Ancient Acoustic Carving: Did the Ancient Sculptors Use Sound to Shape Stone?

Electromagnetism, combustion, compressed air; these are the technological staples which we use to process and move large masses of stone and other materials in modern times. Compressed air or pneumatics, in particular, has been used to create huge mega-sculptures such as Mount Rushmore and Stone Mountain monument in Decatur, Georgia. But even with these tools, it still took modern artists well over a decade to complete these projects. What tools did ancient peoples create to assist them in their great sculptures such as the Great Sphinx, the Moai of Easter Island, and the Colossi of Memnon? Could acoustics have served this purpose. On this channel, we’ve looked at the possibility of a powerful sonic technology in ancient times as implied in legends and anecdotal accounts passed down from those eras. And we’ve seen some hints as how that might work at least on a smaller scale. But if the ancients did have a sonic technology that was powerful enough to lift and/or propel multi-ton blocks over the Earth’s surface, then is it also reasonable to speculate that that same power would have been employed to cut and sculpt stone as well? Were huge tuning forks and other vibratory devices used for this purpose?

Little known effect: the handle of a tuning-fork is moving lengthwise. A longitudinal vibration. That's why the sound grows loud when the tip of the handle is pressed against a wall or table surface. With a really big tuning-fork, pressing the tip of the handle against a solid surface is creating an "acoustic drill" effect. A high-frequency jackhammer. It's easy to apply 50 or 100lbs of pressure by hand. Do it under water, and you should get cavitation damage and faster drilling. (Perhaps try de-gassed, pre-boiled cold water.) Add some fine grinding-powder or fine quartz sand between the handle-tip and the solid surface, for added abrasive action. Or try including a chisel, or a hard tip to the end of your tuning-fork handle. Maybe even extend the handle, so it could submerge in water, yet leave the fork in air. Or perhaps use a piece of stone as the tuning-fork handle-tip, where the stone gradually turns into abrasive sand, to both eat up the handle while also eating through your workpiece. (Even add a hollow tube-drill. Rotate the entire assembly, and it sinks through the workpiece as the tube is slowly turned. Petrie magic! The wider the spacing between the tuning-fork's two tines, the more hammering-movement we get from the handle. Stretch a wire between the tips of handles of two large, identical tuning-forks, and the forks will naturally run at 180deg phase, converting the wire into a sort of high-frequency band-saw. We'd only need to "ring" one of the tuning forks, and the other would be driven automatically, via the wire. It's like a stone-cutting cable-saw, but vibratory. Imagine a tuning-fork made of granite, with a diorite sphere attached to the handle tip, held under water, and rapidly eating right into the granite bulk in the quarry. Flowing water carries away the granite powder. Keep striking the tines, to power the tool. (Or, use some sort of violin-bowing arrangement, to drive the granite fork constantly.) Must keep replacing the diorite spheres as they become abraded away.

[@zacharyphillips9294]

I’d love to see a visual image of what your describing. My small mind is having a hard time comprehending. I understand the concept your getting across but hard to visualize.

[@wbeaty]

@@zacharyphillips9294 Must build a large one, and make a video! A big tuning-fork becomes a jack-hammer. Don't use the vibrating tines, instead use the tip of the handle as an acoustic drill, pushing down with large weights and high pressure. (I suspect that the "drilling" effect may involve cavitation-damage, and drills rapid holes when submerged under water ...but otherwise may barely work at all.) The real challenge is to drive a tuning fork continuously. Don't just hit it with a hammer, where it only rings briefly. Instead, use some sort of rotating, leather covered wheel to rub against the tines, plus some bow-rosin. Then when you turn the crank, it "squeals" the tuning-fork constantly, similar to a violin. Or, drive the tuning fork with some sort of thermo-acoustic oscillator arrangement. (Better use earplugs.)

