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:
Join us in Egypt in March of 2025 for another epic journey through the ancient mysteries and wonders of Upper and Lower Egypt! Led by myself (Ben) Kyle and Russ from the Brothers of the Serpent Podcast, as well as expert guide Yousef Awyan, this trip features 16 days, at least 6 special permissions, a 4-night Nile Cruise, and, as has become tradition, live music from your hosts.
This year, we’re offering an optional post-trip extension to the amazing Red Sea! 6 nights at the beautiful Savoy resort in Sharm el-Sheikh, it’s the perfect way to relax and unwind after the tour. Come get dive certified and dive with us!
This promises to be a great trip. The full details, itinerary, Ts&Cs and registration for the tour and extension are available here: https://unchartedx.com/egypt2025 , or via the link in the menu bar above.
A discussion about new learnings and observations from 6 weeks in Egypt, with Kyle and Russ Allen of the Brothers of the Serpent Podcast. Accompanied by video and imagery, we cover a wide variety of topics, mysteries, and sites visited over our 6 week visit to Egypt!
Last year I had the opportunity to join Jimmy Corsetti on the Joe Rogan Experience. This was back when Joe was exclusive to Spotify, but in 2024 he evidently signed a new contract that included YouTube, and older episodes have been being uploaded to YouTube. My episode is up on YouTube if you haven’t seen it: https://youtu.be/xBekFQbwAGk
Ancient technology, precision stone vases, and other seemingly out-of-place artifacts, what is the connection between them? This is the topic I addressed in my presentation given earlier this year at the Cosmic Summit, and I wanted to share it with you all.
A little different to my normal produced content, this presentation will cover some ground and we get into a number of topics, tubular drills, vases scan project update, the tale of two industries, and more. I hope you enjoy the video!
As always this is brought to you via the value-for-value model, and my amazing supporter community – a huge thank you to everyone who contributes in any way!
BARABAR – Breathtaking Precision and Geometry Discovered in Ancient Indian Granite Caves. An important film and discovery. Presented by UnchartedX, check it out here: https://youtu.be/6RJ3Epd_SXk
In a remote area of India are some of the most remarkable ancient structures anywhere on the planet. A series of granite rock-cut caves, that recent studies utilizing modern 3d-scanning technology have been revealed to have utterly incredible precision and astonishing geometry. #ancient#precision
The ancient stone structures of the Giza plateau are overwhelming the first time you see them – but repeated visits will begin to reveal the subtle layers of detail and mystery written into the megalithic blocks. This video explores one of these details, the evidence for significant erosion, particularly that of the limestone masonry in the megalithic ancient structures.
Not all is as it seems when looking at ‘Old Kingdom’ architecture, and I get into the contradictions inherent to the established timeline, as well as exploring the scientific research exploring erosion rates of sedimentary limestone under various conditions – and the logic leads to a remarkable conclusion.
Many thanks to my Egyptian brother Yousef Awyan for his efforts, as well as my friend and teacher Randall Carlson.
