[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8857590, member: 58172"] To be fair. UnchartedX is a YouTube channel that is dedicated to "super advanced ancient tech". Its focus will inherently indulge conspiracy theories. (Heh, and I am sure he is doing it on purpose, but one of the guests, Randall Carlson, has the same handsgesture as the Ancient Aliens guy.) There is a consensus among professional archeologists around the world, because we know how the ancients built the pyramids. The UnchartedX is one persons exploration of the weirder aspects of archeology. That said. Ancient Egyptians were the most technologically advanced culture of that age. We can see in their tombs the descriptions of the breadth of their scientific achievements, including, engieering, geometry, chemistry, gemology, artificial gems, metallurgy, astronomy, zoology, farming techniques, medicine. Classical Egypt correctly calculated the circumference of the Earth. And so on. Much of what we credit Greece for, came from Egypt. And there are genuine Egyptological mysteries. For example, there is an ongoing debate about the age of the Sphynx at Giza. Archeologists tend assume, it was built at the same time as the pyramids. But geologists judging by erosion patterns insist the Sphynx must be older than 10,000 years. Thus it was already sacred when the pyramid builders built around it. I tend to agree with the geologists. [/QUOTE]
