outside in Egypt and they test bronze
 

975
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:30,789
outside in Egypt and they test bronze
chisels, bronze saws, and tubular drills

chisels, bronze saws, and tubular drills
 

977
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:32,870
chisels, bronze saws, and tubular drills
on granite. And they debate whether it

00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:32,880
on granite. And they debate whether it
 

979
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,510
on granite. And they debate whether it
was just sand or sand and water that

980

was just sand or sand and water that
 

981

were used along with the softer metal in
 

983
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,669
were used along with the softer metal in
order to cut the stone. So they start

984
00:17:39,669 --> 00:17:39,679
order to cut the stone. So they start
 

985
00:17:39,679 --> 00:17:41,590
order to cut the stone. So they start
their experiment and after a few days of

Now, I don't want to nitpick this to
death. It was quite clearly done for a

death. It was quite clearly done for a
 

1023
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:20,549
death. It was quite clearly done for a
television audience. It wasn't a real

00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:20,559
television audience. It wasn't a real
 

1025

00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:24,080
anything like that, but there are a
 

1029
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,590
anything like that, but there are a
couple of things about this that I just

1030
00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:25,600
couple of things about this that I just
 

1031
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,390
couple of things about this that I just
have to mention. For example, this is

1032
00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:28,400
have to mention. For example, this is
 

1033
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,950
have to mention. For example, this is
how they claim to start the cut for the

1034
00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:30,960
how they claim to start the cut for the
 

1035
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,029
how they claim to start the cut for the
horizontal bronze saw. So, you're going

1036
00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:33,039
horizontal bronze saw. So, you're going
 

1037
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:34,310
horizontal bronze saw. So, you're going
to chip a groove and then you're going

1038
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:34,320
to chip a groove and then you're going
 

1039
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,390
to chip a groove and then you're going
to put the copper and slide it back and

1040
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:36,400
to put the copper and slide it back and
 

1041
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,029
to put the copper and slide it back and
forth.

1042
00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:37,039
forth.
 

1043
00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:39,270

Also, note the blatant use of steel

chisels here in order to break off the
 

1059
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,190
chisels here in order to break off the
drill core. They had bronze chisels as

1060
00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:57,200
drill core. They had bronze chisels as
 

1061
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,470
drill core. They had bronze chisels as
they were shown earlier in the

00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:58,480
they were shown earlier in the
 

1063
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,390
they were shown earlier in the
documentary. So, why didn't they use the

1064
00:19:00,390 --> 00:19:00,400
documentary. So, why didn't they use the
 

1065
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,630
documentary. So, why didn't they use the
bronze instead of the steel? Because as

1066
00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:02,640
bronze instead of the steel? Because as
 

1067
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,630
bronze instead of the steel? Because as
it turns out, it's not easy to snap off

00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:04,640
it turns out, it's not easy to snap off

And you can see the exact same thing

1088
00:19:25,029 --> 00:19:25,039
And you can see the exact same thing
 

1089
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:27,430
And you can see the exact same thing
happening here. This is a serious flaw

happening here. This is a serious flaw
 

1091
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,789
happening here. This is a serious flaw

00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:35,110
course, we can highlight the snide
dismissal of these methods. Barely an

If this is what it took, it's what they
were going to do. Pharaohs didn't give a

were going to do. Pharaohs didn't give a

[\h__\h] about how difficult of a feat it
 

1109
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,990
[\h__\h] about how difficult of a feat it
would be. They just threw more humans

1110
00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:48,000
would be. They just threw more humans
 

1111
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,990
would be. They just threw more humans
and money at it until their monuments

00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:50,000
and money at it until their monuments
 

1113
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,310
and money at it until their monuments
got finished. And the striation patterns

1114
00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:52,320
got finished. And the striation patterns
 

1115
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,150
got finished. And the striation patterns
that result wonderfully match what we

that result wonderfully match what we
 

1117
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,909
that result wonderfully match what we
observe. So, there's plenty of reason to

1118
00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:55,919
observe. So, there's plenty of reason to
 

1119
00:19:55,919 --> 00:19:57,909
observe. So, there's plenty of reason to
take these techniques seriously. But it

Dunn, which is bad enough, but then

1124
00:20:02,070 --> 00:20:02,080
Dunn, which is bad enough, but then
 

1125
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,390
Dunn, which is bad enough, but then
starts talking about bronze chisels. In

the quote, he himself flashes. Chris
 

1129
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,110
the quote, he himself flashes. Chris
mentions using a copper chisel. Ben's

obviously not a chemistry buff, but he

1132
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:11,200
obviously not a chemistry buff, but he
 

1133
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,190
obviously not a chemistry buff, but he
should know that bronze and copper are

1134
00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:13,200
should know that bronze and copper are
 

1135
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,590
should know that bronze and copper are
different substances. Copper is an

1136
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:15,600
different substances. Copper is an
 

1137
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,230
different substances. Copper is an
element. Bronze is an alloy of copper

1138
00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:18,240
element. Bronze is an alloy of copper
 

1139
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,470
element. Bronze is an alloy of copper
and tin, and it's significantly harder

1140
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:20,480
and tin, and it's significantly harder
 

1141
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,870
and tin, and it's significantly harder
than copper. Ben also doesn't consider

1142
00:20:22,870 --> 00:20:22,880
than copper. Ben also doesn't consider
 

1143
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,029

stone chisels or any other object that

1145
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:26,789
stone chisels or any other object that
could have been used. He just says that

1146
00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:26,799
could have been used. He just says that
 

1147
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:28,630
could have been used. He just says that
Dunn couldn't get it to work. Therefore,

1148
00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:28,640
Dunn couldn't get it to work. Therefore,
 

1149
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,549
Dunn couldn't get it to work. Therefore,
nothing can work. So, who the [\h__\h] is

00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:30,559
nothing can work. So, who the [\h__\h] is

But the grifter can't tell the truth

But the grifter can't tell the truth

But the grifter can't tell the truth
that science won't acknowledge their

that science won't acknowledge their

baseless. So instead, science must be
 

1647
00:29:38,399 --> 00:29:41,590
baseless. So instead, science must be
closedminded and resistant to change.

no evidence for any of that. So you

00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,870
no evidence for any of that. So you

In one of them, all the gods masturbate

Egyptian trope is that life emerged out
 

1809
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,710
Egyptian trope is that life emerged out
of primordial water. So not a flood or

of primordial water. So not a flood or
 

1811
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,470
of primordial water. So not a flood or
cataclysm at all. How about the

Sumerians? Again, multiple myths. One

cities. They do have a flood myth, but
 

1819
00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:44,470
cities. They do have a flood myth, but
it's not how the world was created. And

1820
00:32:44,470 --> 00:32:44,480
it's not how the world was created. And
 

1821
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,549

the impact at all. Ben never even looked
 

2745
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,470
the impact at all. Ben never even looked
at the bibliography. He's just repeating

2746
00:49:48,470 --> 00:49:48,480
at the bibliography. He's just repeating
 

2747
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,309
at the bibliography. He's just repeating
what he was told by frauds since he's

what he was told by frauds since he's
 

2749

what he was told by frauds since he's
incapable of reading primary scientific

incapable of reading primary scientific

incapable of reading primary scientific
literature. There is no support for this

literature. There is no support for this
 

2753
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,069

pseudocience in legitimate research.

