Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Remember when they said Ancient Egyptian stones were so precise, that a Razorblade, or even a hair couldn't fit between them? Well, THIS is what they meant by that.
Did the the Egyptians have a lost ancient technology? The details outlined in this video show just how mysterious the ancient Egyptians actually are.
What is this based on? I can think of a range of depictions (and texts) of working stone from Egypt - there isn't a huge amount, but it's certainly non-zero.
One example of a series of images of stonecarving comes from the tomb of Rekhmire at Thebes (TT100). These are part of a broader program showing various craft industries.
Here is a drawing of one of the panels. It depicts statuary being carved - two of them large enough to require scaffolding. The tools used look for the most part like known types of stone chisels and pounders. A construction ramp is also shown here - of which some are known archaeological in context with pyramids.
Another image from the same tomb shows blocks of stone being worked with hammers and chisels. Drawing here.
The images from this tomb are explicit depictions of stoneworking.
We have a papyrus from the Old Kingdom that documents transport of stone from Tura to Giza, and mentions the great pyramid by name. Here (PDF) is a translation and analysis.
There is debate as to the exact context of the work done here, but the same type of limestone was used at Giza, including for casing the great pyramid. While it's plausible that this documents work done on the pyramid, either way it speaks to the specifics of quarrying and transporting large volumes of stone to construction sites.
Who is arguing for sawing here though?
Obviously the casing blocks and others meant to be seen in the pyramids were worked to fairly precise tolerances - but the core masonry was fairly rough. The difference between them is visible on the Bent Pyramid, where the casing is well preserved. For work like this, laborious sawing really isn't needed.
A recent experimental archaeology project was done to reproduce one of the core blocks (again, different from the more carefully dressed casting). Here is an article (in French) discussing that experiment. L’extraction des blocs en calcaire à l’Ancien Empire. Une expérimentation au ouadi el-Jarf (PDF).
Based on the time needed to cut the block in the experiment, the total workforce can be estimated. Obviously dressing masonry like the casing would take longer - the experimental rates for reproducing a block of the core masonry is plausible. The numbers here are reasonable.
I love your videos! You were gone for a while, I'm glad you are posting again :)
I never noticed you on Reddit, your videos are great.
Heya Jimmy, I wondered about these seams, especially those ones you mentioned in Peru. They look almost melted, like they were soft at one point. One day I was looking at a pane of glass in my 85 year old house, how the glass distorted over time with the pull of gravity. I idly considered the possibility that rock can behave similar to glass, that under pressure and over hundreds or thousands of years, could it compress, almost like glass does. I know it’s a bit of a leap. Maybe theses stones are far far older than is commonly accepted.
Edit: I did some searching and apparently glass does not flow over time… it’s a common misconception and it has to do with how glass panes were cut out of a large uneven piece back in those days.
Ok we get it. There's no way all of this was done the way the official narrative claims. You're getting close but just shy of saying the word conspiracy. Obviously you're not the first person to figure this out. I suspect everything you claim in your video has been understood for centuries by many but has been covered up. Big question for me is why? Why hide the fact that special building technology and techniques didn't exist?
i love this man back at it again with ANOTHER BANGER !!!!
What about using sound vibration, stone against stone to sand them smoothly together
