Ancient Hard Stone Precision Vases... are Fakes? Again? My response: unchartedx.com/site/2026/05/2… There have been some claims made recently - and again - that the amazing hard stone vases from Ancient Egypt shown to possess remarkable precision attributes have been conclusively shown to be 'modern fakes.' I quite disagree. The context around these vases, their precision and sophistication has been extensively documented by myself as well as several others across what's loosely termed 'the vase scan project.' I do not need to re-hash all the amazing findings made on these artifacts, I have hours of content on my channel that covers it. I've been asked about this recent claim a few times, so I thought I'd track down the origin for it and address it. You can find the article I've written in response to these claims on my website, unchartedx.com - or go direct to the article here: unchartedx.com/site/2026/05/2… Now back to making my video on ancient Mendes. Cheers Ben.

A small but significant pattern.

In February, our team visited the Qasr el Sagha temple near Lake Qaroun. Among the midden piles and excavated sand piles surrounding the temple are an uncountable number of ‘lithics’ or worked stones.  Flint rocks were struck along an axis, creating flint flakes, which were then carefully worked into objects such as arrowheads and spearheads.  Tools for cutting and piercing leather were also created using this method.  This practice is old, dating back to the Neolithic period and before, and long before the invention of pottery.  So why are these items here?  Did a primitive group of people inhabit the site after the dynastic Egyptians had left?  Or is the presence of lithics such as these a sign that the site dates back to predynastic times?  - Emily

The Artifact Foundation has been busy searching for pre-dynastic artifacts in the Sinai Peninsula. Many of these sites were excavated many years ago, if at all. The site is an oasis and we are on the road connecting Saint Catherine’s from the oasis. A road walked on for tens of thousands of years. Perhaps 100,000’s

BREAKING: Scientists say Shrunken Head Guy from Beetlejuice is naturally proportioned and NOT the result of a voodoo curse as alternative scientists claim.

The problems with this statement are numerous. The Dynastic Egyptians did not make these. They were collected by early Dynastic Pharaohs and found in predynastic burials at Naqada sites. “Handling a few as a graduate student” is very impressive, but not as impressive as actually measuring features like circularity and concentricity. For that, you need advanced metrology techniques.

Yes, yes I do. I've seen dozens and dozens of them in museums around Egypt, Europe & North America & images & reports on them in scientific publications. I know people who study them & I've handled a few in a museum store room when I was a graduate student They are NOT uniform, perfect, symmetrical, unblemished, flawless, etc. Etc. The minor imperfections one sees upon close examination, even very minor flaws, is what makes them look real. Modern machine made replica, all perfect & shiny look pretty to many. To me they look fake as hell because I know they aren't made by hand with the basic tools the late prehistoric Egyptians used. Pretend all you want that is "impossible" that the Egyptians could have done without some kind of imaginary technology that no one can ever find in the archaeological record Ridicule the idea the scientific view of archaeologists and enjoying the smug satisfaction that you're smarter than the "mainstream" closed minded "gatekeepers" who don't see the "truth" that you imagine you do. I don't care what you think of me and my professional colleagues. I really couldn't give a rat's a$$. What truly disgusts me about the "AltArcheology" crowd is that they are insulting the Ancient Egyptians. For over 4500 years from prehistoric times to the death of the last priest who worshiped the old gods and read the hieroglyphic texts, the Egyptians demonstrated their ingenuity, inventiveness, talent, skill, artistic sophistication, engineering prowess, etc etc to produce wonders that have amazed everyone from the Ancient Greeks & Romans to 21st century people across the globe They did it, as the Archaeological evidence has PROVED time and again, with the most basic technology, not with more advanced methods that anyone today can dream up in their imaginations but can never prove! This also goes for all the other unique ancient societies whose memory and achievements these conspiracy theorists and pseudo-scientists try to corrupt with their bizarre, baseless ideas. The AltArch types, self-styled "experts" love to accuse archaeologists for being arrogant and close minded. I can't think of anything more arrogant than ignoring what the ancients themselves are telling us about how and why they built the pyramids and created all their other magnificent artifacts just so you can impose your own fantasies on the ancients. From a woke perspective I suppose we could ask: Isn't that what they call "cultural appropriation" of the ancient past? Aren't you trying to "colonize" ancient cultures with your modern fantasies? Doesn't this mean you're trying to silence he ancient Egyptians? But I ain't woke So let's try it from, say a MAGA-friendly, "politically incorrect" viewpoint and Make Ancient Egypt Great Again. Sounds like a lot of the AltArcheology types are "special snowflakes" who need "safe spaces" where politically incorrect, culturally insensitive archaeologists won't "silence" their "creative post-colonial" theories with irrelevant "facts" and "oppressive" science. Poor fragile things! Of course we can't cut off their government funding. We already did that with the actual archaeologists but the AltArcheology Grifters like Graham Hancock make their money by bilking an unsuspecting public with their "ancient mysteries" So much fore the MAEGA approach, to MAGA. But Im not Woke or MAGA. I'm a scholar & scientist. My philosophy is Empiricism. What is the evidence and what does it tell us. Sooo... No, Derek, the predynastic Egyptians didn't make their stone vases with some imaginary advanced tech to absolute perfection They made these beautifully (slightly) imperfect vessels by hand with stone aged technology. Now please stop insulting my dear Ancient Egyptians by grossly underestimating their talent and ingenuity and ignoring the evidence they've provided for how they made these vessels. Pictures of vessels with minor flaws with close ups

Do you really believe that these ancient Egyptian stone vases/ vessels that feature precision symmetrical (machine-like) shaping were made with primitive hand tools as the main-stream narrative tells us?

