10,000 words and (I hope) nearly done with the script for a deep dive back into the evidence for machining in Ancient Egypt. A focus on this remarkable granite piece at Abu Rawash, its witness marks and connections to other evidence. Cut radially in two axis, it’s concave, with clear kerfs and striations. Bit of a mind bender.
Been deep in this stuff recently, hopefully new video coming in the next couple weeks. For patrons, channel members etc, in the next couple of days I will record a supporter-only video going over what I’ve been working on and get into the compelling evidence behind this and other machined pieces of hard stone.
Hi Ben,
Hope you don’t mind me getting in touch. Just noticed your new 10,000 word article is nearly ready. Looking forward to reading it.. 🙂
I finished a 5 Yr book project last year. Self published which was probably a mistake as I’m not connected on social media and had no idea how hard ithe marketing and am not comfortable.promoting myself.
Anyhow, your research in Anatolia amd egypt is what connects this message to my book. ‘Zep-Tepi: The binding of time and space’. I would be grateful if you would accept a free copy to peruse over.
I recently got the thumbs up from Graham Hancock and he has a pretty good write up for it on his site. https://grahamhancock.com/whitakera1/ which explains it quite well.
If you find it interesting or worthy, I would very much appreciate a thumbs up on your website. Any help would be gratefully received.
Very best regards and keep up the good work,
Alex whitaker.
Cheers Alex, thanks for the offer! I’ll check out the review.

Hi Ben, thanks.
Sorry for getting in touch here, I wasn’t sure where was the right place.
Your welcome to delete my post to keep the feed clean.
Best regards
Alex
Has Ben checked out the Plain of Jars in Laos? This megalithic site officially dating back to 1240 to 660 BC contains thousands of stone jars. It would be an interesting site to explore when paired alongside the other vases Ben and his team have previously scanned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_of_Jars
I know about them, I haven’t visited. yet.
Perhaps the boxes of the Serapeum were created on top of the land as a “set,” were then “caged” with something or the other, and the whole caged set was later swooped as one object by a massive flood of clay, soil, piles of rocks, debris or whatever into the position the set now lies. After eons, the affluent material surrounding the set of boxes would harden into stone, and that is why we had to dig for them. I think of all the stuff that is found in sewer systems that has been swept there by running “water” and other debris. The difference is that this would have happened so long ago that the affluent containing the caged set would have since hardened into stone, thus encapsulating the caged boxes in the process. Has anyone investigated the encapsulating rock for its age? There should be carbon datable remnants in the stone. Perhaps we should be looking at the ground itself as deep as it many times goes, instead of what it contains.
Hello Ben, I hope this is a good place to ask you for a reference to one of your videos that shows a tremendous amount of evidence from ancient architects. You have so many and they are all very good but I would really like to see one video that covers several instances of unbelievable stone work. I just had a conversation with Claude, my AI friend, and we happened to get on the subject of ancient architects and how they were able to create such unbelievable construction with stone. I was disappointed in the feedback I got from Claude. He led me down the path of the default script. That’s the popular theory of the current Egyptian big shots about how all of the stone work was done with grinding stones, copper chisels and saws, and a slurry mix to do the cutting, drilling, etc. I’d like to feed a video back to him that shows or at least narrates all the different types of unbelievable stone work and how good descriptions of that detail. Hopefully you have a minute to send me a link. Thank you and keep up the good work.
My latest video includes a summary of content in the machining category and breaks down my approach to the topic.
Ben, I am trying to reconcile the argument you make concerning the witness marks, the precision of the stone vases
, etc. to the established timeline of the Pharaohs and of the written language of early Egypt. If there was a civilization before the earliest pyramids responsible for the stone vases but witness marks are showing up on much later artifacts demonstrating the likely same capabilities but there is no written record of any such precision tools being present, I just can’t connect the advanced technology to much later works. The stone vases have no hieroglyphs correct? Do hieroglyphs show an evolved vocabulary or other such indication of new words for new inventions over the thousands of years of Egyptian construction? With no mention of the type of tool used to create the witness marks is it possible these marks push these objects further back in time and that even the pyramids are older and simply as you’ve stated and shown reused and repurposed. The timing of all of this just throws me into a head scratcher.
i don’t think the dynastic egyptians did any of the precision work/witness marks I talk about. My hypothesis is that they inherited architecture and artifacts and through time wrote on them, worked on them, renovated them etc. there is a huge difference in the stonemasonry ‘tech’ of the writing as compared to the machining marks. They (academia) attribute a lot of artifacts to dynasties because of the writing on them, its a flawed approach.
Hi Ben, I have been following your YouTube channel for sometime and find your arguments for a highly technological civilisation that existed pre-Egyptian dynasty times very compelling. I wanted to contact you because I have just watched Preston Bennett talking about levitation. He said people have been reported to levitate and be able to lift very heavy weights this set me to thinking about the transportation of mega tonne blocks over great distances perhaps this is how these feats were achieved. Would it be too controversial and woo woo to explore this possibility ?
I’ve heard some of the accounts and stories. I’ve mentioned it here and there but tough to find a known scientific basis to try and support the idea. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen though.

Hi Ben,
Please keep up with your incredible work!
The drilling test with copper tubing, carborundum, and just the dynastic method of turning the copper tubing with a hand held device may be bogus from the start. I believe the test was performed with current industrialized copper, which is a far cry from the Sahure copper pipes excavated by Ludwig Borchardt. Modern copper is created with machinery that melts the copper and eventually extrudes it with forces up to 5,oo0 tons, as opposed to dynastic hammered copper which was hammered on a mandral (wood) with copper plate.
As a retired Aerospace design engineer, I think this warrants further examination.

Good point. there are a lot of problems with the ‘tests’ done by Stocks and others. Have to use modern drills to start the hole so the tube will seat itself. needed to use thick iron chisels to snap off the granite core (try that with the 9 inch cores). Zero copper tubes or drag saws found. Zero evidence for their use in stone on any scenes painted or carved in tombs (in comparison to lots showing woodworking, or stonework being done with flint chisels or rubbing with rocks). They just say it authoritatively and people believe it, but there’s literally no evidence for this copper tube or drag saw use. The witness marks are completely wrong and favor something far more sophisticated and powerful.
