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

Handmade vases by a good artisan that put in their time and hollowed out everything nicely and made it, you know, smooth and polished and it looks pretty to the eye. But the numbers clearly show it. It's not perfectly round. It's not perfectly concentric. it's hollowed out, not perfectly either.

And those are, you know, the Olga's vases, the two red bars are entirely consistent with the other blue bars. Yet in this subset, we have this green bars. meaning very round slices, very highly concentric. The outer surface is highly concentric on the inner surface, which means it's been hollowed out nearly perfectly.

And how you can do this without using some kind of measurement tool, I have no idea. And those are consistent, you know, with machining. The three orange vases are modern vases that we know were made on the lathe, you know, because when you watch, you know, these videos, they showcase this, you know, Pakistani, Bangladeshi,

shops where they... It's a primitive lace, but it's a mechanical lace nonetheless, right? So it has a motor, has a chuck. So this thing goes into the chuck and then, you know, the drill bit or the tool bit is secured on a table and they, you know, move it by turning the knob. Or sometimes actually hold the cutter.

So sometimes they hold the cutter and they still, you know, get pretty decent quality. But Not only these green bars are consistent with machining, they are somewhat better. And few of them like V4 or V18 are like 10 times better in quality than this run-of-the-mill machined. Which means if they were machined, they were machined

with extraordinary care, not just, you know, quickly, we need to make a $10, you know, give thing. You can hold the cutter by hand because no time to do it, but it was done, you know, with some extreme care, but it's consistent with machining. I cannot say it was machined. I can say it's consistent with machining and it's consistent with high quality machining.

I mean, if it was done some other way, you know, perhaps, but That's all I can conclude from this analysis. What else do we have there?
