MASSIVE Tube Drills, Overcuts, and Melted Granite at Karnak and Luxor Temples!

[@UnchartedX]

Thanks for watching! Please consider supporting UnchartedX via the value-for-value model at unchartedx.com/support . Just wanted to add a little postscript context here: In the section on the crumbling grano-diorite, Yousef mentions that Schoch said he didn't think it could happen by moving the stone from one location to another. He said that because just before this he'd talked about how there is a statue (made from granodiorite) that seems to be in a similar condition, and the archaeologists theorized that the crumbling occurred because it was moved. I just didn't record all of that hence it's not in the video, but that's why Yousef said Schoch was doubting that it could be caused by moving the stone. In case you were wondering :)

Couldn't think of better examples of finely articulated presentations. Coupled with great tunes and fantastic raw footage not bound by film production and bad acting as we see so frequently with Egyptian documentaries and the like. I also greatly appreciate a HUMAN voice narrator, having done all this work himself (Filming, editing, narrating, researching, etc.) truly makes it a work of art. I really am not thrilled with A.I. videos and narrators. The effort speaks for itself. I am optimistic that because of these well structured and data driven documentaries, there will be a day when enough private funding drives the scientific (establishment) community in the right direction regarding our past, and especially Egypt's history, thankful for those like Youseff. Objects such as that at 51:10 should immediately challenge the theory of proposed technology and capabilities, and when proven that it was not possible (as it seems to be so) that should well indicate we have a perfect example of "2 industries." This is not a hard realization.

[@TheRotnflesh]

Ancient Egypt was Kemet and was populated by black Africans. It was the pinnacle of their post-Younger Dryas civilization, built on the ruins of the older 'Atlantean' civilization. They had rebuilt many technologies of the old age by the year 3100, but a modern-era cataclysm in the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean (Burckle Crater, and 2 possible craters off the southwest coast of Greece) ended that civilization's progress, as well as any other that may have been developing (Mediterranean, western Africa, India, Polynesia, Java, Indonesia, southern China, eastern Africa..there are chevrons all over thos places). Over 100 years of instability in Egypt led to the uniting of northern and southern Egypt under Menes, whose people were likely the Natufians of the Levant (Eurasia). The lack of understanding and sophistication led to a rapid decline in the production quality of goods and services of that emerging nation, and the means to produce the same could not be found in the south, where the "remetch en Kermet" (or people of the Black Lands) went to upon the founding of Egypt. Those people had been living throughout Kemet for 6,000 years. They had settled there after the YD and built a nation with sea-faring boats (founding modern civilizations in the Americas, India, China, after the 3100 catacylsm), sharing knowledge. Their history is not acknowledged by modern Egyptians, and for good reason: It means all of the pre-Dynastic artifacts, temples, causeways, quarries, and statues are NOT theirs to claim as cultural heritage. They are frauds and only entitled to things not so questionably sophisticated. They just didn't have the base knowledge and land-history to do it.

I've said this before, but I can't stress it enough: Thank you Ben for all the work you're putting into this. The video evidence, photos, 3D scans, tours, break downs, history, and amazing videos about all of these subjects. Never in my life would I have predicted, many years ago sitting bored out of my mind in history class, that I'd be interested in history. Current history, and to a large extent current schools, are devoid of passion and curiosity. This is why I think Ben is such a great teacher, even as an "amateur" (in all but name), and why his channel and videos are so enthralling, because he's still passionate and curious, to question the dogma and explore alternatives, with clear dedication and hard work. With the advent of the internet and the mainstream being revealed for what it is, the impassioned amateur, regardless of subject, will pass over the accredited collegiate "scholars", who've stuck their feet into the ground, refusing to budge, refusing to question, refusing to explore, refusing the most basic tenet of learning: curiosity. "Amateurs" like Ben are the clear future for discovery, and why they're so vociferously slandered by the mainstream academics, who know their time is up, and can't refute the evidence presented. Truly amazing work Ben. Thank you.

