On those tube drills: what Ben does not say here, only tacitly hints at with his "spirals": the cutting heads used here cut down into these stones in a single pass, not going back over the same depth of cut again after making the first pass but continuing to excise material deeper and deeper...very much like a phonograph needle on a old vinyl record only passing along any particular part of the "grove" once as the record is being played. The vertical spacings between each grove are even, precise, and this shows just how much "force" it takes to continuously spiral-down such a cutting head...which (like Ben said) is beyond what "modern" stone cutting tools are capable of...wow! A scanning microscope examination of some of these cores might give better indications: possible micro-fragments of the cutting head itself; the microscopic impacts of cutting head against material might give evidence of the forces/mechanisms being used (fractures leading to grove ablation, or something "smoother" like a ultrasonic vibrations, etc.) Also it must be noted that the cutting was two sided: both the stone being cut and the core being cut-out have identical spiral groves! Much more can be said of all this, if it only was!

[@balcyvr6]

I'll start with I am not contradicting this, but I have a question. How do we know the cuts never went over the same spot twice? I can create an even spiral pattern in a stone core cut if I take my time with my grinder and it's spinning 12000+rpm. A machine can do that every time if that's how it's programmed. Obviously they had mechanical advantage, but if I put a lot of excess pressure on a stone cut, I remove the cutting ability and involve pressure instead, and the cores will break into pieces. Some of these ancient cores are intact, which leads me to believe we're missing something entirely, and it wasn't pressure dependent.

The only journalist I trust at this point is Steven Greenstreet. You know why? Because in order to get to the bottom of this UFO mystery, you need a journalist who is truly skeptical, someone who DOES NOT just blindly believe claims made by UFO enthusiasts, and begins from a position of extreme doubt and skepticism. Why? Because if a journalist like that ever makes an extraordinary claim about the UFO phenomenon, you'll know it went through a filter of actual research, debunking and skepticism, and that he's not just parroting some rumor he heard from someone who doesn't think that providing evidence is THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR in all of this. You have to ask yourself the following question: What do you care about more, hearing your opinions get validated but never seeing a shred of evidence, or pursuing THE TRUTH -- even if it means that the truth is that none of this NHI stuff is real? Can you handle that? Can you handle the truth? Most people in the UFO community can't. They want to hear people say it's real, even without evidence. They want validation of their opinions and beliefs. It's human nature. The problem though, is that if people like Ross Coulthart, Jeremy Corbell, Luis Elizondo and David Grusch validate your beliefs about aliens -- but never provide evidence because there is no evidence to provide and their beliefs are based on rumors -- you're just wasting decades of your life going down endless rabbit holes that lead to nowhere. You can spend the next 50 years following people like this because they tell you what you want to hear, but you'll never see aliens/NHI at the end of your journey, because they don't exist. Or you can pursue the truth and start demanding the evidence FIRST. Which means that when someone like Grusch, Elizondo or Coulthart make a claim, like knowing "we are not alone, and I say that with 100% confidence", your default reaction should be to NOT trust them UNTIL they provide EXTRAORDINARY evidence for this claim. And no, witness testimony is not extraordinary evidence. In non-extraordinary cases, like a custody hearing or a murder trial, then yeah, witness testimony is good enough. But not when it comes to extraordinary issues like the UFO phenomenon. What most people in the UFO community refuse to accept, to their own detriment, is that anything less than extraordinary evidence (i.e. physical evidence that is tested and confirmed to be authentic and not man made or naturally occurring on planet earth) is WORTHLESS. Witness testimony, even from pilots, is WORTHLESS. Anomalous radar data is interesting but ultimately WORTHLESS because it doesn't PROVE that what you're looking at has a non-prosaic explanation, it just means it anomalous. Mass sightings are WORTHLESS - especially when children are involved (Ariel school incident). Claims about remote viewing abilities are WORTHLESS until they are demonstrated live, in a controlled environment, with consistent 100% accuracy. Demand nothing less from the people who make extraordinary claims, and don't give any second chances to people who make these claims then give excuses about why they can't provide the evidence for them.