This is something I was asking myself too. Yes I do think that some civilizations cut these stones in this shaped with pure handwork and basic tools but at the same time when I’m looking at sculptures from the ancient Egyptian world, especially the ancient Egyptian world, I can’t and I won’t accept that this was done with basic gadgets. It’s too clean cut out for that. Even the size of those sculptures makes it more impossible. These are sculptures that even with todays technology can not be achieved this magnificent. So it’s clear that we’re definitely missing out on something very very very big in history. And that’s a completely different way of technological understanding. Thank you a lot for these videos.

Yeah you can clearly see a difference between hand carved items and the statues, blocks, sarcophagus, and most impressive even though a smaller scale the granite vases which are being measured by uncharted X youtube channel and are shown to be perfect to thousands of an inch and some being only a few millimeters thick carved out of granite and even harder stones. I don't understand how anyone can look at these objects and believe they were made by copper chisels and pounding blocks. Some people are so brainwashed they cannot think for themselves and only believe whatever the mainstream tells them.

[@hawkeye1370]

Very interesting stuff, yes I think they must have came up with some very clever ways of doing things that we are probably only still figuring out, despite them not having the types of technologies we have today. Also apparently burning around granite can weaken it considerably, and could explain the "scoop marks" found around things such as where obelisks were cut out.

[@gsutton78]

I agree, especially after discovering the account of an experiment by Japanese researchers in 1978. They attempted to build a model pyramid 20 meters high using the "primitive" tools and techniques proposed by mainstream archeology/Egyptology. Ultimately, the experiment failed and they had to resort to a pyramid half as high. But the real revelation is that they eventually had to bring in modern 1978 technology including electric saws, railroad tracks, and even a helicopter to cut, move, and lift the stones in order to get the model pyramid built by the preset deadline. That says a lot.

In order to more fully experiment your premis, have you considered forging various sized tuning forks or, having some steel rods bent for you into tuning forks by a local metal shop? Placing the copper wire between the tines and testing it on granit fragments you can buy really cheap ot a headstone shop. The amount of heat needed to bend the steel can be achieved by using a map gas torch which can be bought at the hardware store. I was wondering if you take the wire, string it between two forks but put the wire down onto the rod portion of the forks. If you strike the forks un unison would it cut?

I have a mug with a picture on it that shows an ancient Egyptian standing before a sitting pharaoh, holding a tuning fork in his right hand that has a fork on it that is not perfectly U-shaped, but is more like a rounded oval shape. The 2nd standing ancient Egyptian is demonstrating a device to the pharaoh that is V-shaped. His left hand is moving up and down a ‘stick’ on the top as he holds it parallel to the floor, and his right hand is holding some kind of a rod attached to the other, upper ‘stick’ at the V point. This device also has a vertical point sticking up at the V point. This device must have something to do with stone cutting used with the tuning fork.

I read that the ancient Egyptians used lifting machines, perhaps utilizing pulleys, to lift the stones into place for building the pyramids.

Perhaps. Either way, they would have to have used far more sophisticated methods than those traditionally attributed to them. In 1978 Japanese researchers attempted to build a model pyramid 20 meters high using the "primitive" methods espoused by modern science. But they ultimately had to settle for 10 meters, nearly 1/14th the height of the 137 meter Great Pyramid. In the end, they had to use modern 1978 technology, including a helicopter and power saws, in order to get the model pyramid built within the allotted time. Now, that's very telling.

Using sonic tools, like what I suspect the Ancient Egyptian Was Scepter is/represents, matching the resonate frequency of the tuning forks with a separate sound source of some kind, either from chanting/singing, or using instruments like horns, trumpets or possibly even having a group of slaves/workers banging other forks in regular steady intervals to power nearby tools indefinitely as long as needed to work. Basically high frequency jackhammers, bang the fork end of the scepter with a hammer(ankh) and touch the cutting edge on the other end onto the stone and chisel away. Sonic tools with today's electrical technology have proven to work far more efficiently than conventional saws and blades etc; can easily cut through granites and hard stones like butter. We use sonic drills here to dig water wells for people's homes, sometimes having to drill over 5000 feet of solid rock in some places just to find water.

