Rare Footage from Egypt - Ancient Machined Artifacts found deep beneath the Step Pyramid!

As a modern granite and marble fabricator (mostly countertops and sinks) I couldn't imagine how they accomplished making this stuff. Everything we use is embedded with Dimonds. The saw blades, drill bits, router bits, grinding wheels, polishing pads all embedded with Dimond and we have modern equipment that spins very fast and uses water to cool as we work the stone. There's no way they used chisels to shape these pieces. Especially the softer stone like alabaster or the white lime stone. The granite which is the stronger and more dense would chip fracture and break to pieces the softer less dense lighter color transparent stone, forget it. Those who have worked with it understand how delicate it actually is. They had to have had some sort of machine that spins to grind this stuff into it's shape. The vases you're talking about having to shape the outside as well as the inside. That is a very large amount of stone to have to get through while not breaking it. What sucks is in order to polish the stone, you have to first sand out all the tooling marks or any scratches in order to get a proper polish. Everything has to be completely smooth then to get the polish you use a finer Dimond pad every time and the finer the pad the greater the shine on the stone. But during the polish process you remove any tooling marks that show how you shaped it. Making this stuff today with modern tools, power, and running water is difficult. I don't even understand how it was possible for them

This is amazing. Hours of watching Smithsonian, History, and Nat Geo channels - and I’ve never seen anything like this explored with so much raw, unedited passion and incredible detail. Amazing stuff.

Being in a wheelchair these days not able to go down these videos are amazing . I get to see what I thought it would look like

This incredible work that Ben does bringing us information about how advanced previous civilizations were makes me so appreciative in awe & wonder Thankyou

I’m just astounded by everything I saw: the exquisite pottery , the endless tunnels, the huge carved stones . I was especially pleased to see everyone documenting and admiring all this work.👍

That removal and dumping of the alabaster blocks is a major disgrace. It's disgusting what they did to it.

Freeze Frame at 38:09 and you CLEARLY see a cut that any woodworker would recognize... The cut started at the top, and then they stopped when they saw they were off the mark, and restarted the cut from the bottom to finish it. Woodworking 101. And the inside corners of some of the boxes look EXACTLY like a "plunge cut" where you 'plunge' a spinning circular blade straight down. You can easily tell by the way the cut is deeper in the middle, and tapers to very shallow on the ends. Absolutely outstanding video.

OMG! This video is maybe 2 years old, and I've just seen it. The thing is, I went to Saqqara last August (2023) and I got a ticket that was supposed to give me access to everywhere, but the guy on the southern entrance to the step pyramid wouldn't let me in without a specific ticket. And, I'd just gotten a ride from the ticket office to the pyramid with a guy who was excavating tombs there and quietly raving about it. He'd told me I would get into the pyramid on the ticket that he had just helped me to purchase because I only had cash. I have now subscribed to this channel, so I'm hoping that there's more recent vids because I know there's lot's going on there. Cheers!

I am nearing 70 years. I have been fascinated by the remarkable edifices of ancient Egypt. I have heard rumors of tunnels and hidden chambers under ancient structures all of my life. So here is the documented proof! Thank you sir!

40 000 jars just in this place. Possibly more undiscovered. This volume isn’t a couple of guys on their lathe, this was full industrial level manufacturing. The jars look pristinely clean, no stains from regular usage. Like new.

Just wanted to say thanks Ben! I'm enthused by these videos, but more-so that independent investigators like yourself can both produce such quality content, and basically skip the whole "I'm a credentialed, blah blah" circus and simply film the artifacts--you are just showing the evidence and skipping the swamp of criticisms that you'd otherwise have to wade through from the mainstream. So I'm like doubly excited, b/c we are in a new age of archeology where the motivated and truly enthused investigators can just bust right through any ossified ideas that are hindering the flow of knowledge. Also, your commentary is just perfect (for me): i.e. the content, the calm delivery, the speed and pace at which it is delivered--it is super chill and rational, allowing ME to get genuinely enthused, without being pumped up artificially by someone selling it, pushing, boosting, sensationalizing, etc

It’s incredible that you could handle pieces of that pottery. The pile of pieces holds as much value as the unbroken examples but will probably be bulldozed as well.

Thanks for taking us on a trip millions of us won't be able to take in real life. Keep up the great work.

I was a toolmaker, I have turned highly precision machine parts to TENTHS OF A THOUSANDS of an inch. Fifty years if experience in engineering. Those jars are amazing. The Schist disc is mind-blowing, the only way you could produce one today would be by 3D printing. 🤔 Absolutely no way these jars could have been produced other than by machine. Great video,

Revealing such mysteries poses even more questions than answers. Good work.

It is clear that a obvious effort has been made to hide and suppress the truth about things. It's laughably clear. Love your stuff and the hard work that you guys do, Ben. Never stop.

We can now only imagine what else was down there made of alabaster, removed, discarded & crushed on the ground outside, it’s criminal, these places need protecting and photographing. You have an amazing job, thank you for sharing that with us, the artefacts that are still inside those tunnels are beautiful especially the large boxes.

Someone who has done work on Lathe I find the protruding handles on the vases very interesting as it wouldn’t allow material to be removed in between the handles along that plane where they sit yet the vase is perfectly round and it almost looks like the handles are glued on yet they are one peace

This is excellent. I am not sure how I am just discovering your channel as I am scrolling and watching everything about Ancient Egypt for years. Thank you for what you are doing. 👍🏼

Unbelievable, no other media or documentary provides these quality insights. I wish I had time to watch all the videos.
