Aswan Quarry #3 "Scoop Marks" and Stone Age Granite Quarrying 

🤡🤦🏾‍♂️

I have seen those kind of scoop marks in ice cream , So it would seem we could conclude the stone was ice cream at one time . And the fact ice cream does melt ... so that would mean we could date those scoop marks to when ice covered that latitude . I luv easy peasy archaeological work ... so gratifying ;)

The hell of it is, that if you think about it, the "scoop marks" are indicative of a LESS advanced civilization, as are the megalithic blocks themselves. MORE advanced civilizations built with bricks, not stones. We see this reflected in biblical writings about the tower of Babel which specifies they used stones INSTEAD of bricks, tar INSTEAD of mortar. This was written much, much later than most people suppose, when the writers understood that PROPER building techniques involved the use of bricks and mortar. Pyramidiots (mainstream) are stuck in a paradigm where they can neither acknowledge the incredible feats of the megalithic builders NOR the transparently obvious fact that megalithic construction is simply a matter of practicality. There's SO very much effort required to dig a block of stone from a quarry, yet still much more effort to turn it into smaller more manageable stones. Acknowledging the technical difficulties of quarrying, transporting, and shaping megalithic stones is somehow "racist", while pointing out that doing so is a demonstration of primitive (but extremely motivated) building is also somehow "racist". Being members of academia, the one charge they absolutely cannot withstand is "racism", so they're stuck with promoting this ridiculous paradigm that megalithic building techniques are unremarkable and need not be explained. Think about it. Not one explorer has ever found a culture in the midst of a megalithic building project. Pay attention to the claims of the mainstream archaeologists. How often do they use the term "racist" or some derivative to use against their detractors?

Obviously workers fit in those holes fine or else how could they clear debris… the rounded corners are hard to explain but a lot of the site has heavy weathering.

I reply with you are being ridiculous. They are a series of trenches. Tool and tool marks match. If you read the linked papers you’ll see all the other evidence.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded Maybe he is a stone mason!

If you've ever worked in deep sea oil drilling you wouldn't be impressed at all with 100k slaves digging up stones in the desert. I'm being facetious but humans do far more bad ass things now days. Our conversation even being possible is one of them. 😂

I have another episode on Aswan that shows where the canals were made to connect the obelisks with the river. There is one about 50 to 100 metres or so to the west of the unfinished obelisk. On that side the ground quickly tapers down so removing that stone would allow for straight shot to the canal. The base of the raft assembled in dry season and obelisk dragged into it the the sides built around. When the flood arrives float it out. Alternatively rather than “lift” it it could be raised up by see sawing it side to side and insert sand or timber each time. Similar to how Wally Wallington raised his block. I recently posted a collection of videos showing large stones being moved. Having worked in lifting and rigging it is best practice to never “lift” something unless necessary. Move it up a ramp or with jacks but avoid lifting it off the ground as much as you can.

In regards to cutting I have samples of it and with straight blade I created circular saw looking cuts because the ends of the blades wear out faster, turning it into a curved blade. Also because you are using wet sand it isn’t like sawing wood where you can blow away the sawdust, it’s quite easy to miss the mark and go too far, or have the ends of a long blade not follow your jig. Those those end cuts being like a circular saw. Try a piece of soft wood and rub a piece of steel back and forth. The middle will be deeper leaving the profile of a circular saw. Especially with stone the ends of a cut will have similar profile.

I'm not a geologist,so you probably know better than me. If you looked at the cracks on the obelisk did you notice cracks on the ground around away from the obelisk, to come to that assumption? Everytime I cut a long straight line on wood, using a circular saw, I would use a straight jig clamped to the wood . I could cut it with my eyes closed, I just kept pushing saw to the jig If the Egyptians had fast cutting technology, they would of used something like that. The Egyptians were not stupid

I'm totally unqualified, except digging in various gardens. The cliff face might not have the best stone. Might be different grade of stone. Might be cracks extending back from the cliff face. Either way the quarry is where the better stone is. Not sure why they wouldn't clear cut the cliff face back to the quarry - might be that each time they think "This'll be the last obelisk we do here, so it's not worth excavating all that rock for just one obelisk". You see that in a lot of (lack of) capital investment. Would you have to lift an obelisk into a boat? Would a raft of timber transverse to the obelisk be sufficient, or even get the obelisk onto a wood platform on the river bank, built the platform up into a basic hull to be towed by other boats, then excavate the river bank until the raft/hull floats off.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded so much BS in your video.. !

This is a video from a stone mason who has done so many videos showing how easy it is to do this Egyptian stone work with the tools that we know they used from what has been dug up and is in the Cairo museums…… it’s very straightforward and simple to do….. people often say why didn’t they evolve their tools over a thousand years etc…. Answer is … why when what you have works….. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_fIigpabcz4.htmlsi=dsb2UwJUMg2fAKCV

Was it really "fun" to imagine the total failure of the scientific method? Was it really "fun" to imagine tens of thousands of scientists as conspiratorial liars and con men? Was it really "fun" to listen to the incomprehensible lies and sales pitches of the scumbags who sell that garbage?

@@stormwater23 I think you two might be on the same side. You might want to reread his comment.

✌️✌️

@@rosifervincent9481 Indeed, thank you

It is high technology being used

Cutting wouldn’t take very long… they could probably clear that ditch around the obelisk in just a few months period.

Precisely. What did Petrie find whilst excavating the obelisk in Aswan?

Thanks. I’d reckon they had it worked it, my older shorter feeble minded brother suggested maybe they even had the gang tuned in and timed their strikes. Singing work songs to the tune. Maybe even to make the work faster if the vibrations helped force micro fractures through the stone?

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_fIigpabcz4.htmlsi=dsb2UwJUMg2fAKCV

It can and was. You can see the results all over Egypt. Ash found in the quarry gave them a clue as to how. They heated up the granite and this made it extremely brittle. So with their “pounding stones” they could excavate Centimeters per minute rather than millimeters.

We built it to stop the impact of hundreds of miles wide metres entering plants orbit but something happened. Some people didn't want to stop the reset and sabotage sabotage was afoot on that day.. As the melted statues show signs of massive heat rays hitting the giant statues exsploding and melting in the granite. The so called "kings chamber" is walled on all sides with 20ton rose granit blocks and it's been pushed back in all directions by about 3feet! What force is needed to do that?. Something went wrong and the pirramid was plugged up. So we have shafts with blocks blocking the exit points. Blocks have two melted cables hanging down from the heat rays power. May be things would have different if that block wasn't there.

