Impossible Precision: A Scientific Study of Ancient Egyptian Stone Vessels | #45 Dr. Max Fomitchev-Zamilov

An excellent question. And when I watched Olga's videos... She doesn't do it.

Well, her vases aren't that well hollowed out. And I can see how you can hollow out them to some extent manually, but when you watch videos on YouTube now, how people make them, that's all done on a lathe. And on a lathe, you have just an L-shape cutter that goes inside and you hollow it out that way. So my contention would be to make like a really narrow wall. You can do it on a lathe.

Manually, it would be difficult. I don't want to say impossible, because, you know, triple axel was impossible until it was done, right? I'd say it would be difficult. But once again, everything is comparative. And when we, you know, get down to discussing, you know, my paper, I will present my reasoning for why I don't think it was done manually.

It has to be a lace in my mind. You have to turn it and you have to have an L-shaped cutter. Otherwise, you know, I don't.

I mean, you can machine granite with... some types of carbon steel. I don't know how efficient necessarily it would be, but when I watch videos of other people making, you know, granite artifacts, they typically use diamond tip saws. So they use diamond tip saws for cutters. And I think it's a pretty interesting technology because the object is turning and then your cutter is a desk.

It's also turning. So they use a turning cutter on the turning object. So double the speed, and that way they can machine the outer surface. And for the inner surfaces, I only saw them using the L-shaped steel cutters. So perchance you'll ruin your cutter in just one vase, but heck, you know, if you have a bunch of them.

So how it could be done in the past, I don't really know, but I don't want to say. It was impossible to do any other way because I don't think you can prove a negative.
