Check out the link to an excellent article just released with further analysis of the scanned granite vase. I was very happy to read this, it’s EXACTLY what we had hoped would happen with the public release of the STL data. Mark at unsigned.io has furthered our understanding of just how remarkable this ancient artifact is – and there are some jaw dropping insights here.
I think a lot of this work shows design intent – in that the artifact must have been designed in some system and then fabricated, rather than just created, by hand and eye, with primitive tools. Of course, when it comes to the many examples of ancient precision and technology, this has been my hypothesis all along, and I have to say it is very gratifying to see this reflected in the data. The implications of this data are truly staggering for our understanding of history – which I suppose is the real reason behind some of the mainstream resistance to any of these ideas, or this data.
Very highly recommended!
Also, if you’re a twitter user, one of my very own Patrons Marián Marčiš @mariusderomanu3 (on twitter) is also doing excellent work and analysis of the vase!
Cheers,
