Serapeum Series – part 2A – The BOXES! types, stone hardness, and machining

The first time I tried to make part 2 of this series, which was meant to focus exclusively on the boxes, it ended up at over 45 minutes! There is a lot to say about these boxes, but I also want to make consumable content. I’ve decided to break part 2 down into sub-chapters, focusing on specific aspects of these amazing works of art.

This is part 2A, and I focus on the types of boxes in the Serapeum, their stone types and hardness, and also take a look at some of the machining marks, and do a bit of debunking on the most popular mainstream theories for how they were made.

More sub-chapters coming soon… Please help me out and consider supporting me via the value-for-value model, if my work is worth anything to you, you can return some of the value to me via http://unchartedx.com/support

  1. Ben: I want to send you a photo I took in China this summer. I discovered your channel after returning from my trip. I have been to Bolivia and Peru and have seen the sites you have been to. I have been to others you may not have been to. While at Puma Punku (1977) (By the way, I speak Aymara), I was quite baffled at what I was seeing. I understood that advanced technology was required to produce what I was seeing.

    Anyway… back to China. How do I send the photo to you? It is of stone from a much older construction used later along a waterway as part of a waterfront. I saw other similar examples which I did not get photos of. I know what you’re thinking; ‘How could that be?’ I was fumbling with my new iPhone camera.

    I am a subscriber and I very much like and appreciate your work.

    Dean
