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 :)
@Ben 'Thanks for watching!' -BIG THANKS for always providing great content. I am already putting what i can more or less easily afford into the patreon of friends in simracing. But the least i can do is sharing every single video with (the 500 of) them and other friends. @everyone Sharing the videos and thumbs up&comments for the algorythm is in my opinion the least everyone of us could and should do for Ben! It does cost us nothing except a few seconds of our time.
The vases are the key Ben science must be fought on detail by analysing enough vases and inspiring scientists to publish papers. I feel like you've found the smoking gun...
@Unchartedx how do I get in contact with you via phone would like to show you some pretty incredible and probably never before seen or explored ruins, treasures possibly, statues etc. That I myself have found in Egypt through investigation over the passed year and a half! Saw some of your videos and interviews and that’s what got me into this whole scene which is amazing btw. But would really like to show you the incredible finds as well as probably never explored ares where there is most definitely ruins and hidden treasures never before seen by anyone In the archeological world. Let me know im sure you would love this and would definitely be somthing worth talking about/investigating
I have worked with granite for over 20 years and the the cores are absolutely insane and here is why . With our modern diamond tiped coring bits since they are spinning they leave a spiral in the hole. The core drills we have today spin very fast but don't cut through granite very fast so the slower you cut the more turns the spiral will have. You see the opposite in Egypt they show a tool that rotated slowly but cut through the granite fast. Modern tools rotate around 10 to 15 thousand rpm and that's about the time it takes to cut through an inch of pink granite the holes in Egypt show a tool moving around 30 to 40 rpm to cut through an inch. With our current technology that is absolutely 100% impossible . And I'm not the average keyboard expert that usually makes a comment . I really have been working with grey pink and green granite for over 20 years 23 to be exact and if we tried to match their work it would take so much pressure to make that cut that either the tool would fail or the granite would fracture we can't do what they did and that is fact not opinion I thought ancient high technology was completely bullshit until I saw those holes and the cores that came out of them .
please have a trip to Egypt M, Thomas , what we see in very real , agree feed rate of 1 mm per turn is so fantastic , we cannot do that today but the aliens had hundred thousand years technological advance on us , they were using anti-gravity device
I am thinking that instead of a rotor blade they might of use some sort of a laser or ultrasound, again rotating. If they were using mechanical blabe, somehow they would have to fixate the rest of the drill to the surface of the object they are drilling, atleast I would assume. But no signs of fixing any machine to the stone is visible...
@@al2207these objects are precise but not interstellar alien precise, there is error in the thousands of an inch range, which is precise but not impossible for humans to fabricate with tools and certainly not the level of precision youd associate with the ability to travel across interstellar space
Geopolymer. While it is settling it is soft. Any drill can be easily pushed through it. Rotation is applied just to improve precision and prevent sticking to material.
Having watched all these channels all these years, I am convinced of an advanced human civilization deep into at least the 100’s of thousands of years into antiquity.
@@starcapture3040 not modern/ what they call ancient egypt. there is evidence of them hiding tunnels because they cant be bothered showing tourists and want a quick buck. the people of that land today are a stain on the former glory of the people who actually built these places.
@@starcapture3040 ah you're one of those. Advanced, spiritually awakened buttflat wearers. they knew the sciences, they just didn't use them, they would rather bash on granite with other rocks, got it.
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.
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.
Though not surprising in this day and age, it’s amazing to me that Ben has naysayers and haters. Ben is truly one of the few who doesn’t insert his opinions or aspirations into the subjects he studies and presents to us. Just about every single thing I’ve heard from Ben is rooted with logic and observable science. The smooth delivery and extremely well put together videos makes these topics completely followable and understandable to nearly anybody. The world needs more people like Ben.
Ben has haters because he's misleading people doing what he claims the academics are doing - trying to hide the truth. Think about it, he never wants discussion with people who have different points of view and instead is just sarcastic and rude in response to these people. You can see it in the youtube comments. He's also very selective about who he talks to and what evidence he shows in his videos. Being selective with evidence to tell the story you want isn't a scientific approach.
@@kiasia3219 When someone has a grand theory, such as the mainstream narrative of Egyptian history, it is perfectly reasonable to find all the data and evidence which refutes the theory and say "here is why that doesn't make sense." In any case, can you point me toward info which you think he should be presenting or that would shed a different light on the common themes of UnchartedX, such as precision craftsmanship on difficult materials?
@@FluorinatedMonomer I tried replying to this comment twice, but my replies didn't show up. Maybe because I mentioned other youtube channels and videos. But I recommend searching for a video called 'Historian reacts to evidence of ancient high technology in Egypt'. It shows a different side of the argument, you might find it interesting.
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.
"Vociferously slandered". Well said. If Ben is such an "amateur" what do they - other so called "professional archaeologists" have to be afraid of? I don't know, maybe alot of what they been shoveling is bullshit? Take Christopher Columbus. I was taught what a "great guy" he was. and he was first who "discovered the new world - America". Never mind the fact Vikings actually "found" and settled in Canada 700 years before Columbus. Or the fact Columbus wasn't such a "great" guy after all. Enslaving or killing approximately 10,000 indigenous Carribean people, or that he was found guilty of treason against the King of Spain causing Columbus to be imprisoned where he died. That kinda stuff? lol. Great comment, and expertly written. Take care. (yeah, I'm questioning pretty much "everything" I was ever taught about History from my public and even college education. If "you don't know" that's okay, just admit it, right?)
Dude I cant tell you how excited I was when I saw this video just now on my subscription feed. I really appreciate you sharing this stuff and doing what you do. It is an absolute dream of mine to go on an egypt trip with you guys and I have been putting koney away so I can do it one day. You have had my respect for years brother. Thank you
I want to know so bad what he's a loud to tell you to keep his channel sufficient. There is so much more to the pyramids and the Egyptian civilization. They knew how to control the gods or diety, planets to manipulate the weather using the Astral, Astro or Physics. Everything you know is a lie and my man makes to much. But I don't make a dime and I am against a team of free masons who sexualize children. I simply will not join them.
I don’t care what people say. Your work is exemplary. I haven’t made up my mind about the differences between mainstream archaeology, and guys like you, but I lean towards what we clearly see from your perspective. Thanks for videos like these.
@@greghelms4458 if you have been a “huge history buff” your whole life then you should be embarrassed to be taking this novice seriously. He is impressed and puzzled by tube drills and is perplexed at how ancients cut granite. He uses terms like the mohs scale when talking about cutting large blocks as if the only thing that can cut something else is a material harder on the mohs scale. I think you might be an alternative history buff. Are you a fan of Graham Hancock by any chance?
@@AIenSmithee here’s the deal. I like hearing and seeing all kinds of opinions. I don’t buy in whole hearted to any of these guys. But I do like the questioning of the absolutes of mainstream ideas and timelines.
goodnight! My name is Bruno, I'm a Brazilian geologist. I watched your videos on CZcams 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!
How would you do a coredrill with this method? Sounds like you are a good geologist who likely has never held a screwdriver in his hand...😉 Peace brother. Every brain engaged is a win.
Back in the 1970s there was a report about a sparkplug found in a geode in Calif. Also, I recently saw a picture of something like a capacitor in an ancient rock and a hammer in a rock from Texas. These are all items that indicate an ancient high-tech civilization and visiting ETs in the distant past. Much MORE needs to be done in studying these things to determine their age and even their source of origin.
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.
@@joelstanley3894!!!! Perhaps they had power grids that led to the accelerated decay of their structures, leaving only the decorative sculpture behind!
@@joelstanley3894 I wasn't thinking heating but some other treatment like adding chemicals or mineral solution to the surface as a treatment for smoothing, shaping or hardening. But why that would make the core crumble I cannot fathom, other than pressure. What if they did electrolysis on these rocks to do this mineral application, and minerals were sucked from the inside to the outside? All theory and no practical I know, but it makes me wonder what is capable with rock. We just don't know until we experiment!
@@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.
One day Ben, they just won't be able to ignore your work. You will be remembered as one of the greatest practical scientists of the 21st century. I salute you, sir
Too right bro, Ben has come so far. I remember when his videos were him talking about photos. Now he’s talking at conferences with the greats of the movement.
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.
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.
@@mnomadvfx I think you are confusing stone with metal, sir. and feel free to provide any evidence for your crazy assumptions of pre-ice age weather in nile basin.
The polish on those “hats” near the end is unreal- they looked like someone freshly waxed them yesterday with electric buffers- to think that layer of shine has persisted for thousands of years through the sun beating down on it, weather, dust storms, sand and rock pelting it…and that modern man can’t make a polish that shines 20 years in a glass case- is absolutely mind boggling! 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!
An electric flow could have caused the insides of the stone to deteriorate. Though most don't realize it, stone can conduct electricity and interact with heat or plasma phenomenon a lot more than one might think.
Ben is a force of nature. A man riding the wave of an idea whose time has come. Great choice in music too. Easily one of my favorite channels. Alway happy to see a new episode drop.
The piece in the museum with 4 adjacent massive tubular drill holes blows my mind. 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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
Been waiting for this one for a long time. Went to Egypt when I was 16 and way before I read fingerprints of the gods for the first time and visited these two temples. You brought back the awe I felt when visiting for the sound and light show ^^ I just wish I knew then what I know now!
Yes! Is it possible that the ancients somehow applied something to the outside surface, perhaps during the working process that strengthened the outside? Some type of polishing compound? Super interesting stuff
One of the best presented, articulate and in depth researchers and presenters on CZcams. Ben deserves any success he may and will get in the future. One of the few torch carriers in a dark and unseeing world. There's so much wrong with our historical records. A great man 💙💪
Great quality video. It especially resonates with me today, since I just finished Wilbur Smith's book "River Gods" which is set in the Middle Kingdom. Great read for all you Egypt fans.
So excited that you uploaded another video! I love this channel more than pretty much any other. Your a national treasure in my eye. Their will be a time when history reveals you were right all along!
35:38 The transformed pillars actually remind me of something: Welding electrodes, and more specifically, if your welder doesn't quite have enough juice for the rod, it'll stick to your work piece, eventually heating up and melting from the inside, instead of sparking + melting at the tip. So, perhaps electricity could cause that effect, but from where, and how did it affect so many stones?
@@AustinKoleCarlisle if the pyramids were pumping energy up into the stratosphere and the obelisks were oscillators that channeled the energy down to where it was needed and used , like a flowing circuit , and then a series of comets comes flying through the atmosphere perhaps that would have caused a massive spike in the energy levels and 'blown' up the entire global circuit
Such a great show and thank you, Around six millennia ago, there were 37 species of large-bodied mammals in Egypt, but only eight species remain today. 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. Thanks again.
Phenomenal content! I am waiting on the edge of my seat for more data and research from you and your colleagues. Thank you for continuing to make these presentations for the masses.
Ben, I believe the crumbling granite is a result of extreme heat. The outer surface now is under extreme pressure from within. We know there was a catastrophic event, hence the melted granite. I believe all life was wiped out.
@@AustinKoleCarlisle I believe there was a catastrophic event. The Younger Dryas makes sense. I have hard of this before but never looked into it. I'm no scientist, archeologist, or geologist but just a guy with an inquisitive mind. With the similarities in carving methods around the world at many of these sites, I believe there was a human race which communicated around the globe and become extinct very quickly. How else can the similarities be explained. Once humans started reappearing, the level of craftmanship or technical knowhow at most of these sites was not near what it was originally. So many unanswered questions.
@@j.o.a.t9718 also look up the Yuga Cycles, part of a Great 24,000-year Cycle. according to an article on Graham Hancock's website, we are currently in Kali Yuga which is expected to end in 2025. this period is considered the spiritual low point for humanity, and it's no surprise when you look at the events of the past 3-4 years. luckily we will start to ascend from that point forward, but usually these cycles are interrupted by natural disasters and cataclysms. coincidentally, the Younger Dryas Cataclysm (12.9 kya) perfectly lines up with this Great Cycle. it's very possibly that these mysterious artifacts and megaliths were created at the height of human spirituality and virtue before we were reset, using consciousness as the technology and not really a "machine" per se.
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...
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.
It's mind boggling and fascinating at the same time. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to all your videos. One day i hope to visit Egypt and see it all for myself. Your videos will definitely influence where i go and what i look at.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Standing ovation from me!!!These places fascinate us because of their many strange mysteries, but I don’t think we have a clue of just how magnificent this place once was!! In my opinion everything we have been told about such places needs to be chucked out the window and we need start all over!! Your amazing work on the beautiful stone vases is a shining example of what we can discover if we only dare to question the nonsense we have been told!!! While my studies have led to think our past is even more strange and magical than what your work delves into, I do think however that your work on these sites and the insane examples of anomalies which can be found there in, is of the utmost importance in changing the written accounts of our past story for future generations!!! If we don’t really understand where we came from how in the world can we ever figure out where we are going or what we are doing!! Thank you for all the amazing work you do and Bravo for this amazing documentary!!!🙏❤️ Cheers P.S. In regards to the crumbling granite, if it is not a geopoloymer, maybe there was some kind of plasma event which caused this crazy damage. If it wasn’t an acidic burial for long periods in salt or fresh water, then maybe it was the combination of the burial in water and the plasm?????? 🤔
I am granite and marble mason and have experience of programming and operating a CNC machine, again working with granite and marble. I was very interested in the spiral marks left in the tube holes and would like to say that if you look at modern day machining marks left in granite core holes you will see these marks both left on the inside of the hole and on the hole plug which comes out once the core hole is completed. These are diamond marks left from the tool used to core out the hole… the closer the marks the slower the feed rate of the core drill used. You should approach a modern masonry work shop for better machining tool mark comparisons. An answer for starting a core drill and stopping it wondering is to use a thin piece of wood which you would drill first with the core drill . Then place this wood on your stone and stand on it , the core drill bit then sits in the hole in the wood which stops it from drifting while the drill seats into the stone . Once it starts forming the hole the wood can then be discarded. Hope this helps very interesting stuff
This architecture fascinated me since I was a small child. I love that there's a channel dedicated to examining it all in greater detail. Thank you, Ben.
I say this with sincerity in the hope you don't get too far into this. this guy seems really switched on and his channel is really well made. However, the content is not accurate. There are many other channels that have better content that is not misleading and biased like this one. he is a guy that started off watching CZcams videos and took them at face value. If you would like some better options I can let you know but it will be removed as soon as he sees any link to them so you will have to be quick. Pretty bad that he censors the comments section but ohh well.
AlenSmithee it seems like you know Ben personally to have such information about him watching CZcams videos. Also CZcams doesn’t allow links to be shared in the comments section so your censoring theory has fell flat on its face pal
Aaah yes!! Here we go! Thanks Ben! Favorite channel on the tube and every time there’s a new episode my heart makes a little jump off joy! Thanks to you Jimmy and Graham I feel like there is still something to discover and explore other than outer space. So much knowledge in this videos. Love it!!
Wouldn't listen to much of what Jimmy says. He is very enthusiastic but yeah... Graham is also a bit burned but a good entry point into the matter nonetheless. Ben and Randall are on a whole another level. Those are the ones to follow.
Thanks so much for the content Ben. Sound engineer/ recording studio here at your disposal……. I think I speak for most when I say we appreciate your reluctance to take the “dirty dollar” from the sponsors, however no one is more worthy of the financial boost that yourself. We would totally forgive the odd raid/nord/whatever sponsors are willing to pay. You’ve more than earned it! All the best with the future content and thanks again for the content 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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.
The detailed realistic finish of the giant granite statues calves and feet look as if they would be warm flesh to the touch, 😳 just astonishing sculpture. They certainly make the sandstone pillars beside them look crude.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Adhan, call for fajr prayer (prayer before dawn) is one of the most beautiful sounds one can hear on this earth. Thx for including it in this awsome vid.
The granite looking solid on outside few inches and crumbling on the inside reminds me of an electrical plasma experiment done using a tungsten rod, same thing happened where the inside became brittle. (Safire Project)
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.
agree , i think the obelisks and other structures were transmitting energy from the pyramids but were damaged when the earth magnetic was crushed during interstellar war resulting of massive back EMP due to rapid collapse of magnetic field inducing large current plasma into all structures under energy
@@al2207 ye i think we were visited by andromeda galaxy and the aliens used to take a shit near the stones which infested it and made it crumble and break. That made them unusable for their real purpose which was to connect to the universe internet (very useful for alien porn)
The most interesting statement in the whole video is that there is additional scanning and analysis of other pre-dynastic vases underway and that similar precision is being observed as was seen on the first vase. If true, that is the lynchpin to a new story of man. The level of design and manufacturing perfection in the first vase is so high that it would be challenging to produce even today, and the math that is encoded in the design wasn't know to our civilization until thousands of years after the vase was supposedly made.
well, to be fair, sacred geometry has always been purposely hidden to keep mankind in the figurative dark. we are *just* now rediscovering what we knew 10,000+ years ago.
Thank you Ben!! I so appreciate your passion and fortitude in the face of so many detractors. So many of whom have never seen these structures with their own eyes. I doubt that I’ll get the opportunity to witness these amazing things myself. Thank you again for letting me observe all of these marvels through your eyes.
I amazed by imaging what we do not know or understand . Ad an engineer , machinist and scientific thinker I just can’t fully conceptualize how they had the time , organization , tools and patience to manage this !!!
It was a different mindset back then. 'I am lion. Here me roar'. It was about leaving your mark on the land. Claiming your territory. Each succeeding generation trying to outdo the previous generation. One could theorize that the tools of importance were destroyed to prevent the next generation from surpassing them.
Great presentation Ben! You were able to cover a lot of information here, and present your findings in a professional and critical way. The amazing tool work and precision, is well documented here. It makes you wonder, how fast, and efficient these builders were? What was a day at the construction site like, when these blocks were set in place? The grano-diorite block failures, from the inside-out, is truly fascinating as well. There may be other places, this phenomena occurs, but I know of only one. The dolmans and wall, at Sage Mountain Montana, has some large granite stones, that appear to be falling apart, from the inside out.
Thanks as always Ben for another thorough investigation eloquent as expected. On a side note I also want to thank you for introducing me to the band Fifty Dollar Dynasty in your background and conclusion tracks, man they have immense talent in both music and poetic lyrics!
The granite blocks crumbling from the inside out are very intriguing. But here's an idea: as granite is a porous stone, what would happen to the blocks if they were submerged for a long period, and then exposed again in an increasingly dry environment, with lots of sun and heat? The outside would dry much faster than the inside, right? And if for some reason the moisture becomes “trapped” inside the block, taking a while to complete drying, perhaps this could cause the effect we saw in this video?
I’ve been thinking the same thing! And now for my unpopular addition :) : What could cause so much water to soak through a whole granite pillar? Noah’s flood!
In regard to the eroded granite blocks, I was at this site with Yousef and Hugh Newman last year, I still think, based on the idea of them being ‘offering’ stones that they are deteriorated from exposure to organic acids. The geologist is correct in the neutralizing effect of the surrounding limestone geology but if you piled up fruits and vegetables, oils, or animal carcasses you could easily create acidic contamination. It’s why you have to be careful with granite countertops. Additionally where I live, a temperate coniferous rain forest, we have abundant granite rocks and many display this kind of weathering due to the acidic soil conditions from these trees. As your geologist points out, the minerals that make up the granite have different resistances to acid and the feldspar would deteriorate quicker letting the stone fall apart. Also, the application of fire easily shells off granite if it is quenched with water once it gets hot and a campfire can easily be hot enough to do this. Otherwise, again, great content. Please keep up the good work.
@@AustinKoleCarlisle sorry, not the blueish star gate stone, that’s a different issue. I was referring to the rose granite ‘plinths’ with the bow tie recess discussed prior to the fractured archs
Your explanation of the evidence right in front everybody's is fantastic, I don't know what did it but I've cut 100s of tube drill holes in modern concrete and the copper drill idea is flimsy at the best
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?
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.
As a fellow Australian, I’m so happy Ben is on the front lines of all this fascinating stuff. Wish I was able to donate more. Keep up the great content
WOW. If only we'd been shown the great mysteries that still remain in the world in school and been set on a path of fascination and wonder. Instead, we've been sold a bunch of BS and told that we know all about Egypt and how they did these great things. Keep doing what you're doing Ben. Can't wait to see the results of those new Vaaahze scans 😉
According so some mentally challenged individuals in the comments -- who's professions surely are of high regard... -- its nonsense to look at physical evidence and do analytical research on the original structures. 😂 Ever more being covered by idiodic "restoration" work covering up evidence. I hope the majority are more scientifically literate and see how great of a presentation this is, leading to a plethora of questions and what SHOULD be a whole new field of university study. Coupling it with geology and petrology. Utilizing metrology such as the vase scan. It would be exciting to see. Morons don't like science and keep pushing back it seems.

