Re: A Theory on Egypt...

Gahd, if you are pondering that i haven't thought of that, i have, ofcourse what would be easier then just using one rock to polish the other side.

Here's the deal, a, surfaces i'm referring to are uneven, they not just flat on top, they are concaved, pwefectly cut, perfectly rounded or angled, and still polished to perfection, you are talking about perfect cuts between the two pieces that would be used, but you how, simply how, can you have a perfect cut between two pieces of stone that are over 3 by 4 yards in size, current egyptian scripture refers to no tools that could be used to make them. Another place where that logic gets quirky, is looking at unfinished sarcophagi, with concave surfaces, and lots of small grooves, very periodic, very similar, something you see after a large cutting wheel went through and cut the stone, very large, and here is where it falls apart, egyptians cataloged a lot of what they have, we have pictograms explaining the assembly of the pyramids, we have pictograms showing the making of blocks, and hauling them into place, we have pictographs of the mummification process, and making of the later pharaoh sarcophagi, but when it comes to stone working, outside of the much softer, sandstone, used in building the later structures, there is little describing their stone work. And i am more then willing to accept that they used hand tools and ingenuity and time, but some things totally throw me off...

here are some examples

gahd and i wont disagree, but what are the first thoughts when you look at these slabs of rock, here:

i have finally found a historical reference to tools that can produce such cuts, namely china and around 1900bc, over 1000 years after the earliest possible time frame i am referencing to, but once again its not necessarily straight cuts that i question, it's the concaved ones with groves going across that puzzle me the most at the moment... i'll look if i can find some photos online, it's been long and i saw most of what i describe in nat geo videos, and such....

i will restate, i don't believe or try to propagate ideas that there was some more advanced civilization before egyptians, that they talked to atlantis people, that they were magicians, that they had access to higher technology, not at all believing any of that, but i'm simply pondering explanations...
