  1. Cairo museum has ancient Egyptian iron cog bits, also Arsenical copper (bronze) tools are as hard as mild steel.

  3. Being remembered for your achievements might have a rewarding feeling too

  4. The only features of the 'Great pyramid' which puzzle me are the amount of 'relieving granite slabs' over the Kings chamber. Perhaps designing on pain of death l might slip by a factor of 10 but JP Houdins suggestion of stress relief by elevation doesn't seem plausible, perhaps the relieving chambers had a more cultural purpose.

  5. Peruvian geopolymer power

  6. It is disrespectful to the skills of our ancestors.

  7. The patronising narrative is annoying so had to view in silence. I enjoyed the 'geologists battle dating sphinx 'video and subscribed. Derision is easy and I heard enough in a moment . Poor presentation of your site so have unsubscribed.

  8.  @stig  How can you be racist to aliens?

  9. Cut marks in pillar quarries on remnant stumps were not explained by the method described. Thanks though

  10. I recently read that Machu Pichu is not the correct name of this incredibly engineered place. Is this true in your opinion?

  11.  @TheBookofAquarius  A lot of the alignments, sacred geometry and it's situation within the worlds landmass are understood.

  12.  @TheBookofAquarius  l meant other people stand under various theories published for our potential enrichment. Standing under other peoples ideas has its hazards . Underestimating the intelligence of our ancestors is commonplace The geological dating by water erosion dates the sphinx enclosure to approximately 7.5 thousand years ago since which time the stars have moved, the ground hasn't and the Giza plateau was developed by a lot of manpower and skills That they set their finest minds for millennia to achieve this is fortunate and that they then buried some of their Kings with all their stuff is wierd but amazing. Tutankhamens burial surprised me with his extensive collection of walking sticks and boomerangs A short challenging life for the boy

  13. A Greek alarm clock not needing a wind up spring or escape mechanism is incredible but not absolute evidence of lost ancient high technology. This astounding artifact demonstrates levels of astronomical knowledge which may be a glimpse of what has been lost to time. Most would be recycled hopefully and one day we will be able to tell how much of the Antikythera was made using old parts.

  14. Excellent summation of current geological theory. Readers topographic work exact. Archaeologists just have to date when the first cobra was 'pinned ' atop a once finely carved face. The profile of which is far from the Caucasian boned pharos.

  15. My understanding of Anthropology stopped at phrenology. Could you inform me?

  16.  @WorldofAntiquity  Thankyou for sharing your thoughts, the pharonic lineage fascinates me.

  17. Bricklayers are skilled labourers . Mixing mortar may be described as semi-skilled. Undoubtedly polygonal masonry was more labour intensive and required a broader skillset. Great to hear a channel not proposing lost ancient high technology nonsense which is disrespectful of our ancestors.

  18. Explains why the South Pole was unmarked, nobody could find it.

  20.  @TheBookofAquarius  The Apis bull cult created the Serapeum, originally also holding a stele for each granite box. The steles are in museums and are ignored by tour guides and mystery makers For example one took 3 weeks to complete a distance etc. The boxes are not as accurate as claimed by some , roughly made then transported to the Serapeum for polishing Lost ancient high technology would be nice but manpower as boring as that may seem is what we know they had. Core drills, flywheel drills for pots are shown in hieroglyphs.

  21.  @TheBookofAquarius  The Egyptians elevated nothing 900 feet in the air

  22. The old 'blame Khufu' story wears thin, until l see a signed papyrus confession or contemporary hieroglyphic evidence this is circumstantial and would not hold up in a court of law. Herodotus was a great novelist relying on hearsay and conjecture.

  23.  @WorldofAntiquity  Circumstantial evidence, please sit down David.. My client, a Mr Khufu aka Cheops, occupation 2nd Pharaoh of the ancient Egyptian 4th dynasty could claim that not being an architect or structural engineer was merely presented with a piece of papyrus with a small triangle on it and things got out of hand. I'm not being disrespectful David, l am a retired english barrister just sharing a jest. Your work which exposes the 'lost ancient high technology' profiteers is essential in my opinion. Disrespecting the ingenuity and skills of our ancestors is not constructive for our evolution.
