Aswan quarry evidence reveals precision lost ancient technology. Unfinished obelisks at Aswan quarry show one-meter scoop marks running completely around The marks go from top of rose granite bedrock down underneath the stone Speaker tested dolerite pounding stones against rose granite and made only a small scratch in one minute
Unfinished obelisks at Aswan quarry show mysterious one-meter scoop marks running completely around the stone, going from the top of rose granite bedrock down underneath the stone. Testing with dolerite pounding stones against rose granite made only a small scratch in one minute. Researchers argue this evidence suggests an ancient device capable of precision work that modern tools (Mohs hardness 3-4) cannot replicate against rose granite (Mohs hardness 7). They call this 'one of the smoking guns of lost ancient technology.' ⚒️🔱
