't follow the status quo and I can see it with my own eyes I am headed off in that direction so I can learn something new. I would rather not sit and accept what someone else says as fact because they saw it on a RUclips video. I know it's not possible to have made these artifacts with tools of the period just by looking at the tool marks and striations so I am off to learn. you have not accepted what is obvious to me and that's OK. Like I said I'm not trying to convince anyone.
@bimmel u have no idea wtf ur talking about i work with stone everyday and have for most of my life u CANNOT carve granite or any hard stone with copper ive tried the nonsense its laughable and at the very least steel was definitely used and the reason we dont find them is the same reason u dont find stonemason tools from the dark ages they got recycled
Just watched the video. It took 6 months of 8 hour days to make this in a material that isn't half as hard as granite or diorite. And even using a softer material, it is still not close to the precision seen in the single piece stone items. Very simply, we see something that you cannot. We see the markings, we know how they got there. We understand the kind of pressures it would take to leave that mechanical signature in that type of stone. You don't. That's okay. When two machinists are telling you, not suggesting, that this would be impossible with arsenic hardened copper in granite or diorite, you should listen. What you would expect them to be able to do is barely scratch the surface. Which is what you see all over Egypt. Wonders attributed to the early and old kingdoms because they could barley scratch their names in the granite. It's like seeing a name in spray paint on a skyscraper and deducing that the graffiti artist built it.
@@bimmel7776 You keep saying that it's possible, and say that you have video evidence without providing any, so if you are a machinist and say it's possible, please prove it for us and put this discussion to an end. If you can't show any evidence of this "result you saw", please stop repeating lies
I'm so glad to have found your channel with these wonderful detailed examination of wonders that I will likely never be able to see in person. Thank you.
It's amazing that they were able to do such precision work, but none of the tools survived.
There was possibly a “communist” revolution and tools that advantaged some above others were taken away and destroyed.
Crazy!! I hope these fragments are going to be studied and preserved.
Your work is awesome Ben!!
I watched this in full 3 times already since you posted it, I can only imagine the excitement you felt upon seeing the fragments and handling them yourself. And the look on your face around the 2 boxes near the end says it all. One day I’ll be there with you I’m determined. Thanks for all you do Ben
One of the best vids ive seen!!!!.Thanks mate.
This channel is gold!
Now this is what should be going viral! This is the news we need to see and hear! Thank you for showing the important parts of history that everyone should have a chance to see. I appreciate your thoughts on all. This is my 1st view so I can't wait to see more. I'm only 12 minutes in... I just had to say "Great video!".
Always love your stuff Ben. It's almost not fair. Saqara and the Step Pyramid were here before any of us arrived on this planet, and some of us have gotten older trying to decipher the secrets they possess, and yet now they look younger as we've got older, and they will be here long after we've all gone. It's just not fair! Thanks Ben!
My thoughts exactly!
Thanks Ben. Another epic video. 👍
Just wow. Thank you so much for sharing. The overcuts are an incredible observation and very compelling evidence for machining.
Wow man… that really IS incredible… what I wouldn’t give to see… whatever it is they did to make this… not to mention why… absolutely amazing! So many questions we’ll never have answers to.
those answers might still be within reach
The Egyptian government has more information than they will ever share
i can give you answers now,, but if you keep watching this trash, you,ll never know anything.. this is rubbish, wrong info.
@@harrywalker5836 I bet you can sum up your answers in one word, or should I say one name? You offer the peddling of narrative brought to you by suppliers and salesman
I am fascinated by this stuff, and as far as I can tell you are literally the only person doing what I would do if I were actually on site. It boggles my mind that they throw away these scraps that bear the markings of an alternative history. It shocks me. I'm only 10 minutes into the video but I felt the need to comment about it.
I'm only 10 minutes in and I felt the need to _read_ a comment, so thank you! ;")
I made a similar comment in the same ten minutes in. I also don't believe these were burial tombs. I believe the alabaster was a final outer covering that fit into the steps.
It’s all about control over the masses. If it ever came out that major governments have been covering up the truth of our past it would no doubt throw every single thing off rail as far as beliefs and means of controlling the masses. Not to mention it would be pretty sobering for some people to know these things. Here is an entire global civilization way more advanced than even we are today, and they were utterly powerless against whatever wiped them out seemingly overnight. Pretty scary indeed…
@@t-towntransparency8850 and unfortunately for the green peace activists we are just as powerless now to stop any global catastrophes that may come oyr way. In fact every large meteoroid that has come our way was completely missed by the people supposedly watching for them. We only hear about them when they have passed us by. It's hard to blow them up or attempt to steer them away if we can't even catch them in time.
