There's the— Yeah, that's the porter's wheel, which is a contemporary piece of technology because, as I said, it's ball-bearing supported. So if she wanted to be entirely true to her cause,

There's the— Yeah, that's the porter's wheel, which is a contemporary piece of technology because, as I said, it's ball-bearing supported. So if she wanted to be entirely true to her cause,

her potter's wheel should have been consistent with what they used in ancient Egyptian time, meaning either clay-based or wood-based, stick-supported as opposed to ball bearing, because that's how she was able to achieve the remarkable accuracy of her outer surface.

Well, I think what she was doing, she was marking the high spots. So she would turn it, mark the high spot, and then she would polish them away. And then she repeated.

So it's like temporary marking.

But it doesn't mean it was achievable in ancient times, as I said, because there was no ball bearing supported turntable. Right.

Ball bearing supported. Porter's wheel is a piece of high technology. Right. Because it's straight. So the table itself is straight and rigid, which if you do it out of wood, it will be all curved. If you do it out of clay, it will be curved. And in a ball bearing, of course, you know. That's a 20th century technology.
