Evidence fr Dunn, The Pyramids

Someone suggested that the evidence was sketchy, so I thought I’d take a fresh and bring to light facts some may be unaware of. Today’s feature: Chris Dunn.

Claim: Human history has not been as linear as science, & evolutionary history appear to purport.

Here are some excerpts from an article by engineer Chris Dunn on the how machines would have been required for construction of the pyramids.

“A variety of people have speculated that to erect a building as perfect as the Great Pyramid, the builders must have possessed supernatural powers. Some even speculate that the builders used lasers to cut the masonry and then levitated the stones into place in the pyramid.”

On cutting granite:
“estimated that a pressure of one to two tons on jeweled tipped bronze saws would have been necessary to cut through the extremely hard granite.”

Could the Ancient Egyptians really have done it with the limited technology they supposedly possessed?
“So far, Egyptologists have not given credence to any speculation that suggests that the builders of the pyramid might have used machines instead of manpower in this massive construction project. In fact, they do not give the pyramid builders the intelligence to have developed and used the simple wheel.”

About using machines:
“While no one can say with certainty how the granite coffers were cut, the saw marks in the granite have certain characteristics, which suggests that they were not the result of hand sawing.”

“… evidence points to the distinct probability that the pyramid builders possessed motorized machinery when they cut the granite found inside the Great Pyramid and the Second Pyramid.”

“…evidence of the use of high speed machine tools”

A large part of evidence comes from observed errors in construction:
“The errors noted by Petrie are not uncommon in modern machine shops, and I must confess to having made them myself on occasion. ... Once again, while working their drill into the granite, the machinists had made a mistake before they had time to correct it.”

Better than today:
“…ancient Egyptians were able to cut their granite with a feed rate that was 500 times greater or deeper per revolution of the drill than modern drills.”

“as far as masonry work and construction are concerned, they exceed[ed] current capabilities and specifications. Making routine work of precision machining huge pieces of extremely hard igneous rock is astonishingly impressive.”

The puzzle continues:
“To identify copper as the metal used for cutting granite is like saying that aluminum could be cut using a chisel fashioned out of butter.”

Precision in the pyramids:
“…the builders of these relics, for some esoteric reason, intended for them to be ultra precise.”

“They had taken the trouble to bring into the tunnel the unfinished product and finish it underground… The solution then as it is now, of course, is to prepare precision surfaces in the location in which they were going to be housed.”

Conclusion:
“The precision in these artifacts is irrefutable. Even if we ignore the question of how they were produced, we are still faced with the question of why such precision was needed. Revelation of new data invariably raises new questions. In this case it’s understandable to hear, "Where are the machines?" Machines are tools. The question should be applied universally and can be asked of anyone who believes other methods may have been used. The truth is that no tools have been found to explain any theory on how the pyramids were built or granite boxes were cut! More than eighty pyramids have been discovered in Egypt, and the tools that built them have never been found. Even if we accepted the notion that copper tools are capable of producing these incredible artifacts, the few copper implements that have been uncovered do not represent the number of such tools that would have been used if every stonemason who worked on the pyramids at just the Giza site owned one or two. In the Great Pyramid alone, there are an estimated 2,300,000 blocks of stone, both limestone and granite, weighing between 2½ tons and 70 tons each. That is a mountain of evidence, and there are no tools surviving to explain its creation.”

“…New technology and advances in the sciences are enabling us to take a closer look at the foundations upon which world history has been built, and these foundations seem to be crumbling. It would be illogical, therefore, to dogmatically adhere to any theoretical point concerning ancient civilizations.”