There should be evidence in their bones.

Cheers

Thanks Big fan of Mike Haduck channel. Will eventually get around to compiling it but have collected a lot of old masonry videos and photos. Comparing to traditional masons still practicing. Various tool marks and techniques.

Thats a good find, tho the marks of the antient times are larger, but very similar looking... It would imply also it was done way faster then previously thought, with bigger tools too. Still in stone carving video its done working around the edges, where the stone is weaker. Doing that on floor would be harder. This is the best explanation so far, id really like to see it more investigated.

Is it possible that the edges of the scoop marks at the Obelisk have been soften with age? I can imagine water or sand driven by the wind?

Lots of experience at being lazy, and whenever I could I’d get paid for output rather than by the hour.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded interesting theory, but wouldn't they have to extend the rope all the time

@@xg835 not that often, there’s sideways movement before adjusting, but if you loop the rope over the top like a pulley rather than tie it off, and adjust by letting rope out without having to untie a knot or even stand up.

The waste itself is a useless resource. The dust/sand/gravel good for polishing . The old timers didn’t waste anything. The quartz could have many uses. I forget exact name at the moment but the temple carved down into the rock. They would sell rubble blocks for statuettes so shrines in surrounding my area could be linked to the temple. Even in old black and white pics of quarries they would screen the waste into different sizes and on sell for industry.

😂 VB fixes everything My dad was a mechanic, trained in the old country on farm equipment. With a proper screw driver, shifter and hammer he could fix about almost anything. Add some old wire and electrical tape he could have started his own space program I reckon. Now it’s about replacing parts with a special tool that only works on those parts. The scariest thing are the harvesters and tractors that need software updates. Bad enough we are moving away from repair / fix culture but that it’s becoming built in a s just terrifying. If you can’t fix it then you don’t own it.

Peter Ranken I guess that explains why so many people are eager to believe that humans could not have accomplished these things in the past. We have it so easy nowadays with our technology that the idea of doing such labor seems unbelievable.

People as you allude to fail to account for the passage of time. As you reference the auto industry. When Ford released his Model T it would be years before another model was made. Today we see auto manufacturers crank out new model cars every few years - sometimes every year = how?? Answer: by applying past technologies and lessons learned. So people attempting to rationalize "incredulity" - which is what pseudoscience/history is really all about - assume these objects began from scratch. The truth however is tombs or burial objects - or even objects of veneration such as statues - were being fabricated because of Egyptian religious beliefs. Hence there was a large economy built upon fabricating these things = one which built upon past techniques. So by the time of the New Kingdom when many of these "advanced" objects were created Egyptian craftsmen were using tools and techniques more than a millennia in development. Thus like you they had already "worked out the shortcuts" to creating things. On a side note. Egyptian society vis a vis the craftsmen might be viewed if you will as a socialist one. These artisans who created for the Pharaohs were given room and board as payment. Thus they had a house provided and a regular stipend of food and beer = allowing them to focus entirely upon their work. These were not random artisans working from their proverbial garages. lol! p.s. - many things craftsmen today do are based upon ancient concepts. All that changed is we developed newer tools to make it easier on ourselves.

@@varyolla435 Technique, Sone hedge row’s assembled in the US 200 years ago, Many had no idea how to stack properly, how they prepared the ground, what size and shape placed where, angle and overhang, fill stones and proper distances of tie in stones etc. All very simple once shown how to from a few English that still built and maintained their own

Cheers

Hitting granite with a steel tool like a monkey? Sorry but they were using pounders. This type of work was what people did, not so long ago people had to churn their own milk. No way, people weren’t churning milk like monkeys!!! Next I’ll tell you giant trees were cut down with an axe . Imagine using an axe like some sort of monkey. Civilised advanced people like yourself use chain saws. Sorry but you have no idea of how most people throughout history have laboured.

Dolomites were just cheap mass produced hammers

If you think they cleared every granite block that way you are crazy… they cut plenty of big rocks with sheering and not digging trenches. So why would they use a slow method of throwing.

Round pounders were just cheap mass produced hammers.

👍 rants are good. Check out Per Storemyr. He’s published a lot of fire setting especially fire setting and chert. I don’t think he has done any knapping though. I have some demo’s of fire setting on my experiments playlist. I wasn’t sure at the time but one of the stones I used was dolerite. It broke up easily with firesetting but unlike the granites it wouldn’t smash up into an abrasive dust. Jeez it’s tough stuff , I used the pieces as stone hammers-picks. Even after multiple rounds in camp fire it’s still hard as it gets. No wonder they were using it back then, even with steel as an option dolerite wouldn’t be a bad choice since it’s so freely available right there at the quarry itself. I do have some low grade flint pebbles and tried a little carving test on granite. It was cool to see it flake off and self sharpen in that way. Given we were using stone for thousands, tens of thousands, of years I wonder if it hasn’t built itself into our genetic memory in some sort of way. Until I began experimenting and learning by experience I never really appreciated stone. If only more of the people took it up and tried even for a few hours rather than getting their opinions from “lost technology”? I hope one day to be able to arrange a larger set of experiments in granite country.

Thanks ✌️

Experiments with flint tools to make hieroglyphs , relief carvings work great. The tool keeps a sharp point, self sharpening. Using the Egyptian stone masons drill I get 420 rpm and 15 mm an hour. Though the stone tools found there and elsewhere are sharp cornered. The rounded ones are used, initially the angular one were ignored and discarded. Not as good as steel but stone tools work great.

