It appears you wasted your time with a lot of meaningless "math"......... As is always the case with LAHT = your poor assumptions have gotten the better of you as you as is always the case failed to first learn the facts. Sad - but not unexpected as noted. 🤷

If she was doing it as far as making Egyptian style crafts = all her life......... She may be "an artist" by profession but even artists can "specialize" in certain crafts. It is doubtful she has attempted to make many ancient Egyptian style pieces in her life. As you say with repetition = comes enhanced capacity. Craftsmen - today as in antiquity - usually started at an early age. Spend 20 or more years making vases and one would expect high quality results.

If you cannot see the delusional nature of your imbecilic statement there = the world cannot save you I'm afraid........ 🤦🤷 The _"we cannot do it today"_ represents the worst of willful imbecility........... p.s. - you know in Egypt they created = an exact replica of Tut's tomb - including a duplicate quartzite sarcophagus with all the attending decoration. They did it to reduce visitors and hence damage to the original tomb where they limit the number of visitors daily. Your poor assumptions prevent you from joining the rest of mankind out here in the real world - just saying.

Why as what would that supposedly show. Look carefully at the title of the video = *GEOLOGIST* against myths......... This person is a geologist and hence chose the demonstration site based upon similar hardness levels with Egyptian limestone deposits such as the ancient typically used. Also what matter what the tip look like. Do you think ancient craftsmen only possessed a single chisel. Here is an example. Egyptologists have documentation from Deir el-Medina - the worker village of the Valley of the Kings. The gangs who dug the tombs in the valley - out of limestone - had a person whose responsibility was to swap out blunted chisels and weigh them. They weighed them to prevent pilferage of broken pieces since copper was a valuable resource. So obviously they had people who produced chisels and re-sharpened them when applicable. Just as obviously they had a supply of bronze tools for the workforce to maintain a rate of production. Yet using chisels of bronze was not the only way this was done. Gneiss stone tools such as Flint or Dolerite were also commonly used as well. p.s. - there are tombs in the Valley which begin in one direction to go off in another upon their hitting an area of poor limestone deposits. The geology of the Valley reveals = they were careful about where they dug. Your "inference" therefore is meaningless as they were not working deposits of limestone which were not conducive to their purpose. They chose the stone they worked with great care.

​@@varyolla435 Loose,brittle, jagged material, probably weathering, you can't cut a gravestone out of it, the block would even break if you put it on the machine. But the man knows that very well, because he's a sly fox. can't you see him laughing at you? Yes, and as far as the material of the chisel is concerned, the sound and the beard formation on the chisel shaft is similar to that of red brass. An alloy containing silver bronze. Very tough and harder than pure copper. Such kind of chisels are used when you have to clean a hard surface by mortar residue or building chemicals such as granite or glass, without damaging surface.

@@johnwalker1553 So now you repeat yourself as well as devolve into a stereotypical LAHT rationalization of = conspiracy theory........ - got it. p.s. - like all LAHT muppets you as sadly always occurs fail in your "logic" per Occam. To wit: _"the possibility that he might be right after all........."_ Moral: the imaginary world of LAHT is one whereby the believers refuse to accept the reality that = they might be in error after all. Thus as you have here rather than confronting that possibility - which requires far less assumptions per Occam's than your comical assumption of a scam supposedly being perpetrated for which you have zero proof = you gin up excuses to cling to your assumptions.......

Two of the most dangerous statements in human language: _"What if........."_ _"Maybe........"_ Moral: above are more trouble than they are worth because 99.99% of the time what follows = is abject BS......... This is why one must always base supposition upon actual evidence rather than assumptive speculation unsupported by anything tangible. The former can give you plausible explanations whereas the latter often leads to _"imagination run amok."_ If you wish to consider water wheel power = first show evidence of its' existence in the correct historical timeframe. Once you established that then you can consider as to possible application or not.

