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

And then if you are that advanced, maybe you can synthesize enough of this in a radioisotope to where you can machine something not, you know, microscopic, but, you know, something that you can actually hold in your hand. And if that is the case, I should be able to find, you know, markers of it. And that's why, you know, I borrowed a couple of your vases and, you know, analyzed them.

Because, you know, I'm hoping to find some markers of that. Be that in the form of residual gamma spectra, or in the form of decay products. that are left there, but that's, you know, what I'm thinking of. And I'm not saying, you know, this is how they were made, you know, it's a hypothesis I'm testing. And at the end of the day, am I able to say, well, I know I was wrong.

This is not how it was made because I didn't find anything. But, but it's an interesting area for me to chase.

22, yeah. 22, and then we scanned three modern artifacts, and then we had two scans from Olga Vdovin's vases. So is it 27 altogether?

Yeah, well, first of all, I want to thank you for scanning all of those, because that was a very high-quality data set. And, you know, science these days is about analyzing data. So you need lots of data to analyze. And the more data you have is better, and the higher quality data you have is even better.

And I'm very grateful for you because you provided a large data set of very high quality data. Because we're talking about CAT scans, you know, which are far more precise than optical scans.

Right. And, you know, I'm not an expert on metrology, so take my words and it was a grain of salt. I just look at the data and I will comment from the standpoint of the data. So the CAT scan has a lot more points in it. I would say 10 times, 20 times more. So some vases that I analyzed, I had optical scans. So those took maybe a couple hours to crunch through.
