@@jonathansturgisjs Wrong! There were or still there are lots of tangible information and wisdom but hidden from most of us.

Well this Ball's been here a long time and I would only assume we're not the first ones here and we won't be the last. 📡👽🇺🇸 RUN!!! A lot of technologies we're not ready for we don't know how to handle them I.e nuclear.

Like the first emperor of china. He had destroyed technology and medicine that has been passed down for thousands of years. There's a lot of knowledge that cure the current disease that we have no clue to cure.

Id be curious to know whats in Vatican archives. Supposedly there's like 56 miles worth of scrolls and books and whatnot down there.

@@jared4902 kinda makes you wonder why they'd want to keep it hidden, does it prove everything they're saying wrong? Are they hiding it so they can keep their grasp on the religious? Hmmm

Or perhaps that stone was once wood that petrified

or that there might have been other civilizations that had as much tech as ours before being wiped out by a catastrophe.

Or maybe each civilization had their own speciality

While it cant be taken as proof, the angels in the bible taught men technology beyond their time which is one of the reason for the great flood. Imagine if that was true.

@@Delacrow_l_Chawngthu Maybe. Any record on the period, no matter how accurate can only amount to cliff's notes, basically.

Given that the 1800's was filled with "archeologists" and "historians" who's entire job was to misinterpret history and destroy evidence of prior civilizations advances to further glorify the European nations... even though for the most of history Europe was the least advanced hub of civilization. I would wager your on the right track.

These are definitely my favorite. They have tons of them, too.

We could also do with more people questioning our present! We are being asked to buy some pretty silly ideas today as well....

He doesn't know.. he clearly said that scientists say they used that stuff.

Agreed, its probably a rusted peice of the engine itself

What method? The truth is it was never dated.

@@danbiss87 Its not pure metal, just likely a concretion of minerals, similar to a stalactite, which can form in decades.

How did they do it?

And further... when your god-king told you to do it, you bloody well put the time and effort into doing it. Otherwise... you weren't just going to be fired.

@@jmz2144 Time and the uncertainty of death

Yup, ancient does not equal stupid. They have their own way to do things. Us would be considered primitive too for future human.

It's amazing that despite the proof to the contrary some people still think it is some kind of ancient artifact. I've just read your piece on it from the TalkOrigins archive ... excellent work, thank you.

My guess was that the spark plug tips where coated with platinum, or some other catalyst (like they do,) and THAT caused the rust to form quicker than it would have without. And if thus guy says "artifiCHal" one more time.....

Dammit ... I enjoyed that OOPART~!

My wife and I took a private flight over Nazca ten years ago. Quite an experience!

Or maybe it was them trying to talk to the "God's" (aliens) ?

Without slave labor? Not much

I'm amazed they didn't somehow claim that aliens did it

Spot on!

Yes and the grooves look like they are all going in at a constant rate not being pushed by a man. I work on a milling machine and get the same marks when the tips are worn.

@@damianbutterworth2434 exactly! I find it interesting how those of us who have actually worked with powered equipment see these obvious details right away yet there is a group of academics who have no experience continue to ague these artifacts were made with Bronze Age tools. Further these people who could not build a birdhouse are considered to be the experts in ancient construction methods.

@@hecanseeme8210 They should measure the distance between the machining grooves to find out more, A copper tube with sand and rope powering it like I`ve seen as the reason would just give a smooth hole. Like you say they have no common sense.

@@damianbutterworth2434 another proposed theory is that thousands of years ago, they weren't working with "rock", but that they were actually working with "cement" or "clay" which over time has fossilised into "rock". then that is why the machining marks are so apparent insert technical terms where necessary.

@@damianbutterworth2434 Not to mention that a copper tube with sand and rope can't explain what we see at 5:29...

And if corrundum can cut granite, then any ruby laden bits may have been taken by raiding parties or locked in a Vatican vault. Not sure what you can do with sinew dipped in resin or tar and coated in ruby/sapphire/garnet/diamond, but maybe cutting stone isn't beyond them since you can get good speed out of those hand powered wheel drills.

Also: sulfure stone, fluorite crystal and water are all you need to make hydrofluoric acid which can dissolve silicates like granite. There's tell of a plant that was used, and I'm betting it was a plant that grew over fluorite granite and its soils. If reduced to a slurry, it could have been a sort of acidic lubricant that eased cutting and didn't harm non silicate gemstones. Maybe even jade could do the job? You could make some great bits from jade that might not dissolve... but I can't say for sure.

