I love your work. I carve granite and dolerite on the beach at Wherrytown in Cornwall, UK. I will say be careful of the dust, particularly from the flint. The Brandon flint knappers worked indoors to make gunflints and did not live to old age from silicosis. Thinking of you

@@grahamhill8280 Thank you! Can I look at your works?

@@ScientistsAgainstMyths Sorry I have nothing online to show, but will look into this. I split tough small available flint beach pebbles using the bipolar technique (pebble between fingers and impact from hardest dolerite hammerstone on similar large anvil stone). I hold flint between fingers just above granite and hammer it with a dolerite or quartz hammerstone (slips less as slightly crumbly and damages struck flint less). The flint naturally flakes and discarding the shards as I go, end up with a flattish fragment too small to use between fingers. I would use an all flint attack rather than saving it for final work, however flint is only an occasional find on this beach.

@@vodkaboy A lot of the "reluctance" towards accepting people being intelligent and capable of doing great things sadly has a lot to do with the fact that some people can't accept the idea that it wasn't always Europeans who did it. Having huge ancient civilizations in the Americas, Asia, and Africa doesn't fit the narrative of superior Europeans, (aka "white people"), so either it must have been aliens, or long lost "white races" from places now vanished - or maybe both. I've often debated some of these types on Social Media platforms like KZfaq and the old G+ and a lot of these types I've encountered denounced the scientific theory of evolution and especially the theory of human origin in Africa... And most of them were definitely "white" - or found some reason to elevate their "race" as being something extraordinary, so a few "black supremacist" and "Asian supremacist", (usually Chinese), as well.

@@chefdusse I cut granite everyday, polished too, years of work, and I still don’t think we can cut internal corners, fully polished like we see in kings chamber sarcophagus, and many other granite pieces around the area. This job here looks really rough, I know it’s their first go but regardless, if your using flint your always going to have blow outs, which are imperfections along the edges due to its mixed composition. Without diamond tipped rotary tools I can’t see how you could achieve such precision on such a hard yet fragile material. Even with our cnc saws we have blow outs and have to pick pieces up and glue them back into the stone edge to keep it looking natural.

Actually I’ll rephrase that, we don’t cut internal corners because the tools we use aren’t precise enough, but I can only imagine something like a little diamond tipped dremel drill could finish internal corners and polish them. Otherwise the min radius we can get is 5mm with a small rebate tool on the cnc machine.

@@Jack9N what is cnc?

@@mikev4621 computer numerical control. Runs off g code. We do not have to g code anymore for cutting though, that’s for the guys that fix the machines now. So basically a computer reads what I draw on autocad from a dxf file which is just lines in 2d, and the cnc machine cuts it to size, and to the angle I tell it to cut, & hopefully perfectly. So cnc accounts for all our machines with a head that moves, like a waterjet, a 5 axis bridge saw, or a cnc router (which is like a milling tool, that picks up different tools for whatever we need it for, edgework or holes)

The ancient Peruvians may have had pyrite based paste that would partially dissolve the stone.

The existence of "paste that would partially dissolve the stone" is not proven by anything. "Intricate stones" are obtained when to make stones of the correct shape is too hard. Labor costs for cutting a block of the correct shape are higher. Look: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_stone

Exactly. Debunking is so easy to prove on an ashtray size piece of granite with editing. Show us 30 to eighty ton. And how you separated it from the mine?

Blocks stacked one atop another require no maintenance........... So long as man does not purposely destroy them or a powerful earthquake causes structural failure - which the design and weight of the pyramids help to mitigate = they will sit there as always.

