The thing is there is no particular reason an ancient egyptian couldn't have made this, they did a lot of stoneware and you can use sand grit to help grind away and polish. Diamond power cutters are very nice to have but aren't a requirement. It makes you wonder if some statues had free moving pieces like this.

if it is perfectly symetrical up to the thickness of a hair and was suppposed to be made 4000 year ago does that really seem similar? lol

First time hear, but I really appreciate that despite clearly knowing a lot about rocks, there’s still joy in “this sounds cool when you clink it like this”

I cut out a few hours to make it look a little easier than it was. Thanks for continuing to invite me to do this. I kind of panic every year trying to think of an idea. This was actually not what I originally planned to do, but a piece of equipment didn't arrive in time to do that project. Maybe next year.