[@CarsCatAliens]

I don't think they would have much of an effect on cutting however interesting nonetheless. Also, I in no way have knowledge on electrical devices or engineering, how reasonable would it be to use the Baghdad battery in series, or parallel to make an ultrasound oscillating device ?

[@gsutton78]

The Baghdad batteries produce very, very low power, even wired together unfortunately. It is, however, possible to generate powerful vibrations using heat differentials, known as thermoacoustics. With what the ancients knew about thermodynamics, I think it's a strong possibility. The Sterling heat engine is actually classified as a thermoacoustic device. What's interesting is that ancient Austroasiatic peoples developed what is called a 'fire piston' in "prehistoric" times. It is a basic heat engine which they used to ignite pieces of timber for fires. It proves that people thousands of years ago possessed a practical understanding of the ideal gas law which states that the temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its pressure. A few modifications to the fire piston concept could transform it into a heat engine. I did a couple videos of thermoacoustics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqisZal3gLeGg7ssi=hRBQI83_Hitm7HFy kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKbcopaoiqeel9Esi=mlkK34yS6tjdS5YX

[@zer0deaths862]

Large tuning forks on long copper pipes or rods with a cutting edge on the bottom, smack the tuning fork on a rock and it starts vibrating, use the cutting edge as a sonic drill, smack the fork again whenever needed. Different size forks create different frequencies that can cut different materials. I firmly believe the "Was-Sceptre" seen in plenty of paintings and hieroglyphics, is a representation of these tools. They obviously would've been very important and prized possessions among the upper class and possibly used ceremonially, like we do with swords and armor and other things today.

[@gsutton78]

I think it could work, though from experience, the energy can still dissipate rather quickly. A power source would likely be needed to make it practical. I think a thermoacoustic system using either ordinary fire or solar heat could fulfill this role: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5y0fJpseLmAeMk.

I wonder if the vibrations last longer when it’s the bottom of the shaft that is the chisel end not one of the arms of the fork …. It might be possible to hold the staff in one hand at a node where there is no vibration and constantly strike the fork with something to keep it going. The key will be to determine the resonant frequency of the particular rock type and have a chisel tipped tuning fork built to the right specs that produces a matching vibration at the tip of the chisel to that of the rocks frequency.

im gonna make a (uneducated) guess that if you have a huge tuning fork (or several) and you "sink it" down into a hole in the rock, it'll make the stone easier to manipulate with (for example) a hammer. In other words, instead of putting the tuning fork on your hammer, fasten it into the stone youre trying to work. Im thinking that would basically fill the stone with energy, and provide that energy with a nice escape route when you knock it with your hammer or chisel. Just like pouring cold water on a very hot stone makes the energy escape the with explosive effects lol. or maybe sink two tuning forks into the stone, and then give it a very powerful whack inbetween the two forks, making the energy want to follow the shortest path between the two forks as theyre vibrating on the same frequency? its fun stuff to think about for sure.

Um. No, it's actually carving the stone like a modern carving tool. Also, in these experiments, the tuning fork isn't tuned to the material itself, so that significantly mitigates its efficacy.

And if we constructed an improved device which could match the resonance of the material or its harmonics, there would be maximum transfer of energy from the tool to the material, resulting in the cutting of the same material with less energy or harder materials with the same energetic input. There've been professional scientific studies showing how vibrations at a particular stones resonance(s) can allow for the crushing/pulverizing of stones with less energy. It follows, then, that they could do the same with cutting and carving. As far as powering such devices, there are ways to do so without electricity. Thermoacoustics being one of those ways.

I don't think humans have ever used flour as a rock mining explosive. Lol!

[@gsutton78]

We're not really talking about mining here, though. Rather this is about surface sculpting. Pressurized water can be used as well.