🎯 These craftsmen were not some rando working in a mud hut. They often reflected as you noted = guilds - who passed down the knowledge and improved upon it with time. I watched a doco some time back which showed a potter in Egypt's western desert working. He had done it since he was a child and could simply by eyeballing and without tools quickly turn out "precise" pieces. He lamented how the new generation had no interest in learning the trade which required as you said apprenticeship beginning as a youth. Thus his generation was likely to be the last. Moral: these skills are inconceivable to some because of the fast-paced, "quick reward" = _"me.......me........me......"_ generation which has no patience nor desire to learn these trades anymore. They are too busy being distracted by social media and their smartphones. 🤦🤷

People who try to rationalize "implausibility" only require that which they perceives supports their preconceptions. This of course means they often fail to account for other relevant variables which might apply as you alluded to. Moral: evolution = only had to work once...... We must therefore always remember that what we see reflects that which worked as what did not prove out successful = died out long ago..... There is ample timespan as far as the age of the Earth to allow for maaaany previous iterations which might have proved to be unsuccessful until something finally clicked. This is why creatards seeing only _"the successful"_ rather than the unsuccessful incorrectly interpret that as our being supposed "perfect" = which in their minds could only be because of a supposed _"Creator."_ It is a confirmation bias driven conclusion.

1 = dispense with the adjectives and adverbs......... 2 - how does one achieve "a line" = using basic techniques like grids and squares achieved using things like hanging weighted lines etc.. Moral: there are an example famous architectural designed buildings in Spain built early in the 20th Century. They incorporate odd angles etc. into their designs. The engineer who designed them did so using = weighted strings........ He would hang weights from a ceiling and then adjust them to the angles/shapes he desired. Using that he then extrapolated anticipated load bearing and so forth to find designs which appealed to him and which were feasible based upon engineering principles = and he built it. The ancient Egyptians used things like weighted strings to determine angles + wooden squares to check _"plumb"_ on the sides of blocks etc. + had knowledge of mathematics and geometry + and used simple grid patterns to create accurate scale when creating something. As an example of the latter. The tomb of Horemheb in the Valley of the Kings was only partially completed when he died. So there are walls there half-done where you can see whereby they created a grid system on the wall ------> someone drew the intended design to be painted to scale ------> a supervisor came behind them to make corrections = before the master craftsman painted the final design. The Egyptians were less "technological" than we are = but they were not stooopid......

No one cares. Go spread your religion at church.

So how did they avoid genetic inbreeding?

All tools wear down. Even modern steel saws as an example go dull eventually despite hardening. The bronze saws here act merely as a guide for the abrasive compound = and that is what does the actual cutting via abrasion/heat. Moral: the saws would eventually be worn down/blunted requiring replacement.* In the meantime however the abrasive compound doing the actual cutting work remains and can be collected up and reused. The thing to remember is that not everything was sawed/chiseled using bronze tools. There is ample evidence of the Egyptians using gneiss stone tools like Flint or Dolerite etc. as depicted in other videos. Sawing would be only used for specialized cases where a particularly close edge was required - like say the joints of casing blocks on the pyramid. * - there are archeological accounts from Deir el-Medina. The gangs who dug the tombs had a person whose job was to collect the bronze tools and weigh them. Copper being a valuable resource which can be melted down and recast meant they were wary of pilferage of broken tools. Tools were constantly being replaced and repaired/recast when warranted - meaning they had a supply on hand.

Again......... = really. 🤦🤷 How many time are you muppets going to use this pathetic argument. Moral: just as with Ben's farcical "measurements" = you *ASSUME* a supposed desire to achieve a given dimensional outcome............... Thus one more time = where is your evidence to support such an assumption???? Before you say the measurements of "X" vase = that is circular reasoning............ You cannot hold up a single example* of something claimed subjectively as supposed proof of the same. By that standard I can claim the meteor impacts on the surface of the Moon were a result of a alien bombardment long ago = using the meteor impacts as my supposed evidence of the same. Never mind I fail to show the aliens were actually real and they bombarded as I claimed. That is classical "arguing from ignorance" and circular reasoning as noted. Ben measured a vase = okay - so what...... Measurements of a vase give you = measurements of a vase - nothing more. Everything Ben then claims based upon those measurements = is _"conjecture"_ - of a subjective nature as noted. It is also a _"sophistry"_ based argument which is assumptive. This Ben measurement nonsense grows old..... Please find a new one. * - where is the duplication then = for Ben's part.......... After all if as he claims it could not be done by hand that only leaves a technology of some kind - which he naturally fails to identify. Ergo = we should see loads of examples of duplicate vases of similar dimensions given this fact = yet we do not........ That per Occam means the vase - assuming it is not a fake by the way - is _"a one-off"_ reflecting the work of a skilled craftsmen rather than a machine of some type. Your assumptions are getting the better of you - just saying.