[@rufioswitch2132]

@@brianmihlfeith7135 Here you go: 1. Arachaeology relies on actual evidence - eg buildings, pottery, tools, with carbon dating. "we've been around for 500,000 years so there was probably a complex society that has been lost" is not evidence. 2. Gobekli Tepe was uncovered by "mainstream" archaeologists. It's been excavated and shared by "mainstream" for 30 years. All the narrative of Gobekli has been formed by the mainstream, not by alt historians. 3. The definiton of civilization is "any complex society characterized by the development of the state, social stratification, urbanization, and symbolic systems of communication beyond signed or spoken languages (namely, writing systems and graphic arts)". At Gobekli Tepe there is no evidence of state planning, social stratification, urbanization, writing. They didn't even live there full time. It's not a civilization by the way that they are generally classified, and the definiton of civilizaiton was not changed to fit the narrative. Stone Henge was also a megalithic site built by nomadic hunter gatherers thousands of years ago: it's not evidence of a civilzation in Britain at that time. 4. Clovis First "doctrine" was dropped in early 2010s by the mainstread, because of... evidence... uncovered by .. mainstream archaeology. Ben makes it sound like the alt historians forced through this change lol. 5. The human timeline change back to 800,000 years ago was uncovered by... evidence... from the mainstream. The mainstream changes it's opinions all the time. It just needs evidence. If there was one single piece of evidence of a machine or a ship dating back 10,000+ years ago, then the mainstream would change its opinion. Until there is actual evidence, they will not. 6. Because we can't understand how 10,000 people could have moved huge boulders, that doesn't mean they did not. There is video evidence of a 300 ton monolith being moved by 50 humans down a 2500ft hill from the quarry on wooden sleds in the 1930s. 7. It's not the oldest stuff that is the most massive, most difficult etc. Mastaba burial tombs were built for 400 years before the Great Pyramid, which was built in the 3rd dynasty around 2600 BCE. (Eg Mastaba S3503 is 400 years before, in the First Dynasty, around 3000BC). So basically they took 400 years to learn how to build massive pyramids lol. Any attempts at building a bad pyramid before the three Giza pyramids that were not good, would likely either have fallen down naturally or been pulled down and their stone blocks been re-used for later pyramids. In London, the best buildings survive 500-1000+ years. There are no poor quality 1000 year old buildings left in London, because of course they fall down or get replaced over time. This doesn't mean that no low quality buildings were built 1000 years ago in London hahah. 8. Copper tube drills can "cut" into granite - they use a quartz or corundum grinding powder that is the same or higher on the mohs scale than the granite they are grinding into. Again there is video evidence of this being done in current times which Ben has been pointed to thousands of times, but he ignores and deletes comments on his page that point his viewers to those experiments. 9. Flint chisels can cut into granite. Mohs is a measure of grinding strength, not toughness. Again there are videos of modern day sculptors using flint to chisel granite into lovely detailed carvings.

Thank you Ross, for bringing this man on your show, Mr Van Kerkwyki's competency is beyond any egyptologist I know about. And possibly the most highly intelligent one our discipline has hosted since the days of open inquiry in Egypt. You will notice his proficiency at cutting through the dated and sometimes clumsy doctrinal predisposition which many authority sanctioned egyptologists appear to be concerned with 'protecting' until such time as they can catch up scientifically on what Ben and others like him have been providing excellent evidences of, many evidences. Way to go Ben! Because of you, I now know that we are just beginning finally to learn of the very existence of the story of our own ancient heritage. Keep up the fine journalism Ross! I'll be watching for more.

[@rufioswitch2132]

Wow this is extremely sycophantic. Archaeologists are really not concerned with protecting anything. They require actual evidence that’s the thing. Ben requires no actual evidence, just things that “don’t make sense” therefore there must be a 20,000 year old civilisation that had computers and machines and levitation powers but left no evidence 😂 He spends the first 10 minutes talking about human history length, and basically saying ‘because we’ve been around for ages, it makes sense to me we could have had some more advanced civilisation at some time in the past’, which is is relevant because without actual hard evidence appeal to logic is not evidence. Ben has spent 4 years saying tube core drills are impossible to do in granite with “copper chisels” because “copper can’t cut granite”, but Ben knows that it’s the hard abrasive powder that does the grinding not the copper and there have been experiments on KZbin with people using copper tube drills with quartz of corundum powder and perfectly replicating the “impossible” tube drills. So Ben also ignores and hides evidence which counters his fantasies, which of course he claims to hate in “mainstream” archaeologists doing “narrative control”, and yet he does it himself. His channel Deletes any comments that mention these experiments or the channels that do them - extreme narrative control from Ben! Ben relies on setting up a false narrative argument, stoking the culture war that the “mainstream” are holding back advancement when in fact the mainstream are the only ones actually doing the hard, time-consuming and costly digs and uncovering real evidence. Gobekli Tepe was uncovered by the so-called mainstream and has been excavated for 30 years and yet Ben claims they are holding back the evidence despite half a million visitors going there every year 😂 Ben also loves taking credit away from cultures like the dynastic Egyptians, mayans and incans and saying they couldn’t possibly have done X, Y and Z because he can’t imagine how it was done. Well, it was done, all the evidence points to those cultures doing the work, but Ben’s livelihood depends on setting up his fantasies and selling them to gullible sycophants with his culture war of “the mainstream are lying about history!”. Ironically he’s actually damaging the uncovering of history by discrediting real archaeology, since it requires lots of funding and years of work at dig sites to uncover things. He spent care about truth, he cares about Clickbait KZbin views from his false narrative culture wars. Have a nice day!

