On this channel in the past, we’re talked about some pretty darn big blocks of megalithic stone, found on the famous ancient sites around the world, particularly those in Egypt. Most of these examples, obelisks or statues, are found on sites that are generally attributed to the later periods of the dynastic civilization, the middle and new kingdoms.

But what about the actual Old Kingdom sites? Places like the Giza Plateau, with its mighty stone pyramids, where most, if not all of the architecture and artifacts are attributed to the oldest periods of known history, and not to later periods of the Egyptian Civilization? Are there massive, almost inconceivably heavy, single piece stones found in these locations?

Well, in today’s video, that’s the topic we’re going to get into, because in the last couple of years, my good friend Yousef Awyan and I have found what, at least to our knowledge, is the largest single piece stone found at the Giza Plateau, and I wanted to share it with everyone. We’ll also take a look at some of the precision machining features of the megalithic structures at Giza, and the unique combinations of stone types that are found in these locations.

Eclipse at the Canyon (April 6-9, 2024): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/eclipse-at-the-canyon-tickets-733419546607

Our original Egypt Tour in Feb 2024 sold out in around a week – which was most unexpected! A lot of people expressed interest in the tour and signed up to the waitlist.

In the last several weeks, we unfortunately had to cancel our planned extension (after the trip) to Lebanon, so instead, we decided to run another tour in Egypt and make it available to everyone!

This tour is exactly the same as the Feb tour. Below are details for registration and the full itinerary. The tour starts and ends in Cairo, and runs from March 3-18, 2024.

Check out all the details on the tour page – via the menu above, or right here!

After nearly a year languishing in the ‘dormant’ category of audio podcasts, I finally got around to recording another episode of the UX Podcast! I’m committed to producing these around once a week going forward.

I was joined by Kyle Allen, no stranger to those who watch or listen to my channel, of the Brother’s of the Serpent Podcast. We get into a year review, talk about the skerps and critics, and the erosion on the Giza Plateau. In the 2nd half Randall Carlson gives a great lecture on studies that have been done into limestone erosion, and how it applies to the erosion we see in the Sphinx enclosure.

You can find the audio podcast in any of the online podcast RSS libraries, like Spotify, iTunes and more. You can also use any of the excellent new generation podcast apps from places like https://newpodcastapps.com . You can also play or download the podcast from this site, just click on the ‘UnchartedX PODCAST’ link in the menu bar above, or follow this link!

This video is a recent swapcast and conversation with my good friends Kyle and Russ Allen, of the Brothers of the Serpent Podcast, getting into the details around the vase scan project that I’ve been a part of this year.

If you’re looking to hear more details and discussion around these remarkable artifacts and their recently uncovered and entirely astonishing attributes, then you’ll likely enjoy this conversation!

I’m excited to announce that a new season of Ancient Civilizations is available for streaming.

A great way to help out the channel is to check it out using my affiliate link (and there is tons of great content on the Gaia network!): https://bit.ly/bvk_AC5

In season five of this popular Gaia Original series, I’m joined by several other experts in piecing together modern and historical evidence of a far different Earth history than we’ve been taught. New clues continue to surface pointing to the cause (or causes) of the cataclysmic events that vanquished great civilizations like the mystical Mu and enigmatic Atlantean Empire during the anomalous period known as the Younger Dryas. 

What caused the rise of massive amounts of water and fire described by our ancient ancestors, and how do ice core samples, earth imaging radar, and comet probes support their tales of the sudden submergence of entire land masses, perhaps still visible under the sea today.

Doing a new thing! I’ll be uploading ‘stream highlight’ videos to my 2nd channel, UnchartedXLive , on a pretty regular basis. At least, that’s the goal! Many thanks to Dubselectorr for helping with some of the editing.

These videos are different to my regular content, it’s live and unscripted. I stream a couple days a week over on twitch if you want to catch the livestreams here: https://twitch.tv/unchartedx .

Ancient precision confirmed!

The last few months has been a busy time for the vase scan team. Led by Chris Dunn, Alex Dunn and Nick Sierra, the team gathered in a precision lab in Danville IL to do a hands-on metrology inspection of several vases. Not only that, but many more of the remarkable ancient, hard stone vases that come from pre-dynastic and early dynastic ancient Egypt have been scanned via structured light and CT-Xray, and the results are frankly astonishing.

Not only has the incredible precision results of the original vase been confirmed in other artifacts, geometric and mathematical analysis has shown shared design principles between multiple vases – the same radial traversal function, the same fixed mathematical ratio between curvatures, and the same depth of elegance in the extensive use of pi and phi.

Edit: a small correction on the provenance of the large vase mentioned in this video:

I talked with Adam (owner of some of the vases in the current target collection) and we have a small correction on the provenance mentioned about the large vase on the table in the Danville video, when he said that it was exported from Egypt in the late 1800s. It was exported from Egypt in the 1930s.

That vase was from the Collection of Stanislav Kovar. He was a Czech diplomat, born in Prague in 1889. At that point, it was part of the Austro Hungarian empire. He brought vases out of Egypt in the 1930s.

Czechoslovakia was formed in 1918, but the word Czech is older. from Google: The words “Czechian”, “Czechish”, “Czechic” and later “Czech” (using antiquated Czech spelling) have appeared in English-language texts since the 17th century. During the 19th-century national revival, the word “Czech” was also used to distinguish between the Czech- and German-speaking peoples living in the country.

It is a well established fact that European diplomats brought out huge numbers of vases from Egypt before, during, and after this time.

In anticipation of my upcoming video covering the scans, inspections, and analysis of additional ancient hard-stone vessels from Egypt, I’ve put together a ‘Vase Scan Resources’ page. You can find it here or linked from the menu above.

On the page you’ll find the STLs and analysis reports for the OG Granite Vase, as well as additional STL (Structured Light Scans) for several more vases, all available for download and use. As reports and scans become available and ready to be open-sourced they will be added to the resources page. I also intend to write up an article covering the topic of the ancient hard-stone vases, the project so far, and it’s results.

The last month or so has been a busy time, for a bunch of reasons, like traveling for the Vase Scan project (video in the works!), but also for several podcast appearances. As a reminder, I have put all my podcast appearances (at least those I can find) on the ‘podcast appearances’ page that is linked at the top of the site.

While in Florida inspecting a private vase collection, I had two, in-studio chats with Danny Jones on his podcast, formerly known as the Koncrete Podcast. My solo show is here:

I also had the chance to share the studio with the great Randall Carlson, for a joint appearance with Danny:

Also, if you’re interested in the vase scan project, I was a guest on my friend George Howard’s (of cosmictusk.com fame) new podcast, ‘The Foxhole,’ along with the engineers and metrologists who have been leading the charge on analyzing ancient hard stone vases, Alex Dunn and Nick Sierra:

Also, I joined my good friend Matt Beal on his new ‘Limitless’ Podcast:

My live presentation from the stage of the Cosmic Summit, 2023! I get into the premise behind the ‘Tale of Two Industries’ and into the details of this year’s Ancient Vase Scanning Project – with a bit of a ‘latest news’ update before the video kicks off.
