Thanks for all the compliments!

I hope you stay!

@@ancientsitesgirl 100% I always learn something new when you put out a video, great stuff keep it up!

Thank you!

Thank you! :)

Thanks

Your comments are the best! 💖💛💗💙💕 Thank you so much! ALL THESE COMPLIMENTS! ☺️😊

@@ancientsitesgirl I like the quality of work you do. And, I want to encourage you to continue and improve. Hopefully it'll be a source of income for you. This is got to be very expensive being a trooper on the ground. ALL THE BEST 😁

@@catman8965 I work hard, only on weekends I have time to edit. What I earn I spend on my travels... it is not easy but it gives me a lot of satisfaction!

Hey Cat Man, always a pleasure to come across your posts. I like Pomegranates to, they are one of those fruits that make you work for it as you have to de-seed them...but boy, are they lovely. So, next time that lonely pomegranate tree in Tucson Arizona fruits....go and get them !......peace to ya Cat Man.

@Darren AM Hey Darren, nice to hear from you. How have you been? I think Irina is going to release another video today. Too many people know about the pomegranate tree, and they snatched the fruit as soon as they can. The tree is (or was) located here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kHWHiut-vt8.html Hilton El Conquistador Resort I use to work there many years ago. Beautiful place to work. Nice place to stay if you can afford it - I never could. ALL THE BEST

Dzień dobry, dziękuję ✌

Thank you!

Thanks!

I have seen such crosses more than once on Byzantine ruins in Italy, Greece and Egypt. Thank you for watching!!!

Thanks!✌

thank you very much, I'm glad you like it, I will try not to disappoint in the future, I have big plans!

Another wonderful excursion to a little known site courtesy of Irena and her excellent cameraman. While the geopolymer and mould thesis is not one I would wish to discount, especially as it applies to Egypt, in reference to later Greek and Roman buildings of the type shown here I would venture that these architectural embellishments might have been more readily produced by means of the key cutter type pantograph, a simple enough device used to this day for architectural and sculpture restoration. Combined with synchronised turntables, reliant on a knowledge of basic gearing which the ancients are known to have possessed and requiring little motive force to operate, it could have been employed using water, wind, oxen or men as a power source. The gearing itself could have been fashioned from wood and left little trace, with only the cutting blade being of metal or flint. We know that the Romans made use of water mills for sawing masonry blocks and they could just as easily have turned out entablatures, pediments, pedestals, shafts, drums and capitals with minimal effort, however elaborate, as well as regular building blocks. The remains could have been milled into mosaic pieces. Figurative sculpture could also have been made this way. I do not advance this as a theory that applies to Egypt, only to Greece and Rome, but it is a system that was successfully resurrected in the eighteenth century for manufacturing wood and stonework.

@@vanderteufel Interesting in formation...but the Romans did not i nvent mechanical cutting of MARBLE until the third cebntury AD. They cut such enormous amounts that they used marble slabs to cover not only floors but also walls. So, you are back to an unknown means to shape stone, and since chiseling any and every highly complex shape into existence is not a realistic possibility, you have to assume the alternative...which was far simpler.

​@@redwoodcoast Thanks for the reply. If the best evidence that we have for Romans inventing mechanical cutting dates from the third century AD we now know that the Greeks and Romans had the means to do it much earlier: clockwork gearing. An extensive knowledge of clockwork gearing is seen in the Greco-Roman Antikythera mechanism from the first century BC/AD. Textual references are littered with accounts of its use: theatre machinery, rotating ceilings, retractable awnings, levitating and opening cages, animatronic animals. None of these could have been effected by geopolymer. The prolific numbers of ancient buildings which survive and the rapidity with which they were apparently built are comparable to the constructions of the Victorians who certainly used mechanical power. The pantograph lathe is a fairly simple mechanism. While there is a lack of evidence for pantograph lathe milling technology in ancient times it is more than counterbalanced by its (rather secretive) use in modern times, employing first waterwheel energy, then steam and finally electrical power. We are also a legacy civilisation. There is scant evidence supporting the manufacture of good quality geopolymer indistinguishable from stone in ancient or modern times. How to achieve the heat? Where are the moulds? It will still have required dressing. Even Roman concrete, vastly superior to our own concrete, betrays its tell tale signature. Why make it at all if you have the means to pour stone?

@@vanderteufel The answer is simply convenience. Concrete met all of their standards and rquirements and was easier to produce because it did not involve the ingredient of biopolymers. It's binding chemistry is and was strictly inorganic. But reconstituting hard stone can't employ the binding chemistry of calcium carbonate as the chief binder because of the nature of calcium. As for evidence of molds...wood rots and plaster dissovles due to rain. The evidence that remains is what we see with our own eyes. We see things that no chiseling can explain. Things that only molding can explain. The perfection of lines and edges in hard stone is not acchievable with copper-alloy tools. And some things are so narrow that chiseling could not produce them. There are other signs as well as I illuminated in "Six Signs of Casting in Ancient Egyptian Sculpture" sciencetheory.wordpress.com/2022/01/02/six-signs-of-casting-in-ancient-egyptian-sculpture/ As for mechanical stone cutting, the knowledge of gears is not sufficient when confronting the hardness of hard stone. Only *marble* was mechanically cut by the Romans eventually. Marble is merely a dense form of limestone... which can't compare in hardness to granite.

Thanks!

Merci!

Thanks for the feedback! :)

I dream of India!