Let's get down to some examples of

Let's get down to some examples of
 

2757
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,990
Let's get down to some examples of
ancient high technology. I've grouped

2758
00:49:59,990 --> 00:50:00,000
ancient high technology. I've grouped
 

2759
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,309
ancient high technology. I've grouped
these examples into categories. And this

2760
00:50:02,309 --> 00:50:02,319
these examples into categories. And this
 

2761
00:50:02,319 --> 00:50:04,230
these examples into categories. And this
will be a two-part video in order to

2762
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:04,240
will be a two-part video in order to
 

2763
00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:06,470
will be a two-part video in order to
cover as many of them as I can. And I

2764
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:06,480
cover as many of them as I can. And I
 

2765
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:07,829
cover as many of them as I can. And I
want to start with the evidence for

2766
00:50:07,829 --> 00:50:07,839
want to start with the evidence for
 

2767
00:50:07,839 --> 00:50:10,309
want to start with the evidence for
machining. By this term, I mean the

2768
00:50:10,309 --> 00:50:10,319
machining. By this term, I mean the
 

2769
00:50:10,319 --> 00:50:12,790
machining. By this term, I mean the
marks and indications of advanced tools

2770
00:50:12,790 --> 00:50:12,800
marks and indications of advanced tools
 

2771
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,549
marks and indications of advanced tools
that have been used to cut or shape

2772
00:50:14,549 --> 00:50:14,559
that have been used to cut or shape
 

2773
00:50:14,559 --> 00:50:16,710
that have been used to cut or shape
stone blocks and objects. And these

2774
00:50:16,710 --> 00:50:16,720
stone blocks and objects. And these
 

2775
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:18,549
stone blocks and objects. And these
tools are definitely not found in the

2776
00:50:18,549 --> 00:50:18,559
tools are definitely not found in the
 

2777
00:50:18,559 --> 00:50:21,190
tools are definitely not found in the
archaeological record. Right? So by

2778
00:50:21,190 --> 00:50:21,200
archaeological record. Right? So by
 

2779
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,030
archaeological record. Right? So by
evidence for machining, he means

2780
00:50:23,030 --> 00:50:23,040
evidence for machining, he means
 

2781
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,950
evidence for machining, he means
physical characteristics that he blindly

2782
00:50:24,950 --> 00:50:24,960
physical characteristics that he blindly
 

2783
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,790
physical characteristics that he blindly
insists can only have been made by

2784
00:50:26,790 --> 00:50:26,800
insists can only have been made by
 

2785
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,230
insists can only have been made by
something other than the tools we know

2786
00:50:28,230 --> 00:50:28,240
something other than the tools we know
 

2787
00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:30,309
something other than the tools we know
that they had and used. This is a

2788
00:50:30,309 --> 00:50:30,319
that they had and used. This is a
 

2789
00:50:30,319 --> 00:50:32,470
that they had and used. This is a
classic example of starting with an idea

2790
00:50:32,470 --> 00:50:32,480
classic example of starting with an idea
 

2791
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,230
classic example of starting with an idea
that this stuff could only be made by

2792
00:50:34,230 --> 00:50:34,240
that this stuff could only be made by
 

2793
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:36,390
that this stuff could only be made by
super advanced technology and working

2794
00:50:36,390 --> 00:50:36,400
super advanced technology and working
 

2795
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,470
super advanced technology and working

evidence that doesn't support your
 

2799
00:50:39,839 --> 00:50:41,670
evidence that doesn't support your
conclusion. That's totally how science

00:50:41,670 --> 00:50:41,680
conclusion. That's totally how science
 

2801
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,150
conclusion. That's totally how science
works, Ben. In actuality, here's how

2802
00:50:44,150 --> 00:50:44,160
works, Ben. In actuality, here's how
 

2803
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,309
works, Ben. In actuality, here's how
science really works. We examine

2804
00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:46,319
science really works. We examine
 

2805
00:50:46,319 --> 00:50:48,790
science really works. We examine
evidence. Here's the evidence that we

2806
00:50:48,790 --> 00:50:48,800
evidence. Here's the evidence that we
 

2807
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,670
evidence. Here's the evidence that we
have. One, bronze, copper, and stone

2808
00:50:51,670 --> 00:50:51,680
have. One, bronze, copper, and stone
 

2809
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,710
have. One, bronze, copper, and stone
tools from these sites. Two, bronze and

00:50:54,710 --> 00:50:54,720
tools from these sites. Two, bronze and
 

2811
00:50:54,720 --> 00:50:56,630
tools from these sites. Two, bronze and
copper residue on the cut areas of

00:50:56,630 --> 00:50:56,640
copper residue on the cut areas of
 

2813
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,190
copper residue on the cut areas of
unfinished objects. Three, quaries and

2814
00:50:59,190 --> 00:50:59,200
unfinished objects. Three, quaries and
 

2815
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,109
unfinished objects. Three, quaries and
workshops with hammerstones and bronze

2816
00:51:01,109 --> 00:51:01,119
workshops with hammerstones and bronze
 

2817
00:51:01,119 --> 00:51:03,829
workshops with hammerstones and bronze
and copper tools. Four, contemporaneous

2818
00:51:03,829 --> 00:51:03,839
and copper tools. Four, contemporaneous
 

2819
00:51:03,839 --> 00:51:06,150
and copper tools. Four, contemporaneous
drawings of people using stone, copper,

2820
00:51:06,150 --> 00:51:06,160
drawings of people using stone, copper,
 

2821
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,790
drawings of people using stone, copper,
and bronze tools to do stonework. Next,

2822
00:51:08,790 --> 00:51:08,800
and bronze tools to do stonework. Next,
 

2823
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,030
and bronze tools to do stonework. Next,
we devise a hypothesis based on the

2824
00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:11,040
we devise a hypothesis based on the
 

2825
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,270
we devise a hypothesis based on the
evidence at hand. The Egyptians cut

2826
00:51:13,270 --> 00:51:13,280
evidence at hand. The Egyptians cut
 

2827
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,990
evidence at hand. The Egyptians cut
stone using stone, copper, and bronze

2828
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:16,000
stone using stone, copper, and bronze
 

2829
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,630
stone using stone, copper, and bronze
tools. If this hypothesis is true, then

2830
00:51:18,630 --> 00:51:18,640
tools. If this hypothesis is true, then
 

2831
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:19,990
tools. If this hypothesis is true, then
we should be able to replicate their

2832
00:51:19,990 --> 00:51:20,000
we should be able to replicate their
 

2833
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,750
we should be able to replicate their
artifacts and technology to perform

2834
00:51:21,750 --> 00:51:21,760
artifacts and technology to perform
 

2835
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,670
artifacts and technology to perform
similar tasks, and we should find

2836
00:51:23,670 --> 00:51:23,680
similar tasks, and we should find
 

2837
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,349
similar tasks, and we should find
evidence of these tools and their use

2838
00:51:25,349 --> 00:51:25,359
evidence of these tools and their use
 

2839
00:51:25,359 --> 00:51:28,150
evidence of these tools and their use
when we excavate Egyptian sites. This

2840
00:51:28,150 --> 00:51:28,160
when we excavate Egyptian sites. This
 

2841
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,150
when we excavate Egyptian sites. This
hypothesis would be quite simple to

2842
00:51:30,150 --> 00:51:30,160
hypothesis would be quite simple to
 

2843
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,790
hypothesis would be quite simple to
falsify if we use these technologies and

2844
00:51:32,790 --> 00:51:32,800
falsify if we use these technologies and
 

2845
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,549
falsify if we use these technologies and
find ourselves unable to reproduce

2846
00:51:34,549 --> 00:51:34,559
find ourselves unable to reproduce
 

2847
00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:37,109
find ourselves unable to reproduce
Egyptian artifacts or if we find some

2848
00:51:37,109 --> 00:51:37,119
Egyptian artifacts or if we find some
 

2849
00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:38,870
Egyptian artifacts or if we find some
evidence of super advanced technology

2850
00:51:38,870 --> 00:51:38,880
evidence of super advanced technology
 

2851
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,950
evidence of super advanced technology
that was being used instead. The former

2852
00:51:40,950 --> 00:51:40,960
that was being used instead. The former
 

2853
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,190
that was being used instead. The former
is a no-go since we've used these tools

2854
00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:43,200
is a no-go since we've used these tools
 

