@Its_shee_ It only works on earth, not jupiter

Guys, can someone explain to me why does the scale say 2 kg but it reads 7 kg? I'm so confused

@moondailys Maan

How do you say Moon in your language?

@markerrolhood1 @AmazingEyes1122 Zoethout ?

@AmazingEyes1122 Have a guess what this is BTW its not Cinnamon

People keep guessing, but no one gets it right. Do you know what this is?

Chemistry lesson for every kind of archaeologist: real, pseudo, and armchair archaeologists. Part One Lye made from wood ash — basically water slowly filtered through and dripped off from wood ash — primarily contains potash (K₂CO₃). Every ancient civilization could produce this. We even have evidence: soap making. Quicklime (CaO) is produced by heating limestone (CaCO₃) in fire. Under heat, the CO₂ simply gets released and escapes into the atmosphere and burnt or quick lime is formed. Add some water and you’ll end up with slakec lime (Ca(OH)2) Ancient civilizations could produce this too, and we also have evidence they used it: lime-burning pits, leather tanning, and so on. If you mix these two, ion exchange gives you limestone (CaCO₃) molecules suspended in a potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution. K2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 = CaCO3 + 2KOH Yes, you should bookmark this, good idea! If you let it settle, you get a crude limestone paste. Not slaked lime, but actual limestone particles — the same kind that settles on the ocean floor together with dead shells. (Yes, limestone particles continuously settle on the seafloor, formed not from dead animals themselves, but from calcium ions and carbon dioxide from the air. This is what acts as the binding material that cements the shells together. The shells themselves, of course, are not sticky.) If you compress this goo, you get real limestone, with its strength depending on the amount of pressure applied. If you don’t apply pressure and simply let it dry, it will crumble back into powder. If you apply several tons of pressure, the result is a very hard stone. And our ancestors knew this too. It’s no coincidence they didn’t try molding it into bricks — strong bonding requires pressure. A 1–2 meter thick layer of this sludge already creates enough self-weight to harden the lower section. And once you place the next stone block on top, there’s no question that the necessary pressure will be there. Of course, one more thing is needed: a hole in the mold so that the water squeezed out of the paste can escape. And there you have it — nub is ready. The nubs are naturally located on the lower parts of the stones. If they aren’t there, then the stone was rotated into this position— like this limestone lintel here. Naxos Portara, Greece 🇬🇷

@FoMaHun You can plaster it into a Neolithic wall in your own garden. 😃

Doggie 🐶 is in his third year. Doggie lives on a hill as you’ll see at the end of this video. Doggie is from the very first artificial stone recipe of mine: waterglass, wood ash + gravel. Doggie will die sooner or later. Why? Because I didn’t know 💩 about sodium waterglass, efflorescence, different wood ash types etc. back then when I created him. Doggie is still surprisingly strong though. Having this ultra bad ingredient mix he should have died last year when he endured heavy snow plus -12 degrees Celsius freezing temperatures. But he’s still with us. But now you can clearly see the gravel I used in his body as he lost a layer of artificial stone because of natron efflorescence. If I were me, I would use potassium waterglass next time and definitely pine 🌲 wood ash to make him eternal. Anyway, years ticking, doggie is a metronome now, measuring the time window given to such a bad mix.

Khm. Who would have thought? 🤔

I knew! I knew that the gods used the stones as a toilet 🚽, this way hiding organic material in Peruvian stones!!!

This is too much, Trevor!!! Are you questioning the obvious? Artificial stones DO NOT EXIST!!!! /s 🤣

Poor gods were unable to neutralize all sodium atoms. Lame…

STOP! Telling the truth! 🤣

@01Spidey01 @FoMaHun @4gottnHistory Indeed 👍

@FoMaHun @4gottnHistory For me, Marcell Fóti's explanation is the ONLY ONE that i've read and seen that makes total sense.

If ancient people only had copper tools… then why do we find drill marks in granite that look machine made? 🤔 How is that possible?

You know exactly how this is possible, but you chose to keep it quiet. It’s possible because these stones are artificial, and just like you can easily poke into fresh concrete with almost anything—even a stick—while it’s still soft, in the same way you can easily drill into this artificial granite using some kind of copper tube. Now I’ll show you my own drill core, which was made from artificial, cast granite in a sour cream cup. The recipe is public—anyone can find it on my website—and the ingredients were absolutely available to the ancient Egyptians.

@FoMaHun Nice name for the recipe, Jabba

That’s Jabba in my pot. Watch it closely. What? You heard it right. I was just repeating my own stone softening recipe here (to produce waterglass from silica sand, kitchen temp), and suddenly Jabba was winking 😉 at me from the pot. Scarry 😱 Now I don’t know what to do, release him or execute him with my light saber? May 18th the Force be with me! For newcomers: I’m kidding. You can’t soften stones. But you can etch them chemically. And Jabba in the pot is real.

What’s this? Drill core No.47? No. It’s my first attempt to create (fake) red granite. Not bad as a first try! Note: the only change from the public v3 recipe is adding some reddish dust to the mix. So the “secret” recipe: -Potassium waterglass (home made) -Granite grains (from a quarry) -Slaked lime as a catalyst only (2%) -Reddish dust (technically a bad quality, inactive, dead metakaolin but it doesn’t matter) Cast under liquid as per the recipe v3 to be bubble free. No polishing. I’ll try to polish it next week.

Look what happened yesterday. That’s me on the right, standing next to Martin Doktar, curator of the Ante-Antiquity Foundation. @AnteAntiquity Martin came all the way from Ireland to see — and personally experience — the making of artificial stone. And now I’m opening up that opportunity to anyone interested, because it turned to be a very good idea! I didn't expect this to be this fun! Thank you Martin for the idea and the visit! If you let me know in advance that you’re coming to Budapest, we can meet up, I’ll show you a couple of iconic spots around the city, we’ll grab lunch somewhere, then head to the “lab” (which is really just a battered old second kitchen upstairs that nobody uses anymore) and start making stones. And yes — all of this happens in my own house, which comes with one major advantage: the cellar is stocked with my own wine, and you’ll get to taste it too. Trying somebody else’s homemade wine is usually a terrifying gamble, but there’s no need to worry here — I’m a trained winemaker. Really. These are the artificial stones Martin and I made together: -Neopolymer from water glass and pine ash -Artificial limestone made directly from ash lye using slaked lime. Caveman style -Artificial granite from water glass and crushed granite -Artificial sandstone from water glass and sand Later in the evening we polished off a nice bottle of French wine while chemically dissolving a handful of sand in the basement on a portable electric stove. It was awesome. Around 8:30 PM I handed Martin a cardboard box and he packed his little stones into it — some of them hadn’t even fully cured yet. Luckily his flight wasn’t until the next day, and by morning every piece was solid enough to travel. I honestly thought airport security would stop him and there’d be an argument with the guards, but nothing like that happened. Martin’s stones have since safely arrived home. So — if an adventure like this sounds interesting to you, send me a message WEEKS before you head this way and we’ll organize it.