You seem to overlook a critical variable = "dating". Also as alluded to these were not random things being fabricated. This was actually a huge industry in ancient Egypt whereby the technology and skill set was comprehensive and generational being passed along and improved upon continuously. Egyptologists have unearthed underground caches around Saqqara which contained mummified animals for offerings and as burial items - literally millions of them. That shows whereby there was a huge economy built around the fabrication of items for both the Pharaohs as well as everyday folks and which likely employed many tens of thousands of people throughout Egypt. Tutankhamun's death mask contained semi-precious stones which sourced from as far away as India and Afghanistan. Thus the Egyptians clearly had access to trade goods. So while Egypt did not smelt iron until the Persian period = they traded with those who did. Iron smelting goes back to the Mesopotamian and Indus Valley civilizations pre-2000 BC. So Egypt might not have made their own iron tools but it is still plausible they had access to at least some during the New Kingdom period - when you see those nicely carved obelisks etc. - though they likely would have been expensive and tightly controlled. Scribe accounts from Deir el-Medina show whereby workmen in the Valley of the Kings used to have their copper tools weighed to prevent pilferage of broken bits as copper was "a strategic resource" and access to it was limited. Anyways as noted quarries are in continuous operation fabricating things over centuries. This means they would have at any given time partially quarried stone or even completed items on hand. Hatshepsut's obelisk was recorded to have been completed in about ~7-8 months. As metal tools were tightly controlled - whereas gneiss stone would be plentiful - then to quarry basic shapes it would be easier and more cost effective for the workforce to use gneiss stone tools along with fire. There is evidence of fire use at Aswan to first soften the bedrock before hammering through it along natural seams using dolerite. Then once an obelisk is mostly fashioned and smoothed using flat blocks and abrasives = then the master craftsmen who used metal tools could go to work carving upon it.

@@varyolla435 Good response. I’m not sure why nobody has pushed this idea harder. Use fire for the rough removal then get your masons to smash it with pounders until you reach a closer stage. It really doesn’t make sense to pound your way to a concave depression to make it easier to remove the ridges. Has anyone done an experiment comparing random pounding with scooped pounding? That would be a great way to settle this point.

@@wompbozer3939 Yes. Egyptologist Adel Kelany - who specializes in geo-archeology and Egyptian stone quarries - conducted at experiment in the past. He compared workers pounding the granite alone using dolerite against doing the same after lining an area with mudbrick and building a fire in that space to then quench it. Heating the bedrock first resulted in the workers being able to pound through it much more quickly compared to simply hammering upon the stone. The test was created based upon what they saw. At Aswan along nature seams in the granite there was the remains of mudbrick and charcoal. So that is evidence they used fire to quarry through the bedrock to obtain basic shapes which could then be finished using other tools and polishing.

@@varyolla435 Is there a video or any documentation we could find about it?

The Obelisk is laying at an angle, perhaps intentionally for the reason to move it easier? So maybe sand was used to raise heavy objects? If one side is tilted, maybe sand can be applied and be removed back and forth until the heavy object is raised?

Too true. Add up all the time people spend playing video games or posting pictures of their meals. Add up how many months and years maybe they spend sitting in traffic to get to the office. But building something that will last for thousands of years has to be finished before lunch break to make sense? Thinking that as they drive a long a road that was originally cut through a mountain forest with people uses mules and pick axes. Or crossing a bridge that took years and several lives to build.

And the fun part is; the Chinese wall taking 2300 years to construct doesn’t seem to bother these people 😂

I say you all miss the bigger point. They had to move it.... And stand it up.

Thanks for watching. I was always fascinating with stone masonry and last few years it’s been a big thing for me. Too old to retrain but have lots of fun with experiments using “primitive techniques and tools” on granite. At the very least I got a taste of the mindset needed, patience. At first I was checking every few minutes to see how much I had cut, drilled or polished. Very frustrating. Though once I got into it, kept at it and stopped looking for instant results it started making sense. Almost like a meditation, improve your technique to maximise efficiency. Let the tool do the work rather than try and force it so as not to get exhausted. On my phone now but I have a pile of old photos and footage I can link to you. Let me know if you’re interested.

As Aswan quarry along natural seams in the bedrock Egyptologists have found the remains of mud brick and charcoal. They were lining an area with brick and building fires to soften the stone as you noted followed by their pounding through it more easily using dolerite. As to time frame. As I recall documentation from the period of Hatshepsut who was big on obelisks indicates they could fashion one in ~8 months or so. Their motivation was quite simply they were "salary workers" who had stable employment - though difficult to be sure - and who received food/beer/housing in exchange for plying their skills. Further it appears those skills were generational being passed down and improved upon. So sons likely followed their fathers in the craft as you still see today. Despite any hardships these workers likely enjoyed a life which was still above that of the average Egyptian worker. It appears there were 3 branches of what was an industry which spanned Egypt. You had the Pharaonic craftsmen who obviously worked for the Pharaohs digging tombs or building temples - or even making their clothes or jewelry etc.. There is evidence of people also working for the temples - read the priest caste. By the New Kingdom coincidentally tax records indicate the priests were the largest landowners in Egypt. Finally you likely had your community workers who fabricated items for use by the average Egyptian. You see in mummification as an example differing levels of quality whereby wealthy people were well done using quality materials - and then you see the "budget plan" ones. Then as now you got what you paid for.

And maybe in combination with acid, as `ancient architects` here on YT discuss it ? A friend of mine is a chemical university-degree... I made him `heat` today... and his ignition was nice to see :) He starts to work !

@@GermanGreetings Cool. Though I have doubts on that, my recent upload was on the origins of the stone softening legends, past 2 of that will be a follow up looking at the red acidic mud idea and other points that are mentioned in that paper. Though acid is used to etch stone, so it could be possible, I will bring up certain practical issues in getting stones to fit so perfectly with that method. Also what is described as "vitrified" stone and the sources for those claims. SPOILER: it's the Erik von Daniken crowd and people looking for Atlantis. Though will cover all that in detail in the video. cheers

Cheers. Appreciatec

@@SacredGeometryDecoded this video was garbage go there and try pounding it out with one of them stones

@@SacredGeometryDecoded also if they used fired where are the scorch marks? there is stone where the melted the stone looks nothing like this

@@bobray7790 I have several of my own and other examples of fire setting on RU-vid. There are no scorch marks. The spot can be brushed off. Virtually impossible to tell the difference by eye. Melted granite turns into obsidian (glass)

@@SacredGeometryDecoded go there and pound out a hole then with one of them stones. also you do realize scoop marks are at all these sites world wide? all them pillowed stones are scoop marks. so your saying they did this by heating up the stone and pounding on it? world wide? at sites with zero pounding stones?

Thank you for watching

Would cut the rope far too often? The scoops down the wall and under are long continuous trench like. On the horizontal they are squarish. The undercut not from the famous unfinished but from another close by.

LOL good one

🤣🤦

@@varyolla435 Looks like you've never heard of a water wheel or a windmill.

@@machinebeard1639 Sure...... = just not in ancient Egypt..... So why stop there since you are clearly making it up = why not simply give them nuclear power while you are at it.

@@varyolla435 Sure, bronze age technology and nuclear power are the same thing.