@@Cretaal Copper drills were routinely used by Egyptians as evinced by hieroglyphic depictions, including through granite when aided by quartz sand and water. The process has been repeatedly demonstrated IRL.

@@bigglesmcgillicuddy3388 the process has been demonstrated yes, but leaves very different markings in the hole.

You may be right.?? But to have that type of advanced technology 5 thousand years ago is the question..

Good call. Yep, I was thinking the same thing.

Came here to say this, but I knew someone would already have.

🤣😂🤣 you ever see an excavator bucket with aluminum teeth? Hell no. That's because they wouldn't last two minutes. I ain't saying it's alien. I am saying it damn sure IS NOT the tooth from an excavator bucket. Use your brain man.

Never saw aluminum used for any sort of excavator tooth

@@harryneumann8304 they where used for coal mining. Since aliuminium is less likely to cause sparks which is very hazardous in the coal mining industry. With all the gases and coal dust in the air. Preventing sparks while keeping up with the mining methods of the time . There was a huge coal industry in Romania

Source: Trust me!!

i agree, today we have places to be, work, meetings, birthdays, school, back then there was no rush for all they knew this was the one thing they were born to do !

And the method? Still hasn't been reproduced in any convincing way by those who have done "demonstrations".

I think it’s a Chinese invention.

I first heard the cup mentioned in a pre-calculus class I took years ago at a university. My professors explanation for the cup was that Pythagoras would give his students these cups when he had them divide up wine between themselves. That way if the student who was pouring the wine became greedy and decided to pour himself more than the others, he would then be embarassed by the cup emptying the wine all over the table, exposing the students greed in front of the others. I have no idea where this version of the story came from, but found it interesting. It may not be the actual origins of the cup, but I found it interesting none the less

@@johnnybodybags3994 makes the most sense

It was a Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, or (dare I say it) an Edsel!

In ancient times they have a rare metal which is able to cut stone like wood ...now the rare metal is finish from Earth.

"They" didn't. It simply was not "them".

Copper drills aided by quartz sand and water. The process has been demonstrated. Copper was the most common metal in ancient Egypt and they're known to have routinely used copper drills, even in granite. There are hieroglyphs depicting it.

@@bigglesmcgillicuddy3388 Apples and oranges. You miss the vital point (first pointed out by Sir Flinders Petrie) that the grooves are NOT circles (as they would be with copper drills) but continuous spirals with a bore spacing so wide that even modern powered drills could not achieve that speed of drilling. The fact that hieroglyphics depict ancient Egyptians making holes in soft limestone is totally irrelevant because everyone accepts that they DID drill holes in soft stone. The point you are missing is that the methods they used could not have made six or nine-inch holes several yards deep (!) in granite, as found in Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. The SPIRAL grooves indicate a revolving cutting tool. Copper drills would make just circular marks.

@@bigglesmcgillicuddy3388 you're wrong on many levels. Would you like to discuss them😂

'Computer' is too general a term. It was used to predict solar, or cosmic, events.

I'd say that it's an analogue computer. Primitive, but still a computer ...

It does, but it wouldn't last long unless the material was easy to dig, like in mud or sand.

first thing that came to my mind was "excavator bucket" too haha

Yeah... thats a cool way to push some knowledge into a morons brain

@@yachasiki4676 best comment this week

Same as using a pocket knife to cut down an oak tree "slow but it does cut

My willy is made of glass,dew it I'm sorry

White supremacy thought. Saharan Africans(maybe moors or berbers) (def ancient egypt) perfected all these glass colors techniques and trades

I heard the Venetians were the best glass makers in the world.

Well, One from the 17th and 18th century may express that but the artisans of that time were using tools and formulas from the previous 1200 years, The Roman Techniques and industrial applications were well established for the Venetians.. The Romans just had the Talent pool of the entire conglomerated Empire and concentrated it all on one peninsula and applied it at an industrial scale, Great discoveries and streamlining are expected. Thats why very little has changed for the modern Artisan, We still use the same tools and techniques. Granted, The industrial revolution did change the formulas a lot as science developed better glasses for industrial applications vs Consumer based /Utilitarian and with that, some crossover techniques of today were simply impossible back then as they are specific to the type of glass being worked, . As a whole though Its still glass and works all the same.

What about the Lysuegis Cup that had nanotechnology and the legendary "unbreakable" and reshapable "glass".

They had access to diamonds and several metals either locally or through trade. They were going hundreds of miles to source stones and materials, they knew what they were doing. I get tired of the" Scientists have no idea" line used in so many videos.