@@pavel9652 the result is ugly tho, can they make something beautiful like this ? i doubt

Not really. The largest/heaviest stones found in the Great Pyramid = are below the halfway point. Also the pyramid itself rests atop an elevated area of the plateau while the main quarry was a few hundred meters away to the south - slightly lower. So the natural rise leading up to the pyramid from the quarry area invariably was part of the ramp used to raise those blocks you refer to. Above the level of the King's Chamber the pyramid blocks become smaller as it rises in height. 🤔

@Art of War Sure, but we need more people to be brave and try reproducing the ancient artifacts before we know what's possible. Anybody can sit in their chair and claim "ancient hi tech civilization did it" or "it was done with bronze tools obviously", but very few are brave and diligent enough to put time and effort into experimental archaeology, to show to the rest of the planet what result we can and what we can not expect from particular methods, so that we can compare and contrast. I applaud the guys and a patreon of them.

There are very clear signs of sharp saws being used. We know this. It's a fact. Chisels here and there. But big cuts are saws. Now... bronze age... no diamonds . Not sure what kind of saw would work.

How would you expect one or two people to be able to perfectly replicate these carvings? This isn't their full time job however if it was and they were sufficiently trained and they practiced for long enough there is no reason why they couldn't accomplish something similar. The Egyptians were perfecting their crafts and methods for hundreds of years and they were doing so with large numbers of people so of course their results were better than what a couple of lads achieved.

@@markgallagher5908 that's a valid point but it doesn't diminish mine. They Still have to achieve far more comparable a result to make it any kind of sufficient evidence. Trying to say this proves how they were carved in such staggering detail is the exact same as saying that since we have seen people use building block and brick in constriction on smaller scales that there is no mystery as to how the transport of the large multihundred ton blocks the pyramids are made of were transported, and built with. Obviously they were carved transported on site, and laid one upon another until the project was complete. There's obviously some large technicalities that are being skipped over in such an explanation, and the same is true for thier crude carving vs the very detailed smooth finished relief products we see in actual hyroglyphs.

@@anthonypolonkay2681 They showed that the carving can be done with their method and the only thing missing is the quality of the work but giving the time constraints that's understandable. They didn't need to complete a Michelangelo level sculpture, they only needed to show how it can be done using their techniques. The building of the pyramids required workers with a diverse range of skill sets that no one person or small group of people could attain. If you need to be shown how every step in the pyramid construction works then you may be in for a long wait because we may never know precisely how it was all accomplished.

No one's saying it can't be done, everyone is saying the precision is the question. You're very, very confused, Kade.

Amazing in that everything you just stated = is wrong........ - remarkable. 🙄

Can you provide an example?

Which sculpture has ever been made of granite?

You don't think they had masters of their craft in ancient Egypt?

It is super easy, you just use a wooden drawing stencil. You draw the shape you are interested into, you cut the wood, and you chisel inside the hole: same exact drawing as many times as you need it.

Just to clear up a common misconception: Hardness - resistance to abrasion - is irrelevant to sculpting stone. Toughness - resistance to fracture - is what matters.

Lol

But it was magic flint. It magically cut millions of blocks and then when the magic flint was used up and throw into a pile, the flint piles magically disappeared.

Yes. Denys Stocks noted this in his articles.

5 million _granite_ blocks? Show me

Can i tell my idea of how polygonal stone work might have been achieved? I think it might sound stupid

I think they used wooden fittings first, cut the desired shape. Make sure it fits the area they want to set the rock on, then they would transfer those dimensions on to the the boulder, shape it. Then set the boulder down on top. That way there's no trial and error picking up and setting down massive stones over and over as some people say since they used wooden fittings first.

@@javiergarza8626 Now that make good sense. A giant pantograph copy machine. Just heard about hardened copper tools. I know they had tin exports worldwide, from Cornwall and Peru etc. Copper n tin make bronze. Did they have a version harder than steel?

@@alwayscensored6871 hold on, heating up stone to melt it will simply turn it into a glass like substance like obsidian. I never believed into the whole acid or heating up rock. But they might have had a liquid that turns Rock soft like clay enough to make cuts and shapes, but it's hard to belive. I'll send you a link for proof this video will make you wonder. It looks like they were using a saw with some liquid running down as they where cutting. I guess they lost control of the cut and how much of this mystery chemical they poured that it ran down the whole tomb. The tomb is obviously scraped since they messed up the cut

Better use some proper tools, unless you want to replicate the method. Modern tools are insanely fast, but still working with stone is relatively painfull.