Thank you

@@SacredGeometryDecoded I'm sure you've watched unchartered-x's video on the unfinished obelisk and his theory on the scoop marks. In fairness, his production quality is very impressive but christ he talks some bullshit. His claims are outrageous. He obviously knows very little about working with stone.

Was the geologist illiterate?

Perhaps they had several different scoop tools? Much like a modern backhoe has different size buckets

I show how to easily extend the reach including counter weighted end to keep it level. Very simple solution. Nike river vss as lley is fertile snd they ran ovens for over two millennia. Orchards and such. Also chaff snd dung fires. As I hee as he shown in demos myself a small fire for short time would do it. The same fires could be used for other purposes by workers. Scorch marks would be long removed by weathering. As papers linked testify there is ample evidence of fire setting being used across the quarry. As well as the work of per storemyr and fire setting being used across the world in ancient quarries.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded The angle from the overhang does not allow an ANGLE that can reach further than a few feet at most. Physics disagrees with you.

@@michael4250 do you practice to be so obtuse and lacking in basic problem solving? Stop making up fantasy problems to protect your belief system of “impossible”. With a counter weight on one side you could make the ram longer than any tree. It’s basic physics and a common solution so take your perversion of physics and problem solving and put it where the sun doesn’t shine. I am beyond bantering with useless nutters like yourself who need a mechanic to change the radio station.

Any old quarry had lots of people shoulder to shoulder with dust and chips flying. If they use steel hand tools no one notices but for some reason using stone tools makes it unthinkable?

@@SacredGeometryDecoded I’d argue with more sophisticated tools (such as iron), you’d need less people so shoulder to shoulder wouldn’t have been an issue later on. Hard to imagine you’d get enough leverage to get underneath that massive obelisk with pounders as well, where we see those weird scoops funnel into a groove. How do we explain that? Also those boor holes to test the granite…how tf did they do that with pounders? Also, they have an area where you can use pounders and people have been going to town on that stone for at least a century and I don’t see anything resembling a scoop mark. For the record, I don’t think it was aliens or magic/magnets but I also believe the tools need to be proportionate to the work that needs to be done.

All explained in the video Cory. Though your silliness has reached new depths such as that people couldn’t follow a demarcation line. I think you’ll find people are excellent at that type of thing in the real world. People are very very fussy about that type of thing you would have discovered if you had ever worked a day in your life. I imagine a lot of people will think you are a sock puppet made by me to make LAHT look bad.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded I guess my expectations were too high that you could have any type of civil discourse. As they say, when someone shows you who they are, you should listen. It would have saved me 1 minute writing my comment. 1. It's not explained in the video, hence my question. But since you can't answer it, that tells everyone what they need to know. 2. Nice ad hominem. It works better when you at least know the person. But that's par for the course for you. 3. The only "sock puppet" is you. You had the chance to actually answer two simple questions yet can't. Sock puppet? lol. I have to admit, I did give a little laugh at that one.

@@coryCuc all in the video Cory. There’s a section on the marks (two scoops) demarcating area each worker assigned as well as progress marks. Also several related papers linked in description by those who’ve studied in detail. You are allowed to do further reading, sort of the point in adding them. The civil discourse ship sailed a long time ago. Have you replicated my faked experiments yet to prove I am a fraud?

@@SacredGeometryDecoded It's not in the video my guy lol. THAT'S the point. "Demarcating" people to an assigned spot DOES. NOT. GIVE. YOU. EQUALLY DISTANCED. GROOVES. Put 10 kids in a sand box and have them scoop out 5 shovels of sand and then measure the distances between the two. Guess what? They're not going to be the same. I mean, if you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you. I'll just be here to give any passers by a dose of reality should they be pulled in by your nonsensical theories. It's the least I can do. P.S. I never said your experiments were "fake." You know my posts on your page better than I do apparently, so it would be easy to find where I said your experiments were fake. Secondly, I have yet to see you do an experiment that even remotely resembles the magnitude or complexity of the blocks/structures/sculptures/statues we see. I've long ago given up holding my breath.

@@coryCuc kids in the sand box is very telling. Adults doing work and following string lines or paint marks, people bicker over invisible line down the middle of a desk. Even kids can make a goal line by using two distant trees and quibble over an inch if they crossed the line. Tennis players including amateurs point to marks about millimetres over the line. Not only can humans do that it’s a strong instinct. Children who can’t colour inside the lines are considered slow developers. I imported a clip showing just what you said isn’t there Cory. Then broke down the clip with stills. Linked the original in the description. You have the LAHT blindness. Yes you did call them faked. It’s why I remember you so well.

Matt is still on the dark side. Friends with Brien and Ben.

@@TheMoneypresident Maybe, maybe not. I think that Matt is an educated man, that can make his own conclusions of given data, since he's a rock-enthusiast by trade.

Would be happy to do it. The fewer people believing in “it’s impossible” can only be a good thing. I missed it in the live chat but David Morley interested in getting a group together. Even if only a 2 week thing, tour of Egypt with some experiments with the group volunteering would be awesome. Though I would guess there’s be a lot of important calls from home to take once the first hour of fun wears off in that heat. Grandma always gets sick when there’s labour to be done. I knew one fella that had at least 3 grandmas die in one year alone.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded Matt was mentioned at trips to egypt, you know what kind, last year. I do think that Matt as a geologist can benefit from your hands-on tests, as you can on his understanding of academic resources.

@@TheMoneypresident Matt has been putting logic above all the latest months that I have been watching him. He is doing serious videos now compared to the ones he did in the beginning. Definitely many light years away from Brien and the rest of the gang.

Well if you’d and so many others who don’t buy it might consider investing the time and money. Compare angular pounders with steel tools. You’ll find you won’t be buying that iron tools work after that. You only need make one “scoop” in reality. Try it with fire setting and see how fast it works. If you don’t buy this then you should be doubting quarrying with steel as well.

Thanks. I forget the details but of the evidence but the general thinking is now the smaller obelisk began later times, Roman era i do believe but the details are hazy. World of Antiquity channel worth looking up, he interviews Adel Kelany who has done a lot of work on Egyptian quarries and especially Aswan.