Imagine you are an expert confronted by a set of artifacts that don't fit the narrative, perhaps you would be ridiculed or lose your job if you acknowledge the implications...
Love your work man! I'm addicted to your content.
Amazing video🤯, thank you !
as an engineer, with more than 30 years in the architectural stone business, I support your hypotheses about the nature of cutting equipment and the production of the hard stone artifacts. The question that I have regarding the tooling is, where did it disappear to? It obviously existed and was there at some past time.
Manufacturing engineer here. I've been trying to wrap my brain around this for years as well, and the only two explanations I can think of are that the sites are so incredibly old that all the machinery has truly long rusted and eroded OR that a heap of stuff is still under the sand. Only not so long ago the Sphinx was just the tip of a boulder on the desert floor, so who knows what else still lies buried around the whole plateau. Hit the area with a leaf blower for a few weeks and see what starts to poke out.
Perhaps they were brought from somewhere else, It says that many of them are heirlooms. To add the spook factor, maybe the vases were brought in from Atlantis by the survivors since they are considered highly advanced technologically. But than there are other, heavy objects or construction details which could not have been brought from somewhere else.
@@ww1980kolo (Europeans have been doing that for 500+ years)
Where is your evidence for the development of this "advanced tech"
Stay in your lane. Historians don't try to explain complex modern engineering as they are not adequately educated on the subject matter to contribute anything meaningful.
Once you read literally 2-3 of the dozens of books diving into stonework and tool development and usage within Egypt... You'll first realize you had no idea what you were commenting on, then soon after realize you were sippin dat Kool Aid way too hard.
12000 years ago, sea level was 60M lower. Lots of ancient coastal population centers are under corrosive seawater now.
They came and gone, took aways all the tools.
With 3D modelling and computer labeling, many of these 'jar' pieces could be reunited into their original form.
Especially with deep learning
Amazing footage and analysis. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for taking us along, it was fascinating! I really enjoyed your commentary too it helps to put things into perspective and gives us the viewers a much richer experience.
I work in a mine where tube drilling is common and can go on for up to 1000 feet per hole. They are used for exploratory purposes. Used to locate ore and types of minerals. The cores of the tube are pulled out and looked at to see what is out there in the distance in the bedrock. I think this is how the ancients found these pretty and rare minerals used in these jars and fine objects.
I wonder if the early or pre-dynastic Egyptians drilled in the limestone and sandstone bedrock looking for the drill to hit granite or other hard rock, then excavated whatever object/building they found.
The "shafts" and the Serapheum of Saqqara could have been found this way. Would be interesting to see if one can find tube drill holes in random bedrock around Egypt.
If so, that would put the age of these object into the really deep past. Ancient Egypt is a bit special, being essentially a river delta and a whole civilization in a river valley. Flood deposits from both the Nile and the sea could bury shit deep over long timeframes.
Well i find that interesting to hear but highly unlikely. I’m yet to see more of those core tubes. I think I have only seen one so far and other than that only tube drill holes in objects but never walls.
I think you're right about that. It becomes quickly apparent when you see the results of ancient high technology that a vast, sophisticated civilisation (or civilisations) with a huge and diverse range of tools and technologies that enabled them to live, work and play in ways that 'we', the most recent civilisation on earth (said to be the most, even the first, developed civilisation) are quite small fry compared to what went before us all those tens of thousands of years go.
Great video Ben 🙂✌️.
Thank you for sharing. I totally enjoyed your finds and video.
Jus finally found you! Beyond excited! Gonna binge watch
Seriously, this is the best in depth (no pun intended) video about ancient Egypt (or prior) technology that I have seen! Your theory and speculations are much appreciated and raise/answer many interesting questions. In particular, the concept of "inheriting" treasured artifacts from prior sources goes a long way toward understanding not only what has been found as well as what HASN'T been found so far -- namely the tools used to produce these hard stone artifacts. That absence tends to suggest they may have come from somewhere outside Egypt.
@@bimmel7776 Show or it didn’t happen.
@@bimmel7776 Shill.
Wow, thank you so much for this footage.
Great video! Thanks!
I work in a large machine shop. I use a lathe every day at work. I would love to take a close look at these pieces.
Another great video. Well done!
Most Western museums have plundered jars in their collections.
I had posted this question as a separate comment, but I’m curious what you think @Mad Matt Digs. The vessels seem to be turned on a lathe, but I cannot explain the protruding handles on many of them. What do you think about this? Seems to me at least the portions between the handles could not be done on a lathe.
