Ancient artifacts that baffle scientists. #Shorts

How to ancient Egyptians create such amazing items from diorite. Diorite is a very hard material to work with using primitive tools.

[rockinbobokkin]

Diorite being 6 on the Mohs scale means they could grind and polish it with: basically any quartz crystal, marble, granite, or quartzite.
I also doubt your dates presented, and I imagine they didn't use copper, but bronze.

[andresmaynez]

there is a russian channel that only focuses in reproducing these vases, statues and figurines. its not impossible and not that dificult as you make it appear

[Rayq]

The simplest answer, no matter how illogical or improbable that answer, is the best correct answer to your question

[AFowkingPanda]

Diorite is not rare, its simply a lava pocket mineral.

[charleswalker]

Even having better tools doesn't explain the precision of their manufacturing

[tvtothepoint]

This is a perfect example of why we try to get our modern processes into written and reproducible forms instead of relying on "word of mouth" knowledge passed down from person to person.
While it produced many fine craftspersons, and arguably some of the finest pieces of artwork, if you remove the person from the equation, then you also lose the process.

This problem has probably happened several times in the history of mankind, in which we've spent much time in figuring out how it was done, only to lose that knowledge again in events like wars, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

As my wise grandmother liked to say: "we grow so soon old, and so late smart".

Sand made of quartz oil and lots of time to polish and drill. Obviously it is possible the answer is usually the simplest one

Lost ancient technology from ancient highly advanced civilisation

[stueypinnock]

Grinded granite mixed with a resins.. possible the formula been lost or not handed down over the years

[cashgarti]

They used meteoric iron chisels. Metal that fell from the sky so they made statues dedicated to the gods that came from the sky.

come to India you will see tamples not only

[andrews]

Using those tools the artist had to live for 4, 000 years to finish it.
Get a better hypothesis.

[CT-qxnl]

The answer is simple actually. Their tools weren't only copper and wood.

[thetruthexperiment]

These pots are vertically lathed. As a potters wheel is somewhat an additive lathe it seems likely the idea for a subtractive verticals late with Diamond or sapphire bits would probably do it. These pots are from the old kingdom where nobody know anything about the tools.

[johnrathbun]

They created objects out of what they had. We just haven't figured out how they did it.

[allanhastings]

I would love to see archeologists sit on an assembly line and replicate these relics only using methods they preach produced them! Coke & popcorn time😁

[antoninorex]

What was Diorite, during ancient times???

Epoxy Resin or Wood???

[pyotrberia]

If ancient people were only allowed to use wood and copper to carve stone, they would not have been able to make anything out of stone. Luckily, they used stone masonry tools and techniques.

[JayBelafonte]

It’s simple, they weren’t using cooper and wood.

[captainsensiblejr.]

Copper can be hardened by mixing other minerals with the molten copper.