Links in description and throughout the other episodes. It can be done much quicker with fire setting. Saying it is impossible is without evidence and outside of reality. You haven’t watched or followed the sources I provided. Nor have you ever tried the smallest scale experiment. I have and did as have other people. It’s impossible to believe it’s impossible with a basic knowledge of the research, or with practical experimentation. Though since you are so sure how long would it take to carve a couple parallel trenches to that depth?

thanks ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XY6SUTPV018.html a playlist of my experimets with primitive tools such as copper and stone tools on granite, includes detailed how to videos on how to cut, drill and polish granite including using fire setting experiments that go into how to make your polishing paste. Polishing to mirror finish with a surface roughness of less than 1.5 microns. I could have done better but only made a small amount of the fine grit polishing paste. Don't believe 1% of what you might have heard. These are cheap, easy and fast to do replicating all the "impossible" without lost high ancient diamond technology. Including their presence of these tools and techniques in the historical record. Very soon will begin using these individual processes to make replica artefacts. I already have an instructional on making fine granite rings. Vases and sarcopahgi soon to come. Also I have many videos showing how the claims of precision and such are totally untrue since measurements have been taken, and even with only high res photography it is easy to confirm through distorted reflections and such that they are no more precise than what standard artisan stone masons have been doing throughout time.

"Dating". To ascribe a given technology to something it is paramount you place it in the proper context. Ancient Egypt directly existed for ~2,500 years and then its culture continued on into the Roman period before it finally disappeared. Ancient Egyptian sites were routinely added to and/or cannibalized for raw material to build other things. So ask yourself something. Would a Pharaoh or later Vizier allow for say a temple built out of blocks with holes or saw marks cut into them?? Answer: no = unless recycled stone was being used owing to an inability to get new stone from the quarry and/or cost. So this means these markings you describe plausibly might have occurred at a later date when iron/steel tools were commonplace. Too many simply assume it had to be early kingdom bronze - which can do it as noted. Place the object in the correct period = then determine what tools were in use then.

Aswan is a granite quarry. Granite is formed by magma under pressure slowly (very slowly) cooling to create a unique crystal structure. There is no mistaking granite and such from waterglass.

I checked meta AI wich confirmed my theory

The regular scoop mark pattern is due to the cutting spacing of the blocks to be cut out.

A wide range of sources: dried dung, driftwood from the sea and from upriver in the Nile, desert shrub like trees like acacia, wheat straw, trees growing along the nile and in oasis not suitable for carpentry, branches and scraps from trees used for carpentry, etc. See for example: Smith. 2018. Fuel for thought: Archaeobotanical evidence of the use of alternatives to wood fuel in late antique north Africa. Journal of Mediteranean Archaeology. Bouchard et al. 2018. Fuelwood and wood supplies in the eastern desert of egypt during Roman times.

@@rockysexton8720 And what percentage of the country's fuel supplies would be used to heat rock? What amount of resources would be consumed in gathering fuel to heat rock? How far afield would they have to roam in order to insure delivery of a sufficient amount of fuel? Seems like no one wants to admit the difficulties inherent with any endeavor. They just sort of assume that whatever supplies would be needed are just there, the people to perform the labor are just there, the waste products of all that labor and fuel use just go away on their own, and on and on and on. Could the ash and pulverized stone mixture that would have needed to be cleared away on a daily basis been incorporated in mud bricks, plasters or some sort of mortar? The problems and their solutions is most of what I find interesting about the entire subject. Shallow explanations: "They just used fire." as though there were no logistical problems to overcome in doing so are irritating.

@@JoeSevy you asked a qeneral question about fuel sources and got a general answer. If you want more than that then I would suggest drilling down into the massive literature on various aspects of ancient egypt. Some of the issues you raised may be addressed in the bibliographies of the sources I provided. Or you can visit sites devoted to ancient Egypt and ask people with actual expertise in egyptology. There are a couple such pages on reddit where you can interact with people with training in ancient history, egyptology, ancient history, experimental archaeology, etc.

Ah........do you think that the people ate their food raw??? lol! Methinks not. Ergo wood was being imported on a massive scale anyways for a variety of things with fires being only one. The Palermo Stone as but one example details how Sneferu ordered 40 boatloads of cedar be obtained from Lebanon and instructed that ships up to 50 meters in length be constructed. They were not using dugouts after all. Harder acacia wood which was used for their wooden sleds and construction was sourced from upriver in Nubia and beyond. Thus yes they had an inexhaustible supply as you say. Wood was a basic item for any community being required for a host of things. The Egyptians being a river dependent civilization maintained an active trade network with surrounding cultures. Consider Tutankhamun's gold death mask. It contained semi-precious stones which sourced from as far away as Afghanistan and India = ergo clearly the Egyptians were capable of obtaining items from a great distance.

@@varyolla435 So, you're admitting that part of the resources of the civilization was used for a purpose other than cutting and placing stone. How much?

You didn’t see the fire setting test? How about you build me a gothic cathedral? I don’t believe Chartres Cathedral was built with the tools at the time. You must invest the money and time . I am being sarcastic of course because I assume you are being sarcastic in asking for an eight foot trench. Why not nine or seven feet?

​@@SacredGeometryDecoded If I made the claim that a gothic cathedral was constructed by a certain method/tools, then the onus is definitely on me to prove that claim. In other words, the onus is ALWAYS on the person who is offering a hypothesis. In this case, I have NO IDEA how the Egyptians built these things, so I don't have a hypothesis to prove. You, on the other hand, DO have a hypothesis, so it's up to you to prove it. The trench around the unfinished obelisk is about 8 feet deep. I have no explanation for how they did it, but YOU do. You claim that the trench was created by copper chisels and dolerite pounders. That is your hypothesis, and it sounds good on paper. The next step is for you to put it to the test. Otherwise, your hypothesis is no different than all the other hypotheses out there. Will it cost time and money? Absolutely. But that is your challenge. In 1915, Einstein proposed the hypothesis that gravity warps space. It took a 100 years (a lot of time) and many billions of dollars (a lot of money) before experimentalists were finally able to test that hypothesis. You cannot be an armchair scientist by simply proposing a hypothesis and then declaring victory without experimental evidence, because it is the experiment that makes or breaks a hypothesis.