Flint and granite are both primarily quartz, though granite also has softer materials such as feldspar and mica. I would argue that the tools would NOT wear down faster than the material they were working.

Feel free sometime to actually look at photos/videos of the pyramids. See whereby they are anything but "perfect". In fact a plausible description would be they are "stacked rubble" once surrounded by a layer of more carefully cut & polished stone blocks. All the rest however are crudely hewn chunks of limestone of assorted shapes and sizes dropped into place leaving gaps everywhere - and stuffed into the larger gaps are globs of gypsum mortar and small chunks of quarry rubble. So only a small number of the total blocks were more carefully cut and in some cases polished = those making up the inner chambers/corridors and the last outer layers of stone - a more carefully cut limestone one upon which the final layer of polished white Tura casing stones were stacked. Look in the search box above for the following video: Arnaldo Costa Stonemason Extraordinaire. See an old man with nothing more than a sledgehammer and some chisels rapidly split a granite block into 2 clean halves = that is how most of the blocks were obtained. Using chisels and wedges they split approximate chunks from the bedrock - limestone forms in layers like a cake - to lever those onto sleds and haul them away as is. They were not individually chiseling millions of blocks. 🤔 p.s. - the exposed western base of the Great Pyramid reveals a continuous ledge of limestone. So at least some of the inner core of the pyramid was existing hillside they leveled and built atop of. Some estimates place the amount of bedrock - the lower tunnels/chamber are cut from it - at upwards of ~23% of the total volume of the pyramid.

Yeah because they didn’t do it as a one off experiment but as a lifelong work that was passed on for hundreds of generations. Still plenty of those kind of stone masons around and they still make the most insane shit by hand.

You should go to their channel, they have a large membership that does all types of work, this was a quick demonstration to illustrate the cutting was possible. I watched one video where a very fine large bird shaped onyx vessel was created by one person from a block of that stone, it took her almost a year working an average of 4-5 hrs/day while she lived her normal life as well. This is why ancient material culture objects are generally not ubiquitous and were held in great value. It also demonstrates how the guild system and stratified society would have evolved in the great civilizations.

You're full of shit. They are not perfect and as far as polishing that is simply a matter of time and effort.

The goal of course was to demonstrate that one can use stone tools to shape stone. Man has been doing that for millennia. As to workforce = a very large workforce. Just as you see today with say fast food restaurants which are ubiquitous in a town because of course "demand" is constant = so in ancient Egypt demand for various objects was always there. So they created an entire economy dedicated to the creation of various things the people wanted - either for everyday use or to accommodate their religious beliefs vis a vis items needed for burial. Here is an example. Egyptologists have over the years unearthed underground caches of mummified animals as votive offerings and as burial times to be sold to people = literally millions of them. Think about the scale to create all that. It would have required a large workforce devoted to creating them + an even larger one devoted to supplying all the raw materials + and it would have spanned centuries. Then as now you got what you paid for. So Pharaohs or wealthy temples employed their own castes of craftsmen who would have had access to more resources and time yielding "museum quality" things for their patrons. On the flip side you might have had "community workshops" who turned out mass quantities of "knock-offs" for sale to the general public. So absolutely large workforces were in play here. 🤔

Why not? Beer recipes were insanely valuable and cherished, and a massive net of fish be it a lie or truth were absolutely stories people would want to write in their tombs and on monuments. People tend to apply modern values values where they don't belong and consider something like a big catch to be mundane but back then that could be a week of sustenance and a story that would be told for years and years.

@@mineerthegamer sure. Beer recipe. Ok. So there a pymimid with perfectly cut megalithic granite. No one knows how who. When it was made. But on the out side of these tombs. Is chicken scratch. These tombs are Precision, perfection. Versus some aHole with a sharp screw driver writing stuff.