It's amazing to think about how these remarkable artifacts, like intricately crafted vases and massive statues, showcase the extraordinary skills of ancient Egyptian artisans. It's also important to note that their achievements were deeply tied to a completely different socio-political and economic system compared to today. Back then, a collective mindset, centralized authority, and abundant labor resources made it possible to accomplish these marvels, which would be incredibly costly and challenging in our modern economy.

Love your work Ross, ive been following Ben for years now and a huge fan of his research. Im so glad you have given him another platform. It is important for us as a race to investigate and understand our past.

[@dodomarly]

Wow Ross , as a Egyptian i personally welcome you here all over the country which i couldn’t imagine how magnificent it would be tell I was there by myself (Pyramids of Giza, Luxor temples which was very bizarre one of them called temple of millennium or million years, king’s valley where the chisels marks blown my mind away. I’m kinda obsessed going there very often especially the Great Pyramid since I was a kid which hit me with the most peaceful feeling ever like washing my soul and my mind . Wish you a prosperous trip enjoy every single moment there.❤❤

Thank you Ben for another excellent video.The grinding marks in the holes,as well as the specific positions and orientations of some of the holes suggest the use of advance diamond drilling machines(core drilling).

Part of the issue with peoples understanding of Goblekli Tepe as a Hunter Gatherer sight is that civilisation at this point is somewhere in between Hunter/Gatherer and farming. Domestication of seeds takes thousands of years, and this civilisation seems to be towards the tail end of that process. There is vast evidence of small-holding crop farming for grains, as well as a multitude of evidence of large quantities of wild grain gathering. These were likely stored in the Pots located at the Housing area of Goblekli Tepe. Interestingly, the landscape now is barren and desert-like, but back then it would have been extremely green and tropical. Their diet would have consisted largely of Gazelle and other medium-sized mammals alongside the wild grain collection and small scale farming. We can also see their building technology develop, in that their homes were dug into the ground with the entranceway located at the top. The argument of "these are clearly not Hunter-Gathers" because they have built X, Y and Z is a strawman argument because it assumes Hunter-Gatherers societies lived nomadically, and disregards the changes in culture overtime as resources become more/less available. Hunter-Gatherer isn't just one thing.

[@Art-is-craft]

It is impossible that hunter gathers developed those sites. It is one of the most absurd concepts being pushed at the moment.

[@SpokoR3]

You do realize that hunter-gatherers had the same size and structure of brain as us, right? They weren't stupid.

[@Art-is-craft]

@@SpokoR3 Hunter gathers do not have engineering that those sites were based on. The peoples who built those sites would have been able to apply the knowledge of those sites to farming and land management.

Fascinating and utterly believable explanation for a very advanced civilization responsible for so many incredible artifacts in Egypt, Peru, Turkey, Easter Island, and other areas all over Earth. We do not know our history and shame on the current archeologists who refuse to advance the obvious facts by acknowledging how little we actually know.

HIGHLY SKILLED WHIP MASTERS.... TRUE ARTISTS.... Look at what they achieved with just a few simple tools.. just a whip, a flail, and a mace... Their methods may have been unconventional by today's standards, but the results speak for themselves. Imagine the dedication they must have had and how hard they worked toward the perfection of their form of art... It demanded years of practice, a deep understanding of technique, and a refined sense of how far they could push their subjects before they broke. It’s awe-inspiring to think about the level of dedication they committed to honing their craft.

