Ancient Egyptian MACHINES: New Scans Prove the Human Timeline Wrong | Karoly Poka & Adam Young
Precise Metrology Analysis of Ancient Egyptian Stone Vases Challenges Manufacturing Timelines
Discover why high-precision granite and diorite vases from dynastic and pre-dynastic Egypt consistently outperform modern machining capabilities, challenging conventional archaeological methods.
Short Summary
- Engineers used CT scans and metrology (RMS distance) to measure ancient Egyptian vases down to the micron level.
- The most precise artifacts exhibit accuracy factors (median circularity of 6-7 microns) that modern CNC machines struggle to replicate in hard stone.
- Traditional "form-based dating" is often inconsistent, suggesting these objects may be significantly older than commonly attributed.
- Research indicates that manufacturing techniques inferred from the symmetry (like external turning) predate the known introduction of the wheel/lathe to Egypt.
- The research team is sponsoring an experimental archaeology challenge to allow craftsmen to attempt replication using period-appropriate tools.
The discussion centers on detailed metrology analysis performed by Karoly Poka and Adam Young on ancient Egyptian stone vessels. They present data showing exceptional geometric precision in granite and diorite artifacts, some dating to the pre-dynastic Nagada period. The findings force a re-evaluation of tool use, manufacturing techniques, and current dating methodologies in Egyptology.

Dude, I pay for premium to skip all the adds. You’re killing me
I work for a company in Australia that CNC manufactures for a number of industries ranging from civil through to aerospace. We machine items as large as train wheels, down to micro sized precision gear cutting and everything in between. We have in-house CMM services and understand the difficulties in achieving precision even with high tech modern day machinery. Even climatic conditions play a part in the final tolerances. I can unequivocally say that the competition might as well offer 500k prize money because nobody with current trajectories of understanding will be able to machine granite to those tolerances using equipment that we believe to be representative of predynastic times. Something is very amiss with the geological record. Great video, thanks!
My man Danny said lemme get every ad on planet earth on this one.. lol
Thank you for the possibility guys! It was amazing to be there and discuss this topic.
I'm seriously thinking of starting a YouTube channel called AllAds. It's just ads. All ads
PLEASE relax with the ads. It’s overkill
Bro we are all skipping over your ads anyways stop stuffing them into the first hour
Bro how many ads you need... we can't even watch the episode
The Ads are out of control. Such a shame.
Danny we love your show but sneaking in the ads on YouTube when we pay for no ads pretty slimy