@@arashadjudani2478 it took a very short time and a few dollars to test the hypothesis of drilling, cutting, polishing and pounding stones. We can give minimum cutting rates. The definitive statements of lost high techies that it was impossible. It’s been proven, if you are actually interested then it’s up to you to contribute something to a larger project. It’s the height of entitled laziness to demand others do your labour. Hiding behind “I don’t know” is a weak excuse. If you cared you could learn or disprove a hypothesis. Bringing up Einstein and comparing that to working stone is just ridiculous. The tools that survive and/or depicted can do the work and you can fact check the experiments. If you are not willing to accept the least bit of responsibility then you have to step up. You go carve out an eight foot trench. Time it and document it. Or at least contribute to the costs. You know, like an adult who claims to have an interest. Your mob was saying impossible with hand tools, and now others went to the effort of doing it you shift the goal posts and demand large projects be funded to suit your laziness. I don’t think so. The credibility of the “I don’t know how it was done but it is impossible with hand tools” crowd is dead. Though if you want to see a larger project then help pay for it, or at least be willing to get a few blisters and join in. Can’t wait to see at least one of you actually put your hands on stone.

​@@SacredGeometryDecoded The fact that I don't know these things were built is a sign of honesty, not "laziness". In fact, it seems to me that YOU are the one who is taking the "lazy" path by expecting others to pay for the cost of your hypothesis. Have YOU actually attempted to create a granite box or trench? I am willing to bet the answer is no. So why don't you give it a try and report back with your results. And for the record, I don't believe in the "ancient high technology" hypothesis because they also have not proven their case. Everyone thinks they know how these things were built, but no one has actually done it. Please share a link or website of anyone who has created a SINGLE polished granite block or even a small granite box using ancient techniques. Show me actual evidence of how the test pits were created around the unfinished obelisk. Provide evidence of any surviving copper saws that the ancient Egyptians used to cut stones. I will wait. Thank you.

@@arashadjudani2478 I have done a number of experiments. Other experiments have done all the necessary parts such as corners. You are asking for larger complete expensive and time consuming jobs to be done so your point is bullshit. Let me know when you’ve done something. In physics experiments include a null hypothesis to show things are incorrect. If you don’t know but want to know put your hand up. Start with repeating what has been done and replicate it. Then you’ll know what can be done and how long it takes. If you are not willing to even do that then you don’t get a seat at the grown ups table. You too have a responsibility if you are genuinely interested. Let me know when you care enough to do something.

Well you can scoop 6-7 stones as sandstone is higher than granite because it has more percentage of quartz. Mohs scale is about scratching and totally misused by the lost high tech people. If you couldn't make marks that look like they've been scooped granite sculptors would have a very hard time shaping stone. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j8L0X7Ms5Lc.html Scan through to see hundreds of scoop marks, when igneous stone like oya or granite is broken away it takes a scoop with it.

Imagine rows of workers sitting down facing the surface of the stone. Each one has dolerite pounders which they as far up as they can reach chip away/"rub" down the sides of their assigned area in front of them - remember you can remove stone via "abrasion" as well as pounding/chipping. So scraping a pounder down -----> down ------> down in a methodical manner can also remove stone from the surface being abraded yielding your "scoop marks". p.s. - also remember that these marks are thousands of years old. So the occasional heavy rainfall which periodically hits Egypt cascading down the sides of the obelisk might also help to smooth those areas out over the centuries of exposure - in addition to blowing sand.

Get the best modern hand chisels and you couldn’t do it. Then give an experienced sculptor pounding stones and flint and they do a great job. As seen in reality with tests Stone tools do exactly the same thing as iron, remove waste. Precision? That’s a lost tech buzzword and I have posted my own experiments the “precision” experts of lost tech said were impossible. The sculptures are not symmetrical. That is a huge lie they keep telling you along with the others. I have posted on that as well. Look at the statue with the magic lines and circles and then look for lack of symmetry instead of repeat what you’ve been told. Give it a minute and then you’ll realise that they have brainwashed you into believing buzzwords.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded there needs to be a modern day recreation of this then. Create granite objects/scultures pounded by hand into ‘nearly’ perfect surfaces/angles. Then I would be cured of my brainwashing, it would shut down all the myths and probably make someone rich if they make a documentary. I’d also really like to see a recreation of some of those ancient stone vases.

@@ToddPalms the granite lighthouses of Uk and Ireland . All surfaces meet rather than just partial fine joining. The other features just as angles and polishing are standard stone masonry. Modern masons who switch to ore iron tools do the work in the same way. They just need to adjust to the tools. Here’s a test. I don’t believe stone masons with hand tools built the gothic cathedrals. I demand someone else funds a cathedral with vaulted ceilings. I won’t look into practicing traditional stone masons. I won’t try using older tools and comparing to iron tools.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded I never said or meant to recreate megalith sculptures or an actual pyramid, the recreation can be smaller, especially the granite thin wall vases are a small project which traditional masons should be able to create rather easily according to you?

@@ToddPalms I’ve already done tests and made pieces including translucent thin granite. They are posted including raw footage. Why is that others must do the homework for lost tech. Scientists against Myths and myself aren’t featured or mentioned anywhere by lost tech because it’s a scam. All those lost tech grifters are super censors.

Hello and thank you for the link. I had similar happen when drilling granite cores and popping them out. A bit gets stuck and comes out leaving a scoop

The physics is fine. A good part of the video deals with that question. Sticks and strings. If anything that’s the best job to have when it comes to pounding hammers, you are in the shade and the rope holds all the weight. Mike Haduck has video of the Aswan blocks from years back and it’s much larger. Though banging a rounded pounder for a few seconds doesn’t mean much. The lost high techies should try it for a hour and measure the weight lost. Scientists Against Myths did, or compare pounder versus steel tool. Steel goes slowly as well but for some reason there’s no mystery with steel tools.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded You criticise Petrie's use of "scoop marks", yet "pounders" is apparently OK, when they could all have been "hammers" - the remnants are what Petrie left in the Aswan quarry.

@@megamond scoop marks is just a description, people use scoop to mean it was scooped out ice cream style. You are digging deep for something that isn’t there. Desperately digging for any little thing to grasp into but I would bet my bottom dollar you can’t link a video of lost high tech where you exhibit that same critical thinking. It just goes one way because you are rusted into a cult belief has has no evidence at all. From people who used to cite Mohs hardness when dealing with pounders. Quietly that and other claims of theirs have been dropped. Quick, cheap and easy experimentation can easily prove their core claims as false.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded The trouble with extremists from either end of the scale is that they take any criticism as being from the other extreme. Matt from Ancient Architects (a Geologist by trade) is far more open minded. The History Channel and now the US Govt (smokescreen for secret aircraft?) regularly trot out "alien" crap - I mentioned prior "da Vinci/Herodotus... wooden machinery" - you mention hammers, no? Some of the highest precision space optics are made by hand on a turntable by a guy in Holland.

