HOW?

This is one of the rose-granite unfinished obelisks lying in the Aswan Quarry. The scoop marks are almost 1 meter wide on both sides & red vertical lines can be seen on the quarry walls leading down into the scoops. Guide of Egypt believes this may be a sign of excessive heat, possibly due an ultra-sonic cutting tool. Did the ancient architects have the ability to soften granite like marshmallow? Did they use a tool that could scoop out granite like ice cream? According to the archaeological record, the dynastic Egyptians (3000 BC) possessed only copper/ iron chisels & hammers which rank between 3-4 on the “Mohs scale of hardness.” How could they have drone this to rose granite that is much harder, ranking between 7-8 on the same scale? Did the dynastic Egyptians posses lost tech that we are unaware of, or did an earlier megalithic civilization do this?

Water, it is the sharpest tool there is .

[OkieOrganix]

Them copper chisels man. Just wait the next generation will think we used aluminum cans and plastic bottles as tools of our trade.

[garyhyndman]

I hope these mysteries are cleared up before my time on this planet is up.

Granite melts at around 1000 degrees C.They should analyze that Rock for structural alterations like Glass/Obsidian.

[chriscorbin]

The fact they knew how to move these huge blocks when finished is unbelievable.

"Be water my friend"... from the man himself

[johnnycondezo]

Fueron una civilización muy antigua, con mucha capacidad intelectual y alta tecnología para realizar estos trabajos

[crztrtldck]

A lot of people seem to believe this was done by water. This is the underside of the abandoned obelisk in Egypt. The walls have a similar feature.

Look at more videos of the abandoned or unfinished obelisk in Egypt. Its amazing.

They used their fingernails. People were just that tough back then lol.

When I was a kid I helped my dad a lot at the automotive shop we have still to this day and I remember messing around with a sandblasting gun we still have for cleaning radiators, but in my endless curiosity I would blast everything I could get my hands on so I grabbed my dad's wooden hammer and blasted the handle and because of the hard and soft parts of the Rings it would make patterns like the ones in this granite. Just a thought, I mean they had plenty of sand around right? What if they harnessed air power, somehow compressed it, and used it with sand to cut the granite?

[paulgirard]

Are they not all buit on an inclined? This makes sense they would have created water/sand blasting channeled in copper or wood conduits to erode rocks.

"Hey, man, i know you said to narrow it down to 3 inches, but the safety supervisor told me i wasn't allowed to crawl under there again without proper PPE."

[CTDMSSY]

Everyone saying it formed from water 🤣
never ever seen water corrosion leave behind tool markings. ... wake up ppl.

[RonCobb-codr]

you can see the scoop marks like everywhere else on the planet. obviously they had a technique that softened the stone wherever they needed.
probably done with a combination of sound frequency and light or maybe heat.

[Mrpallekuling]

These scoop marks have been found in several other places. They must provide a clue if you examine this stones very closely. In other places the width of the scoop marks is the same. So, this excludes, for example, water and vibration as far as I can understand.

Considering there is an unfinished obelisk at Aswan, in situ, on its side, its easy to see how at some point it would have to be removed and separted from the quarry itself. These pictures simply look like this was near the point of being finished and seperated. Like how model planes/cars come in those plastic things ready to break off. This looks like that.

If you were going to seprate a huge, carved rock from the ground in which it was carved, it would HAVE to go through this point at some point.

[johnweaver]

Water may have been a small part, but the scoop marks are consistent everywhere around this obelisk. Water erosion does not look like this at all.

[RazorRedPresa]

Some people think they knew how to soft rocks, I think it could have been the other way around. They knew how to solidify soft ground like the earth does naturally.
