Unfinished Obelisk Documentary

[@mykobe981]

"Push it!" Lol.. 1200 tons out of a hole.. With barely enough room to climb down in.. Pretty cool mystery. One we may never know the answer to. Thanks for the vid!

[@julies8250]

Wonderful video Igor! Your guide makes the visit!

[@IgorTravelsTheWorld]

Thanks for watching!

[@fenorcity]

the guy with the glass's was talking nothing but nonsense for tourists - he contradicted himself in so many ways - cracks ??.......... how did they lift the 1100 ton block of granite = no answers

[@h4ndrei00]

Allright,now i get it! That's why there's no forest and so much sand over there...goddamn ancient egyptians must have been cutting down all the trees so they can play TETRIS .Thank you archeology,you make so much sense!

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

I love the part where you're trying to work out how the ancient Egyptian workers would have created a channel to float the obelisk out.

Amazon: Next Day Delivery , Guaranteed by 1pm. Nile: Next flood season brother.

[@ZeroFortyFive]

Those scoop marks look like something you could do to ice-cream, it was easy for them, whatever they did, they sure didn't bang rock against rock...

[@sozzyhunter]

I wonder what type of ancient wooden vessel could transport obelisk with thousands of tonns weight if even nowadays its a pretty hard task for huge transportation ships...

[@lancehobbs8012]

Ramesseum, approx 1000T , transported by ship . The Colossi of Memnon weighed 700T EACH and they transported them across land approx 7 HUNDRED KILOMETERS.

[@phlix1]

Transportation was not as hard as it always sounds. Search for Wally Wallington.

[@RagnarCzerwony]

@@lancehobbs8012 that is only a theory, no proof for that.

[@rajastylez]

I enjoyed the guy explaining the process. It makes sense. I guess lol.

[@3az3oz]

how come no one talks about the two straight cuts across it and how they could've been made!?

[@SarahC2]

DeBeers made diamond RARE, it's quite common on earth. On beaches in places. How hard would it have been to make diamond grit hole boring sticks, and copper tools with diamond grit on the surface? I think diamond grit tools were made for working granite 4000 years ago. It would explain LOTS! The "Scoop marks" could be from a rotating cylinder coated in diamond grit grinding away granite in strips. Calling it now!

[@chemitch8474]

Could have used acid in conjunction with the technology you suggest

[@Davebsuk]

You missed the part where he described making the corners with wood? What did he say they did?

[@michibichi2212]

Tnks for uploaf. Very interesting. The guide seems pretty cool as well

[@earlreid6811]

Those uniform scoop marks were made by some sort of machine. You wouldn't have that type of mark with manual pounding.

[@T-bit]

This was left on purpose as a kind of time capsule to show off their extreme progress which not even the ancient Egyptians could match!

[@devonhc7770]

They must have used Anunaki tech to sculpt it then traded minerals and other rare items to use the tools and kept a mutual system to benifits eachother but they eventually left prolly bc the wars the emperor's were starting slave trading and full on genocides...

[@emanacio]

A gránit szintetikus. 30-32cm széles fejű kapával ásták ki az obeliszket, amikor a gránit még puha volt.

[@stephenspreckley8219]

Pounding those scooped out channels with granite rocks of the same hardness, then moving these massive blocks with ropes (made of..... Dyneema?) That's just too funny for words, it's beyond belief. No way and it's absurd to believe it was done that way!

[@random22026]

The story of the diorite pounders, requires pounding back a few cold ones to let it ALL sink in...😁😁 7:57 to 8:47 10:52 to end 😅😅

[@plasticflashlight3039]

Igor after 3 years I've finally saved up enough money to travel to the Giza plateau, I live in the states. Do you have recommendations as to how I can reach Egypt without breaking my bank

[@IgorTravelsTheWorld]

Hey Matt. Congrats my friend. First I would search for flights from alternative sites not just for example kayak. Azair.cz (click English button at the top) Also search flights from US to Turkey to Cairo Next book a hostel. I have a friend in Cairo who can take care of you. He owns a hostel in Cairo about hours drive from Giza or just spend a little more and stay right next to Giza. People love the hotels nearby. ****contact the hotels directly and ask for price and negotiate Plan the sites you want to visit and then we can find you a local driver to drive you everywhere. No finding random drivers and taxis, more like a dedicated driver. You Can emails me for more info if you want. It’s under my about section

[@MrFreezook]

I think this happened because the Engineer was not at the center of his heart. So all his Workers as well were not. Because usually Mistakes are minimal in Ancient Egypt and they all have very important meaning >> Even in the left over Crumbles. This is at the Time when the Moon was melted Cheese , and humans were primitive. Controlled by their dreams > All Trying to meet the same engineer but not quite making it.