2855
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,950
is a no-go since we've used these tools
to make these things and examined

2856
00:51:44,950 --> 00:51:44,960
to make these things and examined
 

2857
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,790
to make these things and examined
whether they match the artifacts they

2858
00:51:46,790 --> 00:51:46,800
whether they match the artifacts they
 

2859
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,030
whether they match the artifacts they
do. And the latter is a bust since we've

2860
00:51:49,030 --> 00:51:49,040
do. And the latter is a bust since we've
 

2861
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,710
do. And the latter is a bust since we've
never found a single shred of evidence

2862
00:51:50,710 --> 00:51:50,720
never found a single shred of evidence
 

2863
00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:52,870
never found a single shred of evidence

the rock. But all these blades do is

3178
00:57:35,430 --> 00:57:35,440
the rock. But all these blades do is
 

3179
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,990
the rock. But all these blades do is
grind into rock. So when we talk about

3180
00:57:37,990 --> 00:57:38,000
grind into rock. So when we talk about
 

3181
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,230
grind into rock. So when we talk about
cutting stone, this is just a way of

3182
00:57:40,230 --> 00:57:40,240
cutting stone, this is just a way of
 

3183
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,630
cutting stone, this is just a way of
saying grinding stone in a linear

3184
00:57:42,630 --> 00:57:42,640
saying grinding stone in a linear
 

3185
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,710
saying grinding stone in a linear
fashion that sort of kind of looks like

00:57:44,710 --> 00:57:44,720
fashion that sort of kind of looks like
 

3187
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,109
fashion that sort of kind of looks like
cutting. Ben has never used a rock saw.

3188
00:57:47,109 --> 00:57:47,119
cutting. Ben has never used a rock saw.

He doesn't know what they are. He

He doesn't know what they are. He
 

3191
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,150
He doesn't know what they are. He
doesn't know anything about geology and

3192
00:57:50,150 --> 00:57:50,160
doesn't know anything about geology and
 

3193
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:51,829
doesn't know anything about geology and
rock formation. He doesn't really know

3194
00:57:51,829 --> 00:57:51,839
rock formation. He doesn't really know
 

3195
00:57:51,839 --> 00:57:54,150
rock formation. He doesn't really know
much of anything. The very tiny width of

3196
00:57:54,150 --> 00:57:54,160
much of anything. The very tiny width of
 

3197
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,390
much of anything. The very tiny width of
the blade, as indicated by the lip at

short of impossible that such a saw

3202
00:58:00,789 --> 00:58:00,799
short of impossible that such a saw
 

3203
00:58:00,799 --> 00:58:02,069
short of impossible that such a saw
could have been made from a soft

3204
00:58:02,069 --> 00:58:02,079
could have been made from a soft
 

3205
00:58:02,079 --> 00:58:04,390
could have been made from a soft
material like copper or bronze and still

3206
00:58:04,390 --> 00:58:04,400
material like copper or bronze and still
 

3207
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,549
material like copper or bronze and still
managed to cut through bassalt. First,

3208
00:58:06,549 --> 00:58:06,559
managed to cut through bassalt. First,
 

3209
00:58:06,559 --> 00:58:08,549
managed to cut through bassalt. First,
the lip Ben is showing you is only part

3210
00:58:08,549 --> 00:58:08,559
the lip Ben is showing you is only part
 

3211
00:58:08,559 --> 00:58:10,470
the lip Ben is showing you is only part
of the groove made by a saw. He's

3212
00:58:10,470 --> 00:58:10,480
of the groove made by a saw. He's
 

3213
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,150
of the groove made by a saw. He's
missing the other half of the rock that

3214
00:58:12,150 --> 00:58:12,160
missing the other half of the rock that
 

3215
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,069
missing the other half of the rock that
would allow him to approximate how wide

3216
00:58:14,069 --> 00:58:14,079
would allow him to approximate how wide
 

3217
00:58:14,079 --> 00:58:16,150
would allow him to approximate how wide
the saw actually was. So he's just

3218
00:58:16,150 --> 00:58:16,160
the saw actually was. So he's just
 

3219
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,150
the saw actually was. So he's just
speculating with incomplete evidence. He

3220
00:58:18,150 --> 00:58:18,160
speculating with incomplete evidence. He
 

3221
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:19,990
speculating with incomplete evidence. He
clearly showed several partially cut

3222
00:58:19,990 --> 00:58:20,000
clearly showed several partially cut
 

3223
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:21,990
clearly showed several partially cut
rocks a bit earlier that had relatively

3224
00:58:21,990 --> 00:58:22,000
rocks a bit earlier that had relatively
 

3225
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,750
rocks a bit earlier that had relatively
wide cuts in them. If those are

3226
00:58:23,750 --> 00:58:23,760
wide cuts in them. If those are
 

3227
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,510
wide cuts in them. If those are
genuinely ancient, they are a better

3228
00:58:25,510 --> 00:58:25,520
genuinely ancient, they are a better
 

3229
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,109
genuinely ancient, they are a better
approximation of the width of the saw

3230
00:58:27,109 --> 00:58:27,119
approximation of the width of the saw
 

3231
00:58:27,119 --> 00:58:29,349
approximation of the width of the saw
used. Also, the width of the blade is

3232
00:58:29,349 --> 00:58:29,359
used. Also, the width of the blade is
 

3233
00:58:29,359 --> 00:58:31,270
used. Also, the width of the blade is
irrelevant to the material of the blade.

3234
00:58:31,270 --> 00:58:31,280
irrelevant to the material of the blade.
 

3235
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,190
irrelevant to the material of the blade.
Does Ben think that copper or bronze

3236
00:58:33,190 --> 00:58:33,200
Does Ben think that copper or bronze
 

3237
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,349
Does Ben think that copper or bronze
can't be thin? Again, the prevailing

3238
00:58:35,349 --> 00:58:35,359
can't be thin? Again, the prevailing
 

3239
00:58:35,359 --> 00:58:37,510
can't be thin? Again, the prevailing
hypothesis is that sand was doing the

3240
00:58:37,510 --> 00:58:37,520
hypothesis is that sand was doing the
 

3241
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,349
hypothesis is that sand was doing the
majority of the cutting and that the saw

3242
00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:39,359
majority of the cutting and that the saw
 

3243
00:58:39,359 --> 00:58:41,670
majority of the cutting and that the saw
was simply a mechanism for directing and

3244
00:58:41,670 --> 00:58:41,680
was simply a mechanism for directing and
 

3245
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,670
was simply a mechanism for directing and
moving the abrasive sand. So, his

3246
00:58:43,670 --> 00:58:43,680
moving the abrasive sand. So, his
 

3247
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,430
moving the abrasive sand. So, his
statement about it being too soft to

3248
00:58:45,430 --> 00:58:45,440
statement about it being too soft to
 

3249
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,829
statement about it being too soft to
make a thin cut is stupid. Then there's

3250
00:58:47,829 --> 00:58:47,839
make a thin cut is stupid. Then there's
 

3251
00:58:47,839 --> 00:58:50,150
make a thin cut is stupid. Then there's
the obvious problems. It would simply

3252
00:58:50,150 --> 00:58:50,160
the obvious problems. It would simply
 

3253
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,109
the obvious problems. It would simply
take far too long to grind through all

3254
00:58:53,109 --> 00:58:53,119
take far too long to grind through all
 

3255
00:58:53,119 --> 00:58:55,670
take far too long to grind through all
of these blocks in this way. And many of

00:58:57,599 --> 00:59:00,230

01:05:36,559 --> 01:05:38,549
There appears to be several stages of

ready to learn something, Ben. Then
lastly, we have the actual polishing

3808
01:08:34,470 --> 01:08:34,480
lastly, we have the actual polishing
 

3809
01:08:34,480 --> 01:08:36,630
lastly, we have the actual polishing
stage that brings the material to the

