Thanks! I looked up the temple and it is amazing, the people that built it must have dedicated their lives to it. It's impressive it's still around hundreds of years later. I couldn't find what material it was made with? Do you happen to know?

@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 you can find more interesting technology used from this channel by Researcher : Praveen Mohan. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5t2ddZ-2crZp4E.html More informations & lot of videos you can study from there.

@@BLOODYMISTYT my favourit channel, great mysteries...we used to have high tech societies in the past....but mainstream says we come from apes, lol

I recently saw that video. While I agree that some type of lathe must have been used in the creation of the site, I think that particular stone is a millstone. Probably used to grind flour from the dozens of different grains and seeds that would have sustained a vegetarian culture (for - in this case 500 years)...

I've watch that channel. It's more than incredible; it's incomprehendible. The temple looks like no other temple: is totally dark inside, totally out of place in every way. We must thank the Sire Mohan-who is a gift-but the mystery is even greater than it looks. I cannot escape the sensation that a lot of those places in India were built with the express purpose of wowing us now. They are a message from the deep past to our present. A subtle message left like a coded picture for us to unravel, to alert us to something strange, and something wonderful.

Yep fingers are good, even useful, not so good standing up and looking at them on the floor.

They usually do until they lose one

You'd have to try really hard to get those blades to cut your finger. They don't have sharp edges, they're just covered with tiny diamonds.

@@TrailChaser yes it'll grind or otherwise simply work off your fingers.

to be fair, it looks a lot more dangerous than it actually is when it's sped up like this. real time stone cutting is pretty slow going

Yeah except when they find it they will immediately known it was created on a lathe, if they smart enough…there are very obvious signs of a lath spun piece

They will also probably find remnants of his carbon cutting blades… leading them to some rather reasonable conclusions

The ancient "egyptians" made lathe-turned granite vases with 1/40th of an inch thickness and whose dimensions all correspond to the the Golden Ratio or Pi.

Definitely not easy or quick, but it turned out beautiful!

hahahha, no way with hand tools mate, no matter what they say...the marks speak for themsleves

they would of used something similar to this wouldn't be hard to make a lathe type of machine powered by water look at the old water mills

Thanks!!!

It's not as dangerous as it looks, the diamond blades I use won't cut your skin like wood saw blades.

Cool

Saludos y bendiciones! 🙏🙏🙏

Diamond disks are really dangerous, be careful mate!

@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 It was the water and electricity especially from the dremel that weirded me out. I'm scared to wet dry sand paper wood with a finishing sander. You have balls my friend...Bison balls.

Im seriously wondering how they did.

And the lingam in india

Without electric tools and no videos on how to do it.

Are you saying he's an alien? You might be right.

With modern tools and machines 😊

There were no slaves

They still work stone today in Asia using this method. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r99zlpea2rPNm4U.html

@@sharonjuniorchess that video doesn’t even compare also why listen to Russian trolls

@@manbearpig710 How exactly does it not compare? I would like to know what makes you such an expert that you can say that this method does not work and could not have been used then. It is no different to the practices carried out by stone workers in Asia today that have been passed down through the generations. Just because the people on the video are Russian does not make them trolls. You should have learnt that lesson from the now discredited fake narrative promoted by Hillary Clinton to deflect attention away from her illicit financial dealings with Russian oligarchs that were being exposed around the Uranium One scandal. Joe Biden does the same with China. Why do you need to stoop to their level and trying to discredit others. Surely you can put together a few words to do that rather than just casting unsubstantiated insults against people. At least these guys are exploring how the Egyptians (or whoever was before them) did it. Its a form of reverse engineering and it seems very credible to me.

@@nathandoucette8345 exactly ..they were all paid in beer

Thank you! I do believe you are first person to say that, most people think I should have smashed it and started over. It's not super functional with the natural edge, but it's cool to see the weathering zone of the rock

@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 oh most definitely, little touches like that add more character. Keep up the hard work!