@@JonathanSolekArts you’re right about that. The handles would be in the way. I’ve been wondering myself if they could’ve powered a type of primitive lathe with slave labor, not an actual machine that runs on electricity. They could get the object turning pretty fast for some time with long ropes being pulled at 90 degrees from the part. Because I really have a hard time believing there were actual machines as we know them today.
@@madmattdigs9518 this observation: no system of ropes could run at the same speed the same time as a powered lathe, the strength of the rope system would decrease progressively, therefore, leaving a trace of marks, it would be a hell of a thing starting again, each time.. at the exact points of strength loss, in order to achieve a perfect overall smoothness, it has to be a system with a constant steady torque, adjustable, I may say, by the big chunk unfinished on the floor, that is not started by hand picking, they are using the lathe from the very beginning, so the torque would had have to be adjustable, even so...
yeah, is disturbing mate, but just because of the education, just get rid of that and let it go...
@@madmattdigs9518 Yeah. That's basically my conception currently. Lots of mysteries for sure.
12,000 years, 40,000 years, 250,000 years ago - amazing that we are just now realizing that civilizations existed so long ago and that the conventional archaeologists theories are blown out of the water. What events led to their end? Why was their technology lost? Great video.
Our sun goes through cycles having micronovas from time to time. It's believed that is what caused the great cataclysms of the past and why there are so many underground cities and caves because it was the only way that some people survived.
patchouli, is mainly correct, the sun blows ever 10,- 13 odd k. yrs. watch viper tv, sumerian tablets. might give you some insight into history.. our,,history..
It's actually the people themselves that usually ruin their own culture and civilization. We're doing it again. We never realize it's what we're doing until it's too late, every single time.
@@GizzyDillespee its not the people, its the gov,s that rule you. how do your kids turn out if you never tell them anything.. the gov,s are feeding you a load of lies.. look up vids on davos... fox news,,, russell brand.. carlson tucker.. clous swab.. is the guy in charge of world affairs..
I still think we as a race escaped from Mars as the planet's atmosphere stripped itself at the boundary layer, and now on Mars except deep undergound, there are no traces left of civilisations Imagine what 200,000 years of fast dry surface winds, sandbllsting would do to anything left - too many hints exist in so many different texts Time of the Gods, Ezekiel Mahabarata Mayans etc etc, Knowing what was coming would have given them time to build spaceships etc, evidence of advanced technology abound and what the hell was in those boxes, ????
New subscriber here! I really appreciate the detail in your videos. Thanks for sharing!
exquisit number of various hardest stones artifacts, sophisticated unexplainable cutting evidences, precise overcuttings
thanks a million for highlighting Djoser was yet another admirer of this much much older site underneath his monument
I love your channel and Matt's Ancient Architects. I find your videos and explanations far more compelling. The great difference is that you have a preponderance of physical evidence - an inference to the best explanation - which is extremely powerful evidence. Matt seems to be quite self-conscious, wanting to not be called "fringe", and shies away from the obvious in favor of the "orthodox" explanation in spite of the evidence. I call that motivated reasoning. "Don't believe your lying eyes!" The sheer number, scale and quality of artifacts, and then their sudden cessation of manufacture, and subsequent quarrying and reuse, is overwhelming evidence to support the inheritance theory. I applaud your work, your candor, and your perseverance.
You've done a lot of great work in a lot of ways. Documenting all that you have, providing some analysis, pointing out contradictions in the mainstream consensus and - I would say most of all - providing a channel and space for people to educate themselves whilst not shoving a narrative, or 'conspiracy', down their necks.
It must feel and be difficult having to repeat certain things so often and also coming up with new ideas for videos, without daring to meander into the woo-woo, so I really appreciate all the effort it must take and the Patreons supporting you.
Thanks mate.
Blown away Ben. Incredibly interesting and informative. Thank you so much....
Awesome tour. Thank you. 🌻
How awesome is Yousef? Amazing man, hope to take a tour with him leading some day.
Stuff like this just amaze me I've been working with stone since I was 15 years old and still do and that's been around 40 years and even with modern tools it's extremely hard to cut some types of stone even in a straight line
Just think they did it will copper chisels and rock hammers
@@explorster yea bro so they try to make us believe
@@explorster haha
@@explorster no they didn’t 😆, you were being sarcastic, right? 😆😂
Awesome video 😊 thank you for sharing it 😊🎉
Thank you so much for sharing your content! This is nothing short of amazing. This makes my explorers heart happy 😃
Another brilliant video. You are consistently informative, entertaining, professional and dedicated. Your videos illuminate these ancient sites and topics in a way that conventional Egyptology simply doesn't and cannot. Thank you so much for all your hard work making and posting these superb films. They are an invaluable aid for the casual viewer and the expert alike, taking us to places most of us will never have the opportunity to go, and educating us with thought-provoking commentary along the way.