3810
01:08:36,630 --> 01:08:36,640
stage that brings the material to the
 

3811
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,749
stage that brings the material to the
point of reflecting light. Even while

3812
01:08:39,749 --> 01:08:39,759
point of reflecting light. Even while
 

3813
01:08:39,759 --> 01:08:42,229
point of reflecting light. Even while
covered in dust, the perfect nature of

3814
01:08:42,229 --> 01:08:42,239
covered in dust, the perfect nature of
 

3815
01:08:42,239 --> 01:08:44,630
covered in dust, the perfect nature of
the finish on these boxes really is

3816
01:08:44,630 --> 01:08:44,640
the finish on these boxes really is
 

3817
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,110
the finish on these boxes really is
remarkable, particularly in some of the

3818
01:08:47,110 --> 01:08:47,120
remarkable, particularly in some of the
 

3819
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,349
remarkable, particularly in some of the
interior spaces in the boxes, which

3820
01:08:49,349 --> 01:08:49,359
interior spaces in the boxes, which
 

3821
01:08:49,359 --> 01:08:51,030
interior spaces in the boxes, which
appear to have been polished almost

3822
01:08:51,030 --> 01:08:51,040
appear to have been polished almost
 

3823
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:52,630
appear to have been polished almost
perfectly.

3824
01:08:52,630 --> 01:08:52,640
perfectly.
 

3825
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,870
perfectly.
If you've seen my Serapium series,

3826
01:08:54,870 --> 01:08:54,880
If you've seen my Serapium series,
 

3827
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:56,070
If you've seen my Serapium series,
you'll know that there is some

3828
01:08:56,070 --> 01:08:56,080
you'll know that there is some
 

3829
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,309
you'll know that there is some
astonishing evidence that a liquid may

3830
01:08:58,309 --> 01:08:58,319
astonishing evidence that a liquid may
 

3831
01:08:58,319 --> 01:09:01,110
astonishing evidence that a liquid may
have been used to achieve this finish.

3832
01:09:01,110 --> 01:09:01,120
have been used to achieve this finish.
 

3833
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,189
have been used to achieve this finish.
You can see the markings left by what

3834
01:09:03,189 --> 01:09:03,199
You can see the markings left by what
 

3835
01:09:03,199 --> 01:09:04,950
You can see the markings left by what
appear to be liquid drops on the

3836
01:09:04,950 --> 01:09:04,960
appear to be liquid drops on the
 

3837
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:06,789
appear to be liquid drops on the
underside of the lid here.

3838
01:09:06,789 --> 01:09:06,799
underside of the lid here.
 

3839
01:09:06,799 --> 01:09:09,030
underside of the lid here.
>> A liquid,

3840
01:09:09,030 --> 01:09:09,040
>> A liquid,
 

3841
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,669
>> A liquid,
some kind of liquid.

3842
01:09:11,669 --> 01:09:11,679
some kind of liquid.
 

3843
01:09:11,679 --> 01:09:13,829
some kind of liquid.
So, the liquid

3844
01:09:13,829 --> 01:09:13,839
So, the liquid
 

3845
01:09:13,839 --> 01:09:17,030
So, the liquid
leaks down here and then forms these

3846
01:09:17,030 --> 01:09:17,040
leaks down here and then forms these
 

3847
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:20,229
leaks down here and then forms these
lines with drops.

3848
01:09:20,229 --> 01:09:20,239
lines with drops.
 

3849
01:09:20,239 --> 01:09:22,630
lines with drops.
Now, this isn't a varnish or a polish,

3850
01:09:22,630 --> 01:09:22,640
Now, this isn't a varnish or a polish,
 

3851
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,309
Now, this isn't a varnish or a polish,
at least as not as we know them. And

3852
01:09:24,309 --> 01:09:24,319
at least as not as we know them. And
 

3853
01:09:24,319 --> 01:09:25,990
at least as not as we know them. And
many people have suggested this to me.

3854
01:09:25,990 --> 01:09:26,000
many people have suggested this to me.
 

3855
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:27,829
many people have suggested this to me.
That's not what this is because these

3856
01:09:27,829 --> 01:09:27,839
That's not what this is because these
 

3857
01:09:27,839 --> 01:09:29,669
That's not what this is because these
liquid pooling marks that are shown

3858
01:09:29,669 --> 01:09:29,679
liquid pooling marks that are shown
 

3859
01:09:29,679 --> 01:09:32,390
liquid pooling marks that are shown
here, they are noticeably smoother than

01:09:32,390 --> 01:09:32,400
here, they are noticeably smoother than
 

3861
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,590
here, they are noticeably smoother than
the surrounding material. This is not a

01:09:35,590 --> 01:09:35,600
the surrounding material. This is not a
 

3863
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,550
the surrounding material. This is not a
process nor a chemical that we know of.

3864
01:09:38,550 --> 01:09:38,560
process nor a chemical that we know of.
 

3865
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,269
process nor a chemical that we know of.
No, dumbass. It's not a process nor a

3866
01:09:41,269 --> 01:09:41,279
No, dumbass. It's not a process nor a
 

3867
01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:43,990
No, dumbass. It's not a process nor a
chemical that you know of. Other people

3868
01:09:43,990 --> 01:09:44,000
chemical that you know of. Other people
 

3869
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,309
chemical that you know of. Other people
actually know things. He's dismissing

3870
01:09:46,309 --> 01:09:46,319
actually know things. He's dismissing
 

3871
01:09:46,319 --> 01:09:48,709
actually know things. He's dismissing
the possibility of varnish or polish,

3872
01:09:48,709 --> 01:09:48,719
the possibility of varnish or polish,
 

3873
01:09:48,719 --> 01:09:50,709
the possibility of varnish or polish,
saying that these areas are noticeably

01:09:50,709 --> 01:09:50,719
saying that these areas are noticeably

smoother than the surrounding material,
 

3877
01:09:52,799 --> 01:09:54,470
smoother than the surrounding material,
which is what you would specifically

3878
01:09:54,470 --> 01:09:54,480
which is what you would specifically
 

3879
01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:56,630
which is what you would specifically
expect if it was varnish or polish.

3880
01:09:56,630 --> 01:09:56,640
expect if it was varnish or polish.

These tombs have been open to the public

3882

people in the recent past have done to
 

3887
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,630
people in the recent past have done to
them. Well-intentioned curators did all

3888
01:10:04,630 --> 01:10:04,640
them. Well-intentioned curators did all
 

3889
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,310
them. Well-intentioned curators did all
sorts of things to antiquities in the

sorts of things to antiquities in the
 

3891

01:10:08,470 --> 01:10:08,480
past. Biodegradable materials were
 

3893
01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:10,630
past. Biodegradable materials were
packed with tobacco leaves. Arsenic and

packed with tobacco leaves. Arsenic and
 

3895
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,110
packed with tobacco leaves. Arsenic and
mercury were used to deter pests. And

01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,110
mercury were used to deter pests. And
yes, all sorts of items were coated in

yes, all sorts of items were coated in

He's just saying it's not varnish. Trust

3906
01:10:23,030 --> 01:10:23,040
He's just saying it's not varnish. Trust
 

3907
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,030
He's just saying it's not varnish. Trust
me, bro. Our granite blocks and the

me, bro. Our granite blocks and the
 

3909
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,950
me, bro. Our granite blocks and the
slabs that we use are polished with

3910
01:10:26,950 --> 01:10:26,960
slabs that we use are polished with
 

3911
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,270
slabs that we use are polished with
mechanical devices and varying levels of

house and installed as a kitchen
 

3917
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,030
house and installed as a kitchen
counter. Yeah. And these processes used

3918
01:10:35,030 --> 01:10:35,040
counter. Yeah. And these processes used
 

3919
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,870
counter. Yeah. And these processes used
to be done by hand. Pointing at

3920
01:10:36,870 --> 01:10:36,880
to be done by hand. Pointing at
 

3921
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,630
to be done by hand. Pointing at
something a machine can do doesn't mean

3922
01:10:38,630 --> 01:10:38,640
something a machine can do doesn't mean
 

3923
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,550
something a machine can do doesn't mean
that humans have never done it by hand.