​@@SacredGeometryDecoded Just like the Scientists Against Myths wankers, Mike Haduck does very rough work in all of his examples and gave up uncompleted on a task he set himself on one of his biggest work pieces - EPIC FAIL, just like the wankers.

A small block of granite is enough to work out the rates of removal and that has been done. It was done in Egypt too. Chris Dunn published the results of his “experiment” and it’s so far off its suspicious. I had a go myself in this video to compare angular versus dolerite pounders. So…. Though if I had a steel hammer? It removes material slowly as well so then the entire Iron Age must be questioned. Though Chris Dunn drilled a hole in granite with a top heavy crank handled drill and only got 0.4 degrees of taper. How about you show us how to beat the rules of physics and biology to do that? The hack fraud did it with a drill press and passes it off as hand work. Myself and others have done and posted experiments in how to form. Have you or Chris Dunn actually ever tested your claims. I have and posted them, doing what Dunn and co describe as impossible. The balls in your court now. Let me know when you actually do something and present it. In Egypt or anywhere. Your boy Chris Dunn is a fraud. He is running scared because he has been exposed. Repeat his “experiments” and see what result you get. You can’t demand the labour of others if you haven’t done a single thing yourself. Although it is a trait of lost ancient high technologists. They are free if any responsibility. You might want to check out my playlists section. I have a bunch of videos showing drilling, grinding, polishing and cutting. I even make my own abrasive. So there you go. What have you or Chris Dunn actually done? I put my stuff on the table, I wasn’t the first and yet from the lost high techies……crickets. Let me know when you or any of the lost techies are willing to get on the court.

@@tilleryinnovations592 Incredibly stupid suggestion since stone masons and quarry workers used to work a long time to make things. It takes about half an hour to make a scoop mark and that has already been done with a pounder by the Scientists Against Myths experiments to figure out work rates.\Not surpirisingly they are not much different from steel tools because they just work on percussion. I have compiled and shown a lot of masons at work, including ones who switched to ancient tools. Does making a lot of scoop marks next to each other becoming exponentially harder than making one? You really have been captured by this cult and your points are just plain dumb. After six months I will have a pile of chips, a big pile of chips. If someone did organise 100 people and pay them to work for sic months then you's only come up with a new objection and then demand that be proved to you. No one needs to prove anything to you because you lack the understanding of basic concepts. I could dig a six foot long ditch and then you'd say it's not a mile long and you won;t believe it can be done a mile long. You are in a cult and proof of that is in your comment. The basic act of removing stone has become a mystery. That's how ridiculous this thing is, removing stone with hand tools is something you can't believe and actually argue the fact passionately. That's what thus cult of stone pointers has done to you.

@@tilleryinnovations592 Maybe follow the links and do a short experiment yourself. If you did you wouldn’t be mystified by indents in stone. Or the unexplainable mystery that not too love ago people used to work hard.

It's really hard to tell sarcasm from actual beliefs about lost tech atlantis stone. I'll assume your are joking. ;-)

👍 Plus the inconvenient fact that if you heat granite in a camp fire it is permanently ruined by micro cracks. Melt it and it turns into obsidian. But I suppose there was another machine to restructure the atoms and crystals back into their earlier state. I mean that makes a lot more sense than people doing stone work.

Or you poured fine grained rock particles into rectangular molds mixed with organic compounds and straw superheated which reformed into natural rock.

@@ECLECTRIC_EDITS or you smacked it with a stone.

@@unclescipio3136 shut up

Seriously......... If you can only think in terms of "lifting" then = 🤦 They were not lifted. They were pushed/pulled on wooden sledges by teams of men and oxen. They were raised using ramps and sand to settle them upon their base.

@@varyolla435 but how did they lift them out the quarry before they could push them

@@chrism8705 Go to Google maps and open a map of the area - switch to satellite view: 1 - see whereby the obelisk rests uphill from the Nile about a km away. 2 - see whereby one side of its pit is already partially opened = now see there is a large open space just beyond that. 3 - see whereby the modern road runs nearby and it follows the natural incline leading down to the Nile. 4 - see the obelisk rests at an angle relative to the ground in its pit. So as they would remove stone from underneath it wooden framing could be added until once it was broken free from the bedrock = it would already be on a wooden sledge. 5 - then had it not cracked and been abandoned they could have finished opening up that side -------> hauled the sledge out of the pit laterally into the large open area to that side -------> hauled that downhill to the nearby Nile where in a "wadi" dikes would have been built to hold back the water. In the wadi a partial barge would have been built - hull and deck only. Remember that the Egyptians "sewed together" the planks of their ships so ships could be assembled to needed size. Create ramps on both ends of your barge = so that the obelisk on a sledge could be pulled up one end onto the deck - as the pullers went down the opposite end ramp = and the rest of the barge was assembled around it. Then you wait for the annual Nile flood and open your dikes to flood your wadi area raising your barge allowing it to be hauled by other ships out into the channel to its destination - where another harbor area was already waiting. So no "lifting" required.

@@chrism8705 he doesn't know. lol

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ReDyQyQlloo.html Let me get this straight. Parallel lines indicate a machine with revolutions. It’s hard to tell genuine sarcasm from lost high tech people being serious. You really need to know the basics of the things you pretend to care about. Unless of course advanced machines were around in the 1600 and 1700s and the evil cover up of the machines decided to play 4d chess by releasing the machines into the world so that no one would suspect the machines had done the work and so be releasing the forbidden machines and the secret of the machines would stay hidden.

I have a playlist of many demonstrations I have done. Swinging a tool on a rope shouldn’t need to be demonstrated . Feel free to do it yourself though. Find a rock face and build a temporary wall behind you to simulate a trench. Then try the same with steel tools. It’s slow by modern standards but was normal everyday work only a few generations ago. I have posted compilations of old quarry and stone mason photos. I s as m sure you’ll find that the tool will impact the stone much the same as on an open rock face or in a trench. I am also positive being in a trench won’t affect the way a pendulum swings.

You mean like Mike Haduck or the non stone masons such as myself that demonstrate what the comments section fake stone masons call impossible?

If a crack already exists it makes perfect sense to take advantage of that. Plenty of old examples of granite quarrymen doin exactly that, or breaking down large stones for blocks. I posted collections of stone workers doing that back in the old days. You are incorrect or the the stone workers who came before you are wrong.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded my comment was in reference to your assumption that the "scoop marks" were a reverse, yet same method of quarrying the Romans were using. Chiseling or drilling small holes and removing large pieces between them. That makes sense. It does not make sense that the scoop marks were a reverse of this process. A stonecutter does not first remove large areas only to make it easier to remove small ones. They would have removed the small ones at the same time they were removing the big ones. You, are incorrect.