It defies explanation! I never noticed until this video- the granite that was left behind/under the goatee and between the arms/legs of the mega-statues at Luxor. They are right angles as if these figures were cut with straight edge/line tools in a single pass. This is exactly how a CNC cuts designs into foam or how you would design say action figures in a small 3D printer- then after it is done you go behind the beard or arm or whatever and clean up/cut away the uncut portions with a dremel tool or Xacto knife…just wow!

Can't wait to get on to this, I know it's going to be masterwork. Luxor and Karnak are to me one of the most mysterious sites in Egypt, and I believe that they are the remnants of a pre-ice age capital city, later re-used by bronze age Egyptians.

[@Eye_Exist]

I hate to throw outlandish ideas like this, but to me the inside-out damaged granite pillars brought me an idea of some sort of futuristic energy/radiation weapon fired at the site, which is designed to especially destroy stone structures. something which "boils" the stone using the molecular structure of the stone to create heat in the object. the matter on the outer layers would be less affected, as there's less molecular bonds around the area, and counter-wise in the center of the block, which is entirely surrounded by the molecular structure the effect would be the greatest. i know the idea is far out there, but give me more conventional way to cause the effect.

This, I think, is your best presentation so far. The examples of stone deteriorating from the inside out perplexes me. The closest thing I can think of is case hardening, where, for example, glass is heated and then quenched, so the outer layer is compressively-stressed. This gives it greater strength than the original material, but when it does break, it will completely shatter.

@@ferventheatAs I have understood it the reason for the deterioration is because of the salts in the ground of the site which when it rains gets sucked up into the rock. This has been a very great problem and the only help found so far is to rest these stones off the ground on a wooden structure.

Among the species recorded in artwork from the late Predynastic Period (before 3100 BC) but no longer found in Egypt, is this because it was wetter before and this would explain the older granite blocks the guide is talking about at time 30:00. I visited the step pyramid and a guide took us on part of Unas's walkway and into the tomb, I noticed one of the Hyroglyphs was different as a man was not wearing the angled skirt but was wearing what looked like a pair of knee length shorts the guide looked at my shorts and then back to the hieroglyph several times and said in 20 years of working here I have never seen that before! so there is always something new to see no matter how many times you go and look.

I use to be a painter decorator, and missing a drill hole by a few millimetres makes it a nightmare to make another drill hole next to your previous one, even with modern, high quality tools. These guys clearly have the equivalent of a CNC machine. That thing was EXTREMELY sturdy, extremely fast and didn't care about whether there was material or not, it would just go down and do its thing. That artefact alone is why I can't comprehend skepticism. That thing alone proves that we GREATLY misunderstand their tools. Any skeptic can be convinced by drilling 2 holes overlapping each other. Either they're of extreme bad faith or have never used a drill in their entire life.

[@tomszabo7350]

The problem is assuming their drills were anything like the drills of today. This is the same issue with the idea of using a copper tube ... why would they have used a drill that itself takes many times longer to make than the hole that it creates??? No, their drills would have been very different from what all these researchers have come up with; of simple yet ingenious construction... for example thin sheets of material mounted on a radial base ... logs to which cutting strips are lashed with rope, or beams.with cutting strips driven into them and with a pivot hole in the middle. These drills could not only be spun easily but rocked back and forth which is how you get the spiral gooves and also be able to cut four overlappimg holes.

[@hoosierrampage1877]

Maybe they took pieces of wood with the holes already cut in them and clamped them down to the surface of the rock. This would hold the drill steady as it started insure correct spacing and act as a guide to keep the hole straight. Problem solved no CNCing required. Thinking the ancients were smarter than a lot of the presents.

[@SLRModShop]

@@hoosierrampage1877 "Thinking the ancients were smarter than a lot of the presents." I agree with that, more or less. They were just as smart but with less technology so, they were using their brain more. Yes, there is a need for complex machinery. Keep watching his videos, there are drills in places where there is no place for anything beside the drill bit. Using wood could explain some of holes/cuts (but not their speed though), but a lot of things would get you thrown out of a modern factory for asking them to make them... They'll tell you straight away "we don't have the tools to do that" I'll find the video I'm think of and drop a link.