3924
01:10:40,550 --> 01:10:40,560
that humans have never done it by hand.
 

3925
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,550
that humans have never done it by hand.
It's like pointing at a washing machine

3926
01:10:42,550 --> 01:10:42,560
It's like pointing at a washing machine
 

3927
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,310
It's like pointing at a washing machine
and concluding that humans have never

3928
01:10:44,310 --> 01:10:44,320
and concluding that humans have never
 

3929
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,630
and concluding that humans have never
washed clothes by hand. Mechanization

3930
01:10:46,630 --> 01:10:46,640
washed clothes by hand. Mechanization
 

3931
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:48,790
washed clothes by hand. Mechanization
makes processes easier and faster, but

3932
01:10:48,790 --> 01:10:48,800
makes processes easier and faster, but
 

3933
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:50,790
makes processes easier and faster, but
they are always replacing human labor,

3934
01:10:50,790 --> 01:10:50,800
they are always replacing human labor,
 

3935
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,550
they are always replacing human labor,
which in this case was done as recently

3936
01:10:52,550 --> 01:10:52,560
which in this case was done as recently
 

3937
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,870
which in this case was done as recently
as 200 years ago. Now, the orthodox

3938
01:10:54,870 --> 01:10:54,880
as 200 years ago. Now, the orthodox
 

3939
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,110
as 200 years ago. Now, the orthodox
explanation for this polishing is, of

3940
01:10:57,110 --> 01:10:57,120
explanation for this polishing is, of
 

3941
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,350
explanation for this polishing is, of
course, cast in the light of the

3942
01:10:59,350 --> 01:10:59,360
course, cast in the light of the
 

3943
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,430
course, cast in the light of the
primitive capabilities of the ancient

3944
01:11:01,430 --> 01:11:01,440
primitive capabilities of the ancient
 

3945
01:11:01,440 --> 01:11:03,910
primitive capabilities of the ancient
Egyptians. Academics claim that this

3946
01:11:03,910 --> 01:11:03,920
Egyptians. Academics claim that this
 

3947
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:05,830
Egyptians. Academics claim that this
polishing was done simply by rubbing

3948
01:11:05,830 --> 01:11:05,840
polishing was done simply by rubbing
 

3949
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,950
polishing was done simply by rubbing
sand and rocks onto the surface.

3950
01:11:08,950 --> 01:11:08,960
sand and rocks onto the surface.
 

3951
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,189
sand and rocks onto the surface.
While this seems fairly ridiculous, this

3952
01:11:11,189 --> 01:11:11,199
While this seems fairly ridiculous, this
 

3953
01:11:11,199 --> 01:11:13,270
While this seems fairly ridiculous, this
might actually be a plausible technique

3954
01:11:13,270 --> 01:11:13,280
might actually be a plausible technique
 

3955
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,669
might actually be a plausible technique
for polishing a flat surface, never mind

3956
01:11:15,669 --> 01:11:15,679
for polishing a flat surface, never mind
 

3957
01:11:15,679 --> 01:11:17,030
for polishing a flat surface, never mind
how you got the surface flat in the

3958
01:11:17,030 --> 01:11:17,040
how you got the surface flat in the
 

3959
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,430
how you got the surface flat in the
first place. But even if it took years

3960
01:11:19,430 --> 01:11:19,440
first place. But even if it took years
 

3961
01:11:19,440 --> 01:11:22,470
first place. But even if it took years
to achieve, it just isn't realistic when

3962
01:11:22,470 --> 01:11:22,480
to achieve, it just isn't realistic when
 

3963
01:11:22,480 --> 01:11:25,110
to achieve, it just isn't realistic when
you consider the vast array of nonflat

3964
01:11:25,110 --> 01:11:25,120
you consider the vast array of nonflat
 

3965
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:27,350
you consider the vast array of nonflat
surfaces. There are many complex,

3966
01:11:27,350 --> 01:11:27,360
surfaces. There are many complex,
 

3967
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,270
surfaces. There are many complex,
irregular surfaces that are on these

3968
01:11:29,270 --> 01:11:29,280
irregular surfaces that are on these
 

3969
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,590
irregular surfaces that are on these
objects that have been polished just as

3970
01:11:31,590 --> 01:11:31,600
objects that have been polished just as
 

3971
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,070
objects that have been polished just as
well as the flat parts. There is no

3972
01:11:34,070 --> 01:11:34,080
well as the flat parts. There is no
 

3973
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,790
well as the flat parts. There is no
orthodox explanation. There is an

3974
01:11:36,790 --> 01:11:36,800
orthodox explanation. There is an
 

3975
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:38,709
orthodox explanation. There is an
explanation that is fully consistent

3976
01:11:38,709 --> 01:11:38,719
explanation that is fully consistent
 

3977
01:11:38,719 --> 01:11:40,790
explanation that is fully consistent
with all of the evidence we have. Ben

3978
01:11:40,790 --> 01:11:40,800
with all of the evidence we have. Ben
 

3979
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,110
with all of the evidence we have. Ben
describes it as rubbing sand and rocks

3980
01:11:43,110 --> 01:11:43,120
describes it as rubbing sand and rocks
 

3981
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,110
describes it as rubbing sand and rocks
onto the surface, which does indeed

3982
01:11:45,110 --> 01:11:45,120
onto the surface, which does indeed
 

3983
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,189
onto the surface, which does indeed
sound ridiculous, but then again, no

3984
01:11:47,189 --> 01:11:47,199
sound ridiculous, but then again, no
 

3985
01:11:47,199 --> 01:11:49,669
sound ridiculous, but then again, no
archaeologist says this. They do say

3986
01:11:49,669 --> 01:11:49,679
archaeologist says this. They do say
 

3987
01:11:49,679 --> 01:11:52,149
archaeologist says this. They do say
that solicified sandstone, a quartz rich

3988
01:11:52,149 --> 01:11:52,159
that solicified sandstone, a quartz rich
 

3989
01:11:52,159 --> 01:11:54,709
that solicified sandstone, a quartz rich
rock, was used to polish stone because

3990
01:11:54,709 --> 01:11:54,719
rock, was used to polish stone because
 

3991
01:11:54,719 --> 01:11:57,030
rock, was used to polish stone because
fused quartz is very hard. They also

3992
01:11:57,030 --> 01:11:57,040
fused quartz is very hard. They also
 

3993
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:58,950
fused quartz is very hard. They also
suggest that a slurry of mud and sand

3994
01:11:58,950 --> 01:11:58,960
suggest that a slurry of mud and sand
 

3995
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,189
suggest that a slurry of mud and sand
was used applied with a leather lap to

3996
01:12:01,189 --> 01:12:01,199
was used applied with a leather lap to
 

3997
01:12:01,199 --> 01:12:02,950
was used applied with a leather lap to
allow for the polishing of both flat and

3998
01:12:02,950 --> 01:12:02,960
allow for the polishing of both flat and
 

3999
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,350
allow for the polishing of both flat and
rounded surfaces. Why do they say that?

4000
01:12:05,350 --> 01:12:05,360
rounded surfaces. Why do they say that?
 