@Eggolem @DrZamilov Adam Young never said this

@DrZamilov In that case, your post should refer exactly to what Adam Young said, and not "many of you said, over and over", which is false.

Replicas of Predynastic Egyptian granite vases are ready! Samples are made in China. So many of you said, over and over, that these couldn't be made today, with lug handles and thin walls. Yet here they are. So let's see how they turn out. So far, only 3 people have donated to have these made, yet the fundraiser is incomplete. Do you want to know the truth? Then, contribute (even if $20) so the order can be placed: paypal.com/donate/?hosted…. A $1000 donation gets you a vase: red or black, your choice! @Graham__Hancock @MBeallX @markqvist @DrDavidMiano @BrightInsight6 @DeDunkingPast @TonyTrupp @SnkBrs @DrHughT @megaminutiae @alexandertolano @ChrisWithRobots @FoMaHun @Apkalluu @goob_the57373 @oligodynamick @ET_Iconoclasta @Bastet545169547 @adancingferret @JosephAPWilson1 @outofspace2 @occamsrazor22 @AncientEpoch @PortantIssues @uapcappa @stinegerdes @FlintDibble @karolypoka @UnchartedX1 @ArtifactFNDN

@DrZamilov @Eggolem Wrong. Adam Young never said this.

@Eggolem Wrong. Adam Young claims the OG could not be made today, and even showed some failed replica attempt he commissioned in China during his Cosmic Summit presentation.attempts

@marleydidit4130 @karolypoka @JonesDanny Thank you

@ArtifactFNDN @karolypoka @JonesDanny excellent interview gentlemen

Thank Danny Jones for having us on your show! We are proud of our research, and love talking shop! @karolypoka @JonesDanny youtu.be/VgPM1fEpkYY?si…

They say this is the #1 most precise artifact to ever come out of Egypt. Independent researchers Adam Young & Karoly Poka discuss the impossibly precise measurements of this granite box, found 100 feet beneath the Bent Pyramid.

@THEWelshUgandan @MBeallX @stinegerdes @karolypoka Yes, fair point. And we try to be, particularly if there are a large quantity of artifacts available for analysis.

After 30 months of metrological rigor on PV001, the truth emerges with surgical precision: Mark Qvist's π and φ² ratios hold up under CT-scan scrutiny (0.05-0.17% error), while his Radial Traversal Pattern collapses. arcsci.org/articles/revis… But the real story isn't the math - it's the misconduct. Artifact Foundation's systematic data manipulation, plagiarism of draft reports, fabricated museum policies, and legal threats reveal how "ancient precision" claims evaporate when integrity fails. PV001 remains a unicorn - exceeding industrial CNC precision with RMSD of 22μm - but its flawless surface shows zero wear. The probability of three interlocking ratios occurring by chance? 0.004%. The probability of two such "ancient" vessels belonging to the same collector? Statistically obscene. My conclusion: This isn't 5,000 years old. More likely off by a factor of ~1,000. When researchers present incorrect data as ancient marvels while threatening critics, they've crossed from questionable scholarship into scientific theater. Extraordinary precision claims require extraordinary evidence - not extraordinary evasion of peer review. Data > Dogma. Always. I came into this project hoping to find solid evidence that could be used to ascertain the existence of a lost civilization, instead I found a noisy dataset (both physically and morally). If the community really wishes to rewrite history by documenting a so far unknown civilization, we need to stay rigorous and true. @UnchartedX1 @MBeallX @markqvist @ArtifactFNDN @karolypoka @DrDavidMiano @BrightInsight6 @DeDunkingPast @TonyTrupp @SnkBrs @DrHughT @megaminutiae @alexandertolano @ChrisWithRobots @FoMaHun @Apkalluu @goob_the57373 @oligodynamick @ET_Iconoclasta @Bastet545169547 @adancingferret @JosephAPWilson1 @outofspace2 @occamsrazor22 @AncientEpoch @PortantIssues @uapcappa

@THEWelshUgandan @MBeallX @stinegerdes @karolypoka This object has been scanned many times now, so I cannot comment on what someone else posted unfortunately. I have never altered data. But of course I can make mistakes and I said something incorrect, I am happy to issue a correction. Let me know what is incorrect.

@THEWelshUgandan @MBeallX @stinegerdes @karolypoka No CT scans were altered or smoothed. The scans were taken by Zeiss, the manufacturer of the equipment. No data was falsified.
