Most people know of the great construction achievements of the dynastic Egyptians such as the pyramids and temples of the Giza Plateau area as well as the Sphinx. Many books and videos show depictions of vast work forces hewing blocks of stone in the hot desert sun and carefully setting them into place. However, some of these amazing works could simply not have been made by these people during the time frame that we call dynastic Egypt.
Up until the 7th century BC there was very little iron present in Egypt, as this material only became commonly used once the Assyrians invaded at that time; in fact, the ancient Egyptians regarded iron as an impure metal associated with Seth, the spirit of evil who according to Egyptian tradition governed the central deserts of Africa. A few examples of meteoric iron have been found which predate the Assyrians, but this consists largely of small ornamental beads.

That is actually pretty good, and I get your drift. :)
Yet “technological methods and tools” themselves are still advancing when not suppressed.
Maybe they found cheaper and quicker ways. If I look at a hammer my grandpa owned and one from home depot. I see the older hammer is much better made and will likly out last the new hammer. But then again nail guns.
Absolutely.
More on whom they describe as the original peoples to undertake these magnificent endeavors.
Two Parts...
Sounds like voodoo to me.
I’d be more inclined to believe extraterrestrial intervention.
I’m not sayin’ it was aliens.
But, it was aliens.
Chemistry would not leave cut marks.
“The megalithic period has been poorly studied and expressed.”
Much of it is being outright hidden and suppressed. I have a few friends who do have the indisputable credentials and have been to all these sites personally. There is so much truth about this reality they would like to share but it would be the end of their career if they did.
Yep. You don’t necessarily need something harder than granite to cut granite either. Water can cut granite, and water is certainly not anywhere near as hard as granite. So if people are inventive enough, a lack of iron tools is not an absolute impediment.
“It’ is illogical when you have a culture hellbent on creating their own very very fine artistic works yet the older works are even more advanced?”
How many painters these days would you say are on par with Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Vermeer, or Rembrandt?
I guess aliens must have made all those old oil paintings, eh?
And there lies the problem with the official narrative. The newer stuff can be explained with the tools they had available at that particular time. While some of the older stuff could not even be reproduced with the technology and modern tools we have at our disposal even right now.
Could be both. Chemistry to soften the stone and tools to cut it.
Anything the ancients have done we could also do. Name one artifact that we couldn’t produce.
“Did they all of a sudden “forget how” to create the previous much finer works? They decided to go backwards in skills and pride of craftsmanship rather than advance?”
The world is doing that now.
I didn’t say anything about Aliens at all. I said earlier more advanced culture.
That is a poor analogy because we can indeed reproduce these works of art. There have been hundreds of forgeries painted which were almost impossible to tell the difference. Aliens are not painting these forgeries either, but the skills to do so are still part of our modern culture.
Forget about the “unfinished obelisk”:
The project was directed by a woman!
It was never going to succeed an the workers just did what they were told and never tried to succeed.
You can’t argue with a woman. So you go along.
‘
Seriously, of course it’s astonishing what those old guys did so long ago.
Let me find the source videos again and I will get them to you, there are several on this exact topic. But all my bookmarks are in the old computer. There are indeed some examples of stone work so fine and exact that they are deemed by the stone experts it would be impossible for us to reproduce even now with power tools. The only thing close would be lasers.
Ever seen paintings from the Renaissance vs modern art?
Fascinating counterpoint to orthodox archaeology.
Fascinating. Thanks. 20 minutes in.
People assume older generations were more stupid than us.
They were just as smart, if not smarter.
When people say Such and such could not be done with the tools of the time, they are usually wrong. We may simply not know the techniques they used with those tools, or all the simple tools they had at their disposal.
When I look into these claims, they usually fail because they make assertions that cannot be proven, such as “this could not be done”.
Or, This is impossible with out advanced technology.