4001
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,189
rounded surfaces. Why do they say that?
Because quartz sand has been found

4002
01:12:07,189 --> 01:12:07,199
Because quartz sand has been found
 

4003
01:12:07,199 --> 01:12:09,350
Because quartz sand has been found
embedded in the polished surfaces of

4004
01:12:09,350 --> 01:12:09,360
embedded in the polished surfaces of
 

4005
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,590
embedded in the polished surfaces of
ancient drill holes and cores. Some

4006
01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:11,600
ancient drill holes and cores. Some
 

4007
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,590
ancient drill holes and cores. Some
researchers have also documented the use

4008
01:12:13,590 --> 01:12:13,600
researchers have also documented the use
 

4009
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:15,510
researchers have also documented the use
of corundum, one of the hardest minerals

4010
01:12:15,510 --> 01:12:15,520
of corundum, one of the hardest minerals
 

4011
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:17,430
of corundum, one of the hardest minerals
in the world, as an abrasive powder

4012
01:12:17,430 --> 01:12:17,440
in the world, as an abrasive powder
 

4013
01:12:17,440 --> 01:12:19,189
in the world, as an abrasive powder
because it was found embedded in drilled

4014
01:12:19,189 --> 01:12:19,199
because it was found embedded in drilled
 

4015
01:12:19,199 --> 01:12:21,030
because it was found embedded in drilled
limestone surfaces dating to the new

4016
01:12:21,030 --> 01:12:21,040
limestone surfaces dating to the new
 

4017
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,189
limestone surfaces dating to the new
kingdom of Egypt. Corandum doesn't

4018
01:12:23,189 --> 01:12:23,199
kingdom of Egypt. Corandum doesn't
 

4019
01:12:23,199 --> 01:12:24,870
kingdom of Egypt. Corandum doesn't
naturally occur in limestone. So, it

4020
01:12:24,870 --> 01:12:24,880
naturally occur in limestone. So, it
 

4021
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:26,709
naturally occur in limestone. So, it
must have been added. Maybe Ben knew all

4022
01:12:26,709 --> 01:12:26,719
must have been added. Maybe Ben knew all
 

4023
01:12:26,719 --> 01:12:28,790
must have been added. Maybe Ben knew all
of that and just forgot. It's not just

4024
01:12:28,790 --> 01:12:28,800
of that and just forgot. It's not just
 

4025
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:30,870
of that and just forgot. It's not just
the boxes that are polished. We also see

4026
01:12:30,870 --> 01:12:30,880
the boxes that are polished. We also see
 

4027
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,189
the boxes that are polished. We also see
a very fine degree of finishing in

01:12:33,189 --> 01:12:33,199
a very fine degree of finishing in
 

4029
01:12:33,199 --> 01:12:35,510
a very fine degree of finishing in

01:13:10,159 --> 01:13:11,910
only have been alien lasers. Well, Ben,
the curved surfaces don't really pose an

This is one of those things that once

everywhere. The glyphs carved into these
 

4103
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,110
everywhere. The glyphs carved into these
objects display the signature and the

things about ancient Egyptian culture

things about ancient Egyptian culture
 

4135
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,950
things about ancient Egyptian culture
and archaeology. Ancient Egypt was

and archaeology. Ancient Egypt was
 

4137
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,030
and archaeology. Ancient Egypt was
largely an illiterate society. The

largely an illiterate society. The

laborers carving these stones could not

01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,270
complex passages were totally different

01:14:49,270 --> 01:14:49,280
people. And this is well documented in
 

4149
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,189
people. And this is well documented in
the literature. Ben also seems to think

the literature. Ben also seems to think
 

4151
01:14:51,199 --> 01:14:52,870
the literature. Ben also seems to think
that the carving and writing were

that the carving and writing were
 

4153
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:54,550
that the carving and writing were
happening at the same time. They

4154
01:14:54,550 --> 01:14:54,560
happening at the same time. They
 

4155
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,950
happening at the same time. They
weren't. These objects were carved and

weren't. These objects were carved and
 

4157
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:59,030
weren't. These objects were carved and
transported and then scribes would

01:14:59,030 --> 01:14:59,040
transported and then scribes would
 

4159
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,430
transported and then scribes would
inscribe the hieroglyphs. Also, what's

4160
01:15:01,430 --> 01:15:01,440
inscribe the hieroglyphs. Also, what's
 

4161
01:15:01,440 --> 01:15:03,189
inscribe the hieroglyphs. Also, what's
wrong with the explanation that in many

4162
01:15:03,189 --> 01:15:03,199
wrong with the explanation that in many
 

4163
01:15:03,199 --> 01:15:05,990
wrong with the explanation that in many
instances these glyphs were not polished

4164
01:15:05,990 --> 01:15:06,000
instances these glyphs were not polished
 

4165
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:07,910

in order to contrast and be more
 

4167
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,550
in order to contrast and be more

Paris at the Plastic Concord. The
 

4187
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,870
Paris at the Plastic Concord. The
simplest answer is because the writing

4188
01:15:30,870 --> 01:15:30,880
simplest answer is because the writing
 

4189
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,590
simplest answer is because the writing
most likely came later and was done by a

4190

most likely came later and was done by a
 

4191

most likely came later and was done by a
civilization that lacked the same

01:20:15,669 --> 01:20:15,679
introduction of iron into Egypt and
 

4439
01:20:15,679 --> 01:20:17,270
introduction of iron into Egypt and
claiming that there was no way it could

4440
01:20:17,270 --> 01:20:17,280
claiming that there was no way it could
 

4441
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,270
claiming that there was no way it could
have been made without iron. He seems to

4442
01:20:19,270 --> 01:20:19,280
have been made without iron. He seems to
 

4443
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:21,110
have been made without iron. He seems to
be implying that all of the stuff he's

4444
01:20:21,110 --> 01:20:21,120
be implying that all of the stuff he's
 

4445
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:22,950
be implying that all of the stuff he's
talking about could only be accomplished

4446
01:20:22,950 --> 01:20:22,960
talking about could only be accomplished
 

4447
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,430
talking about could only be accomplished
with iron tools. He is wrong, but let's

4448
01:20:25,430 --> 01:20:25,440
with iron tools. He is wrong, but let's
 

4449
01:20:25,440 --> 01:20:27,270
with iron tools. He is wrong, but let's
remember what he says here, that after

4450
01:20:27,270 --> 01:20:27,280
remember what he says here, that after
 

4451
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,590
remember what he says here, that after
the introduction of iron, Egyptians

4452
01:20:29,590 --> 01:20:29,600
the introduction of iron, Egyptians
 

4453
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:31,669
the introduction of iron, Egyptians
certainly developed the ability to do

4454
01:20:31,669 --> 01:20:31,679
certainly developed the ability to do
 

4455
01:20:31,679 --> 01:20:33,910
certainly developed the ability to do
very fine work into hard stone. I'd

4456
01:20:33,910 --> 01:20:33,920
very fine work into hard stone. I'd
 

4457
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,070
very fine work into hard stone. I'd
imagine that being a scribe or a stone

4458
01:20:36,070 --> 01:20:36,080
imagine that being a scribe or a stone
 

4459
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,229
imagine that being a scribe or a stone
carver and writing hieroglyphs was a

4460
01:20:38,229 --> 01:20:38,239
carver and writing hieroglyphs was a
 

4461
01:20:38,239 --> 01:20:40,310
carver and writing hieroglyphs was a
lifelong trade and would have taken

4462
01:20:40,310 --> 01:20:40,320
lifelong trade and would have taken
 

4463
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,390
lifelong trade and would have taken
decades of training to become truly

4464
01:20:42,390 --> 01:20:42,400
decades of training to become truly
 

4465
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,110
decades of training to become truly
proficient. This proficiency in writing

4466
01:20:45,110 --> 01:20:45,120
proficient. This proficiency in writing
 

4467
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,149
proficient. This proficiency in writing
extended even to erasing old glyphs and

4468
01:20:48,149 --> 01:20:48,159
extended even to erasing old glyphs and
 

4469
01:20:48,159 --> 01:20:50,470
extended even to erasing old glyphs and
replacing them. This process is well