[@SLRModShop]

check out "Elephantine Island" from 9 months ago. Good luck explaining that one. 2 axis prevent them from attaching any form of machinery. The machine could work with a displaced bit AND is no bigger than 2 metres long... Also, there is a flaw with your thinking. If the machine needed to be attached to some giant rocks, it means that they were bringing pieces there... Some of those piece were 30Tons... I let you imagine what the process looked like... I watched so many of these videos, seen so many things that I have no doubt that these guys had some sort of CNC. And that's my conservative opinion. @@hoosierrampage1877

[@nicksothep8472]

Beutiful presentation as usual, and yes, can't wait for Chris Dunn's new book, I've been dreaming about it for quite a while, since "Lost Technologies" came out quite a few years ago, almost 15 now, it's incredible to think how long it's been, how time flies and how much the public's perception has radically changed since then, Chris Dunn is an absolute legend, he's the voice of reason in a sea of madness, he is meticulous and scientific, the only reason he isn't taken seriously by the scientific community, is because they don't like what he has to say, which is childish, at best. So anyway, I agree the large tube drill hole is the pivot point for a gigantic door, it's the same conclusion i reached myself just by looking at the pictures. What I would do to witness this technology in its heyday, I would definitely give up, let's say, five years of my life, to travel back in time around 12.000 years ago and witness the grandure of this massive empire.

[@MarioBuildreps]

We think that Karnak was originally oriented to Pole VII, which means it is probably around 500kyrsyears old. The high erosion of granite and crumbling of granite from the inside is mysterious indeed, something that is unlikely to occur over even a period of 50kyrs. The longer periods last, the more unexplainable things can happen. It's all about time.

It is theorized that an electrical current uses mostly the surface area of a wire and very little will travel down the core. I'm not sure what the theory is with granite...

Granite has crystals that when struck by lightning, the concussion of the lightning bolt, followed by the thunder could induce a electrical current called piezoelectric. Very similar to a BBQ lighters...

[@robertrust9223]

Your model ignores, disobeys, and is contradicted by free body rotational dynamics, i.e, physics; thusly, it fails, as much as you are proud of and cherish it. The Earth is a free body rotating in space. When the crust slips/shifts in one direction, increasing its dynamic equilibrium as Earth rotates, it becomes a free body in its own right, and the following slip/displacement can only possibly be in another direction at a great angle, around 255 degrees, to the previous slip/displacement direction, obeying rotational dynamics involving forces applied to already-spinning objects, the uniquely composited Earth and crust in the case. To slip/displace in any direction to its spin/rotation, the crust must have a constant force applied to it going in a different direction, 45 degrees in ideal theory, but around 35 degrees in non-ideal Earth-crust situation (random fissure pattern, liquid crust viscosity, oblate Earth shape, etc.) to the slip direction, due to the rotation of the crust. A spinning bicycle wheel provides the ideal example. Simple analysis shows that this crust shift pattern will repeat 5 times to create a five-pointed star pattern of geographical poles including the original geographical pole location returned to. The set of five displacements going on forever, causing the geographical poles to slowly move around the planet while the continents are endlessly reshaped. Probabilities are innately based on assumptions, making the assumption/probability method that you employ exceedingly vulnerable to and full of error. I'm a graduated mechanical engineer, engineers design working objects by knowns, not unknowns, else failure is guaranteed and comes soon. Probabilities are unknowns, one has to work around them, not with them, to be successful. Working with probabilities means failure, no matter how "sure" or "likely" the probability may be. Guessing is guessing, never a method to ascertain fact, other than the fact that a guess is a guess, worth less than the hot air it comes with. If you want to gain scientific credibility, you need to take into account free body dynamics and explain how your model behaves in accordance with it. You will find that impossible to do because it is impossible, your model is dead wrong. It simply does not agree with rotational dynamics. Fact is fact. A rotating object cannot possibly rotate in a new direction parallel to the applied force direction, it will always go off at an orthogonal angle to both the applied force and rotation. Try it out, do an experiment, whip out a bicycle wheel spinning on an axel, learn, cry, wipe the tears away, start over, the strict discipline of science. The Earth's rotating crust, when it becomes a slipping/displacing free body during a crustal displacement, will act similarly to the spinning wheel when a force is applied perpendicular to or at any angle to its spin direction. Perhaps you need to educate yourself in physics first. You should be able to find some spinning bike wheel or similar demonstrations online.