Great video as always mate. One hour long but honestly felt like 10 minutes. First thing that popped in my head when i saw that large diameter tube drill hole was that the rounded stone on the left looked like it was about the same size and could have been some kind of giant door hinge. Fascinating stuff, i hope i can get myself to Egypt one day to see some of this stuff in person.
A few years ago I was camping in an area close to Bigfoot territory in Ohio near Salt Fork State Park. It was late at night and I had a fire going and was sitting by it reading a book and drinking a beer. Around 11:00 p.m. I heard a strange rustling in the trees behind my tent. Then I heard low guttural growls. I stood up, turned around and as I did a huge hairy creature emerged from the woods not more that 25 feet from me. It stood 8 feet tall and had to weigh in excess of 450 pounds. I stood motionless not knowing what to do when the creature began dictating the narrative. It slowly lifted its right hand and pointed to the beer I was holding in my hand. I immediately realized the beast wanted a COLD beer. And why not? It was at least 85 degrees and so humid you could cut the air with a knife. I popped a brewsky and gave it to him and motioned for him to come sit by my fire. He capitulated and as we sat by the fire I lit a cigarette. He instantaneously became agitated and started motioning to my mouth and then to his mouth. Damn, the Dude wanted a smoke. So I lit one for Bfoot and we continued socializing, drinking our beer and having a few smokes. Eventually Bfoot's eyelids began to droop. The beer was making him sleepy. He arose, waved goodbye and walked away, whistling as he disappeared into the woods. I haven't encountered the creature again, but since then I never venture into the woods without my Bud Light and a carton of Marlboros. Hopefully I'll meet the Big Guy again with his wife and children. If so, I hope the kids are at least 21. No way I'm doing time for serving minors. I got a rep to protect.😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣

