1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,060
you

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
very smooth cut

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
yeah

4
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
right? Can you see it from here?

5
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
so it means that the tool they were using

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
advanced tool

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
maybe not a huge saw

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
but it was a device

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
creating what we call it a rough cut

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
it's not very smooth

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
so the isolation that we see

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
is not because

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
of the

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
natural layer

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
so what you're looking at is

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
dynastic Egyptian time

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
and even Roman

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
and more modern

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
techniques for

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
cutting and breaking the stone

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
you see those channels

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
are cut

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
then a flaw is created

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
by putting wooden wedges

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
into these notches

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
and then water is applied

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
the wood expands

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
and causes

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
the wood to swell

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
and a crack to be formed

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
as I just said

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
the deep bedding ground is deep

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
so when you're estimating on the

34
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
that holds to the shin of the body

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
you can go in there

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
you can go next to it

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
1100 tons estimated

38
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
that's estimated

39
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
110 feet long

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
harder!

41
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
work!

42
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
work!

43
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
and that is literally

44
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
the technique that archeologists

45
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
insist was used

46
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
to shape

47
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
the unfinished obelisk

48
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
one stone hammer

49
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
which is

50
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
was used to pound away

51
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
at the granite

52
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
the pounded

53
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
is used to

54
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
cut the granite

55
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
the pounding hammer

56
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
is about the same hardness

57
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
as the granite itself

58
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
so therefore it would be

59
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
the equivalent of trying to cut

60
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
a piece of wood with another

61
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
piece of wood

62
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
not too effective

63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
so you saw the evenness

64
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
of those grooves

65
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
about

66
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
between a foot and a foot and a half

67
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
in width and cup shaped

68
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
it's more probable that there was

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
some kind of ancient

70
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
pie technology that was used

71
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
to do the shaping

72
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
possibly ultrasound

73
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
or another technology that we have not

74
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
yet reinvented but did exist

75
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
and that's what we're going to

76
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
be doing today

77
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
not yet reinvented but did exist

78
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
before dynastic

79
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Egyptian times

80
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
each thing is the best thing I've ever seen

81
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
to the hardest stuff

82
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
nothing is going to be crushed as Susan was
saying

83
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
the surface is useless

84
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
if you're using this to add any details

85
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
for statues or anything the fragility of it

86
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
of course

87
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
it's hollow underneath it already

88
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
but the core of it the hard one is what

89
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
we looked for that means

90
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
all the solid beautiful granite stones

91
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
that we see for statues and obelisks

92
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
are coming from the core of the mountain

93
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
not from the surface

94
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
there's actually a second obelisk which also
was unfinished

95
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
and it's the same thing

96
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
the horizontal distance was achieved

97
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
for width but when they tried to do

98
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
the vertical to match it

99
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
they found that there was a horizontal

100
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
crack and so it too

101
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
was abandoned

102
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
dynastic Egyptians did not have

103
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
the technology in any way

104
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
shape or form to do this work

105
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
harder

106
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I know but the barrel is

107
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
and the sequence that's matching each other

108
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
one, six, ten

109
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
one, seven, eight

110
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
you're not leaving, Brian's here

111
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
you're lying to me

112
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
what's in it, bro?

113
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
pull it up over your head

114
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000
hold on, hold on

115
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
yep

116
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
it's definitely not pounding, you can't get
in on that angle

117
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000
better

118
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
so as you can see the conventional

119
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
explanation

120
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
is quite silly

121
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
and as far as I know

122
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
no academics have actually tried

123
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
to replicate

124
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
the making of even a relatively

125
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
small obelisk

126
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
say ten feet long

127
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
using the Dolarite

128
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Pounder

129
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
technology

130
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
I think it's an obvious example

131
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
of something that the dynastic

132
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Egyptians found in place

133
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
when they arrived about

134
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
5000 years ago

135
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
and there was nothing they could do with it

136
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
so it was left

137
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
see some of the grooves in

138
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
the unfinished obelisk

139
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
those were attempts possibly by the Romans

140
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
to break it into chunks

141
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
and they were unsuccessful as well

142
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
from Aswan

143
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
