I have an opinion but not one I wish to discuss with you.

I suggest that whomever you wish to discuss it with is done by phone or PM them. DIYnot is not all that private, boyo.

Is that what you're telling me I have to do?

If you wish to discuss it privately, then it's good advice. If you want to announce your fruit loop ideas to the world however.....

Why insult me? That isn't allowed on this forum apparently...

 

[noseall]

Eh?

That isn't allowed on this forum apparently...

You had better behave then.

 

[pete01]

Eh?

Fruit loop? That's an insult.

You had better behave then.

Yes Boss......lol.

 

[pete01]

Anyway as thrilling as this has been I'm off to cut the grass....see ya.

 

[noseall]

Fruit loop? That's an insult.

Possibly?

However, what I actually wrote 'fruit loop ideas' - not in the slightest. You'll get the hang of it one day (I'm sure).

You forgot the numerous empty tombs, cut from granite, to an accuracy we could not manage even today.

Yeah, that didn't happen. No such thing exists. Empty tombs I can accept but tombs cut to accuracy that we can't match now is nonsense.

Didn't they?

1st wheel was invented 6,000 years ago in the Carpathian Mountains, modeling study suggests

It's possible that the wheel was invented by copper miners in the Carpathian Mountains up to 6,000 years ago, according to a modeling study that uses techniques from structural mechanics.

Yeah, that's wrong

The Egyptians made loads of bowls out of schist.

It was also popular for various other nations, because it's easy to carve and strong enough to be fairly durable.

Schist & Gandharan Carved Stone Antiquities for Sale | Ancient & Oriental

Schist is a grey stone of a relatively high hardness that can be carved to some detail. Schist commonly contains varying amounts of mica and quartz which can lend it a subtle sparking quality. Schist was the major material of choice for the infamous Gandharan sculptures.

All this *******s about 'no one today could carve that' is just assumption and ignores thousands of tears of carved stone bowls.

You obviously have no clue. You just copy and paste without research....

The item i pointed to could not be carved with a copper chisel.

'Approximately one cm thick (approximately two-fifths of an inch), 61cm in diameter (24 inches), and 10.6 cm (4.2 inches) in the center, the method used to craft the Schist Disk remains unknown. It continues to confound craftsmen even after two centuries.'

The Schist Disk: Egypt and “Advanced” Technology

Since discovered in 1936 in the Egyptian village of Saqqara, the so-called “Schist Disk” has been used to support the widely-held contention that the ancient Egyptian culture acquired technology far superior to their own at some point in their development from an outside source. And while this...

Do you believe this bit as well, "The Egyptians used extremely simple technology to accomplish sophisticated ends."?

 

[Koolpc]

Maybe not,

1. Advanced Techniques or Tools:
The disc may represent evidence of advanced techniques or tools that have not been preserved in the archaeological record. For instance, the use of harder materials like dolerite for carving or the application of abrasives such as quartz sand could have enabled finer detailing.
2. Lost Technologies:
It is also possible that the First Dynasty Egyptians employed techniques or technologies that were later lost to history. The disc could reflect a high level of technological experimentation, suggesting a sophisticated understanding of materials and mechanics.
3. Symbolic Significance Over Functionality:
The effort required to carve schist into such an intricate shape suggests the disc held great symbolic or ritual importance. If it was not intended for practical use, the material’s brittleness may have been less of a concern than its aesthetic or symbolic qualities.
4. Skilled Craftsmanship:
The artisans of early dynastic Egypt were highly skilled, as evidenced by the intricate jewelry, pottery, and tools from the same period. The Sabu Disc may represent the pinnacle of such craftsmanship, requiring both technical expertise and artistic vision.

Thank you!