4470
01:20:50,470 --> 01:20:50,480
replacing them. This process is well
 

4471
01:20:50,480 --> 01:20:52,229
replacing them. This process is well
demonstrated by an example here at

4472
01:20:52,229 --> 01:20:52,239
demonstrated by an example here at
 

4473
01:20:52,239 --> 01:20:55,110
demonstrated by an example here at
Tannis on this obelisk fragment. See how

4474
01:20:55,110 --> 01:20:55,120
Tannis on this obelisk fragment. See how
 

4475
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:57,270
Tannis on this obelisk fragment. See how
the bird glyph is being blended into the

4476
01:20:57,270 --> 01:20:57,280
the bird glyph is being blended into the
 

4477
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,350
the bird glyph is being blended into the
writing. I think that this is why

4478
01:20:59,350 --> 01:20:59,360
writing. I think that this is why
 

4479
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:01,990
writing. I think that this is why
Ramsy's II seems to have had his name on

4480
01:21:01,990 --> 01:21:02,000
Ramsy's II seems to have had his name on
 

4481
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,149
Ramsy's II seems to have had his name on
everything. Once he tagged it, it was

4482
01:21:04,149 --> 01:21:04,159
everything. Once he tagged it, it was
 

4483
01:21:04,159 --> 01:21:06,470
everything. Once he tagged it, it was
his forever, and we still attribute

4484
01:21:06,470 --> 01:21:06,480
his forever, and we still attribute
 

4485
01:21:06,480 --> 01:21:08,950
his forever, and we still attribute
endless statues and monuments to him.

4486
01:21:08,950 --> 01:21:08,960
endless statues and monuments to him.
 

4487
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:10,790
endless statues and monuments to him.
While I think the truth is more likely

4488
01:21:10,790 --> 01:21:10,800
While I think the truth is more likely
 

4489
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,390
While I think the truth is more likely
that he was just the last guy to write

4490
01:21:12,390 --> 01:21:12,400
that he was just the last guy to write
 

4491
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,310
that he was just the last guy to write
his name on something that was vastly

01:21:14,310 --> 01:21:14,320
his name on something that was vastly

away from actually understanding

away from actually understanding
something about archaeology, only to

4498
01:21:20,390 --> 01:21:20,400
something about archaeology, only to
 

4499
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:23,189
something about archaeology, only to
promptly fall on his face. Yes, Rammeses

4500
01:21:23,189 --> 01:21:23,199
promptly fall on his face. Yes, Rammeses
 

4501
01:21:23,199 --> 01:21:24,709
promptly fall on his face. Yes, Rammeses
did have his name carved into things

4502
01:21:24,709 --> 01:21:24,719
did have his name carved into things
 

4503
01:21:24,719 --> 01:21:26,550
did have his name carved into things
that were older, and other pharaohs did

4504
01:21:26,550 --> 01:21:26,560
that were older, and other pharaohs did
 

4505
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,630
that were older, and other pharaohs did
the same thing. When historians first

4506
01:21:28,630 --> 01:21:28,640
the same thing. When historians first
 

4507
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,390
the same thing. When historians first
read what was written on monuments and

4508
01:21:30,390 --> 01:21:30,400
read what was written on monuments and
 

4509
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:32,550
read what was written on monuments and
in papyrie, they began identifying

4510
01:21:32,550 --> 01:21:32,560
in papyrie, they began identifying
 

4511
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,390
in papyrie, they began identifying
problems that couldn't be resolved using

4512
01:21:34,390 --> 01:21:34,400
problems that couldn't be resolved using
 

4513
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:36,229
problems that couldn't be resolved using
written records alone. And one of the

4514
01:21:36,229 --> 01:21:36,239
written records alone. And one of the
 

4515
01:21:36,239 --> 01:21:37,990
written records alone. And one of the
problems was that there appeared to be a

4516
01:21:37,990 --> 01:21:38,000
problems was that there appeared to be a
 

4517
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,070
problems was that there appeared to be a
missing dynasty in these records.

4518
01:21:40,070 --> 01:21:40,080
missing dynasty in these records.
 

4519
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,470
missing dynasty in these records.
Indeed, nearly every mention of the 25th

4520
01:21:42,470 --> 01:21:42,480
Indeed, nearly every mention of the 25th
 

4521
01:21:42,480 --> 01:21:44,709
Indeed, nearly every mention of the 25th
dynasty of Egypt had been systematically

4522
01:21:44,709 --> 01:21:44,719
dynasty of Egypt had been systematically
 

4523
01:21:44,719 --> 01:21:47,030
dynasty of Egypt had been systematically
removed from written sources. This was a

4524
01:21:47,030 --> 01:21:47,040
removed from written sources. This was a
 

4525
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,030
removed from written sources. This was a
period during which Egypt was ruled over

4526
01:21:49,030 --> 01:21:49,040
period during which Egypt was ruled over
 

4527
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:51,430
period during which Egypt was ruled over
by Nubian kings from modern-day Sudan,

4528
01:21:51,430 --> 01:21:51,440
by Nubian kings from modern-day Sudan,
 

4529
01:21:51,440 --> 01:21:53,910
by Nubian kings from modern-day Sudan,
the so-called age of the black pharaohs.

4530
01:21:53,910 --> 01:21:53,920
the so-called age of the black pharaohs.
 

4531
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,070
the so-called age of the black pharaohs.
After the fall of this dynasty, later

4532
01:21:56,070 --> 01:21:56,080
After the fall of this dynasty, later
 

4533
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,149
After the fall of this dynasty, later
pharaohs set about erasing any mention

4534
01:21:58,149 --> 01:21:58,159
pharaohs set about erasing any mention
 

4535
01:21:58,159 --> 01:22:00,390
pharaohs set about erasing any mention
of this period of rule by outsiders, in

4536
01:22:00,390 --> 01:22:00,400
of this period of rule by outsiders, in
 

4537
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:01,750
of this period of rule by outsiders, in
part because the ancient Egyptian

4538
01:22:01,750 --> 01:22:01,760
part because the ancient Egyptian
 

4539
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,390
part because the ancient Egyptian
culture was extraordinarily xenophobic.

4540
01:22:04,390 --> 01:22:04,400
culture was extraordinarily xenophobic.
 

4541
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,229
culture was extraordinarily xenophobic.
We know that this occurred not by

4542
01:22:06,229 --> 01:22:06,239
We know that this occurred not by
 

4543
01:22:06,239 --> 01:22:08,470
We know that this occurred not by
reading what ancient Egyptians said, but

4544
01:22:08,470 --> 01:22:08,480
reading what ancient Egyptians said, but
 

4545
01:22:08,480 --> 01:22:11,110
reading what ancient Egyptians said, but
by doing archaeology. That's right.

4546
01:22:11,110 --> 01:22:11,120
by doing archaeology. That's right.
 