You guys need to understand engineering and science to understand that there are unexplained artifacts that we find. What you stated is false. We cannot create today everything that we have discovered. You are welcome to write it, you can believe it, and you can use this comment section with clever comebacks, but it is still not fact. False blunder. Passionate opinions worrying by consumers of limited information

there is no way we could make a granite box that is as perfect as the one being studied there. seven diferent companies would go bankrupt trying.

@@focalgain Well said

the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.

Or maybe an archeologist could have a conversation with a lapidary, or visit a working stone quarry.

@@hohner51 exactly

It's even been advanced to create all sorts of colors go watch corning museum of glass.

it does kinda look like that, but excavators use ultra hard steel and carbide, aluminum is fairly soft

@@katsumiskytower8714 They also use duraluminum, which is 90% aluminum, identical to this specimen. Unlike steel shovels, Duraluminum won't cause sparks (and ignition) when working in areas near gas line methane pockets. Duraluminum also oxidizes very rapidly, giving the aged and pitted appearance. It is an excavator tooth. Little doubt of that.

Thoughtful. However, Aluminum is a considered far too soft a metal and unlikely to be used in a "typical" excavation tooth.

@@luxxul7236 Duralumin is used for excavation teeth. It wasn't conjecture, I was pointing out a fact. I worked in an aluminum plant for nearly twenty years. There are numerous alloys of aluminum, and several structural grades are more than capable.

@@bigglesmcgillicuddy3388 Ty for the input

Especially the issues of any of their "theories". Our science hasn't even scratched the surface.

"actually"

Except that specimen was never dated. Not by anyone. And no citation suggesting 500k years has ever been provided. Because it's bunk. This specimen was a result of concretion, which can occur over decades rather than eons.

Wrong. Much of the stonework is literally impossible to achieve without having tools that exceed our present capabilities. Those core drills show one continuous spiral indicating a rate of cutting that can only be matched today when drilling through plastic. We don't have a method of hollowing out a 50 ton block of granite to make a box from a single piece, etc. The evidence that power tools were used 1000's of years ago is everywhere.

I think they used the energy of the sun somehow.

They used a whip

Well said bill

the problem is the dating. It's being dated before homo sapiens basicly

@@RodrigoRocha-of2xb ah, now I see the mystery. Ok I got it, dinos on wheels

Aluminum teeth on an excavator?! Were they trying to break it by lunchtime?

Yeah pretty sure no one made an excavator from aluminum

@@charlesterrizzi8311 Yeah, they do make sacrificial bucket teeth out of aluminum. It's not even that uncommon.

We very much could, the narrator is being hyperbolic. There are even many videos on KZfaq of people using simple and complex tools in creative ways with a variety of scales. People in a time period with no powered tools came up with smart ways to do grand things after all, they are not less intelligent then those living today.

Thanks bro! Very nice!

Aliens.

Never underestimate the power of a man with a whip, or if you don't get 'x' done your family doesn't eat

6 hours to go through 1/8" of stone with a diameter of what, 1/16 of an inch? Ok, lets talk about the 1000's of holes through granite, andesite etc... that are much much larger and deeper. Lets also throw in the various star shaped holes through the same material. How about the tool marks and striations inside some of these holes that are not circular scratches, but confirmed to be continuous spiraling tool marks that progress uniformly down into the hole. The evidence is everywhere that will contradict the accepted claims of how it was achieved. The more you actually analyze the evidence, the clearer it becomes how little we know of history.

@Craig Sowers Explain the one at 5:29... what type of "bow drill" does that, because it's not circular.

Another apples and oranges explanation. It just does not account for the facts. But then, when did archaeologists ever value the real facts over their precious theories?

Don't you remember the world ended already in 2012! There was even a movie about it!

No, in many cases the holes were drilled in the process of creating the piece.

No

Do tell.

@@johna.4334 it’s a sharping technique. When you run a blade at a high rate with light pressure it can expose new portions of the abrasive. Makes a more accurate cut.

The experts think it's boring to read the diaries of common people an labourers from the past. They would rather gleam from the past through they eyes of degenerate elite.

The ancient Egyptians did not use diamonds as jewellery. There is no evidence that they ever used them for any reason. The mystery persists. You also miss the point that - even if they DID have diamond-coated drills - the power needed to provide the torque required to drill deep, wide holes in granite would have exceeded any mechanical source available to the ancient Egyptians.

Dating methods work fine. Misuse of the methods by quacks leads to videos like this.

I agree. There’s sooooo much wrong with carbon dating as it stands. But don’t argue with the “experts” right? They’re “educated”… 🤓😏