I too plan on trying this wonderful technique. I think as long as try and keep most of water away from motors like how he has the plastic covering the worrisome parts we should be okay. If you haven't already tried @sarah Eisman I shall be the guinea pig and if I don't respond in a few days then I probably got electrocuted lol then you'll for sure know it wasn't a good idea 🤣 j/k safety is always priority 😁

Well, that and preventing silicosis

The water pump keeps the stone and diamond tools cool, and it keeps the dust down too. I'm not sure about every machine, there are definitely some cheap ones that wouldn't work for stone. The tools I used were over a thousand dollars combined so it's not super cheap to get into.

Cooling is important to keep everything from expanding and contracting. It's also important to keep the tool cool. Steel aspects of any tool head are hardened through a process called HEAT TREATMENT. When steel is hard it becomes very sensitive to heat. Temperatures in excess of 200C will alter the properties of your steel and above 400C, generally speaking, ruins the heat treated mechanical properties of the steel. Often diamond tips, or carbide is fused to these steel tools in order to work material harder than the steel itself.

I work with stone on a daily basis. I can tell you that unless you are working with soft stones dry cutting is next to impossible. The cutting surface is equal to the amount of abrasive material making contact with the stone, ie how many diamond points are actively scraping the rock. The amount of friction generated is enough to send steel red hot fairly quickly. Working with cultured marble with a quartz substrate I can tell you that it eats through a dewalt XP4 blade in a matter of days worth of cutting. When it is darker out you can see a steady stream of sparks emanating from the contact point as the diamonds heat the metal around them and abraid both the stone as well as the metal they are impregnated in. Without water cooling you would have to have a steady supply of blades to keep changing.

Id use a diamond cup wheel instead of a large cutting blade like he did. Slappping a huge disc like that on a small grinder(non variable speed) is a safety no-no. A very quick way to the ER, darwin award style.

Thanks! It was a long process learning and testing off camera that took over a year, but I'd say it was 40-60 working hours.

@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 40 to 60 hrs? Whoever carved that granite in pre Egyptian times must have had some incredible machinery.

@@whyattrmellon5269 indubitably!

@@whyattrmellon5269 there a video of a woman attempting something like this by hand took her 6 months and no where near the quality. The official narrative is beyond ridiculous. The Egyptians were far beyond our capabilities and understanding of life and materials.

​@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 your saw always makes me nervous, isn't their more.safer.ways you can cut stone, or just grind it down on an angle grinder, not to mention they make stone bits for the lathe.

Nah, it wasn't. The Egyptians were just more clever than me and you

​@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122no n-answer.

Thanks! Partially for filming and partially for the relative motion of the tool vs the stone. It was about 40 hours over the course of a couple months.

Bison Hill Stonecrafts hi , does the larger disc really lower your working time ? (Sorry for my english its not my native language) By the way.. this is a masterpiece !

I did have an incident recently where my thumb slipped and touched the blade. I felt obligated to make a video to educate people on how to safely work with diamond blades and stone. Please watch... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptOIq5tzm6i4d58.html

I would rather it didn't have the edge on it too, it would fit a full beer that way. But if you look at the beginning of the video the original stone has a depression in it that I couldn't avoid. I had already made up my mind on the shape so it was either make the cup 2 inches smaller or live with the "chip". It's kinda cool though because the whole weathered zone of the rock

There are sets on Ebay or Amazon for pretty cheap that work good, just make sure you use water with them. Get a more aggressive grit (40 or 60 grit) to take more stone away faster too

It's actually a wood lathe, I haven't played with super thin material but I did break some marble that was around 2 inches thick. Some rocks have cracks naturally running through them so you have to watch out for those.

Don’t forget to leave material on the side for handles…. How the Egyptians did this with primitive sticks and rocks is amazing 😅😂😂… The Egyptians were so advanced it’s mind blowing 🤯

The problem with quartz is that it tends to contain many internal fractures. Finding a piece of unfractured rose quartz of sufficient size would be difficult and expensive. It's also harder and more brittle than granite and thus more difficult to work. A chunk of agate would work, if you have a great deal of patience and time. Large chunks of agate are available, depending on where it's from, for instance Brazilian agate is relatively cheap.

@@r.awilliams9815 don't you know all you need is some good Ol Egyptian vibrations?

Craftsmen DO NOT leave their tools behind, when they are done, they pick them up and move on to somewhere else, same goes for today, and also was the case in the ancient world!