This "experiment" proves nothing. There is a granite box inside a cave I think under one of the Ghiza pyramids, there are a lot of videos about it. And scientists have measured it not only in the outside, which is easy, but also in the inside corners and unions of the vertical walls. And they have found that the cuts have been done with a precisison at least equal to the most advanced cutting machines mankind have in the present day. There is no way that this guy could do the same cuts he does so happily on a random piece of granite IF HE TRIES TO ACHIEVE THE SAME DEGREE OF PREFECTION CUTTING A SOLID PIECE OF GRANITE INTO A BOX LIKE THAT IN THE CAVE. So his experiment proves absolutely nothing.

But = when did they have them. Remember that the Egyptian dynastic civilization existed for 3 millennia. It was also a vassal of the Persians/Greeks/Romans and then the Arabs. So to consider possible technology one must first ascertain what period you refer to.

Ah........ = read the description - just saying. It is Dolomite which has a hardness level on par with Limestone. If you want a demonstration of granite being shaped using Flint they have other videos.

Why turn a megalith............ - just saying. 🤨

Only if he exists and only if evolution was his way to do it. Otherwise: nope.

It is not required to be Christian. People can believe in what they want.

As Willy Wonka would say: _"strike that - reverse it."_ Moral: no one has actually ever seen this supposed "God" - of which coincidentally there are maaaaany iterations in the historical record. Hence everything you think you know or have ever heard about "God" actually = comes from man....... - man of long ago by the way. People back then believed things as supposedly true that you would today laugh at. The men who wrote the Bible and created the Christian religion thousands of years ago would today not qualify to enter High School absent remedial education = yet this is who you are basing your worldview upon......... - let that sink in and marinate a bit. *MAN* = created "God" in his own image............... - fixed that for you.

Of course. People who often base their supposed reality - not upon evidence and evaluation - but rather upon subjective "belief" = invariably end up supposedly seeing things which are more a manifestation of their assumed beliefs than reality. Confirmation bias for them is truly a bytch........ 🤷

Please learn biology

I can't believe that in the 21st Century we still have despite access to public education in most of the world = people who spout imbecilic statements such as you just did............ So what was it then = _"home schooled"_ - or _"grade inflation."_ 🤷🤦

Give me a Good explanation were monkeys came from._. And the earth cause clearly I can't break a glass bottle and say that It broke by itself there's a cause for the creation of The universe the same way with the bottle._.

@@Starlia_546 again learn biology

@@Chase_baker_1996 Meh._.

Craftspeople who work with stone to create things like jewelry etc. will sometimes used "polishing stones" to smooth a surface out - though today there is obviously many handheld tools like dremels etc. to do the same with less work. What matters is that if your goal is to fashion the side of say an obelisk as you allude to then only chipping away gives you = an rough, uneven surface. If however using rounded hammer stones you systematically "abrade" a surface - meaning polish it = then you can end up with your "scoop marks". Moral: a row of workers sitting there with stones repeatedly scrapping from top to bottom as high as they can reach in front of them will eventually give you your "scoop". After than you hammer away the edge ridges of each scoop tract and proceed to sand the surface to its' final side - checking as you go using a square.

Overcuts? That is a popular grift by alternative gurus selling guided tours.

@@Eyes_Open what is it then? sure looks like an over cut. i watched these people with the copper tools. show the glyphs of Egyptians doing what you say.... i watched them move 3 cm through granite... over four days. these things weren't built by wet copper saws and sand any more then those statues were chiseled with that precision by hand... doesn't seem likely. present your compelling evidence... this isn't it. they had to hand a 12 inch saw back and forth over and over to get a cm into the granite. even better... go try it yourself. you won't buy it anymore. seriously. and don't give me incredulity. not a data point. show your evidence that there WEREN'T circular tools... show me how you drill a 10" diameter hole into granite with sand and a copper tool.. i haven't seen anything that makes that case. and I've gone through this with you "skeptics" before.

@@rodanone4895 I see lots of questions premised upon incredulity = but alas...... - no understanding of the facts. That of course is soup du jour for LAHT denial rationalization. 🤷 So all is not lost here is a freebie. How often would the Egyptians need to "saw a block"??? Answer: very rarely...... There is ample evidence that stone of all types were regularly worked using = gneiss stone tools to hammer/chip out the desired shape which was then polished smooth where required using an abrasive medium. Even block surfaces - read flat surfaces - could be obtained by this method. The unfinished obelisk as an example reveals on its' top side which was not completed the pockmarked surface of having been hammered into shape. Had it not been abandoned it would of course have been sanded smooth and hieroglyphs eventually added - using pointed stone tools like Flint. So actual sawing of blocks would not be employed save for special cases - such as perhaps casing stones or maybe a sarcophagus or the walls of a tomb. Yet would the Egyptians have no known before these things were built how much and of what size would be required - while quarries as today run in continuous operation. This means already quarried blocks or partially quarried ones are usually on hand while they might have years before the required blocks are actually placed in a pyramid or whatever. If you look at the Serapeum as an example it was in use for ~1,600 years and new niches were added at a rate of a few = a century....... This means they might have 10 or even 20 years to produce a new sarcophagus for the next Apis Bull internment.

