1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,640 This is outside the Cairo Museum or the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt. 2 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:26,280 And what you're looking at is a dynastic box, likely a sarcophagus, made out of granite, 3 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:31,200 likely from Aswan or the eastern desert of Egypt. 4 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,200 But this, right next to it, this is a pre-dynastic box. 5 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:42,120 This is older than the other one you just looked at, and the precision of its making 6 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,560 is astonishing. 7 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:51,240 You'll notice there are no hieroglyphics on it, and the flatness of the surfaces are 8 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:57,560 something possibly we could do today, but it still would be very difficult in the 21st 9 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,719 century. 10 00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:04,960 So what you're looking at is an example of something created thousands of years prior 11 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:13,280 to the dynastic Egyptians existing in Egypt, and made by a much more ancient culture that 12 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:20,840 Egypt also created structures such as the great pyramids on the Giza Plateau and the 13 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,400 Serapium boxes at Saqqara. 14 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:33,120 Again, with my hand, I can feel an almost perfect curve on the side and here on the 15 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,120 top. 16 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:40,280 This had to have been done with lost ancient high technology. 17 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,359 And here, inside the Cairo Museum, are objects in one corner. 18 00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:53,879 Unfortunately, this is a little out of focus and not in high definition, because... 19 00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:55,799 you're not supposed to film. 20 00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:04,319 But what you're going to see here are the marks of a saw, especially right here. 21 00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:12,239 It's a flexible saw of some kind, cutting into basalt, which is an extremely hard... 22 00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:13,239 Lost ancient high technology. 23 00:02:13,239 --> 00:02:14,239 Well, I repeat everything for you, Tony. 24 00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:15,239 They ended the work, and not like the Romans, they didn't cut it into pieces and use it, 25 00:02:15,239 --> 00:02:16,239 they left it. 26 00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:17,239 It had to be perfect the first time. 27 00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:18,239 If not, we'd just start and do it over. 28 00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:19,239 Thank God they left it for us. 29 00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:20,239 This is the ultimate smoking gun, no content. 30 00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:21,240 I dropped the mic. 31 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:31,379 As was said in the previous clip by Stephen Mailer, the 32 00:02:31,379 --> 00:02:32,379 saw went off course. 33 00:02:32,379 --> 00:02:33,379 Very human trait. 34 00:02:33,379 --> 00:02:34,379 Whoever was operating this saw made a mistake. 35 00:02:34,379 --> 00:02:35,379 This is called the schist disc. 36 00:02:35,379 --> 00:02:36,379 The label on it actually says, lotus display stand or something. 37 00:02:36,379 --> 00:02:37,379 But clearly it's some kind of part of a mechanism of some kind. 38 00:02:37,379 --> 00:02:38,379 And in fact, the stone it's made of is not schist. 39 00:02:38,379 --> 00:02:56,300 It's much more like a 40 00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:01,060 And in fact, the stone it's made of is not schist. 41 00:03:01,060 --> 00:03:04,340 It's much finer and harder. 42 00:03:04,340 --> 00:03:10,939 Geologist Susan Moore believes that this is a metamorphosed silt of some kind, and thus 43 00:03:10,939 --> 00:03:15,020 is very hard and also very resonant. 44 00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:19,340 It clearly once fit on some kind of shaft. 45 00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:22,939 And here's a side view going up to a top view. 46 00:03:23,579 --> 00:03:29,219 Unfortunately, it was really badly repaired because it was found broken. 47 00:03:29,219 --> 00:03:33,460 But originally it would have been technically a very fine product. 48 00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:37,719 And here you see that the blades are not tilted one way or the other. 49 00:03:37,719 --> 00:03:42,379 So it wouldn't pull or push air or water, which is quite curious. 50 00:03:42,379 --> 00:03:49,460 It was found in a cache at the site called Saqqara in the 19th century, I believe. 51 00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:56,379 And the other objects found with it were 30,000 or 40,000 turned hard stone bowls, 52 00:03:56,379 --> 00:04:01,939 which also could not have been created by the dynastic Egyptians because the age of 53 00:04:01,939 --> 00:04:07,219 it is prior to the invention even of the potter's wheel. 54 00:04:07,219 --> 00:04:10,620 It is quite likely that it's not the only one of its kind. 55 00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:13,020 There could have been many more found. 56 00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:19,319 And for some strange reason, an out of place artifact like this is on display in this... 57 00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:24,879 And that's what we were seeking on this trip in Cairo in March 2017. 58 00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:27,199 Copies have been made using 3D printers. 59 00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:31,879 But in order to truly find out what it was and what it did, you would have to make it 60 00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:35,839 out of the exact same stone material. 