[@predacorneliu]

Only if Superman, Badman and Spiderman work here.

[@ud2hb4]

7:15 the absolute state

[@lancehobbs8012]

I have today written to several associations with my hypothesis , and over the coming weeks i believe i will reproduce the scallop marks. They did not use fist sized balls of dolorite held by hand and directly strike the granite. They used a form of percussion drilling , with wet sand to dissipate the force and prevent cracking of the granite, and grind away the rock. A dolorite sphere of 300mm diameter weighs almost exactly 40 kg. With a rope harness leaving the bottom exposed , and equal length ropes at each side of the sphere , at 30 degree angle 40kg of force is required each side to lift the sphere (this increases dramatically if lifting the sphere more than about 30cm, which they didnt) with 3 or 4 men each side leaning away from the sphere using bodyweight and a bit of muscle they could readily work the sphere up and down bang bang bang for say 1 hour, then swap out with another crew , doing lighter duties of wetting the sand and removing the spoil. Thats using 12 men per scallop , going at a cracking pace .120 men ( not much for ancient egypt) could be working on 10 of these scallops simultaneously . Im still doing drawings n calcs to see how they did it horizontally, but straight downwards , i think I've got it and will prove it by replicating .

[@tpxchallenger]

How's this coming along? You'll have to prove it, but it's an interesting idea.

[@jirace]

Go there. The guides will explain how they did it. No point in asserting we don’t know when we do.

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

You are full of as much bullshit as this guide 🤣😂.

[@tmastersat]

That was not cut with stone tools why is it curved wave lines . Looks like it was drilled out

[@lancehobbs8012]

They had drills, bronze drills capable of neat cylindrical core drilling that does not look anything like these scallop marks. They used wet sand and copper to drill the holes and stonemasons can replicate that today. I believe the scallops are done with a form of percussion drilling, please see my post above

[@ichabodon]

Unless any plans are found (which I very much doubt) we will never know how ancient Egyptians made all there monuments.

[@weeverob]

the tour guide is full of it. You just don't lift a 1200 ton piece of rock and push it over to a boat. what kind of boat could haul a 2,400,000 pound piece of cut rock on the Nile??

[@keitholdbean3173]

They could have circular cutting tools ? made from diamond impregnated wheels.

[@IgorTravelsTheWorld]

+keith old bean yes that's possible, but look at the technology that traditional archaeologist say they had, stone tools, wood rollers. So if you did have diamond circular cutting saws and such, then you have to upgrade the rest of their technology as well. When you take a deeper look technology regresses in the later stages of Egyptian society

[@jepolch]

I agree with you. It's hard to believe they were able to quarry so much granite using simple tools. But they had a huge force of slaves working at the risk of their lives. Anything is possible.

[@chrisduhaime5689]

some type of machine cutting it was not hard for them to do

[@cyrushoratioorginal]

nice

[@bennyblanco4008]

Well hell, this dude has got it all figured out. They cut down hundreds of thousands of trees and just rolled it right along! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MultiBikerboy1]

It's perfectly obvious to me that the locals don't know jack about how all this was done. If in doubt make it up....been working well for years. However with 'you tube' we can all visit these locations and smell the BS for ourselves.

[@diz096]

Lots of evidence on that site of bricks laid underneath and set on fire on the bottom. Same can be done on top with wooden beams making your area you want to cut and than set on fire makes it way more workable.

[@scottt6407]

That guide must have been high saying "u just cut it out and roll it".1200 tons just roll it,WTF.Its obvious those pounders didn't make those grooves 2 shape the obelisk.

[@IgorTravelsTheWorld]

+Scott Thallon thanks for the comment. I think there's one important thing you're overlooking. These people, guides or not, grow up learning about these things, in a system that teaches them that there's nothing to see, move along and don't ask questions. I don't think they're trying to lie to you intentionally, or me. Also off-camera admitted that there were a lot of mysteries, but on camera they can't go around and admit these things. If you want to point the finger at someone or creating a lot of the drama, blame it on ancient aliens theorists and the TV show. Thanks for your support.

[@ddstar]

and he said it wouldn't crack. Yet when they were working on it.. it developed a crack. That wasn't even rolling the damn thing.

[@tpxchallenger]

Is it obvious the pounders didn't make the grooves? The scoop marks are very much.more similar to the marks left by stone grinding stone in natural actions like potholes. They don't look like machine tool marks. The masons began dressing the obelisk itself while it was still being cut out of the bedrock.

