1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:28,760
So we're at a sight called

2
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,760
Abu Ghrab, which is near the geese plateau.

3
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,080
The geese plateau is massive, we're actually on the plateau.

4
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:51,000
Abu Seer, the background, and this is the place that has the fascinating round bowls,

5
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,440
and then this thing called the Hokkaip.

6
00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:02,840
So I've been told by use of the Kemat school that Hotepe means energy, and this is one of the finest

7
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:17,800
examples of lost ancient high technology in action.

8
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:29,920
The consists of five pieces of calcite, or heavy quartz, latent, alabaster of a type.

9
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,720
But it's supposedly the only one of its kind, or the only one of its kind that still left.

10
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,360
This is where we definitely see evidence of a tube drill.

11
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,880
You see the diameter of it here.

12
00:01:45,880 --> 00:02:05,840
And these beautiful shaped curves, and what were flat surfaces.

13
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,880
This is tube drilling machining mark.

14
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,320
And here is an edge of another one.

15
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,320
Yeah?

16
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Right there.

17
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:29,320
So if we see the process, this tube drilling was coming and scooping cutting the stone.

18
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,320
That's all from all the sun.

19
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,800
So how this piece was manufactured, with that kind of technology that was never mentioned

20
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,800
in the ancient Egyptian depictions.

21
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:48,360
So also notice that they carefully selected the stone, cut it, and used it so that the layers

22
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:55,240
are horizontal around the entire masses.

23
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,680
This phenomenon of this one was Hotepe construction.

24
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:12,340
It's also aligned to the cardinal points as in use of his just said, not true north,

25
00:03:12,340 --> 00:03:27,040
but magnetic north, but the four cardinal directions.

26
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,440
And not just that as magnificent as it is, there's also evidence of ancient core drilling

27
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:49,040
as well, such as this example.

28
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,880
And actually right next to it, fortunate for us.

29
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,040
But unfortunate for the stone is there's a cross section.

30
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,920
One of the two drill core holes is broken.

31
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:15,440
But for us, we can see the pattern, the vertical striations, possibly of the cutter in action.

32
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:24,080
And also the incredibly curious bowls, which have holes in them.

33
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,680
And even more significant are the ones over to this side.

34
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,840
So these are various tonishing.

35
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:38,040
Again, it's the calcite, possibly alabaster.

36
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:51,680
They weren't originally in rows like this.
