Ancient Machining: Experts, Evidence and the Full Process from Quarrying to Polished Stone! (UnchartedX)

A full-length documentary looking into the evidence for ancient machining, centered around a remarkable granite slab found on the rarely visited Ancient Egyptian pyramid site of Abu Rawash. We explore the context and history of the ancient, igneous masonry on these sites with witness marks that don't match anything in the known dynastic ancient Egyptian toolbox.

Following expert testimony and analysis from precision machining experts and manufacturing engineers, the only reasonable conclusion is that advanced machining processes were in use at Abu Rawash, as well as on other Ancient Egyptian sites, at some point in the distant past.



A very important point to consider, right at the start of this video, is that the pyramid at Abu Rawash was used as a quarry for many hundreds of years. Today there is not much of it left. It was only in very recent times that the worth of these sites as been recognised so that they are now preserved. Of course the most pressing issue raised in this presentation is the evidence of advanced machining seen on some of the surviving stonework.