Thanks again for all of the hard work and dedication! Ive been a fan for a couple years, and I just started playing Assassins Creed Origins for the first time. I have spent hours playing the game while rewatching a bunch of these videos. I think I have a new top 3 passtime lol
I work at a geotech consulting company. One of the tests we conduct is to core out cylinders of various foundation materials such as concrete or stone, then compress those cores in a hydraulic press until they break, and document the amount of force that they broke under. Testing compressive strength is essential for building things that need to support a lot of weight, and I think it's an interesting coincidence that the holes and cores of 'tube drills' look exactly like them.
13:49 I have seen this elsewhere before! This happens after wildfires to some stones, the stone gets so hot and the core of the rock traps the heat, then the heat is removed by cold causing the surfaces to crack exactly like this. I bet you there was set a blaze a large fire there. then water was applied, cooling the rock fast. then this happens. 43:50 Clearly six or seven holes drilled in a circle first to align the circle. then the larger bored drillhead was centred on the circles made from the six holes. ITs like what we do now to make a big hole. First make a small hole for guide. then enlarge it with a larger drillhead. The drillhead that made those overcuts might have been made of meteorite iron. Ben. Dear sir. You opened my eyes to this great time of humans. Thank you for exploring what can cause you to be laughed at. There are now too many proofs of ancient high tech methods, that the tools have not survived is just how things are, yeah? Like Urbans cannons.. we know they existed. But we cant find the molds or any proofs.
Not so. It's not "evidence" as you assume. It's speculation and assumption. Just because they don't understand it, doesn't "prove" what they are claiming. This is called assumption by the way, and this channel engages in endless assumptions, which makes this near worthless as "evidence".
i would do anything to see how all of these amazing structures were actually made. it blows my mind how there is such little documented evidence on how they really did it.
We know how they were made. They left detailed pictures of them doing it. Just because mongos like the prick grifting with his lies want to pretend it was aliens, doesn't change the facts.
Dear Ben, know one will definitely know until the time machine is invented, fun and enjoyable to speculate. Enjoy young man. You probably got something there keep at it
I just watched a "Sideprojects" video "5 controversial Theories about Ancient Civilizations." Most of the comments criticized his cavalier remarks and I think half the comments, including mine, referred to UnchartedX because you have done the research, kept an open mind and brought to light obvious flaws it the established narrative. Your videos stand out above all the others, because you stick to hard evidence (granite pun needed here) and do real science based research. You have managed to get thousands of people curious and intrigued by your research. A simple thank you really isn't enough. Because of you, I have no doubt, amazing discoveries lay ahead.
Yes it may seem inexplicable to us now because we have such short attentions spans nowadays and generally no need to make massive granite objects, and we're talking about an ancient culture that was very different from how we live now. That doesn't mean they didn't do their stonework by hand.
I suspect that if you could bring the designer of these pillars to the modern day and tell them the modern narrative, the first question they would ask would be "Did it never occur to you that we had dozens of support beams set up in rows because we were setting something really heavy on top of them?" It reminds me of when a wooden dock rots and only the wooden stilts that supported it are left. Imagine if we used the graffiti on those to determine who built them.
As always, another fantastic, informative and thought provoking video, Ben. Every time I watch one of your presentations, I want more, to delve deeper into the fascinating subject of ancient technologies and civilizations existing long before history records them. It's great work that you and many other do, and share with us, and greatly appreciated. I'm already looking forward to the next video and, if I may be so bold, would you ever consider doing a Q&A video for humble watchers like me? You answer very many of our questions in you excellent videos but there are always more. Just a thought. Thanks again for a great presentation.
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 :)
Boy do the people over on the mainstream archeology channels get mad when you ask questions.
@Ben 'Thanks for watching!' -BIG THANKS for always providing great content. I am already putting what i can more or less easily afford into the patreon of friends in simracing. But the least i can do is sharing every single video with (the 500 of) them and other friends.

