How were the Perplexing Giza Pyramids' Granite Blocks Created?

Egyptologists claim that the perplexing granite stone works on the Giza Plateau were carved with bronze hand tools in the dynastic times. But many experienced stonemasons and construction professionals argue that is simply impossible, because the extreme precision presented at these ancient sites can hardly be matched even if created with modern technologies.

If ancient Egyptians did not carve and position these large granite blocks on the Giza plateau, and instead they just inherited and repurposed them, then the real creators must have lived before the dynastic Egyptians. Was it a lost advanced civilization and if so how advanced were they? What methods did they use to create these majestic granite works? Are there clues onsite to help us decipher how the amazing masonry was done?

I spoke to my dad, a retired builder about the granite blocks a couple of years ago. He suggested that they were caste on site. I would never have thought of that, and I had forgotten that he said this. Makes sense. How are you, Tina? Still in NY?

I click on your videos instantly whenever I can now. Love the show. Thank you!

This is the best explanation I've heard so far. There's no way this could all be done with a hammer and chisel.

To make recon granite requires crushed stone, and crushing large amounts of granite would take more energy than quarrying and cutting.

The unfinished obelisk in the granite quarry at Aswan raises questions, though.
Like, why does it even exist? I wouldn't expect them to mold the pieces there, then move them hundreds of miles. And if they could cast granite, why carve an obelisk?

Wow! What a fascinating podcast. I’m 77 and born in Aberdeen, Scotland, a city built of granite with some wonderful buildings. I wish some of the old granite quarrymen and builders were still around to hear them discuss your podcast. I’ll be going to the ornate buildings to see if I can detect casting. But every block would have been shaped at Rubislaw Quarry. Marischal College is the second biggest granite building in the world (the largest being the Escorial in Spain). My father was a builder and specialised in precast concrete and steel erecting, steel reinforced concrete. I wish he were here too to watch this and your other amazing podcasts. You give an insight into these ancient structures otherwise missing. Thank you very much! 🏛️🏛️🏛️

The knobs on the stones/blocks could be the leftover of a casting or molding process when the blocks were created. Molds or frames could have been used in making the blocks, the liquid stone material would be poured into the mold through the opening, as it firmed the stone mix may have expanded rising up through the opening the mix was poured through, leaving the knobs or nodules we see today.

The granite casing pieces weren't carved to fit the limestone, the limestone was carved to fit the unflattened granite. Shaping the softer rock saved a lot of work .

Hello, although I agree on most of your comments, I wouldn't say that the recess on the Manicure pyramid face was done when the stone were soft. It rather seems that it was... machined. That's my feeling.
Thanks Tina for your well thought videos and explanation. I follow you

[jonsimblett]

Another excellent presentation, thank you Tina, similarities between old and new construction techniques have probably not changed much over the ages. Perhaps those fine dividing lines between blocks could be due to shrinkage of the setting granite based concrete, minimal but noticeable.
Great video, thank you again.

Imagine an ancient Egyptian man cutting 4 millimeters into a stone after an hour and then looking down and deciding to just keep on doing that for days on end just to get one stone cut.

[heinpereboom]

You are absolutely right, a lot of stones are cast concrete.
That is why these stones fit together exactly.
Moreover, you can make concrete from almost any material, just crush it and mix it with cement and pour it.
The stones that are spherical seem to have been cast in a kind of bag as a casting mold.
It is interesting to know what material they would have used for this casting mold.

Many Egyptologists and others tell fairy tales of advanced unknown techniques.
For example, you can also make a drill hole in granite with a wooden stick and a round copper plate at the end, that is just a hollow drill, and with that you can drill very easily in concrete that has not yet hardened, not an advanced technique.
So copper may have been used, but not for sculpting.
Steel hollow drills have been used in metalworking for a long time and I have them at home in my workshop, haha.
My neighbor was a plasterer in the restoration of old buildings.
I was amazed at the speed and accuracy with which he could make things from plaster and also concrete.
He made a crooked wall with holes exactly straight and flat only with a spatula and cement.
I measured that with a long wire of 7.5 meters in various directions.
No Egyptologist could ever have understood that.

I am glad that you are realistic and it is also nice to just hear the truth on youtube by a critical and logical thinking person.
My compliments.

100% agree. It is the obvious conclusion. Also, it appears we don't need to invoke high technology. Natron occurs naturally in Egypt, and heated natron can be used to create synthetic granite. The natron can apparently even be used to soften stone for excavation, which might explain some odd tool marks. All you need is a bellows and sufficient fuel to reach the needed temperature, which is not that high. You'd need something similar to make glass, which the ancient Egyptians also did. This doesn't explain the predynastic stone vases, which appear to be from natural stone, but it does explain how weights were carried, in that it's much easier to carry crushed stone than large blocks.

Casting/softening seems inescapable however flat mating surfaces are a problem. I recall a group did analysis of some stone looking for evidence of non natural stone and found none but if you didn't find that report perhaps it was false. The most important problem to me is lack of evidence of the civilization, tooling, energy etc required for the possibly billions of tons of processed ancient stone works on the planet. Another unknown is the force necessary to fragment the very large granite statues. Sure looks like someone got ticked off. Have you done a study on the 'cart' tracks such as on Malta and other places like Texas? Excellent work as usual.

[criticalthinkingtryit]

Glad this info is getting popular around the world. A people who had no pulley or wheel did not build these structures.

[Cycleplayer]

You rlly do excellent work. I absolutely love your down to earth theories.

[willsteele]

Great work Tina! Leave to you confirm my suspicion that they were casted or extruded like toothpaste🤔. Bravo 👏!

[Kchannel]

Also the so amazing vases of diorite 😂that many touristic guide call them " cut laser vases" without any analysis or whatsoever!!!
Thank you again Tina for your amazing eyes and knowledge.
By the way...your wonderful channel is for sure shadow banned.
But don't warry! Keep carry on 💐

Always love your efforts to provide logical hypotheses and arguments. As you say at 2:00 "this discussion should boil down to reality and practicality". To that end, I think a worthwhile followup video would be on the availability of material to use for cast granite, or practical methods to create that material (e.g., grinding). The goal, of course, would be to show that such methods were not only possible, but also practical (i.e., material creation/gathering effort + casting effort will be less than efforts required to quarry, transport, carve, and place solid granite blocks).

Hi Miss Curious. Nice to see you again. Thanks for the great video!