Very well said
Love this channel.
Exceptional, remarkable, well researched video. Bravo! Truly the mystery of the hard stone vessels requires more effort - keep on it!
You and Yusef definitely need to go on JRE and show your findings! It would be amazing.
Yousef
I appreciate it when you say," This is a theory, only a theory". So many archeologists teach as though they know for a fact how the work was done. Thanks for the great content.
id apprciate it if you looked up the definition for the word theory. A theory is a fact. Undeniable and graduated to be the truth.
@@banjominer9682 no, you’re talking about a “law” such as the laws of thermodynamics. A theory is our best guess at various phenomenons. If the theory is proven to be correct in all instances, then it’s re classified into a law. Look into Briffault’s Law which has no exceptions in nature, vs. The Theory of Evolution which has enough exceptions for many to deny it the status of being a biological law.
@@wyattlavigne What are the exceptions in the evolution? Do you have any links to webpages that explains it?
@@dansihvonen8218 This is a longish topic, but look into:
Coelacanth (No evolution in 65+ million years)
Ginko Trees (No evolution in 65+ million years)
Horseshoe Crabs (essentially no evolution in 350 to 480 million years depending on which source you read)
Evolutionary explosions, where the rate of evolution FAR outstrips anything that is considered possible under the current model. This is both in rate of drift within a species and an explosion in the appearance of a huge number of new species.
Also anomalies such as the rattlesnake tail which is hotly debated.
Hence with the above and a bunch of other examples (look into “living fossils”), the theory of evolution is still just a biological theory and not a biological law.
You’ll have to do you own digging if you want more answers.
@@wyattlavigne Why change (evolve) if there are no reason to it? Are the nonchanged organisms unfit for their enviroment?
Love your work mate
Thank you for your work, and making it available to the world Ben.
Great video!! I had never seen alot of this stuff from Egypt before now and I want to say thank you for your documentation and commentary!!
Mind blowing stuff. Never has it been clearer to me that the 1st dynasties on were mere emulators of an advanced civilisation that preceded them.
Great work. Almost wept when I saw those remnants of alabaster stone wall linings. Its like some unseen hand wants to erase all remnants of what is becoming more absurd & indeed impossible to try & hide.
What utter crap. We know almost nothing about the early dynasties. Not nearly enough to rule them out as the makers of these artifacts.
@@wiretamer5710 Right back at ya. Do some research & you might learn something. But such a thick veil of cognitive dissonance would take a sledgehammer to remove.
So believe whatever delusion suits.
ENJOY 🤩
@@gorillafunk725 I doubt you would know was research was if it hit you in the face. Studying what other people have written on the internet is NOT RESEARCH.
Archeology is not football, and attacking me only makes you look like an idiot... so... knock yourself, out chum.
But we do. It's right there in front of your eyes. You just can't see it. I'm a tool maker. I make functional works of art every day. I've worked with granite. With the best tools money can buy, it is still a nightmare. It is a natural amalgate. The trouble lies in transitioning between the different materials. Even with cnc it is a tremendously difficult material to work. And that is after thousands of years of constant development from the tooling they supposedly used. We are literally 5000 years in the future, and we have only recently developed the ability to recreate these works.
Awesome video my guy.
again, beautiful work
I can't believe you only have 200k subs. Your channel is pretty unique. Fine detailed experience. Cheers.
I truly believe that as well. The great Pyramids of Giza are much older and were discovered remnants of a much older advanced "civilization" and the step Pyramid was the first attempt to recreate and honor the original works. It is odd, the older the construction, (worldwide) larger the blocks, harder the stone, the more complex works and precision achieved.
Your status should be canceled for spreading this nonsense 😒
12000 years ago a cataclysm killed of the great civilization - I'm sure there are more clues about this technology, but satanic secret societies suppress human history for their sick little gains.
Yeah nevermind the incans who bhilt them more recently and we know how.
Or the cuniform written records of how they were built.
Egyot was ruled by many peoples. Over thousand of years.
Plenty of time to both create and then forget their own methods.
"The great Pyramids of Giza are much older and were discovered remnants of a much older advanced "civilization"
If there was this nebulous pre-civilization we should see evidence for it all the time, we don't, because there was *no* evidence this has ever been true.