[@WavesWatcher1]

Good luck putting that rock on a ship and sailing up a river, let alone in ancient times.

[@4SCARECROWS]

They say they used diorite hammer stones and wood watered down to swell a wedge between sections. Well I think the ancient Egyptians were a lot smarter than that. If they were not then why on Earth even waste their time to raise an obelisk that size? So it's clear they had knowledge, and the machinery to help them. Not just rock hammers, wood and rope. Personally I don't believe ancient aliens helped them with higher technology. I do believe we limit the credibility that the Egyptians could pull off the engineering feats. Their society had been around long enough to get good at what they do when it comes to stone carving and raising. You see most academia is too narrow minded to believe. They are stuck in the "older is more primitive and less developed" dogma. They try to teach us and indoctrinate everyone with that BS. Ancient people aren't stupid and backward.

[@legpol]

I have a different idea. I believe the obelisk was built with cement concrete as its crust, and pebbles as its crumb. It is a hollow box gradually built with poured concrete. It was not a cut solid stone. If it was a solid stone, why it is breaking into 3 sections as shown by the 2 cracks on its waist? (There is also a vertical crack) All the scoop marks, in my view, meant that workmen were scooping concrete to feed the building process.

[@tooterturtle7849]

Yeah right! no way the dynastic Egyptians did not do this. They did it with magic carpets

[@BillSikes.]

OK so the cut them with lumps of rock and other crude bronze age tools, but how the hell did they move them, and then erect them... It's a complete mind fuck, I suppose we'll just have to accept we'll never know

[@sanciopancioahoy]

Oh God....

[@chemitch8474]

Wheel technology and a type of acid to corrode..

[@al2207]

your guide must have a work stage in actual granite quarry and reconsidered all standard egyptologist dates and thinking , granite bashing is a joke , swelling wood do not work , first how to drill hole with tools they did not had ???

[@williamwillis5851]

If that was sandstone, maybe that would work. Its not. Hammering with a stone on the big stone would barelly make a dent and your arm and wrist would be trashed before you managed any real progress. I just don't buy it.

[@tpxchallenger]

The only way we will ever prove it one way or another is to pay people to do it. $10,000 US per month per person. Double bonus for finishing in 2 years, something like that ought to do it. Experienced masons, only dolerite, arsenical bronze, rope, and wood allowed, Old Kingdom style. No anachronisms.

[@mathewbrown9890]

the guide himself is misguided... lol the irony

[@SabbaticusRex]

Ya, you know better right! I mean the guide went to university.. PSH, _what everrr_; you went to public school in MURICA and watch alot of KZbin !! I mean, no contest ! You win ! Right ..?

[@argonengineering9378]

nah, to many holes in this story. Sounds like to me just making its up as you go because no one has any idea. There are scrolls hidden from us all, they know they just wont let us see the truth just like everything else. They wouldn't have wasted all that work, they could have just reduced the size or turned it into blocks.

[@Lucas3330]

Natron theory

[@p111nad]

How he says they made a quarry and flipped it on a boat and transported the obelisk, hahahaha. PROVE IT. No one has and no one will. Those side channels on each sides are impossible for a human to channel out manually without powerful tools.The technology and some of the structures are far far old then the ancient Egyptians. its taken us over 10,000 years according to historians to get to we we are today. Imagine the Pre dynastic Egyptians that could build great perfect calculated structures, they must of gone back thousands and thousands of years before they got to a stage where they mastered building structures and Knowing about astronomy.

[@tpxchallenger]

Prove that. You can't prove power tools were used because we have no evidence of power tools. You can say the scoop marks are evidence of lasers, or sonic cutters, or stone melting, or high speed diamond drilling all you want but it's fantasy. The scoop marks are much more similar to the marks made by rock grinding at rock in a natural pothole than they are to anything else.

[@ALT3REDB3AST]

Let's forget the obelisk itself for a moment. This is a quarry. You can clearly see the walls going up some 20-30 meters. How did they dig down to the level where the obelisk is?? Pounding stones as well? Now add to that as others have mentioned, there are very clear uniform "scoops" all along the sides and bottom of the pit around the obelisk. Definitely not pounded out with stones. Some sort of high heat or sonic device. Again, look at the uniformity of the scoops. That's machine like precision. And how you would lift and move such a huge object is beyond me. Your guides answers sound like a 2020 Trump press briefing.

[@devonhc7770]

Laser precision and extreme power cuts across huge stones then no man from earth could move .

[@leghunter9201]

maybe he can pound out an iPhone 11 too...

[@stephenspreckley8219]

Haaaa ha ha ha!