@@FreeSpeechXtremist Seconding this. A comprehensive video on several vases is sorely needed!
I have worked with granite for over 20 years and the the cores are absolutely insane and here is why . With our modern diamond tiped coring bits since they are spinning they leave a spiral in the hole. The core drills we have today spin very fast but don't cut through granite very fast so the slower you cut the more turns the spiral will have. You see the opposite in Egypt they show a tool that rotated slowly but cut through the granite fast. Modern tools rotate around 10 to 15 thousand rpm and that's about the time it takes to cut through an inch of pink granite the holes in Egypt show a tool moving around 30 to 40 rpm to cut through an inch. With our current technology that is absolutely 100% impossible . And I'm not the average keyboard expert that usually makes a comment . I really have been working with grey pink and green granite for over 20 years 23 to be exact and if we tried to match their work it would take so much pressure to make that cut that either the tool would fail or the granite would fracture we can't do what they did and that is fact not opinion I thought ancient high technology was completely bullshit until I saw those holes and the cores that came out of them .
please have a trip to Egypt M, Thomas , what we see in very real , agree feed rate of 1 mm per turn is so fantastic , we cannot do that today but the aliens had hundred thousand years technological advance on us , they were using anti-gravity device
I am thinking that instead of a rotor blade they might of use some sort of a laser or ultrasound, again rotating. If they were using mechanical blabe, somehow they would have to fixate the rest of the drill to the surface of the object they are drilling, atleast I would assume. But no signs of fixing any machine to the stone is visible...
@@al2207these objects are precise but not interstellar alien precise, there is error in the thousands of an inch range, which is precise but not impossible for humans to fabricate with tools and certainly not the level of precision youd associate with the ability to travel across interstellar space