@@billthecook4357 if they were using the tools found on site and other pre iron quarries including Peru, stone tools. How would you make those finer cuts with a dolerite hammer/pick? The nature of the tool would be more like using a ball point hammer instead of a sharp pick. The tools match the marks, in Iron Age Egyptian quarries the tool marks change to those type seen up until mechanisation.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded the dolabite pounding stones that I have seen were not Sharp. Quite the contrary. I understand your assumption that they were once Sharp but we do not know that. If in 10,000 years my house is excavated they may find a coke bottle and some rocks. That does not mean the coke bottle was made with the rocks. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I am of the belief that the pre-diastic Egyptians discovered the monuments of Egypt and repurposed them. Or do you propose that their statues, obelisks, and other monuments were made using dolabite rocks as well? Or Flint tools perhaps? Of course. They must have carved perfectly symmetric statues with sharp rocks. 😂

@@billthecook4357 we do know that. Partly used sharp stones were found too, including with wear and exported to other quarry sites. You are the one assuming. I link sources for reference not window dressing. You need to look into it more. So steel transfers magic accuracy to the stone mason? Sculptors experimenting with stone tools had good results. Symmetrical work comes from the measurement technique. Stone tools should be more accurate since they remove material slower. Either way connecting symmetry to the material the tool is made from is a nonsense. Do carbide tip tools make the carver even more accurate than tempered steel? Skilled workers not magic materials is what counts. Steel is not magic. 🤦 stone or steel tools are only as good as the person using them. Also those statues are not magically perfect and symmetrical. That’s from Chris Dunn and his book is free on line. Funny that no one notices the deviations and compares to more contemporary handwork. No one seems to think unexplained mysterious anomaly with those works. Those who sold the unexplainable symmetry of statues also stated the schist disc is precision, Serapeum boxes are precise and etc etc. 😂 your analogy of coke bottles and rocks is a joke right?

No it wouldn’t take unreasonable time and effort. The experiments give a working rate (minimum since with experience it can only increase). For a long to put a crew of approximately 100 - 200 to work for a year on a major monument such as an obelisk is far from unimaginable. Large projects throughout time would put large labour forces to work for years and decades. Roman road networks and aqueducts don’t look as spectacular because they are spread out and the whole can’t be seen, the amount of material that had to be sourced and then moved surpasses Egypt

You make a bunch of bs claims. Please make this machine prove it works and that the Egyptian used it. They had drawings and writing and we have found their tools. Also Aswan Egypt is the oldest Quarries know to man. Older stone age structures were not quarried they were made with above ground stones.

As a matter of fact you might want to look up my playlist of experiments with granite and primitive tools. You’ve never worked anything in your life have you? Listening to uncharted x and brien forester isn’t experience.

@@SacredGeometryDecoded I did and couldn;t find any examples of techniques that could explain the granite surfaces on huge blocks seen throughout eqypt.... some requiring trigonometry to create.... Your little shop projects really does'nt cut it there buck-o.

@@curiousbystander9193 I am glad to see that you checked out the channel as I suggested. I would argue that all the techniques have been demonstrated small scale by experimentalists.

@@Eyes_Open key word "small scale"...... thanks for clarifying

@@Eyes_Open I have seen big being done at rock of ages in vt a number a years back....and what stood out was, everything they did required power...... yes, because the size was so big for some items they needed to build reinforced steel structures just to move them, let alone cut or chisel them. Size has everything to do with the questions people struggle with about megalithic creations.....that's right, cause even with pully's and levers, there are limits to how much torque men can create without some kind of steel. ANd then, there are limits to that as welI. Is there a single machine on the planet now that can move the stones at Baalbek? DO you have any concept of how many horse power it would take to just budge those blocks a few inches? A team of 50 elephants could not slide them off their base? SO what is it you are suggesting? That everything is above board and there are no long view agendas to distort certain historical circumstances? Cause clearly we haven't been told a few things........

If you watched I go into that but you didn’t watch. So I can dismiss you as another lost tech fanboy. I have tried out a lot of this stuff and so I know you haven’t. That makes you a liar because you talk as if you know but you don’t,

@@SacredGeometryDecoded Hey @$$ hle, show me one video or article where someone successfully make anything with a dolerite ball. You can't because its been proven total BS! You also can't explain how these monuments got to less than 1-10,000 of an inch precision. Where are these saw curf's coming from? Where are these core holes coming from? You don't know the first thing about level of precision. I own a machine shop. That level of precision is IMPOSSIBLE without precision measuring devices and machines to cut. Thats the end of the story! As the level of precision advances, so does society. No level of precision, then no advancement. There is no possible way an agrarian society with bronze tools and round rocks could have afforded either the man power nor had the economy to build such giant structures let alone lacking the proper level of precision!. Would not have happened with slaves either. Egypt today could not afford to build a single pyramid. You haven't looked at anything at all. You don't know anything at all. Go back to your mothers basement tard!

If you can't even follow the sources and know the basics then you're not entitled to be part of the discussion. YOU show me one instance where you go beyond being a parrot of lost high tech narratives. Now the monuments go to 1/10000ths of an inch? Seems to growing day by day now ;-P You are just repeating what you've seen in comments and spewing it as if it's your own individual thought. You might find a playlist of the demonstrations i have made with simple tools. They are how to videos so that anyone can repeat. When you've done half of those come back if you're still going to carry on with your fantasy.

Modern quarries and machines move giant blocks and weights much heavier. They use trench cutters to lay pipe over vast distances. With modern equipment you spit these types of things our. In modern times whose going to pay a hundred plus workers for a year when you could get a couple of guys with machines to do it in a couple of days? Ancient people couldn’t make a large hall with an unsupported ceiling. At launch the Saturn V rocket weighed more than twice the unfinished obelisk. 2800 tonnes. We’re so far beyond making block and lintel construction. We make these monoliths literally fly

The millions of pyramid blocks are rough hewn limestone. A steel pounder was standard tool for masons and quarry men until only a few generations ago. I can imagine all sorts of tools but with no evidence the tools that work, and match tool marks, are the strongest case. Especially against zero evidence for alternate theory.
