Month: September 2024

While I was in Florida for the scanning electron microscopy work, I also sat down with Matt Beall and Russ Allen for a chat on the Limitless Podcast!

Recorded exactly one year to the day from my first time on Matt’s show. Very enjoyable discussion, as well as a chance to catch up on Matt’s latest additions to his epic collection of Ancient Egyptian vases. We talk vases (obviously), the SEM work, as well as several other topics. Give it a watch and Matt a follow over on his channel, he’s got some great guests lined up, and quite the professional setup!

I recently had the chance to examine fragments of Ancient Egyptian hard stone vases under a Scanning Electron Microscope. For those of you supporting UnchartedX via Patreon or YouTube Channel memberships you would have seen my live updates while I was in Florida doing this work.

Many thanks to Dr Max Zamilov who volunteered his time, expertise, and equipment to make this happen. The results were certainly interesting! I did a YouTube livestream yesterday to go over the preliminary results. I am working on a more produced and researched video on the results, but check this out if you’re interested. It’s a livestream, and I started the roll in 8 minutes before it was scheduled to start, so if you don’t like cool images set to good music then skip forward 8 minutes to the start.

I also made a youtube short, if you want the TLDR:

Watching raw footage from my recent Egypt trip – specifically the new excavations at Abu Sir and Ghorub! Many thanks to Travis for his editing!

Make sure to sub over at UnchartedXLive – there are plenty more videos like this going up regularly!
