There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

[stevevw]

As usual you just don’t get it.
Technological progress prior to the advent of Methological Naturalism occurred by accident such as the Kahun Medical papyrus pregnancy test, or through inspiration or creativity which has a physical basis using the analysis of Einstein’s brain as a reference.

Ok so you are saying all knowledge comes from the physical and naturalistic processes and there no such such thing as any transcendent knowledge like spirituality or consciousness beyond the physical brain.

Do I need to remind you the point of this nonsensical thread is the ancient Egyptians possessed hi level technologies which is now due to some deep connection with nature where you cannot explain how the technologies emerged let alone evidence of their existence?

Maybe thats why your having trouble as its not just about Egyptian advanced knowledge and tech but the giant flaw in the history told by orthodoxy. So thats more about philosophy.

We went into some specific examples that may support that advanced knowledge. But we could also go into other examples all around the world. This also includes the cognitive evolution going back 300k rather than 50k. How discoveries like GT are pushing back the timeline and changing the level of knowledge the ancients had.

But its every bit philosophy, epistemics and culture as the specific examples. Even more so related to how we see knowledge.

Your also forgetting that my attempt to explain how the ancients gained advanced knowledge is spectulation. In fact its more about philosophy, epistemics and metaphsyics than the hard sciences like physics.

Now we have colorblind Mary as a philosophical argument which is irrelevant as it deals with subjective experience and whether physical knowledge captures consciousness and has absolutely nothing to do with the actual evidence of the technologies used by the Egyptians in manufacturing and construction.

As I said if the ancients had a more direct experience in nature and reality then they would have gained a deeper knowledge of nature and relality. Just like Marys experience of Red could only come from her subjective experience. So to is the deeper knowledge of reality.

In fact even science supports the idea that Mind and consciousness are fundemental and not objective physical reality. So if the ancients were more in tune with this fundemental reality. Then they also gained knowledge of fundemental reality from the bottom up and not the top down worldview.

Get over it, the evidence clearly shows the Egyptians used tooling as discovered by the archaeologists not your deluded, cognitive dissonant and confirmation bias relying on pseudoscience sites and amateurs claiming to be experts on Egyptian manufacturing.

This seems a blantant falsehood and demands evidence. The evidence does not clearly show what tools were used. There is absolutely no evidence showing how the large granite blocks, and boxes were made. There is absolutely evidence for machining.

No one has given any evidence for the contrary. Some have made claims but have not shown evidence. In fact the evidence they have shown was defeated. There certainly is not clear cut evidence.

What a complete load of nonsense.
You are using philosphopy as an obfuscation tactic because you have zero evidence of advanced technologies being used.

This seems a blantant falsehood and demands evidence. The evidence does not clearly show what tools were used. There is absolutely no evidence showing how the large granite blocks, and boxes were made. There is absolutely evidence for machining.

No one has given any evidence for the contrary. Some have made claims but have not shown evidence. In fact the evidence they have shown was defeated. There certainly is not clear cut evidence.

If this advanced technology existed why have contemporary 'primitive tools' been found along tomb depictions of their use when they would been superceded by this advanced technology which does not leave a shred of evidence.

Why is it that experimental archaeologists have been able to reproduce the signatures you claim can only be done with this advanced but unknown technology?

The sheer stupidly of your argument is that these inconvenient facts have been raised a number of times only to ignored and responded to with the low brow argument by repetition fallacy.

Not that there is no such thing, just that there seems to be no need for it.

This also includes the cognitive evolution going back 300k rather than 50k. How discoveries like GT are pushing back the timeline and changing the level of knowledge the ancients had.

Which is evidence that they knew what they wanted to achieve before they figured out how to to it--which is exactly the same way modern technology advances.

But its every bit philosophy, epistemics and culture as the specific examples. Even more so related to how we see knowledge.

Your also forgetting that my attempt to explain how the ancients gained advanced knowledge is spectulation. In fact its more about philosophy, epistemics and metaphsyics than the hard sciences like physics.

Evidence of machining is not the same as evidence for your transcendent knowledge. In fact, it can be seen as evidence against it, as it suggests that the blocks were cut by earthly means, not metaphysics.