Well, people can believe in a religion, or they could believe in this. Both of them are fine. But it is not bad to be religious.

@@S3AM0NSTER There are something like 30,000 religions. You have a right to believe in any of them. Beliefs exist in the human mind and cannot be distinguished from delusions. In other words, a 'Belief' is an idea that neither seeks nor requires verifiable evidence. If there were verifiable empirical evidence that a supernatural entity existed, then it would be logical to believe in such. Lacking such evidence, belief is not logical. Science is not a matter of belief; it proceeds from evidence to a conclusion. What anyone thinks, feels, or believes is irrelevant to science. One's religion or personal philosophy are quite apart from the study of science, however, most Christians accept evolution as fact and it is officially accepted as such by the Episcopalian, Catholic, Presbyterian and United Methodist churches, among others. It is only fundamentalist Christian and Muslim sects that insist on literal interpretation of scripture.

God was a tremendous invention and a great benefit to mankind. Before man created God, they felt really stupid. Confronted with any question, all they could say was "Fuck, I don't know" and no matter how hard they thought, they couldn't think of a better answer. Then someone came up with the brilliant idea of God. It was wonderful, it obviated the need to think about anything. The answer could always be "Fuck, I don't know, it must be God." Problem solved. The "God concept" alleviated the need to think about mundane things and they could concentrate on serious questions, like "How many angels can fit on the head of a pin?" There was no incentive for human intellect to advance beyond that of ancient goat herders. Religions need to perpetuate ignorance in order to preserve their influence.

*Why Do Humans Keep Inventing Gods to Worship?* Psychology Today (July 6, 2021) asks that question and notes that at least 18,000 different gods, goddesses and various animals or objects have been worshiped by humans. It has been estimated that more than 80 percent of today's global population considers themselves religious or spiritual in some form. There has never been any evidence for ANY of them, yet it appears that believing in the absence of evidence is more important to some people than the pursuit of truth based on evidence.

All you Christians need to shut the fuck up. You can believe in God or whatever, no one cares. But stop telling people it’s bad to believe in anything besides Christ. They can believe in this if they want. Stop being a dick.

What box - and more importantly = when does it date to........ Moral: Elephantine Island contains temples. While the earliest dates to the beginning of Dynastic Egypt = those were also the crudest ones........ Temples there were in some cases repeatedly renovated/rebuilt beginning later in the Old Kingdom period to the New Kingdom period and later. If you wish to consider how something was made as far as technology you must first = place it in the correct period - since the Egyptian civilization lasted ~3K years - and a lot can happen in that much time as far as improved technology.

What wonder..........

Now try again with rationality.

@@Eyes_Open thanks lol

@@Kitties-of-Doom Hope the autumn is treating you well.

Back again I see.......... Tell me = do you LAHT trolls have a fixed repertoire of sockpuppet accounts you are responsible for. Do not think we failed to notice how while the arguments never really change = the accounts making them are cyclical......... How long before this iteration returns as it has in the past for the next flurry of nonsense??

@@Eyes_Open likewise :)

Credit cards maxed out and no coupons or sales going on at Lowes or Home Depot to obtain them.........

@@varyolla435 Yes well I don’t believe it takes more than 5,000 years to invent electricity & electric drills!

When = does a thing date to.............. Moral: the Egyptian civilization existed directly for 3 millennia. During that time older sites were often added to - or used as raw material to build something else. This means a site originally built in say the Old Kingdom might see it added to or used as raw material to build something during the New Kingdom or even later. Also the Arabs who later came to control Egypt for centuries stripped ancient sites for stone to build things continuing until the 19th Century. So for all you know any drill holes or saw marks represent ones done loooong after the initial creation of some site by people with iron/steel tools. What Pharaoh/Vizier would want something built using such obviously flawed blocks = unless they were using recycled stone to save money........

No, there are no ancient tube drill holes with unbroken spirals. You are spreading false claims.