This pre-Egyptian advanced civilization, if it exists, why have did the ancient Egyptians never record it - they recorded everything.
"and the step Pyramid was the first attempt to recreate and honor the original works. "
Well, no, that's demonstrably false. If they were honoring structures that apparently existed that also means they must have been aware of this civilizations existence in order to associate the two parts
"It is odd, the older the construction, (worldwide) larger the blocks, harder the stone, the more complex works and precision achieved."
It's not odd in the slightest. We get better at building things the more we build things. That's literally how iterative design works, we make one thing, analyse it, examine point of success and failure, learn from them and then apply those lessons to the next design, and so on.
This happened all over the world, because iterative design applies to essentially anything, castles, houses, walls, etc
@w0rmblood323 there is evidence all over the world lol. maybe you will see it one day
Fantastic, thank you for sharing. Love your voice.
Great to hear the guide with such positive attitude.. .. and I agree.
This was an extremely interesting video, I had no idea all of those tunnels were below the step pyramid. Also, I've never seen the immaculate stone jars either. It seems that the evidence for all this being much older than what is believed by mainstream science is compounding all the time. It is my opinion that the ancient Egyptians found all of it and tried very hard to replicate what they discovered. Who knows for sure, but just maybe the great pyramid, the sphinx and everything of the like pre-date the ancient Egyptians by thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, maybe even more. My hope is that one day we will, as a species, discover our TRUE ancient past!!!
The "predating " theory is common among many people who've studied these locations, including the creator of this channel. I would have to agree 100%. The tube drill holes and saw marks are some of the most amazing evidence in my opinion.
You should check his dedicated video on the stone jars linked in the description.
The wooden handle found from inside the great pyramid queen chamber shaft was carbon dated to about 2500 b.c.
what's funny is how people point to the depictions in hieroglyphs of Egyptians "making" these vessels as if that's proof. Maybe just maybe the Egyptians depicted how they believed those objects were created by their "Gods".
The only way that'll happen is if the rich psychopaths that control all our knowledge give it back to us and more people wake up, realize theyve been lied to on an unimaginable scale. So that'll never happen. Certain people know our true past. The families who print out our fake money have private museums and bought or stole all the artifacts that would prove our true past. The NAZIs and their secret societies werent crazy and they went all around the world looking for certain artifacts. Who knows what the Templars found but they also knew alot more then were told...
First time watching. I’ve always had interest in Egyptian archeology since childhood. I love this and thank you for a great video!
Thank you so much! Truly incredible!
Great video i like the attention to detail ! Well done
Well, you know what they say: They sure don't make stone vases like they used to.
🤣 yeah, makes ya think alright.
Thanks Ben, great video! More proof that Egypt is much older than it's current residents.
This is so intriguing. Thank you for sharing it.
freaking awesome dude. thank you
It is so great to get a first hand look at these pieces. I thank you for your time and knowledge, and sharing with the public !
👍🇨🇦✌️
Thanks for sharing this video with all of us. I never seen such beautiful hand tooling and never seen Egypt before now . It shows how far advanced Egyptians was and before their own time's. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel
Brilliant documentary! Thank you.
I love all of your videos. I find ancient history very fascinating and you make it fun to watch. Keep up the great work
Excellent thank you for bringing this to light. As a geophysicist and mineralogist this is extremely impressive.
There is another theory which has appeared lately that proposes that most of the limestones and massive blocks used in the pyramids and temple construction were actually geopolymers (cements) made with different recipes depending on the purpose of the final stone. This would certainly explain why the monoliths fit together perfectly and why the outer casing bricks could be made with such various polygonal shapes. If they were cast instead of cut, one could simply reuse the moulds to mass produce these stones. Also, in many of the granite blocks one can see a multitude of crushed stones and many of them look like mozaic cement that we produce in our cycle from cement mixed with various small crushed stones. Also it would explain why those boxes and lids have such flawless shapes.
Im not saying this is IT, but it's certainly a possibility.
@@mancamiatipoola "Im not saying this is IT, but it's certainly a possibility."
No its not even if you ignore the fact its a lot more work! and takes longer and more resources!
How did they position the 1000s of cut shells in each block to perfectly line up on the edges?
And uhhh
WTF WOULD THEY DO IT?🤦♂️🤣
"many of the granite blocks one can see a multitude of crushed stones and many of them look like mozaic cement "
NO THEY LOOK LIKE GRANITE!
Loved this bunches. The information alone is so provocative but the presentation was excellent.