The nonsense perpetrated by @stevevw there is no evidence of the ancient Egyptians using conventional tools particularly during the Old Kingdom is refuted by the following table.

Parameter	What It Shows	Archaeological Evidence	Implication (Supports Conventional Tools)
1. Surviving Tools	Direct physical proof of technology used	Copper chisels, stone hammers, dolerite pounders, bow drills, tubular copper drills, flint blades, polishing stones found in tombs, quarries, workshops	Demonstrates the tool types available and used — no unknown technology required
2. Workshop Assemblages	Context evidence of manufacturing	Finds at Giza, Saqqara, Deir el-Medina, Aswan, Hierakonpolis show tool kits, unfinished objects, debitage	Confirms how tools were applied in situ
3. Unfinished Artifacts	“Frozen moments” of work	Partially carved granite statues, bowls, and obelisks showing intermediate stages	Shows step-by-step stages achievable using chiseling, pounding, rubbing, and drilling
4. Quarry Tool Marks	Direct traces of working stone	Dolerite pounding pits, copper chisel marks, wedge holes at Aswan, Gebel el-Silsila, Tura	Matches tools that were found—no anomalous machining marks
5. Drill Holes Showing Spiral Grooves	Characteristic signature of rotary abrasion	Spiral striations created by quartz sand abrasive + copper tube drills	Matches experimental reproduction; not consistent with high-speed machinery
6. Bow Drill Evidence	Attested drilling method	Bow drills found in tombs; depictions in Old Kingdom tomb scenes	Explains small circular holes and vessel hollowing
7. Tubular Copper Drills	Explains core drilling	Archaeological copper tubes + cores from granite and limestone	Reproduced experimentally to match Egyptian core geometry
8. Microstructure of Tool Marks	Reveals tool hardness and motion	Microscopy shows crushing, abrasion patterns, and quartz-sand scoring	Consistent with pounding stones and sand abrasives, not high-speed cutting
9. Dolerite Pounding Depressions	Mechanically distinct from carving	Aswan quarries show large bowl-shaped depressions where dolerite was repeatedly hammered	Demonstrates long-term mechanical wear, consistent with manual pounding
10. Sand Abrasive Residues	Confirms abrasive technique	Quartz grains embedded in drill grooves and polishing scratches	Matches known Egyptian use of desert sand as abrasive
11. Relief Cutting Evidence	Explains shallow arcs and intricate shapes	Tool marks consistent with chisels, bow drills, and abrasion finishing	No anomalous cutting forces required
12. Overlapping Drill Holes	Technique for cutting curves	Bow drills used to make multiple small holes that were later chiseled out	Archaeologically known method for producing arcs and internal corners
13. Tube Drill Diameter Limits	Confirms realistic tool sizes	Most copper tube drills 1–10 cm diameter; none at “micro” scale	Supports traditional methods; no micro-machining attested
14. Experimental Archaeology	Modern replication validates plausibility	Engineers (Stocks, Dunnell, Denys Stocks, stonemasons) replicated granite cutting, drilling, and vase-making with known tools	Demonstrates all observed marks can be reproduced without advanced technology
15. Tomb & Temple Depictions	Visual documentation of tool use	Old Kingdom scenes show bow drills, pounders, chisels, saws, polishing	No depictions of unknown technologies
16. Stratigraphic Context	Dates tools to correct periods	Tools found in layers matching Old Kingdom and Middle Kingdom chronology	Confirms Egyptians had these tools at the time monuments were built
17. Lack of Residues from Advanced Machinery	Negative evidence	No metal alloys, bearings, lubricants, high-speed wear patterns	Strongly argues against machinery of unknown type
18. Consistency Across Sites	Tool marks uniform across Egypt	Same tools used in Saqqara, Giza, Aswan, Luxor, Sinai	Implies widespread traditional craft, not lost advanced tech
19. Material Science Limits	Copper + quartz abrasive is adequate	Quartz abrasive has Mohs hardness 7 → can cut granite at 6–7	No exotic materials needed
20. Cultural Continuity	Skills evolved over centuries	Old to New Kingdom shows incremental improvement	No sudden appearance of advanced technology

This is double stanbdards. You demand peer review and make people jump through hoops with demands of independent evidence. Then post a list of claims without any link or evidence at all let alone peer review and celebrate it a winner.