I tried epoxy in another project and thought it turned out cool, but I wanted to leave the edge natural on this one just cause I was feeling it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecqgbLVhtdLbink.html

I couldn't if I tried. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptOIq5tzm6i4d58.html

I bet it is but I'll play it safe and wash it by hand for a while haha

Diamond coated tools should work and last a long time, make sure you are using water to cool them off though

According to mainstream academia all you need is another stone and a bronze chisel, and you can make polished granite vessels perfectly symmetrical and less than 0.03 inches thick. Easy!

@BKNY FINEST ha same types of videos brought you here as me. While they must have had some tools we haven't found yet, how do you feel about the claim that we can't create precise granite turnings today? This guy did it with a lathe and some regular old hand tools

@BKNY FINEST yea its crazy for sure. It may not be something extra spectacular either, just lost lathes and other mechanical machines from a pre-dynastic era that they inherited. Not sure why we haven't found any of that stuff though

I do believe lathes are the scariest thing in any given shop. I'd love to work on one, but I can barely butter bread without cutting myself. I'd get scared I'd catch clothes in it then go in naked and catch something worse than a cold.

You can buy diamond tools online on Amazon or Ebay. They aren't anything special and are relatively cheap. I'd start with a Dremel and some diamond grinding burrs on some stones you find in your area. Good Luck!

Yes, the difference is that you'd have to grind away ALL the granite inside the cup then. It may seem like a ton of work to change the tools, but in realtime it is much faster because the grinding time is greatly reduced.

@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 Ok. Thanks for reply. Was just curious if the diamond will cut that way, because I've no equipment to try it by myself so..

Partially for filming and partially to keep the water from spraying all over me

Thanks! You actually hit the two things I spent the most time thinking about how to make work! I have it on my list to take a single quartz crystal and make a shot glass but haven't had the time yet. Thanks for the sub!

yes, that was crazy. also rather impressive strength. Lots of rock holding jigs, most use some type of toe clamp type arrangement. My saw is similar, but the rock is held to the table & I push it just like you would with a tile on the table. a lead screw lets me slide it over in a controlled manor, ive made a lot of coasters that way.

HAIR LINE FRACTURE

People have reproduced vessels using tools/ methods available to the Egyptians. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mqljjcJ1p9SnoGw.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9difqqCxtDKcaM.html I call BS on the 3 thou tolerance though, I've yet to see someone actually measure any of the Egyptian vessels with a measurement device capable of resolution down to thousandths of an inch.

​@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122Why dont you measure yours? A dial is only like 20$..

I would rather it didn't have the edge on it too, it would fit a full beer that way. But if you look at the beginning of the video the original stone has a depression in it that I couldn't avoid. I had already made up my mind on the shape so it was either make the cup 2 inches smaller or live with the "chip". It's kinda cool though because the weathered zone of the stone is less than 1/8" thick before it is back to the untouched virgin rock.

@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 maybe cast clear resin to give it the featutre and make it functional?

With the blue sandpaper in the video, I just pressed it against the bottom. It's not nearly as polished as the outside but it's good enough.

It's just a standard wood lathe, you can use pretty much any lathe but the water and sludge will wreck it quickly.

@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 ok, thanks For the information👍👍🙏

Yeah, I didn't lay it out perfectly. I would have needed to make it way smaller to get rid of the natural edge. You can see at the beginning when I put the chalk on the stone that there is a divot in the one side that edged up being the missing chunk.

@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 its still pretty cool. Just sucks you put so much time and effort into it and ended up having a big flaw

@@kindredspiritzz66 I truthfully don't mind the look of it, it's the natural edge of the stone so it's kind of cool that it's unfinished. But it only holds about 10 oz now too so I have to take a couple sips of beer before pouring the rest in haha

@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 I get it. Sometimes we work with what we've got, and sometimes a defect can become a feature of interest (like Marylyn Monroe's beauty mark). I do find the depth of weathering interesting. I suppose this is of geological interest because it might help predict things like how long it takes for granite to turn into sand and clay.

Not as dangerous as it looks, the diamond saws I used won't cut skin
