THIS is How You Know Ancient Egyptians had a Lost Ancient Technology…

Remember when they said Ancient Egyptian stones were so precise, that a Razorblade, or even a hair couldn't fit between them? Well, THIS is what they meant by that. Did the the Egyptians have a lost ancient technology?

So the question becomes, what was the technology? - OR...was it ALIENS? :)

I work in stonemasonry, programming & operating machines that cut all types of stone. Black Granite & quartzite being the most difficult to cut. But cutting isn’t the issue. Even with expensive diamond tipped saws or a water jet at 60, 000 psi, cutting the stone is relatively achievable (obviously technically advanced in terms of tooling) with the tools we use. The issue we have is moving and placing them in position without pieces blowing out when a corner barely touches something. If we pick a piece of granite Bench-top up at either end it can easily just break in two. Although tough to cut it’s incredibly fragile, as veins running through it are far less dense, and easily crumble apart. Bits that fall to the ground are literally collected and glued back into place, as to retain as natural look. All stone edges have a bevel or little rounded edge for structural integrity on the edges. Corners and edges can chip so easily. If you had a 15 tonne block of granite with polished faces and square edges/corners I literally cannot fathom how gentle you’d have to be to manoeuvre it into position without bits just breaking off when bumped even slightly… for all these square corners to be perfectly intact indicates to me very advanced stonemasonry to say the least. & then consider moving them?!! People don’t realise what this weight entails when using such a hard yet fragile material

I've worked in construction even diamond drilling and sawing for 15 years and even with today's technology it's extremely difficult to obtain that level of precision and they seem to be able to do it with ease on a massive scale it's unbelievable to me.

Thanks for all the likes and comments first of all. My observation of disbelief has come from my experience of working in concrete cutting, working with big blocks of reinforced concrete with 40mm steel rebar. No where has any historian or scientist explained how they could cut rose granite with such precision thousands of years ago the most amazing examples of this to me are the stone boxes of the Serapeum of Saqqara let alone how they got the boxes into place. Also to the comments suggesting these blocks where cast or poured that technology does not exist in terms of creating granite or rose granite or any impermeable rock due to the pressures required only found in geological nature.

Sorry if I didn't reply to any comments, having read though the discussion from my initial comment I am humbled to have opened such a debate. Peace 👌

I worked with stone for 4 years... We made pavement, stairs, walls etc. The most difficult thing to do was to connect two pieces on right angle by making a 45 degrees cut on each piece. And we are talking lengths of 30cm tops thickness 5cm max. Using a diamond saw. Even slightest mistake and two pieces don't connect 100%. Sure I could put more effort and time and make it 100% but the point was how much effort it takes with modern tools to connect two tiny surface areas which makes me just gasp when I see those razor thin connections on giant stone blocks... Its literally impossible. I never seen anybody pointing this out in Egypt. Like wtf that's impossible. Ugh this why I want to visit the place myself to see in person all these details then you can appreciate the level of difficulty or should I say impossibility.

i love how they "approximately" know it took 20 years to build a pyramid but they dont approximately know how ANYTHING actually got done.

[DaiElsan]

Inside the Bent Pyramid. Just 0.5 degree out, would show up instantly. They are not just individually cut perfectly. They are cut perfectly to fit and align with the blocks directly next to them. Now that's amazing.

[Eragonking]

The ancients didn’t want to just build something, they wanted to drop the biggest flex on the pinnacle of mankind’s intelligence. The flex is so bad that it’s completely ignored

[kzfittycent]

I had heard of this, but until I saw your photos, I didn't realize just how precise it actually is. Amazing.

[mikehuber]

I spent my childhood getting answers to my questions in school and the rest of my life, questioning those answers

Jimmy: As an Egyptian, I thank you so much for trying to find out and tell us what the REAL story of those things we have all around us in Egypt, which to this day, we do not fully understand, and we foolishly repeat the hype they tell us when we were children. Hope to see you again in Egypt in YOUR country.

[smokeydabear]

Most blocks aren’t even rectangles they are varied in size and shape to fit together like a jig saw to withstand even the strongest earthquake

[mttdms]

Keep in mind that the later dynasties could have uses hieroglyphs or painting as graffiti to basically write a new or false past onto older stones to take the credit for what was lost before the cataclysm. The most megalithic and impressive stones have no artwork on them.

[conrado]

I've been carving stone in restoration for 30 years. A lot of granite too. The method of sawing with sand and water has been used for thousands of years and can be speeded up a lot with skilled workers. But achieving accuracy is absolutely impossible with this method. Runouts of 5 to 20 cms (!) per meter cutting downwards are quite commonly found in old blocks that were not cut with primitive machines such as water wheels but by hand

[yosecretsquirrel]

The mystery is bigger than that expressed here. Add to it that this precision, the shape of stones and many other aspects are duplicated around the world in structures that are of the same era, yet there is no record anywhere that the civilizations involved had any interaction with each other. In Peru, there are examples of where the Inca made additions to these structures where the newer masonry suggests the original technology simply vanished and they werent even able to come close to reproducing the presicion or any aspect of the design. The newer additions are representative of what we would expect to see using hand tools, completely contrasting the original structure. It is obvious to me that who ever had created the technology simply ceased to exist along with the knowledge.

[zerocrutch]

I wish I could go back and see this civilization in its prime.

[raydennis]

Have there been any trace metal elements found along the seams of the blocks? It would appear that any metal tool would leave behind metal residue. Possibly even at a microscopic scale.

[hammerarmament]

I’ve never seen the precision shown in such up close detail before, so I’ve never quite understood how incredible it is. Very wild. Thanks Jimmy!

[saltycracker]

The weird thing is, that the same level of precision could be found overseas in Aztec and Inca temples even though they were seemingly two perfectly separated civilizations.
Check out for example Sacsayhuaman and try to figure out how they built it.

[PeterMasi_Son_Tile]

I’m a 7th generation tile setter. I work with granite, limestone, marble etc and I can say I’m 100% positive all that stone work at Giza was not done with bronze tools!

[kathietirado-chew]

Beyond the massive amount of pyramids, temples and monuments, think about all the underground complexes. Cut 30 to 70 meters into bedrock or limestone bases. Just mind blowing. I’ve been to Egypt and want to go back in light of the information in your videos.