Just shows how willing some are to accept stuff without evidence. So long as it fits their beliefs.

I can play this game and make up stuff in a table.

He could just say the table came from "transcendent knowledge" then you wouldn't need any evidence.

I don't take kindly to being accused of lying by "make up stuff", in fact this is all about psychological projection since you have been caught out lying on subjects such as Old and New Kingdom obelisks. While you have a propensity for dishonesty don't expect others to follow your example.

Now I would ordinarily ask what you think constitutes evidence but since your response has degenerated into personal attacks I don't hold much promise of reading a coherent and ad hominem free reply.

On the subject of peer review here is a breakdown of the references in my previous post.

Short answer: Most, but not all, are peer-reviewed.
Below is a precise breakdown so you know which sources are peer-reviewed academic publications, which are scholarly but not peer-reviewed, and which are field-standard technical works used by Egyptologists.

---

✅ Peer-reviewed sources (academic / university-press / scholarly reviewed)​

These do undergo academic review or are published by major university presses or academic journals.

Peer-reviewed books or monographs​

• Barry Kemp — Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization (Routledge)
  (Academic peer-reviewed monograph)
• Ian Shaw & Paul Nicholson — Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technology (Cambridge University Press)
  (Multi-author academic volume; chapter peer review)
• Dieter Arnold — Building in Egypt: Pharaonic Stone Masonry (Oxford University Press)
  (Major academic monograph)
• Baines & Malek — Atlas of Ancient Egypt (Oxford University Press)
  (Scholarly academic publication)
• Ian Shaw — The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt (Oxford University Press)
  (Edited academic volume; chapters peer-reviewed)
• Harrell & Storemyr — publications on quarries
  • Many appear in peer-reviewed journals, e.g. Journal of Archaeological Science, Egyptian Archaeology, Archaeometry.
    

Peer-reviewed articles​

• Harrell & Storemyr, “Ancient Egyptian Quarries” (various articles in academic journals)
• Experimental archaeology studies published in academic venues (some by Stocks, others by independent researchers).
  

---

Scholarly but not formally peer-reviewed​

These are highly authoritative, widely used by Egyptologists, but are technically not peer-reviewed in the modern journal sense.

Reference books / authoritative field manuals​

• A. Lucas & J.R. Harris — Ancient Egyptian Materials and Industries
  • Gold-standard technical reference since 1926
  • Extensively revised by Harris
  • Not peer-reviewed, but professionally edited and academically authoritative
• Clarke & Engelbach — Ancient Egyptian Masonry (1930)
  • Classical technical treatise; no peer-review process at the time
• R. Engelbach — The Quarries of the Western Nubian Desert
  • Highly respected archaeological monograph; not peer-reviewed in the modern sense
• Norman de Garis Davies — Tomb publications (e.g., The Tomb of Rekhmire)
  • Egypt Exploration Society publications
  • Extremely scholarly, but not formally peer-reviewed
• Kanawati — Old Kingdom Art and Archaeology
  • Scholarly fieldwork monographs; not technically peer-review journal publications
• Denys Stocks — Experiments in Egyptian Archaeology (2003)
  • Fully academic but not issued through a peer-review academic journal
  • It is, however, standard in the field and cited in university research.
    

---

Not peer-reviewed (but academically credible / professional)​

These are technical reports, stonemason reproduction experiments, etc.

• Practical stonemasonry replication reports
• Non-journal experimental archaeology reports
• Some excavation reports (pre-peer-review era)

In Egyptology, many foundational works (including Lucas & Harris) come from periods before “peer review” was standard.
Despite this, they are accepted, authoritative, and relied upon by Egyptologists worldwide.

---

⭐ Bottom Line​

• Around 50–60% of the references in the table are from peer-reviewed or university-press academic sources.
• The remaining references are foundational, authoritative Egyptology works that are not peer-reviewed in the modern context, mostly because they predate widespread peer review.

Ok so you are saying all knowledge comes from the physical and naturalistic processes and there no such such thing as any transcendent knowledge like spirituality or consciousness beyond the physical brain.

Are you still into proving that? Why do you even want to?