61 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,839 And that so far has not been tried. 62 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,459 Hopefully it will be in the future. 63 00:04:40,459 --> 00:04:47,100 These they claim were made more than 4,500 years ago, which is impossible because it's 64 00:04:47,180 --> 00:04:55,420 very hard stone and would require the use of a high speed lathe. 65 00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:58,460 This example is very hard diorite stone. 66 00:04:58,460 --> 00:05:00,700 So again, it would have to be turned on a lathe. 67 00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:06,020 The problem is the two protuberances that are on it would get chopped off if you used 68 00:05:06,020 --> 00:05:07,020 a lathe. 69 00:05:07,020 --> 00:05:13,740 And these are very thin examples, very challenging to a 21st century machinist. 70 00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:17,879 So how could they have been made 4,500 years ago? 71 00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:19,540 And here's the side profile. 72 00:05:19,540 --> 00:05:26,460 Again, they would have to have been made on a high speed lathe of some kind. 73 00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:33,100 And here is a very curious example, damaged, maybe 2 millimeters thick, that would have 74 00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:35,639 to again have been made on a lathe. 75 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:37,840 And here the camera comes down on it. 76 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,160 Once again, you see how thin it is. 77 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,780 And when was the damage caused? 78 00:05:41,779 --> 00:05:46,539 Was it caused during the manufacturing or later? 79 00:05:46,539 --> 00:05:51,959 Look at the amazing symmetry of it, the thinness. 80 00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:57,979 And they even date this one at either being 4,500 years old or possibly older. 81 00:05:57,979 --> 00:06:02,459 Now if five or ten of them had been found, then you could call them anomalies. 82 00:06:02,459 --> 00:06:07,939 But they even claim 30 to 40,000 of them were found at Saqqara. 83 00:06:07,939 --> 00:06:15,399 That means there was a major manufacturing facility with a high level of technology. 84 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:18,500 That makes these truly amazing artifacts. 85 00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:24,019 They do not fit in at all with the technology of dynastic Egypt. 86 00:06:24,019 --> 00:06:27,180 The fact that they're on display is quite amazing. 87 00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:31,779 What else do they have hidden away in the warehouses in Cairo? 88 00:06:31,779 --> 00:06:34,980 And this is one of the oddest artifacts of all. 89 00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:40,540 It could partly have been done on a lathe, but the folds suggest another kind of... 90 00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:41,980 altogether. 91 00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:44,920 This is a truly curious piece. 92 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,620 It seems to be made of the same material as the so-called schist disk. 93 00:06:48,620 --> 00:06:54,819 But as far as I know, no one knows where the actual quarry of this stone is. 94 00:06:54,819 --> 00:07:03,020 And not only did they have lathe technology, they also had high speed drills with a... 95 00:07:03,020 --> 00:07:04,180 of diamond tip. 96 00:07:04,379 --> 00:07:08,220 And then this large granite box has tube drills. 97 00:07:08,220 --> 00:07:10,579 You see the little tube drill holes there? 98 00:07:10,579 --> 00:07:16,460 Again, you're talking at least diamond tip technology. 99 00:07:16,460 --> 00:07:23,100 And once again, more hollow tube drills. 100 00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:29,019 Diamond tool technology was not invented, as far as we know, until the 19th century 101 00:07:29,019 --> 00:07:31,899 A.D. 102 00:07:31,899 --> 00:07:34,100 Look at the flatness of these surfaces. 103 00:07:35,020 --> 00:07:38,260 This is either diorite or basalt, likely diorite. 104 00:07:38,260 --> 00:07:41,240 There's no way that that could have been done by hand. 105 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,180 And there's no way it could have been done during dynastic times. 106 00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:49,300 Something like this would be a great example of 21st century technology. 107 00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:53,500 And yet they label it as if it was made by the dynastic Egyptians. 108 00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:56,740 Do they think we're really that stupid? 109 00:07:56,740 --> 00:08:02,620 What is clear is that the dynastic Egyptians found this object and then they carved their 110 00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:04,899 hieroglyphics into the surface. 111 00:08:04,899 --> 00:08:10,300 The hieroglyphics are not as sophisticated as the surfaces themselves. 112 00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:13,060 And that we see over and over again. 113 00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:15,860 Found objects recycled. 114 00:08:15,860 --> 00:08:23,780 And then the curiosity of the elongated headed sculptures of the Amarna or Akhenat... 115 00:08:23,780 --> 00:08:27,699 It would appear that Akhenaten was trying to tell us something. 116 00:08:27,699 --> 00:08:31,699 Possibly that his ancestors looked like this? 117 00:08:31,779 --> 00:08:37,299 Contrary to popular belief, the mummy of Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and the six daughters 118 00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:38,539 have never been found. 119 00:08:38,539 --> 00:08:43,299 So we have no tangible evidence that they themselves had elongated heads. 120 00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:50,340 However, Akhenaten is clearly telling us something. 121 00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:56,740 So join us in March of 2018 as we return to Egypt to look at these curious objects and 122 00:08:56,740 --> 00:09:03,779 other examples of things that do not fit the typical and standard record of history.
