Watching cemetery stone engravers for 35 years, seen turn of the century carvers trying to match that time period they have compressors to use their old chisels, they take a rubbing of the fonts then transfer it to the headstone and chip it out I never seen a stone that looks as clean as the mordern sand blasted ones, but they do match the old style that is what the family was attempting when finished? The old way took much more time could it be that the older statues had been worked on for a longer time?

i gotta say, not just your work, which i appreciate very much, but your way of narrating is genuinely enjoyable, the way you build your arguments, and explain everything down to detail is what i wish from everyone who is laying down any argument, the work you do is really awesome, and i look forward to every upload!

Something about the weathered texture of the stone and the desert suns light and shadows that always translated really well onto the page with a good heavy cartridge paper and soft pencil.

Your mind is blown for what reason, conjecture? Let's compare my wood shed to the Sisteen chapel? Omg, the only logical explanation is aliens, or technology left by a long lost, advanced, forgotten culture. Surely with all the advancements of modem man, my wood shed should be orders of magnitude beyond a church made nearly 600 years ago. Think about that, the Sisteen chapel has a level of craftsmanship *LIGHTYEARS* beyond anything the Egyptians could ever dream of creating, and it was created nearly 600 years ago. Ig, never underestimate the abilities of man, especially those whom dedicated their entire lives to a single craft. K suspect there were literally thousands of men whom did nothing but make stone boxes, and they're people that are part of a craft handed down from generations. He keeps harping on *MOS SCALE* and high polishes, as if that equates to anything remotely relevant. Yiu do realize cherts and quarts were used as tools by cavemen, and they both have a Mos hardness of 8++. Dolerite is very similar to quarts, as is the entirety of the stone used by the ancient Egyptians, because it is very easy to work with. In regards to polish, ffs, the children probably did the polishing. Polishing is not difficult, it's time consuming, and you could literally use you hand, and sand, to create a mirror polish on Dolerite. Their works are impressive, but pale in comparison to other works of art created by man, in which we have no question who, and when they were built. The Flavian Amphitheater was finished in 80AD. That's two thousand years ago, and is objectively a far greater display of craftsmanship than the pyramids. The Parthenon, temple of Athena, any number of Greek buildings have columns that are literally *THOUSANDS OF TONS* larger than anything the dynastic; I have no idea why he chooses to highlight the Egyptians were dynastic, it doesn't make him sound smarter Egyptians created. Why is it believable that the Greeks built temples and used pillars 150ft tall (larger than anything in Egypt) and used hundreds of pillars that were 500 tons, over two thousand years ago! When comparing the accomplishments of the Egyptians to the Greeks, the Roman's or the Chinese, Egypt, is not that impressive. This is comically ridiculous. Btw every time he gives a weight on something, he's literally off by thousands of tons. For instance I'm watching this as a type and he just claimed a 5 ton object is 1000 tons.. This entire video is conjecture and ridiculous.

on the statue where you point out the dual cuts forming an angle...in the armpit....has anyone tried to measure the depth along the length of each? Because if its variable in each or both, depth measurements could be used to calculate a possible radius of the cutting tool proving a circular cutter. Proving the use of a rotary tool would be significant i think. ...Excellent presentation, thank you!

Its clear that the history of Humankind is not what we are led to believe and we as a species are far, far older and have risen and fallen barely surviving a number of cataclysmic events. I wonder if that is the reason that there is an obvious manifesto to maintain the 'established timeline'? That evidence found points to a cyclical rise then sudden and cataclysmic fall that is both alarming and threathening to the powers that be.. If there is evidence that civilisations have risen and fallen for tens of thousands of years (if not more!) then religion for one, loses is validity, power and control... Keep up the great work...

Indeed, consider the fact that it is already plainly understood and accepted that the later dynasties inherited from the former dynasty. 3000 years from the first to the end of the last dynasty. The first dynasty is literally ancient in comparison to latter days of the final dynasty. Cleopatra is closer to the opening of the first McDonalds, than she was to the time the Pyramids of Giza were supposedly built (in just it's currently believed time of construction). Since we already accept this ancient inheritance, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to believe the first dynasty itself also inherited from a former more advanced ancient civilisation.

Can't get enough! Thanks

I'm still very very impressed with the seated Ramses 11 carved from the hillside. The more I watch your features the more it boggles the mind as to how this was done.

Do a video that goes through the math for moving that toppled statue on flat ground. Could a sled be constructed with just wood granite copper and rope?

Good video as usual! I wonder if anyone has studied the faces and analyzed them for similarities related to the quality (age) of the statues.

Ben, I love your work. Please keep it up.

just wanted to say i love your opening song it makes me feel we are on the traces of something mysterious and long forgotten.

It's really weird how the quality of the pyramid construction went down over time. It still happens though, I'd cite the Jurassic Park films as an example.

It didn't go down over time, pyramid construction progressed up to the construction of the Giza pyramids, then after a time they stopped making these structures and later ones were less sophisticated - he's given you half the truth.

Not sure if consensus is changing.

It seems like this advanced civilization could have existed at any point in the previous glaciation. None of the advanced megalithic sites are near the glaicers. they are only about as far north as Italy or Japan. The sweltering hot underground chambers of Egypt might have been more pleasant during the glaciation, as the temperatures could have been roughly 10F cooler than today. The insulating effect of large blocks, and underground construction also points to ice age era builders. Clearly it was still warm in Egypt at the time, as the statues show sparse and thin clothing was preferred. Also, I think it is possible that the civilization we see in Egypt and elsewhere was actually a global one, and probably most typified by the people and garb of ancient Cambodia.

Of course the YD event was not just a one off, before which was millennia of global climatic tranquility. Civilizations may have come and gone with tidal regularity over countless millennia. I guess I'm stating the obvious really.