Geopolymer. While it is settling it is soft. Any drill can be easily pushed through it. Rotation is applied just to improve precision and prevent sticking to material.
Having watched all these channels all these years, I am convinced of an advanced human civilization deep into at least the 100’s of thousands of years into antiquity.

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.
i love this show.
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.

Though not surprising in this day and age, it’s amazing to me that Ben has naysayers and haters. Ben is truly one of the few who doesn’t insert his opinions or aspirations into the subjects he studies and presents to us. Just about every single thing I’ve heard from Ben is rooted with logic and observable science. The smooth delivery and extremely well put together videos makes these topics completely followable and understandable to nearly anybody. The world needs more people like Ben.
Yes! I agree!
Ben has haters because he's misleading people doing what he claims the academics are doing - trying to hide the truth. Think about it, he never wants discussion with people who have different points of view and instead is just sarcastic and rude in response to these people. You can see it in the youtube comments. He's also very selective about who he talks to and what evidence he shows in his videos. Being selective with evidence to tell the story you want isn't a scientific approach.

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.

"Vociferously slandered". Well said. If Ben is such an "amateur" what do they - other so called "professional archaeologists" have to be afraid of? I don't know, maybe alot of what they been shoveling is bullshit? Take Christopher Columbus. I was taught what a "great guy" he was. and he was first who "discovered the new world - America". Never mind the fact Vikings actually "found" and settled in Canada 700 years before Columbus. Or the fact Columbus wasn't such a "great" guy after all. Enslaving or killing approximately 10,000 indigenous Carribean people, or that he was found guilty of treason against the King of Spain causing Columbus to be imprisoned where he died. That kinda stuff? lol. Great comment, and expertly written. Take care. (yeah, I'm questioning pretty much "everything" I was ever taught about History from my public and even college education. If "you don't know" that's okay, just admit it, right?)

I gotta say... I was not ready for that last song. Between the breathtaking visuals and the harmony of that song, that was extremely powerful.
goodnight!
My name is Bruno, I'm a Brazilian geologist. I watched your videos on CZcams 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!
How would you do a coredrill with this method? Sounds like you are a good geologist who likely has never held a screwdriver in his hand...😉 Peace brother. Every brain engaged is a win.
So where did they get the tech and knowledge to manufacture diamond wire? All they had was copper...your hypothesis needs some work.
Back in the 1970s there was a report about a sparkplug found in a geode in Calif. Also, I recently saw a picture of something like a capacitor in an ancient rock and a hammer in a rock from Texas. These are all items that indicate an ancient high-tech civilization and visiting ETs in the distant past. Much MORE needs to be done in studying these things to determine their age and even their source of origin.
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.
Extended Induction heating from electrical current will do this to granite. Do an experiment, Try it.
@@joelstanley3894!!!!
Perhaps they had power grids that led to the accelerated decay of their structures, leaving only the decorative sculpture behind!
@@joelstanley3894Were they creating electricity above those granite blocks outside I wonder?
@@joelstanley3894 I wasn't thinking heating but some other treatment like adding chemicals or mineral solution to the surface as a treatment for smoothing, shaping or hardening. But why that would make the core crumble I cannot fathom, other than pressure.
What if they did electrolysis on these rocks to do this mineral application, and minerals were sucked from the inside to the outside? All theory and no practical I know, but it makes me wonder what is capable with rock. We just don't know until we experiment!
@@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.
One day Ben, they just won't be able to ignore your work. You will be remembered as one of the greatest practical scientists of the 21st century. I salute you, sir
Oh
That is so beautifully said
And true.
You put a lump in my throat.
I'm a sap.
Too right bro, Ben has come so far. I remember when his videos were him talking about photos. Now he’s talking at conferences with the greats of the movement.
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.
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.
@@mnomadvfx I think you are confusing stone with metal, sir. and feel free to provide any evidence for your crazy assumptions of pre-ice age weather in nile basin.
That song at the outro credits is so good! I love the snare hits and the slowly increasing tension for it all to stop and have the chorus of voices...
The polish on those “hats” near the end is unreal- they looked like someone freshly waxed them yesterday with electric buffers- to think that layer of shine has persisted for thousands of years through the sun beating down on it, weather, dust storms, sand and rock pelting it…and that modern man can’t make a polish that shines 20 years in a glass case- is absolutely mind boggling! 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!
Love your videos bro. You are the type of person I wish there were more of in this world. Don't quit your quest for knowledge for nothing my friend.
An electric flow could have caused the insides of the stone to deteriorate. Though most don't realize it, stone can conduct electricity and interact with heat or plasma phenomenon a lot more than one might think.
granite is not a good conductor of electricity you goof lmao.
I can't be alone on this!
Who else opens up maps or Google Earth when listening and looks at the sites being discussed?

Ben is a force of nature. A man riding the wave of an idea whose time has come.
Great choice in music too.
Easily one of my favorite channels. Alway happy to see a new episode drop.
I can not agree with you more many a time I turned off videos because of music and also abnoxious style of presentation kudos to Ben
The piece in the museum with 4 adjacent massive tubular drill holes blows my mind. 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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
Been waiting for this one for a long time. Went to Egypt when I was 16 and way before I read fingerprints of the gods for the first time and visited these two temples. You brought back the awe I felt when visiting for the sound and light show ^^
I just wish I knew then what I know now!
The internal disintegration of the Granite is extremely fascinating!!
Yes! Is it possible that the ancients somehow applied something to the outside surface, perhaps during the working process that strengthened the outside? Some type of polishing compound? Super interesting stuff
Hey Ben, excellent as usual. I'll bet it's annoying but if people have to misrepresent, in order to counter your argument, you have already won.

