I dont think this is a novel claim. But It would seem to be a confirmation of an older claim.

The claim that the pyramids and all the megalithic structures were built using the knowledge of making geopolymer concrete. NO ALIENS NEEDED ;)

Basically, one had to know the recepy for ratios of different stones which are pounded to dust, mixed with water and then heated up.

Maybe in certain places on the Earth energy of the Sun would be enough and no extra heating would be required.

Some speculate that the sculptures of the medieval times, the Renaissance, and Baroque, are also casts... especially the very detailed lace and veil statues.

I love these exposes.

Working just wood there are oops, oh shits ! that can ruin an entire piece without the aid of the chip, some wood dust and crazy glue. There is no way that those things were 'carved'.

I build furniture from wood, If I didn't know the tricks I would have given up long ago... measuring is my greatest issue... so I just don't see how they could have done it out of marble.

also: consider like grains in wood even stone has flaws an inclusions. How much quarried marble is absolutely perfectly homogenous? I don't know but the poured statues have zero defects that I have seen.

Many of the Renaissance sculptors were initiated to secret societies and practiced alchemy and other “occult arts”…..however they also trained all their lives since young age as apprentices with “Maestri” …..So I think yes some of this is possible. However there are still many mysteries such as the color depth on Caravaggio paintings and the realistic hues and tones https://www.caravaggio.org/ .

That's always fascinated me that with low tech pigments they could model what we call real life better than with high tech pigments these days.

Thanks for the links. I examine all alternative views but they have to have a basis in science to be taken as being credibly. When people quote the bible that is an alarm. Clint Richardson did the word-deconstruction on Giants (Nephilim) to see that it meant Great Men of Renown. That's different than Really Big Dudes. A hebrew scholar pointed to all of the clues that Goliath was a retarded physically disabled big dude (who happened to be killed on three separate occaisons). Then we to to materials science (video is behind a paywall) where there is a physical size limit after which the structure will break down the animal under gravity. So Giants beyond the Guiness book are out of the question. Acromegaly is a DISEASE that makes people big but they ALL suffered joint and bone problems and like Andre the Giant had weak backs to the point where he was disabled and his stunts were faked for The Princess Bride.

I'll be looking at the building aspects of the channel that you sent but I discount the Giant part out of hand.

They all look like precast aggregates to me. I never heard about this theory but it surely explains better than bunch of slaves pushing rocks on rolling logs.....

Are you saying that Rock and Roll originated in Egypt?

Was Elvis there shaking his loincloth?
