What is the alternative to actual science?
Just like we can gain knowledge of the world through an experience of color that science cannot tell us with all the information about how the physical processes work.
All direct experiences with the world contain such knowledge. Being direct knowledge this means listening and taking more seriously what the observer and subject is saying about their experiences. Its all there except the materialist worldview will dismiss all this as imagination, coincident, and delusion.
Please be specific how it applies to Egypt, particularly with pre-dynastic vases, pyramid construction, and stone cutting/quarrying as these are the topics that have come up most often and from which you complain about our use of "material science".
I have already done this. I hypothesised that if we humans can gain a deeper knowledge of reality such as a 'Red Experience'. Then because the ancients were more immersed in the phenomenal realm of direct experiences and the transcedent aspects that stem from phenomenal beliefs.
Then this brought deeper knowledge and insights about nature and reality. How it worked. Just like another species that in part of nature and does not rationalise it comes to gain knowledge of how nature works. So to did the ancients.
That means they knew how to work with stone for example. Knew what changed its makeup. Such as chemistry and physics. So it was not that they may have needed modern day machines to make these machine like cuts or precision works. But that they knew how to manipulate the material itself.
Thus there was no need for machines as conventional tools would suffice. Because the material was now like putty or weaker that it was like working with wood for example.
This is one idea. Another may be that they also had some form of power. Be it through some sort of manipulation or concentration of the natural physics of nation that they understood. Which may explain who there are many alignmemts with location and dimensions. Maybe to do with acoustics.
But this may have allowed either some sort of weakening of granite or some sort of mechanism was used (not necessarily like modern machines). Maybe a process that involves the boxes in the pyramids. Or some sort of electrodes that created some sort of piezoelectric effect.
But this is all spectualtion. But something along these lines. The point is that if modern science is trying to understand fundemental reality and if consciousness is involved. If the ancients were more conscious then today and lived by direct experiences with nature.
Then it makes sense that they came across some deeper understanding of nature and reality that could only come from a direct subjective experience. Just like the knowledge that comes from a 'Red Experience'.
But remember that this should not be viewed through the lens of modern material science or methological naturalism for obvious reasons. This is a completely different paradigm lens in how reality is known.
Similar to the difference between for example an 'Information' paradign of reality as opposed to the physical aspect that is the result or reflection of that information basis. Its more or less understanding reality in the deeper sense as to how it is reflected in the material dimension.
If the ancients understood the basis of the material reflections of the physical world. Then they understood how it worked fundementally and could manipulate it. Sort of Mind over Matter. Except the Mind or direct conscious experiences gave knowledge rather than any power of the mind over the physical world.
Thats the best I can do. I am sure there better ways of explaining this with some of the emerging proposals. But a lot is unknown and that is why the more data the better. Much has only been discovered recently with modern tech and its interesting that its taken modern tech to discover it.