The transformed pillars actually remind me of something:
Welding electrodes, and more specifically, if your welder doesn't quite have enough juice for the rod, it'll stick to your work piece, eventually heating up and melting from the inside, instead of sparking + melting at the tip.
So, perhaps electricity could cause that effect, but from where, and how did it affect so many stones?
cataclysm 12,800 years ago
@@AustinKoleCarlisle if the pyramids were pumping energy up into the stratosphere and the obelisks were oscillators that channeled the energy down to where it was needed and used , like a flowing circuit , and then a series of comets comes flying through the atmosphere perhaps that would have caused a massive spike in the energy levels and 'blown' up the entire global circuit
Cathode and anodes
Such a great show and thank you, Around six millennia ago, there were 37 species of large-bodied mammals in Egypt, but only eight species remain today. 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. Thanks again.
Phenomenal content! I am waiting on the edge of my seat for more data and research from you and your colleagues. Thank you for continuing to make these presentations for the masses.

Still blown away by all your content Ben. Thank you!
Do keep us posted on Dunn's new book! Can't wait to buy and read it.
I think it's available late Jan 2024.
Ben, I believe the crumbling granite is a result of extreme heat. The outer surface now is under extreme pressure from within. We know there was a catastrophic event, hence the melted granite. I believe all life was wiped out.
look up "Younger Dryas Impact Field"
@@AustinKoleCarlisle I believe there was a catastrophic event. The Younger Dryas makes sense. I have hard of this before but never looked into it. I'm no scientist, archeologist, or geologist but just a guy with an inquisitive mind. With the similarities in carving methods around the world at many of these sites, I believe there was a human race which communicated around the globe and become extinct very quickly. How else can the similarities be explained. Once humans started reappearing, the level of craftmanship or technical knowhow at most of these sites was not near what it was originally.
So many unanswered questions.
@@j.o.a.t9718 also look up the Yuga Cycles, part of a Great 24,000-year Cycle. according to an article on Graham Hancock's website, we are currently in Kali Yuga which is expected to end in 2025. this period is considered the spiritual low point for humanity, and it's no surprise when you look at the events of the past 3-4 years. luckily we will start to ascend from that point forward, but usually these cycles are interrupted by natural disasters and cataclysms. coincidentally, the Younger Dryas Cataclysm (12.9 kya) perfectly lines up with this Great Cycle. it's very possibly that these mysterious artifacts and megaliths were created at the height of human spirituality and virtue before we were reset, using consciousness as the technology and not really a "machine" per se.
Thank you for all the hard work you do to bring all these magical things to our homes.
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.
I wonder if some type of electricity or a type of harmonic resonance would do that to the granite
the only voice of reason in this comment section, Thanks for sharing Mario!!!
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...
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.
Your work is so compelling and engaging, I never want them to end. Thank you

Standing ovation from me!!!These places fascinate us because of their many strange mysteries, but I don’t think we have a clue of just how magnificent this place once was!! In my opinion everything we have been told about such places needs to be chucked out the window and we need start all over!! Your amazing work on the beautiful stone vases is a shining example of what we can discover if we only dare to question the nonsense we have been told!!! While my studies have led to think our past is even more strange and magical than what your work delves into, I do think however that your work on these sites and the insane examples of anomalies which can be found there in, is of the utmost importance in changing the written accounts of our past story for future generations!!! If we don’t really understand where we came from how in the world can we ever figure out where we are going or what we are doing!! Thank you for all the amazing work you do and Bravo for this amazing documentary!!!🙏❤️
Cheers
P.S. In regards to the crumbling granite, if it is not a geopoloymer, maybe there was some kind of plasma event which caused this crazy damage. If it wasn’t an acidic burial for long periods in salt or fresh water, then maybe it was the combination of the burial in water and the plasm?????? 🤔
I am granite and marble mason and have experience of programming and operating a CNC machine, again working with granite and marble. I was very interested in the spiral marks left in the tube holes and would like to say that if you look at modern day machining marks left in granite core holes you will see these marks both left on the inside of the hole and on the hole plug which comes out once the core hole is completed. These are diamond marks left from the tool used to core out the hole… the closer the marks the slower the feed rate of the core drill used. You should approach a modern masonry work shop for better machining tool mark comparisons. An answer for starting a core drill and stopping it wondering is to use a thin piece of wood which you would drill first with the core drill . Then place this wood on your stone and stand on it , the core drill bit then sits in the hole in the wood which stops it from drifting while the drill seats into the stone . Once it starts forming the hole the wood can then be discarded. Hope this helps very interesting stuff
but you don't see spiral grooves 1 mm apart, do you? it takes 1000s and 1000s of rotations of modern cutting bits to penetrate 1 inch of granite.
This architecture fascinated me since I was a small child. I love that there's a channel dedicated to examining it all in greater detail. Thank you, Ben.

