1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
just

2
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:44,359
So we're on the island of Philae at the
dynastic Egyptian temple of Isis. This is

3
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:50,079
actually a reconstruction when they created
the Aswan High Dam. I forget

4
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:55,599
when that was. This temple was going to wind
up being submerged underwater

5
00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:01,119
because of the dam and the creation of what
is now Lake Nasser. And so they

6
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:06,599
literally took the whole temple apart and
shipped it to its present location

7
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:12,719
on the island of Philae. And it's an amazing
example of how people can, in a

8
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:17,519
respectful way, take something ancient apart
and put it back together. So the

9
00:02:17,519 --> 00:02:23,319
Aswan area, which is where we are, has
possibly the largest deposit of granite

10
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:30,560
stone anywhere in Egypt, and especially
dynastic Egypt. But this whole temple is

11
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:36,120
made out of sandstone and the sandstone is
from about 20 miles away. So the

12
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,799
question is, if the dynastic Egyptians carved
granite, then why didn't they

13
00:02:41,799 --> 00:02:46,479
simply use granite in order to make this
construction? The reason is because they

14
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:50,639
didn't have the technology to shape granite,
so they had to use sandstone,

15
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:56,239
which they could manipulate and alter with
their bronze chisels. Also notice

16
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:01,359
that the columns are made out of sections
like this, maybe two feet high.

17
00:03:01,359 --> 00:03:07,839
And the curious thing is that there are
granite pillars in Egypt which are made

18
00:03:07,839 --> 00:03:13,079
out of one piece. Granite is much harder and
the fact that they're made out of one

19
00:03:13,079 --> 00:03:20,279
piece and the granite is much harder honestly
tells us, and they are even

20
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,400
agreed by archaeologists and Egyptologists to
be from an older time

21
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,439
period, but they think it's dynastic. But
since the Egyptians did not have the

22
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:35,280
technology to be able to shape granite in a
fine manner, then that also tells us

23
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,520
that those granite pillars could very well be
much, much, much older and made

24
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,520
by a culture that had lost ancient high
technology.

25
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,280
All the time, Ramses II did this.

26
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Ramses II came in here and actually worked.

27
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280
He did? Ramses did?

28
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,280
Ramses II did. His name was Ramses II.

29
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:19,279
That stone that people were making the
chanting by touching is called, and

30
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:25,279
what's called, the Holy of Holies. It is the
very end of this temple and is made

31
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:31,279
out of granite. So whereas the rest of the
construction is all sandstone, the

32
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:37,279
symbolism of granite was used in the
so-called Holy of Holies, which is the

33
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:43,279
highest point, the deepest point of the
temple. The symbolism, I don't know what

34
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:49,279
that is, but again what we do know is that
the much older builders in Egypt

35
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,279
before the dynastic Egyptians ever appeared,
who did the massive megalithic

36
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:59,279
constructions, only used super hard stone,
much harder than sandstone, such as

37
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:06,279
granite, basalt, and quartzite in order to
make all of their constructions. And

38
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,279
those stones I just spoke of, granite,
quartzite to some degree, but also

39
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:17,279
basalt, react very well with sound, with
acoustics. So it's quite possible that

40
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,279
the super ancient builders of ancient Egypt
were constructing their temples for

41
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,279
some kind of energetic or acoustic purpose.
Still trying to figure out what

42
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,279
exactly they were doing. The problem is we
don't even know how they did the work

43
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,279
in the first place, because some of the
technology that would have had to have

44
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,279
been employed to do their work in these hard
materials is literally beyond

45
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,279
present 21st century technology.