[@InvalidMemberAccount]

I think it would make sense, if a very lLARGE stone was to be lifted and dropped. Lifted via levers & ropes. Mabe even guided by wood rails. I would make holes in steps as the grooves in the walls. I do not believe the swelling wood idea for one minute.

[@IgorTravelsTheWorld]

Hi. At what point are you referring to in order for a large stone to drop? In the opened working section between the "retaining" wall and the obelisk itself, there is no room to swing with force. You also cannot drop a large stone and get straight-ish lines. About lifting: the obelisk is 1200 tons depending on whom you speak to +-, it would be very hard to lift and place on a boat.

[@ddstar]

Then how do you scoop underneath the obelisk like shown in the video?

[@israymervalentin-arias6313]

No offense but I don’t believe that’s how they did it. After listening to Randall Carlson there’s a lot I don’t believe anymore.

[@neverforget7545]

I wanna see wet wood cracking Granite

[@predacorneliu]

Never on this planet!

[@lancehobbs8012]

Pretey standard masonry technique actually if you look it up

[@SabbaticusRex]

Guide is super knowledgable, obviously went to university .. But _you_ know better because you went to pubic school in Murica and watch alot of KZbin videos and Ancient Aliens specials on the "history" channel.. Right?

[@tpxchallenger]

😅 now come on, they could have read Hancock or Dunn, or even Von Daniken.

[@METATRONS_CUBE]

This guy actually believes what he is talking? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@super_morto]

I don't believe most of it.

[@Matt.Schofield]

You both made a mark with the pounder in just a few seconds and with a few strikes. Scale that up to months and years and it's not hard to see this could be done this way. You can empty a lake with a thimble if you just go at it. The disbelief speaks more of modern culture. Unable to comprehend that people actually used to work, and things take time. The way you pointed back at the obelisk after using the pounder... like so little progress for so little effort was evidence of something? Pfffft. The real marvel of Egypt is the spirit, dedication, coordination and hard working nature of the people. Qualities lost.

[@tpxchallenger]

Agree. River potholes prove quite conclusively that stone wears away stone, just how long does it take being the question. All of ancient Egypt's some works capture some dedication and hard work we no longer seem capable of even comprehending. I look at the unfinished obelisk and wonder how many people worked on it, for how long, and did they get paid even though it failed?

[@vicioustonez]

sounds like that guide has all the answers lol ...nothing to see here

[@IgorTravelsTheWorld]

+vicioustonez in some respects yes, but he was very nice. We had a great tour of Philae after. However, as I wrote before, he did admit to me the didn't believe the entire traditional story.

[@Melldesofia]

Pushing more than 1100 tons without any machine??? The young guy should get a real job on a construction site instead talking english...

[@cyphermote6857]

2nd try but I still can't watch this one due to the rambling nonsense from the guide ... could you not have asked him to shut up?

[@IgorTravelsTheWorld]

+CYPHER MOTE the man is trying to make money to support himself. He admitted off camera they are not really allowed to provide alternative ideas. He's doing his job is all. Set to silent and play some music :)

[@SabbaticusRex]

That 'rambling nonsense' was actual historical knowledge, and he was very polite.. Let me guess - you believe aliens did it? Because you cannot possible believe that anyone past or present could be more intelligent than you are ? They had very simple and very complex methods but most importantly _they worked insanely hard and with no distractions_ .. They werent like us. They served more than just their own egos. Americans need to cut it out with all this fake news and fake history. Real life isn't a fucking fairytale.

[@BillSikes.]

Shut up you prick, life's hard over there, he's just trying to make an honest living

[@cletisevans369]

Cleopatra could travel to my time and bring stuff back when these solar gateways made alignments. So she had me build one, by myself, long enough to reach 1980 but it broke under its own weight so, I LEFT IT THERE!!! MAYBE IF WE COULD OF HAD MADE STEEL BACK THEN IT WOULDA WORKED, BUT NOOOOOO!!! NO ONE ASKED ME ABOUT STEEL!!! OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN VOLCANIC GLASS OR HEAVY ASS CRAP ROCKS!!!! I WOULDA MADE IT OUTTA PLASTIC!!! ALUMINUM FOIL!!!! PAPER FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!! I told her, it's just too heavy, it's NOT GOING TO WORK!!!! maybe that's why I HAD TO CARVE IT!!!! Oops 😬 BROKEN IN TIME.....back to shoveling sand dunes...and pimpin. The only way this was made was by possession of dead body's that were self mummified in the dessert and traveling time on FAST-FORWARD so instead of ping ..ping ..ping ..with the round stone 🪨 it was bouncebouncebouncex1000 like a rubber racket hand ball.
