Ancient Egyptians had drills #history #facts

This is one heck of a comment section and I'd love to let it keep going, but a few things need to be said before someone else brings them up:
No, those holes do not have markings consistent with drill bits, they have markings consistent with a spinning pipe.
Yes, the holes were occasionally found with cores (the image shown in the video actually shows where it was snapped off), which would be impossible to have if a drill bit was used.
Yes, granite is harder than copper, but quartz sand is harder than granite. Even if it wasn't, you can grind down a diamond with chalk if you're patient enough.
Yes, it would have taken a long time, that's why we don't find a lot of them. If it was as easy as pulling out an electric drill, we would have found a lot more of them.

Copper sucks at cutting through rock takes to long

Is there any truth in that the markings being spiral and therefore the drill would be much more efficient than what you are explaining. I really would like to know your thoughts. Thank you!

Where the fuck did they find a perfectly circular copper pipe

[BatCavProductions]

it's granite that there drilling threw granite it's harder than steel not iron not copper STEEL this is the theory behind it you can't drill steel with a bow saw we can when we put our modern drill bits again back to the theory of how wasn't wood against granite and it for sure wasn't copper

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's a historical theory. Science works by generating theories capable of falsification. Calling a theory a conspiracy theory is a way of denigrating without analysis. Furthermore, you have hardly addressed all the evidence that underlies past advanced civilization theories in your short video. Being sarcastic doesn't make you appear intelligent, just arrogant.