[@carbontetlabs8606]

As far as the mysteriously crumbly granite around 33:30, it occurs to me, if the stones were gradually and uniformly heated to some fairly warm temperature, and then conditions rapidly changed to be much colder, the inside of the columns would still be thermally expanded relative to average while the outermost layers would cool and contract. Some sort of blizzard in the desert? Maybe more evidence for fire? If it was just from eons of thermal cycling it would be biased to one direction because of the sun, definitely a tantalizing piece of the puzzle!

Hi Ben, I was recently in Karnak and asked our guide how they erected the large obelisk inside and amongst the buildings in the temple (in your opening credits). It is surrounded very closely by buildings - rammed in - so it could not have been dragged in on its side and then erected, as there was no room to do that. It is in the middle of the temple. He said the usual explanation, was that it was put on a base filled with sand and as the sand ran out it went upright. That was ridiculous, as there were no holes in the base to let any sand run out. He had no other explanations ! Nearby, was the most beautiful large green diorite door surround, to pass from one area to another. It was the most beautiful thing there and was huge and must have weighed tons ! It was smooth and immaculately carved.

A lot of these obelisks have probably been used to transfer electricity, or some other form of energy, through the air and in case of overload, these obelisks could have overheated from the inside out, causing them to expand from the inside, making the outside crumble and making the whole more brittle from the heat. Just a thought.

One thing that really just boggles my mind is thinking about just how long it would actually take for the dynastic Egyptians to carve all of these granite monoliths etc using their “accepted” methods of production. Like, it seems to me that even if you had like 10,000 people working on it non stop all day you would be lucky to make about a small columns worth of progress. It just doesn’t math up for me, but hey I’m no doctor.

[@sshreddderr9409]

dont forget that the object have a limited surface area. realistically, you cannot have that many people working on them at once, and forget perfectly sized and spaced palm crowns and other evenly spaced and sized details. you might have 10-30 people at most being able to work on a big column at once without limiting each other, and 30 maybe if it is standing upright if you are generous. obviously the non monolithic dynastic sandstone columns can have more workers because of the parts offering more surface area to work on at once.

[@PhilipCockram]

Those are great questions , the logistics and engineering always fascinated me . Life lesson learned and an important thing to note , is that you just can't throw people at a job to make it instantly go faster . They need materials , tools and lots of other support . And room to work . Coincidentally , you can only make ropes so big for humans and animals to work with . We know what material they used and had available to make the ropes and have done tensile strength engineering testing on them ....repeatedly . This is one particular rabbit hole I encourage others to visit ......But I'll give you the short answer . The numbers don't add up . You can't physical fit the number of ropes needed AROUND some of the heavier objects to move them . Cheers .