4547
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,030
by doing archaeology. That's right.
Archaeology doesn't just assume that

4548
01:22:13,030 --> 01:22:13,040
Archaeology doesn't just assume that
 

4549
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:14,629
Archaeology doesn't just assume that
what's written is an accurate account of

4550
01:22:14,629 --> 01:22:14,639
what's written is an accurate account of
 

4551
01:22:14,639 --> 01:22:16,310
what's written is an accurate account of
what happened. If Ben knew anything

4552
01:22:16,310 --> 01:22:16,320
what happened. If Ben knew anything
 

4553
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,310
what happened. If Ben knew anything
about archaeology, he'd know that. But

4554
01:22:18,310 --> 01:22:18,320
about archaeology, he'd know that. But
 

4555
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:20,310
about archaeology, he'd know that. But
he doesn't. Ben doesn't seem to

4556
01:22:20,310 --> 01:22:20,320
he doesn't. Ben doesn't seem to
 

4557
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,310
he doesn't. Ben doesn't seem to
understand that recarving the surface of

4558
01:22:22,310 --> 01:22:22,320
understand that recarving the surface of
 

4559
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,390
understand that recarving the surface of
an obelisk would result in a clear

4560
01:22:24,390 --> 01:22:24,400
an obelisk would result in a clear
 

4561
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:26,629
an obelisk would result in a clear
change in the surface of the obelisk. So

4562
01:22:26,629 --> 01:22:26,639
change in the surface of the obelisk. So
 

4563
01:22:26,639 --> 01:22:29,189
change in the surface of the obelisk. So
his proposal that Rammeses II simply

4564
01:22:29,189 --> 01:22:29,199
his proposal that Rammeses II simply
 

4565
01:22:29,199 --> 01:22:31,750
his proposal that Rammeses II simply
have this entire thing recarved ignores

4566
01:22:31,750 --> 01:22:31,760
have this entire thing recarved ignores
 

4567
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:33,830
have this entire thing recarved ignores
the fact that the glyphs are carved into

4568
01:22:33,830 --> 01:22:33,840
the fact that the glyphs are carved into
 

4569
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:35,669
the fact that the glyphs are carved into
the granite. You can't just erase it

4570
01:22:35,669 --> 01:22:35,679
the granite. You can't just erase it
 

4571
01:22:35,679 --> 01:22:37,990
the granite. You can't just erase it
like a chalkboard. Also, Ben clearly

4572
01:22:37,990 --> 01:22:38,000
like a chalkboard. Also, Ben clearly
 

4573
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,229
like a chalkboard. Also, Ben clearly
says that Ramisees II carved his name in

4574
01:22:40,229 --> 01:22:40,239
says that Ramisees II carved his name in
 

4575
01:22:40,239 --> 01:22:42,550
says that Ramisees II carved his name in
this obelisk. Rammeses was a pharaoh in

4576
01:22:42,550 --> 01:22:42,560
this obelisk. Rammeses was a pharaoh in
 

4577
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:44,229
this obelisk. Rammeses was a pharaoh in
the new kingdom. But the whole point of

01:22:44,229 --> 01:22:44,239
the new kingdom. But the whole point of
 

4579
01:22:44,239 --> 01:22:46,149
the new kingdom. But the whole point of

01:25:49,990 --> 01:25:50,000
years before the writing on this
 

4751
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,629
years before the writing on this
sarcophagus. So at the time the writing

4752
01:25:52,629 --> 01:25:52,639
sarcophagus. So at the time the writing
 

4753
01:25:52,639 --> 01:25:55,350
sarcophagus. So at the time the writing
was made, ancient Egypt had iron tools.

4754
01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:55,360
was made, ancient Egypt had iron tools.
 

4755
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,510
was made, ancient Egypt had iron tools.
Remember a few minutes ago when Ben said

4756
01:25:57,510 --> 01:25:57,520
Remember a few minutes ago when Ben said
 

4757
01:25:57,520 --> 01:25:59,189
Remember a few minutes ago when Ben said
that after the introduction of iron,

4758
01:25:59,189 --> 01:25:59,199
that after the introduction of iron,
 

4759
01:25:59,199 --> 01:26:01,189
that after the introduction of iron,
Egyptians certainly developed the

4760
01:26:01,189 --> 01:26:01,199
Egyptians certainly developed the
 

4761
01:26:01,199 --> 01:26:03,350
Egyptians certainly developed the
ability to do very fine work into hard

4762
01:26:03,350 --> 01:26:03,360
ability to do very fine work into hard
 

4763
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:05,750
ability to do very fine work into hard
stone. So the writing was done at a time

4764
01:26:05,750 --> 01:26:05,760
stone. So the writing was done at a time
 

4765
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:08,470
stone. So the writing was done at a time
when Egypt regularly used iron tools.

4766
01:26:08,470 --> 01:26:08,480
when Egypt regularly used iron tools.
 

4767
01:26:08,480 --> 01:26:10,390
when Egypt regularly used iron tools.
And according to Ben, because they had

4768
01:26:10,390 --> 01:26:10,400
And according to Ben, because they had
 

4769
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,149
And according to Ben, because they had
iron tools, they could have made this

4770
01:26:12,149 --> 01:26:12,159
iron tools, they could have made this
 

4771
01:26:12,159 --> 01:26:14,229
iron tools, they could have made this
stone box. But Ben doesn't think that

4772
01:26:14,229 --> 01:26:14,239
stone box. But Ben doesn't think that
 

4773
01:26:14,239 --> 01:26:16,229
stone box. But Ben doesn't think that
they made the stone box because Ben

4774
01:26:16,229 --> 01:26:16,239
they made the stone box because Ben
 

4775
01:26:16,239 --> 01:26:17,830
they made the stone box because Ben
doesn't know the age of this super

4776
01:26:17,830 --> 01:26:17,840
doesn't know the age of this super
 

4777
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:19,830
doesn't know the age of this super
shitty writing. Since the dating of this

4778
01:26:19,830 --> 01:26:19,840
shitty writing. Since the dating of this
 

4779
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:21,270
shitty writing. Since the dating of this
writing would mean that Egyptians had

4780
01:26:21,270 --> 01:26:21,280
writing would mean that Egyptians had
 

4781
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,350
writing would mean that Egyptians had
iron tools, which Ben says are necessary

4782
01:26:23,350 --> 01:26:23,360
iron tools, which Ben says are necessary
 

4783
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,270
iron tools, which Ben says are necessary
for the production of these boxes, then

4784
01:26:25,270 --> 01:26:25,280
for the production of these boxes, then
 

4785
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,590
for the production of these boxes, then
what is the [\h__\h] problem? It gets

4786
01:26:27,590 --> 01:26:27,600
what is the [\h__\h] problem? It gets
 

4787
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:29,830
what is the [\h__\h] problem? It gets
worse. A minute ago, he showed a cart of

4788
01:26:29,830 --> 01:26:29,840
worse. A minute ago, he showed a cart of
 

4789
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,390
worse. A minute ago, he showed a cart of
Rammeses II and described it as very

4790
01:26:32,390 --> 01:26:32,400
Rammeses II and described it as very
 

4791
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,229
Rammeses II and described it as very
sharp and well- definfined. He's

4792
01:26:34,229 --> 01:26:34,239
sharp and well- definfined. He's
 

4793
01:26:34,239 --> 01:26:36,470
sharp and well- definfined. He's
positive that Rammeses II carved it. So,

4794
01:26:36,470 --> 01:26:36,480
positive that Rammeses II carved it. So,
 

4795
01:26:36,480 --> 01:26:38,149
positive that Rammeses II carved it. So,
we can assume that Ben believes that by

4796
01:26:38,149 --> 01:26:38,159
we can assume that Ben believes that by
 

4797
01:26:38,159 --> 01:26:40,149
we can assume that Ben believes that by
the New Kingdom, Egyptians could carve

4798
01:26:40,149 --> 01:26:40,159
the New Kingdom, Egyptians could carve
 

4799
01:26:40,159 --> 01:26:42,550
the New Kingdom, Egyptians could carve
stone easily enough. But that cartou was

4800
01:26:42,550 --> 01:26:42,560
stone easily enough. But that cartou was
 

4801
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:44,629
stone easily enough. But that cartou was
carved over 1,000 years before the

4802
01:26:44,629 --> 01:26:44,639
carved over 1,000 years before the
 

4803
01:26:44,639 --> 01:26:46,470
carved over 1,000 years before the
writing on this sarcophagus. So the

4804
01:26:46,470 --> 01:26:46,480
writing on this sarcophagus. So the
 

4805
01:26:46,480 --> 01:26:48,550
writing on this sarcophagus. So the
writing he's pretending is so crude and

4806
01:26:48,550 --> 01:26:48,560
writing he's pretending is so crude and
 

4807
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:51,350
writing he's pretending is so crude and

01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,510

4811
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,510
period of time when Egypt actually had