What I ask myself beyond who built these, what force was able to destroy them? If people did it, there would be holes, pounding marks, blast holes, etc. Yet, broken pieces look like they were crumbled, like breaking apart bread, or breaking glass.

My thoughts exactly. My best guess is a solar supernova, the same reason these civilizations were reset

The giant carved hand looks to be holding a dagger hilt not a scroll but that's just my opinion as many of the smaller statues feature daggers that have an identical wave on the tip of the hilt. The more videos on this subject I watch the more obvious it is how little we really know about our lost history. One aussie to another, love your work ben + team! keep up the amazing research.

Love your delivery style Ben. No bull just inescapable facts. So many Academics these days are comfortable with their 'rightness' and just do not want to consider an alternative, however reasonable it may be.

Another great vid Ben. Unrelated to this one, I know you've done a vid on the stone lathed urns before, but I would be interested in your expanded thoughts about how they were made. What intrigues me about their manufacturing is how the handles that you see on many of them would have been crafted if they were turned on a lathe? Keep up your great content mate.

Ancient Persia and East India have a deep history of ancient stone turning techniques that is where those vases came from. They have clay tablets that tell of the laves process and accounting records of sales to other countries. 3000 bc Persia was the richest country alive according to there ancient records.

Exactly, when looking inside the vases sometimes the turn makes are visible, especially closer to the base. Those side nubs (because I wouldn't even call them, handles) throw even a larger wrench in to our attempts to explain the methods of manufacturing, even in the context of our current tools. As a machinist, I don't even entertain the absurd, mind-numbingly inadequate explanations given by academia. Brut force and Copper is laughable to anyone who has physically built anything. The sheer number of them at over forty thousand is astounding, as well. Another issue I see is how unbelievably thin the walls are in some vases. The speed of rotation required to effectively cut that material would produce incredible centrifugal force, undoubtedly causing the brittle material to explode and fly in all directions. Those vases and many other artifacts were made with tools we can't comprehend and have nothing analogous to them.

The tour guide made a point about rougher surfaces in some statues being intentionally made like that so that paint would adhere better. This would support the fact that there were two different crafts in the process and may also give hints to the decline in quality. Maybe they worked out it that it was harder to make these super hard smooth surfaces look exotic or realistic and intentionally made that mistake.. did ceramics originally come from Egypt?

Depends on when they were built. If it was before the Younger Drias, then massive floods. If meteor strike was the cause of Younger Drias, then huge shocks and vibration depending on where was the impact. It could've been as simple as one or more earthquakes over the centuries. Also if you see a broken nose/hand/leg then it's the work of radicals who could've even toppled some of the statues.

That black stone vase standing on its tip gets me every time! - with 2 latches nonetheless.

Can you make an episode on how the mainstream and other analysis can explain the crazy distruction of statuses and large stones and columns?! What would break such things made of hundreds of tons of hard stone? I wish someone can talk about this topic i searched all youtube about it

@@anzacman5 I wouldn't put much stock in "solar plasma events" as advertised if I was you. The issue isn't how to explain how "solar plasma" could mess stuff up, the problem is trying to explain how any such thing was bad enough to do that there without slagging the entire side of the planet facing that way at the time. When the sun does fire off a big bubble of plasma it's usually wider than Earth when it forms and is generally a million miles wide or more by the time it gets out this way. Considering there was no mass extinction like killed the dinos then nothing remotely like that could've happened. Massive earthquakes would've been much more common between 18000 and 6000 BC as the ice sheets melted. It's not just the crust under the glaciers rebounding there also the 120 meters of added water column as all that H2O returns to the seas. That's over 100 metric tons per square meter of seafloor. This includes the Mediterranean and it's entirely possible that when that mass left the oceans and went to the ice sheets any number of faults now sealed shut by that weight might've been open and much more active than today all throughout the iceage. That could explain the prevalence of monolithic polygonal monuments (they might've learned it was all that would stay up) _and_ how so much of it is extremely damaged today.

The answer doesn't have to be that complicated.. often when a new ruler came into power, possibly with new religious rules/practices, for one reason or another they tried to delete/erase the ruler before. This has been shown many times by chiseling off the face of a pharoah on wall descriptions, etc. When it comes to the statues, earthquakes aside, you get a bunch of people, throw some large ropes over the statue and pull till it topples over. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Badda bing, badda boom. Done. You let gravity do the work.

@@secretnewmeta1981 As for the idea that currently silent or relatively inactive faults may loosen while sea levels drop idk. Short of experiencing another iceage perhaps computer modeling with best seismic scans of the sea floor may be able to answer it. As for the idea that melting glaciers would've seen an incredible uptick of how strongly and how often quakes would occur, that's not really controversial though unclear in detail. We know we're talking about >40 _million_ cubic kilometers of water going from ice sheets to ocean basins after it's had time to depress continental crust half a mile in spots. There's a well known correlation between seasonal snow load and the background of low level tremors; basically the crust in temperate areas deform ever so slightly under winter snow accumulation then bounce back when its gone. The quakes aren't normally perceptible though. That's nowhere near as much effect as an actual ice sheet would impose even if it takes a thousand times longer to accumulate and dissipate. And while the ocean crusts wouldn't see the same point loads as where the ice sheets were those ocean plates are much thinner and most happen to have well known spreading faults like the Pacific's Ring of Fire where frankly all hell would basically have to break lose compared to what we experience today. Egypt has only apparently had one major quake in the last three thousand years or so but it does bound the Med and every square meter of the med would've seen over 100 metric tons added. Like most places there was never any glaciers close by during the iceage but there's a long list of places near salt water basins seeing a degree of loading and unloading far beyond anything experienced in recorded history... Unless someone was recording it but their civilizations records didn't make it through anyway.
