CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Actually no he did not think it within the Egyptian tech of the time. He thought this was beyond the capabilities of anyone for that time as the tech was even beyond what he knew for his time let alone some 4,000 plus years earlier.
Thansks. Its not be the same tech as the 'boring bar' which was a wobbly and unstable rotation. Thats how it spun by having a wobble. Whereas the lathe tech required for the level of precise symmetry and circularity requires tight tolerances where the device is near perfectly still like a lathe.
That is why its commonly acknowledged it was some sort of lathing rather than the 'boring bar' or hand made.
The problem is the predynastics such as the Naqada culture (3,600BC) did not even have the 'boring bar' or potters wheel let alone a sophisticated lathe. They made pottery by the coil and slab-building method because they had no potters wheel which both did not come until near a 1,000 years later in 2600BC.
The potter's wheel was introduced to Egypt from the Levant during the reign of Pharoh Sneferu in the 4th dynasty (c.2600 BC).

I can't believe that between ICE, Boarder Patrol, military, FBI and Homeland Security officers, they could not handle this situation. Rammed? Boxed in? Since when are these individuals so helpless?Chicago police records shared with the Sun-Times show that a Border Patrol agent had called for assistance, reporting that roughly 30 agents had been “surrounded by a large crowd of people.” But police officials weren’t sent to help, the records show.
Federal agents shoot woman they say 'boxed in' authorities on Chicago's Southwest Side
Authorities were on patrol when they were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. The woman who was shot "was armed with a semi-automatic weapon," prompting officers to open fire, DHS said. She was taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.www.wbez.org
Maybe a set up....who knows.