I believe through prayer and magic which is sound and energy but in our time we think science and in fact they know the power of the spirit

[@demodemo8552]

Awesome video brother,great work and nice presentation.yes the ancient Egyptians were so advanced and we hope to rediscover all of their knowledge . Can you tell me brother what is about thomas henry moray invention of generating electricity from the earth ,what do you think of ether and magnetic energy on our earth and also edwin gray invention of cold electricity the same like thomas. I hope you to answer my questions and to be good and great wherever you are😀💗

[@gsutton78]

Hey brother, thank you so much! I really enjoyed creating this video and conducting the experiments. I've definitely heard of Thomas Moray. I'll refamiliarize myself with his work and get back with you. I hadn't heard of Edwin Gray, but I'll check him out too. Although the ether was supposedly disproven by the Michelson-Morley experiment, I still find it an interesting concept. Apparently, Einstein wasn't all too eager to dismiss it either. Today's science has essentially replaced it with a similar proposal which we know as the Higgs Field as unlike the ether it doesn't mitigate the speed of light which is believed to be constant (while they're also a handful of people who believe that it is not constant). I think the ether model still has some validity. We live in a complex reality, and hence our model must take that complexity into consideration. It may even take more than one model. For instance, look at gravity. Newtonian gravity states that every body exerts an attractive force on every other body. It is envisioned as a force similar to the forces between electrical charges and magnets with similar formulas. Newton's gravity formula is still valid. But Einstein redefined gravity as the curving of the fabric of space. Also, the equivalence principle equates gravity to an acceleration of 9.8m/s2. Both of these concepts are valid as well as Newton's. This is why I don't think we should throw away the aether model. We may need to come back to it at some point as our knowledge of the universe is in a constant state of flux. I'm actually working on another Earth magnetic energy video now which I plan to post within a few days.

[@demodemo8552]

Your welcome brother,in michelson experiment,it's proved that the speed of light is a constant but they didn't prove the non existence of ether, Tesla made a statement that he measured a speeds exceeding that of light.Let's put tesla's statement in consideration,and he didn't believe in einstein's theory at all as he said it's just an art of maths proof tricking ordinary people,and if tesla was right about speed faster than of light ,all einstein's theories are wrong

[@demodemo8552]

I am waiting for next videos to discuss more interesting with you fellow❤💗😀👋

Power was generated how?

[@gsutton78]

In these experiments, it's generated electrically. But I've proposed that in ancient times, one of the ways power could have been generated is via the thermoacoustic principle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5y0fJpseLmAeMk&si=TQ_gPIecXR5g4Bs_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKbcopaoiqeel9E&si=p0SQNWZAOUZgzLnr

[@Mike-hr6jz]

You’re not considering that the Romans actually mind gold out of mountains, using water pressure they had one of the greatest aqueduct systems on the planet. I knew how to use water under pressure today’s water jets can cut stone or steel consider if they knew how to manipulate water and sand under. High pressure

[@gsutton78]

The Romans did have such water systems. But it doesn't appear that all ancient civilizations did. Especially not across the vast megalithic period. They all likely would have used various methods just as we do today depending on the technology and resources immediately available to them.

[@Mike-hr6jz]

Nonsense. We don’t know most of everything they had was destroyed in a huge, cataclysmic flood so we will not know, but all around the world. There’s some very precise, cutting of rock, just like the handbags and many other things that co inside a worldwide civilization but that isn’t the paradigm the elite ruling asses want to project is it?@@gsutton78

[@artor9175]

I can answer the headline conclusively: NO.

[@gsutton78]

Nice try. But I'm looking for something with some actual thought behind it.

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

Ancient aliens? Righto

[@gsutton78]

Not necessarily. Just ancient humans who were much smarter than we give them credit for.

[@timkbirchico8542]

In response to the question in the title the answer is no.

[@gsutton78]

Good try. Thanks. But I'm looking for answers with a little more thought behind it.

[@timkbirchico8542]

the answer is still no. One can see the techniques of stone carving used by the ancient Egyptians on their stellae and friezes @@gsutton78

Anyways keep up the good work! I dropped a link on a JRE video telling people to check you out.

Thanks so much, friend! I might actually create a longer video after I get some more content up. Perhaps even a live show to make it more interactive. I really appreciate the support.
