So you think there was some sort of advanced civilisation that existed before the Neolithic era that just vanished without a trace except for some buildings that were later rebuilt by the Egyptians to make sure they'd fool carbon 14 dating? Are we talking steam power to help move the blocks or internal combustion?

Please, tell me more!
 
That's a combination of force applied and speed. if it were a bow drill then they can get a lot of torque and would be forced to go much slower than the machine tool. That'll give you greater distance between lines.

That does not compute! A bow drill, can produce much less torque than a power drill, and therefore progress, would be much less, and lines much closer together.
 
That's not what the experiments found. But you don't believe any of that nonsense anyway.

That part at least, is a possibility I would not exclude. We have a great deal of ancient history, we don't understand a fraction of, we are discovering new things every day.

Than which power drill? Do we know what the comparison used? So we know the spacings of lines with the Egyptian artefact or the Penn one? Did Penn even use a diamond tipped drill as they did it in the early 80s and they were rare back then. Do no we know exactly what bow drill if any the Egyptians used?

No.

All we know is their metallurgical skills were good enough to do it and the cuts themselves were sloppy compared to modern stuff.

In the absence of evidence to the contrary there's no reason to doubt the Egyptians did it. They were capable and it matches the rest of the evidence.
 
A point we agree on then - So how did they create that weight on the bit, and the torque to turn it?
How could a civilisation with the ability to move 200 to blocks of stone apply force vertically to an object.

No, you've got me, not a clue.

Read the research.

But it is a massive stretch to get from not quite understanding every detail of how they did to, therefore someone else did it. There is no evidence for that whatsoever.

When the denialists were objecting to the idea of copper and abrasives even making a mark on Granite they were more convincing.

After Nwgs proved that they can it sunk the entire objection. It went from theoretically impossible (at least to them) to a question of if they used levers and something to out pressure on the drill bit. We know they were excellent engineers after all.
 
It's out and out trolling. A renowned Professor of Egyptology leads a team who find and translate an ancient papyrus. But Harry won't believe it until I prove they got it right.

Shame...

You need to find a native ancient Egyptian speaker from the appropriate time period to attest to the accuracy of the translation. And they'll need to be able to write as well, obviously. It's not like they lived before mass printing had fixed the equivalent of spelling for hieroglyphics into a uniform and unvarying structure where no typos slang or shorthand was ever used.

How hard scan that be?
 
Even then I'd only be accused of making the outcome fit the theory. All scientists lie don't you know.