@@Theshow1797 they're far from perfect or precision that's a myth spouted by people trying to sell tours or people who are blatantly ignoring years of scientific research and basic measurements of these supposedly perfect tombs. The Great Pyramid alone has a lot of flaws like sloped floors, cracked ceilings an unfinished room and the bricks below the surface were rough cut as we're the sides of the outer stone that can't be seen. There's even a section of one of the internal tunnels that has its floor broken likely due to the fact the pyramids building plan changed and was expanded near the end of construction.

@@scronyx precision cut is an insanely strong word for the boxes as they actually aren't like this crazy micron level of precision a lot of scamtubers keep trying to sell you on. The reason these boxes look so precise is because it's so hard to take off more stone than you need to with the methods they used but even they're still not that uniform. As for the megalithic statues those were very doable with the tools of the time, they had the lever and now we even know the egyptians likely had a rudimentary version of pullies, a 67 year old man named Wally Wallington on his own has moved megalithic stones using ancient tech like counter weights and levers and he's 67 and it's just a hobby. The people building those huge structures in Egypt were expert masons and stone carvers that practiced building these structures during the flood seasons when they had basically nothing else to do and they got really, really good at it. To say that they couldn't have created these structures with tools we know they had and used is honestly an insult to their skill and ingenuity.

@@scronyx There is proof that the great pyramide is much older? Great! Where? Where are the reliable sources for this proof, the falsifiable measurements? Because without those measurements, there is no proof whatsoever. Also, your claim that there are no videos about moving stones as large as used in the pyramide just by tools the ancient Egyptians possessed (proven by excavations): you are very wrong indeed. On Indonesia they move "megalithic" stones with ropes and wooden rollers and there exist many vids about it. Also there are dozend of vids of how the Russians moved a block that is much larger. We have many documents of how the Romans moved gigantic stones over hundreds of miles. Why not the Egyptians? I wont even loose words over the so called "precision-made objects" faketubers blabber about all day, minnerthegamer did say enough about it. If you make a revolutionary claim, you need revolutionary evidence. You have none. So your claim is refuted. This is called science.

If granite can be carved using a flint chisel then the result is only limited by the time, effort and skill employed by the artist. You're comparing a guy who is experimenting with the methods to the work of a master craftsman who probably spent his life time learning and honing his skill and was trained by the masters before him. Hardly comparable.

@@Leeside999 I don’t think that’s the case. Just because we can carve into granite with flint doesn’t mean it can produce a finish product like the Triads of Menkaure. I’ve watched people work granite with flint and other stones that can carve it and they never get close to the same level because it seems impossible: flint just can’t carve a straight line unfortunately. That part I believe, whatever culture carved the best of Egypts statues were certainly experts in masonry and likely stretches back to pre dynastic times for sure

@@AncientArchaeology369 It's the polishing that gives it the smooth finish. The flint just carves. There are examples of unfinished pre-polished rough statues found. _" flint just can’t carve a straight line "_ It's the skill of the artist that carves a straight line, not the tool. _"whatever culture carved the best of Egypts statues were certainly experts in masonry and likely stretches back to pre dynastic times for sure"_ And your evidence for this is?

@@Leeside999 Polishing gives a smoth finish but also highlights imperfections. Just as we see in this clip. Also while the Dynastic Egyptians may have used flat surfaces and abrasives to polish, no good theory has pointed out how the fingernails and intricate details shine like mirrors on statues such as the Triad Of Menkaure. Not with a tool like flint. Flint is more or less incapable of carving a straight line for any longer than a few cm. Even Bronze saws would fail to do this. There's plenty of evidence. The vases found at Sqara are made of granite and labeled Pre Dynatsic, yet there are the best quality of all in Ancient Egypt. On top of this the Dynastic Egyptians loved to carve into relics, we see various examples where grnaite statues were defaced with poor workmanship by middle kingdom peoples. But most obvious is the fact that the greatest granite works have no inscriptions on them. The Dynastic Egyptians wanted to leave their mark on everything, yet the greatest achievements have no reference to suggest they were made by Dynastic Egyptians

So now you are trolling these videos I see......... 🥱