I want to add… it is absolutely critical to realize that if things are prohibitively expensive… that absolutely also means we can’t do them. They had some way in which it was not prohibitively expensive. If there are any reasons we can’t do them, we can’t do them. When skeptics say “we can do this today but don’t because it’s too expensive” it means “we don’t actually have the ability to do this today”. Also… they often say we can do certain things today that we actually can’t at all. They also say we can do things today that require modern technology. Those are things that in every way imaginable further *proves* it was mysterious and advanced. A lot of this stuff… we CAN NOT do. Even things as seemingly simple as alignments. People cannot align constructions that size to the precision that they did. There’s many examples. And the ones we can do today requires an enormity of modern tech. That doesn’t make it any less mysterious. It makes it more mysterious. Also… we are literally finding out how advanced they were as we become capable ourselves. We had no idea they must have used machines until we had them and could see the machine-like qualities. We don’t even notice how amazing they were until we get there ourselves. That speaks volumes. People skip over this absolutely objective fact. It is still lost or unknown information and whatever the reason we can’t do this APPLIES. If it’s too expensive… we can’t do it. Either they had a way to do it cheaply… or they had way more ability economically than we did. And slavery 100 percent does not make up for it. In fact the more we find out is the less slavery was actually occurring. It was mostly done by paid free skilled workers. Slavery could not explain away the economic obstacles. I absolutely hate that argument. That we “could” do it but can’t because of money. It means we can’t do it. It’s just a dumb way of saying we can’t do it.

[@benconway9010]

Yes mate absolutely well said and you are right!!!!!!👍👍

@@lapislazuli7876 Alabaster is absolutely gorgeous, and very soft. Between 1.5 - 2 on the Mohs Scale. One of the easiest minerals to work with, which is why it became so popular in Dynastic Egypt. Some of those incredibly thin vases are made of granite, diorite and corundum. Around 7-9 on the hardness-scale, with diamond being 10 and the hardest mineral we know of. Mind boggling for sure.

Love to see this! Such a huge fan of both Ross and Ben!

On Gobekli, you don't get that level of stonemasonary without specialisation. And you don't get specialisation without agriculture. Ain't no way Gobekli was made by Hunter Gatherers.

[@bjoernschneider7762]

"Hunter- Gatherer" doesn't mean five guys with a spear hunting a deer Like in the Kalahari or Greenland, but hundreds or thousands of people congregating to build large structures to trap and kill really big herds of migrating prey animals. That abundance allows for specialized professions and social organisation. Animal husbandry probably was the solution after humans decimated or wiped out such prey animals.

I work with granite and we use diamond grit drill bits, saw blades and diamond grit polishing pads, all used at high speed and with water. Without water the saw blades warp and granite blows out deposits due to extreme heat

[@dieodd9866]

That's the main reason why they didn't use saw blades & diamon grit but well documented copper saw + sand .Believing Egyptian didn't build the pyramids is just a racist conspiracy theory.

[@lapislazuli7876]

So what are you saying?

[@REKLESSWOLVES1]

I work with Granite, Quartz and Marble too, as a Kitchen fitter we cut, shape and polish all these materials for worktops and other items. But our tolerances are to within a few millimetres, nothings every perfectly square, flat or even polished as they don`t need to be as the Human eye doesn`t pick up on these discrepancies yet these vases and bowls are accurate to within a 1000th of a millimetre, we are talking micron accurate machining, no matter how many years you polished on a piece of Granite with sand, flint or copper you could never achieve this level of accuracy, and even if you could lets say,,,, how or what would you use to measure that accuracy ? You`d need needle dial gauges, vernier calipers which they didn`t have 4500 - 5000 years ago. My Dad, Uncle and Grandad were Engineers and some of it rubbed off on me so i can understand the science and Metrology of Engineering these vases and what would go into making them, remember we are`nt talking about one or two here, there were over 50.000 found under the pyramid at Saqqara in Egypt, so we are talking a manufacturing industry on a grand scale. The data that`s been generated on these vases by Ben, Chris Dunn and his Son Alex have proved this, it`s now time for us to revaluate our human timeline, history and start to accept that human civilisation is tens if not hundreds of thousands of years older than previously thought.

@@REKLESSWOLVES1 How many masonry cutters do you wear out in a year? Anything that cuts even soft stone would last longer than the stone it cut so where are the thousands of tons of worn out tooling? And yet we waste trillions on space and ocean research with little further benefit.

[@jasonv.9015]

@REKLESSWOLVES1 exactly, what they were doing back then was impossible to do with primitive tools. But looking at the pyramids we already knew they had advanced technology, but cutting any stone thin and flat and uniform, or those giant statues made so perfect is simply impossible without advanced tech that we don't know anything about. That area must be from way before 13,000 yrs agony, before advanced people were wiped out and probably buried under 40ft of earth
