Since you're relatively new to CF you may not be aware that posting a video without a brief explanation of the contents is considered unacceptable. Expecting someone to wade through an hour of documentary without knowing what it's about, or what point you're trying to make, is unreasonable.

This is the specific CF rule:
  • Videos posted in the Opening Post (OP) need to contain a summary of the video, including what it is about and a few key points. An exception can be made for music videos.

advanced technology must have existed at some point in the distant past… we are still left with something we cannot explain (or even replicate)

it begins to make a lot more sense if you consider longer timelines

Actually, it makes more sense if God created human beings and gave them technological knowledge.

the Egyptians themselves said:

tens of thousands of years ago… the Gods ruled their civilization

Odd that rather than use this advanced technology in pyramid construction they used copper chisels...

Empirical methods show that copper rods or tubes in conjunction with lubricated abrasive, e.g. emery, corundum, or diamond, can reproduce the Egyptian drill holes and their surface grooves.

the video showed why that thinking is flawed…

still unexplained

but maybe… they used acid to soften the stone

If the results are comparable there's no need for further explanation.

Maybe, but it doesn't seem to be necessary.

carving granite would necessitate softening the stone

you say that because you haven't considered the video
I don't need to see the video if experiments using materials available in ancient Egypt have reproduced the drilled holes in question. If there is some point in the video that refutes those experiments, either explain the refutation or point me to the time in the video where the refutation is made.