@@jebbart no its not. 1. the rate of removal alone is impossible even when excluding all the non obvious labor and being unreasonably generous. You can not have an unlimited number of people working on a sculpture or stone at once, there is only a finite surface area, so more people is not an answer. and before the rock is fully excavated, even less people can work on it at once. run the numbers, its laughably impossible 2. the tool marks do not match, but unexplainable ones are found 3. the amount of vases and jars and megaliths that have been found, which is just a tiny fraction of what there was or still is buried, aswell as how casually they were discarded is inconsistent with them being precious or difficult to produce, and hints at them being produced very rapidly and them not being very valuable at their construction time. 4. the amount of dedicated sculptors is also inconsistent with time frame and population numbers 5. no object of even remotely this scale or precision has ever been reproduced in modern times, not even with power tools, which is why you can not buy them or find similar work anywhere on the planet 6. the precision far exceeds the best known modern sculptures like Michel Angelos David, even tho a guy like him did nothing but art and sculpting his entire life, and was exceptionally gifted, and just one person, and still couldnt come close even in softer material and a far smaller scale, and still needed years. 7. 99.999% percent of the work could have been removed by using smaller stones and less precision, so its unreasonable to conclude that someone wasted this much economy on work that is such overkill for their supposed purpose, and the economy needed to fund all of this work is also not possible with the size and position of civilization back then 8. the designs of chambers and some megaliths are illogical for their supposed purpose, yet precisely these attributes cause most of the labor to be needed 9. official dating is circular and unscientific 10. if they were just skilled craftsman, then why was the skill lost abruptly and never recovered? There is only so many ways you can chisel onto a rock 11. the most impressive work has no precursor, disappears suddenly according to official dating, and all later attempts at copying them are laughably bad. 12. some of the precision hard stone vases have been found buried with a predynastic burial carbon dated to 14k-12k ago, where there supposedly was no civilization, yet they already had the vases which the dynastics tried but failed to replicate 13. in a closed off area in the Aswan quarry, there is a bird in predynastic style on an area where are huge megalith was extracted, showing that the stone was removed before dynastic times 14. academics are hostile towards pointing out any of this, restrict access to certain sights, straight up destroy or cover up sites on purpose while claiming that access needs to be restricted because of preservation I mean I could go on and on, but all of this is consistent with a prehistoric high tech civilization and a cover up, and inconsistent with anything official. and this behavior and these inconsistencies are not limited to egypt or history, they can be found in a variety of sciences and topics, which all coincidentally touch on the most controversial modern political narratives and talking points. its not hard to take the hint.

goodnight! My name is Bruno, I'm a Brazilian geologist. I watched your videos on KZbin and created a good hypothesis about how ancient civilizations cut stones. They did it in a simple way and similar to what we do today with diamond wire. imagine that instead of saws they just used thin wires. Using the rock's own sand, which has the same hardness, to make the cut, or with bitumen or abrasive clay as reported in Peru, they passed the wire that made the cut. They could or could not use a system of stone discs to rotate the thread and gain a lot of speed. This explains most of the questions in your videos. explains why the Inca stones were so close together. They placed one stone on top of another and passed a thread between them. First they drilled into the rock with drills, then passed the wire through the middle of the hole and then started cutting. This process created these fine cut marks. It also explains how the stones were curved to make columns, or sculptures or curved blocks! explains how the lying obelic was carved. only with wire saws that rotated and cut the rock. I will send you countless photos of how this hypothesis makes sense. Let's change history!

As a stonecarver, I've been working with different types of stone for over 30 yars, mostly in the restoration area. Interestingly, of all the decay of stone, I've only seen the expansion situation on one occasion. About 50 tuffstone (tufa) sculptures had been sent to Germany to be impregnated through and through with acrylic resin. After drying for a few months, they were lowered into a bath of liquid acrylic and a vacuum was applied to remove all the air. Something had gone wrong in this batch and the sculptures started to expand after having been re-installed. Even after dismantling them again they continued to fall apart in their crates. So there is no parallel to the Karnak situation at all, at least I'm not quite sure if the ancient Egyptians already mastered the acrylic dipping process.😂 As for the weathering of granite: I've seen it go quite fast in areas with moisture saturation and repeating freeze-thaw-freeze cycles, and in areas with bush fires, such as Portugal. But red granites are among the toughest ones out there and resist weathering for a long time. It looks like that big block has been used for burning stuff for centuries. As to the cracking matter, I'm stumped to think what caused the expansion damage. Ancient nuclear bombings?

[@sshreddderr9409]

maybe continuously passing electric currents through them. granite is piezoelectric, meaning the quartz crystals in it deform because of the current, creating vibration and emitting infra sound, which some people think was used for health benefits maybe it being composed of various materials degraded it over time with continuous micro deformation. maybe thats why they cared about it being as monolithic as possible and why they scooped off cracks. all the stone they used has quartz in it, and some chosen quarries have a longer distance to the sites than other sources of granite which have less quartz, proving that it was about the quartz content. maybe we should pass high voltage electricity through a piece of granite and see if it degrades in a similar way.