I like how he gives proper recognition .
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.
'Crumblelized' has instantly become one of my favourite words
The detailed realistic finish of the giant granite statues calves and feet look as if they would be warm flesh to the touch, 😳 just astonishing sculpture. They certainly make the sandstone pillars beside them look crude.
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!
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.
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.
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 .
It takes time but it is definitely possible. Master craftsmen do amazing things.
@@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.
@@sshreddderr9409yeah... and the Earth is flat. 🤦
About time I recognised your value, Ben: thank you, for your efforts and insights equally. ❤
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.
Adhan, call for fajr prayer (prayer before dawn) is one of the most beautiful sounds one can hear on this earth. Thx for including it in this awsome vid.
That Flaired end piece, of what it looks to be from a Huge column is just beautiful.. I’m completely astounded, lost for words actually.
The granite looking solid on outside few inches and crumbling on the inside reminds me of an electrical plasma experiment done using a tungsten rod, same thing happened where the inside became brittle. (Safire Project)
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.
Your theory is as good as the next one. These stones, really shouldn't fail like this.
agree , i think the obelisks and other structures were transmitting energy from the pyramids but were damaged when the earth magnetic was crushed during interstellar war resulting of massive back EMP due to rapid collapse of magnetic field inducing large current plasma into all structures under energy
Man did you take your meds today? Are you seeing aliens?
@@al2207 ye i think we were visited by andromeda galaxy and the aliens used to take a shit near the stones which infested it and made it crumble and break. That made them unusable for their real purpose which was to connect to the universe internet (very useful for alien porn)
i think you are seeing aliens from Andromeda galaxy billions light years away can you made a real comment ?? @@czx5555
Thanks for all your efforts Ben! Outstanding work time and time again.
This video was, for me, very interesting. It gets better and better
The most interesting statement in the whole video is that there is additional scanning and analysis of other pre-dynastic vases underway and that similar precision is being observed as was seen on the first vase. If true, that is the lynchpin to a new story of man. The level of design and manufacturing perfection in the first vase is so high that it would be challenging to produce even today, and the math that is encoded in the design wasn't know to our civilization until thousands of years after the vase was supposedly made.
well, to be fair, sacred geometry has always been purposely hidden to keep mankind in the figurative dark. we are *just* now rediscovering what we knew 10,000+ years ago.
Thank you Ben!! I so appreciate your passion and fortitude in the face of so many detractors. So many of whom have never seen these structures with their own eyes. I doubt that I’ll get the opportunity to witness these amazing things myself. Thank you again for letting me observe all of these marvels through your eyes.
I agree, well said.
That giant statue must have been epic. So amazing to let your mind go there, thanks for the videos.
I amazed by imaging what we do not know or understand . Ad an engineer , machinist and scientific thinker I just can’t fully conceptualize how they had the time , organization , tools and patience to manage this !!!
It was a different mindset back then.
'I am lion. Here me roar'.
It was about leaving your mark on the land. Claiming your territory. Each succeeding generation trying to outdo the previous generation.
One could theorize that the tools of importance were destroyed to prevent the next generation from surpassing them.
Fascinating, as always. Thank you, from an armchair enthusiast and 'traveller' from Scotland.
Great presentation Ben! You were able to cover a lot of information here, and present your findings in a professional and critical way. The amazing tool work and precision, is well documented here. It makes you wonder, how fast, and efficient these builders were? What was a day at the construction site like, when these blocks were set in place? The grano-diorite block failures, from the inside-out, is truly fascinating as well. There may be other places, this phenomena occurs, but I know of only one. The dolmans and wall, at Sage Mountain Montana, has some large granite stones, that appear to be falling apart, from the inside out.
Thanks as always Ben for another thorough investigation eloquent as expected. On a side note I also want to thank you for introducing me to the band Fifty Dollar Dynasty in your background and conclusion tracks, man they have immense talent in both music and poetic lyrics!
The granite blocks crumbling from the inside out are very intriguing. But here's an idea: as granite is a porous stone, what would happen to the blocks if they were submerged for a long period, and then exposed again in an increasingly dry environment, with lots of sun and heat? The outside would dry much faster than the inside, right? And if for some reason the moisture becomes “trapped” inside the block, taking a while to complete drying, perhaps this could cause the effect we saw in this video?
I’ve been thinking the same thing!
And now for my unpopular addition :) : What could cause so much water to soak through a whole granite pillar? Noah’s flood!
@angelalewis3645 that story was plagiarism... it was originally by the sumarians
Wicked video chap. And great ending tune. Top effort for the whole of it. Really really shining the light
In regard to the eroded granite blocks, I was at this site with Yousef and Hugh Newman last year, I still think, based on the idea of them being ‘offering’ stones that they are deteriorated from exposure to organic acids. The geologist is correct in the neutralizing effect of the surrounding limestone geology but if you piled up fruits and vegetables, oils, or animal carcasses you could easily create acidic contamination. It’s why you have to be careful with granite countertops. Additionally where I live, a temperate coniferous rain forest, we have abundant granite rocks and many display this kind of weathering due to the acidic soil conditions from these trees. As your geologist points out, the minerals that make up the granite have different resistances to acid and the feldspar would deteriorate quicker letting the stone fall apart. Also, the application of fire easily shells off granite if it is quenched with water once it gets hot and a campfire can easily be hot enough to do this. Otherwise, again, great content. Please keep up the good work.
the mystery isn't whether granite deteriorates, the mystery is why does this particular piece of granite deteriorate from the inside-out?
@@AustinKoleCarlisle sorry, not the blueish star gate stone, that’s a different issue. I was referring to the rose granite ‘plinths’ with the bow tie recess discussed prior to the fractured archs
excellent work as always utterly fascinating I hope it's all written in history books and taught in schools one day
Nice one Ben. These videos just add value to the wonderful experience we had with you over there, in Nov '22. Thank you!
Your explanation of the evidence right in front everybody's is fantastic, I don't know what did it but I've cut 100s of tube drill holes in modern concrete and the copper drill idea is flimsy at the best
I was in Luxor a few years ago. I wish I had known then what I have learned from these videos. I would love to go back some day.
The call to prayer was so beautiful. It's so soothing.
i instantly muted the video as my ears was melting of disarmony
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?
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.
@@sshreddderr9409 maybe it magnifies consciousness. just a thought.
As a fellow Australian, I’m so happy Ben is on the front lines of all this fascinating stuff. Wish I was able to donate more. Keep up the great content
WOW. If only we'd been shown the great mysteries that still remain in the world in school and been set on a path of fascination and wonder. Instead, we've been sold a bunch of BS and told that we know all about Egypt and how they did these great things. Keep doing what you're doing Ben. Can't wait to see the results of those new Vaaahze scans 😉
According so some mentally challenged individuals in the comments -- who's professions surely are of high regard... -- its nonsense to look at physical evidence and do analytical research on the original structures. 😂 Ever more being covered by idiodic "restoration" work covering up evidence.
I hope the majority are more scientifically literate and see how great of a presentation this is, leading to a plethora of questions and what SHOULD be a whole new field of university study. Coupling it with geology and petrology. Utilizing metrology such as the vase scan. It would be exciting to see. Morons don't like science and keep pushing back it seems.
@@dubselectorr345 over-specialization is certainly holding back the scientific community. we don't have renaissance men anymore. we need to severely rethink how we treat the education system because right now it's more of a business than it is about a genuine pursuit of knowledge.
Ben. Your work is unmatched. Keep on searching.
Ben, another fantastic episode! You have show me 3 new major things I had not seen before, despite being obsessed for years. You are the cutting edge!
The objects I find the most impressive are the granite, diorite and dolerite statues, how on earth did they do it?
it is not the Egyptians with the little copper tools they had even with iron tools it will not work , made by unknown alien civilization some 18,000 years ago
By believing in them selves
@@sadhu7191 don't forget the copper chisels and elbow grease! any thing is possible with enough time, like building a tower to the moon. i mean, you just keep adding more material and you'll get there eventually, right?
@@AustinKoleCarlisle hahahaha copper chisels, and dolerite pounding stones can make perfectly flat surfaces, and achieve ridiculous levels of symmetry. For sure nothing else was used......even though current computer run cnc machines operate in larger tolerances than we find in even some of the most basic objects.
@@ryurc3033 Why is this unbelievable? There are people in many countries still working with granite by hand today, such as work being done on granite temples in India, and there's tons of ancient stone work that's been done by hand all over the world. I'm curious, what method do you think they used to do this granite construction?
Great video as always mate. One hour long but honestly felt like 10 minutes.
First thing that popped in my head when i saw that large diameter tube drill hole was that the rounded stone on the left looked like it was about the same size and could have been some kind of giant door hinge.
Fascinating stuff, i hope i can get myself to Egypt one day to see some of this stuff in person.

A few years ago I was camping in an area close to Bigfoot territory in Ohio near Salt Fork State Park. It was late at night and I had a fire going and was sitting by it reading a book and drinking a beer. Around 11:00 p.m. I heard a strange rustling in the trees behind my tent. Then I heard low guttural growls. I stood up, turned around and as I did a huge hairy creature emerged from the woods not more that 25 feet from me. It stood 8 feet tall and had to weigh in excess of 450 pounds. I stood motionless not knowing what to do when the creature began dictating the narrative. It slowly lifted its right hand and pointed to the beer I was holding in my hand. I immediately realized the beast wanted a COLD beer. And why not? It was at least 85 degrees and so humid you could cut the air with a knife. I popped a brewsky and gave it to him and motioned for him to come sit by my fire.
He capitulated and as we sat by the fire I lit a cigarette. He instantaneously became agitated and started motioning to my mouth and then to his mouth. Damn, the Dude wanted a smoke. So I lit one for Bfoot and we continued socializing, drinking our beer and having a few smokes. Eventually Bfoot's eyelids began to droop. The beer was making him sleepy. He arose, waved goodbye and walked away, whistling as he disappeared into the woods.
I haven't encountered the creature again, but since then I never venture into the woods without my Bud Light and a carton of Marlboros. Hopefully I'll meet the Big Guy again with his wife and children. If so, I hope the kids are at least 21. No way I'm doing time for serving minors. I got a rep to protect.😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣
One time I thought I spotted a rare Banjo Kazooie in the wild hunting jiggies but it was just Yao Ming wearing a fur coat. He scooped me under one arm and carried me 200 miles away to a Chinese restaurant where we ate dim sum and discussed the meaning of life.
@@lwzeis DAMN, I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE WITH YOU. NOTHING LIKE SOME GOOD DIM SUM.
hell yeah. Beers and smokes with bigfoot. why not
Can you imagine what it must have been like to visit these sites at the height of their use,incredible.even watching them being built must have been amazing,the size,the height,the scale is phenomenal.
Nothing gets me more jazzed than a new UnchartedX drop! Thank you my brother! Top quality as always. Keep it up
Thanks again for all of the hard work and dedication! Ive been a fan for a couple years, and I just started playing Assassins Creed Origins for the first time. I have spent hours playing the game while rewatching a bunch of these videos. I think I have a new top 3 passtime lol
wow ! I got goosebumps at the end , you're the effin' man Ben
If copper tools were being used, wouldn't there be a sizeable amount of copper dust at Aswan?
I work at a geotech consulting company. One of the tests we conduct is to core out cylinders of various foundation materials such as concrete or stone, then compress those cores in a hydraulic press until they break, and document the amount of force that they broke under. Testing compressive strength is essential for building things that need to support a lot of weight, and I think it's an interesting coincidence that the holes and cores of 'tube drills' look exactly like them.
I love these videos and often show them as an example of what I'm talking about
13:49
I have seen this elsewhere before! This happens after wildfires to some stones, the stone gets so hot and the core of the rock traps the heat, then the heat is removed by cold causing the surfaces to crack exactly like this. I bet you there was set a blaze a large fire there. then water was applied, cooling the rock fast. then this happens.
43:50
Clearly six or seven holes drilled in a circle first to align the circle. then the larger bored drillhead was centred on the circles made from the six holes. ITs like what we do now to make a big hole. First make a small hole for guide. then enlarge it with a larger drillhead. The drillhead that made those overcuts might have been made of meteorite iron.
Ben. Dear sir. You opened my eyes to this great time of humans. Thank you for exploring what can cause you to be laughed at. There are now too many proofs of ancient high tech methods, that the tools have not survived is just how things are, yeah? Like Urbans cannons.. we know they existed. But we cant find the molds or any proofs.
Ben, the evidence you present is just jaw-dropping.
Not so. It's not "evidence" as you assume. It's speculation and assumption. Just because they don't understand it, doesn't "prove" what they are claiming. This is called assumption by the way, and this channel engages in endless assumptions, which makes this near worthless as "evidence".
i would do anything to see how all of these amazing structures were actually made. it blows my mind how there is such little documented evidence on how they really did it.
I honestly think there probably was more documentation, but it didn't withstand time
We know how they were made. They left detailed pictures of them doing it. Just because mongos like the prick grifting with his lies want to pretend it was aliens, doesn't change the facts.
Dear Ben, know one will definitely know until the time machine is invented, fun and enjoyable to speculate. Enjoy young man. You probably got something there keep at it
I just watched a "Sideprojects" video "5 controversial Theories about Ancient Civilizations." Most of the comments criticized his cavalier remarks and I think half the comments, including mine, referred to UnchartedX because you have done the research, kept an open mind and brought to light obvious flaws it the established narrative. Your videos stand out above all the others, because you stick to hard evidence (granite pun needed here) and do real science based research. You have managed to get thousands of people curious and intrigued by your research. A simple thank you really isn't enough. Because of you, I have no doubt, amazing discoveries lay ahead.
Fantastic work Ben .There's so many inexplicable things . Thanks to everyone who helped on this and wants to forward our knowledge .
Yes it may seem inexplicable to us now because we have such short attentions spans nowadays and generally no need to make massive granite objects, and we're talking about an ancient culture that was very different from how we live now. That doesn't mean they didn't do their stonework by hand.
@@kiasia3219 please explain the 1 mm thin cutting edge of the 9 INCH tube drill hole.
@@AustinKoleCarlisle I can't explain that because I haven't done the research, so that must mean they had giant power lathes and sonic drills
@@kiasia3219 we both know that copper is too soft to be that wide and thin. something else must've cut those holes.
@@AustinKoleCarlisle Yes, I'm not sure what it was. But I'm still going to assume it was a hand-powered tool :)
I suspect that if you could bring the designer of these pillars to the modern day and tell them the modern narrative, the first question they would ask would be "Did it never occur to you that we had dozens of support beams set up in rows because we were setting something really heavy on top of them?"
It reminds me of when a wooden dock rots and only the wooden stilts that supported it are left. Imagine if we used the graffiti on those to determine who built them.
As always, another fantastic, informative and thought provoking video, Ben. Every time I watch one of your presentations, I want more, to delve deeper into the fascinating subject of ancient technologies and civilizations existing long before history records them. It's great work that you and many other do, and share with us, and greatly appreciated. I'm already looking forward to the next video and, if I may be so bold, would you ever consider doing a Q&A video for humble watchers like me? You answer very many of our questions in you excellent videos but there are always more. Just a thought. Thanks again for a great presentation.
yep probably due for a livestream or something
Oh 🤮
Excellent watch, well put together Sir.
