This is an investigation into the story and mystery of the enigmatic tube drills of Old Kingdom Egypt. A story that stretches across 150 years, from Petrie to Lehner to Dunn, this is an astonishing tale, with a startling and challenging conclusion!
A full length documentary, this has been in the works for a long time! I will release several ‘addendum’ videos on this topic. Please consider supporting UnchartedX for more work like this via the value-for-value model at http://unchartedx.com/support !

Ben,
If one can’t inspect the drill core in the museum it should not been to difficult to make a mold at Abu Sir ( as I been talking about Before here ) and then send it to some that can 3D scan it and then we can see exact from the computer ( not manually ) how federate is and if it is vertical, diameter change etc.
Today this is not a expensive or very high-tech.
That would set up most of the speculation around this subject.
Why this easy things can’t be done its strange.
I as a armature with not a government payment can do this, so why is it is not done from others who has income from research/books etc try to give this information out.
We all know talk is cheap, but proof is proof.
Before this is done, it will not lead anywhere.
We are many that understand this is before our timeline, but to get it out proof of cores etc must be done.
Let’s hope it happens Hank. I will continue to call for it. As you said, it should be a simple thing. There are many other drill cores in museums that we could be analyzing also.
It would be a good idea to design and create a diamond core drill that would recreate the exact spiral grooves in the ancient granite core. I would imagine that it has a diamond cutting head imbeded on one side of the tube. As a consistent pressure is applied it would cut into the granite at a consistant rate as the tube is rotated. Water can be poured into the tube to flush out the cut material. I have a collection of diamond core drills I use for my glass work. We do not give ancient civilizations credit for their ingenuity in solving these problems. I have examined Roman Glass bowls in the British Museum. I marveled at the skill and craftmanship of the artisans work. Keep up the good work. I support the Dunn theory. Patrick
The mystery here is that even with the very best modern diamond core drill, the drill must make many, many rotations to advance a very short distance into any material with substantial quartz content. The core studied in this video seems to suggest the drill was advancing more than a millimeter per turn.
One can inspect core 7 at the Petrie museum. It has been done this year. A photo composite has been made. No spiral whatsoever.
nonsense, go watch my documentary on it. The spiral has been conclusively proven – and photographs of the core (like you mention) have been conclusively proven to be deceptively manipulated in mainstream textbooks. Whats more – you offer nothing except words here. How about a link, at the least?
I’m trying to wrap my mind around how you can make a mould and extract it without affecting the resulting grooves
This was an absolutely fantastic video and explanation of Tube Drilling, you’ve gone much deeper than Brien Forrester, and I am so enthralled with ancient advanced high technology. If only we could go back and actually see how they did it almost 12,000 years ago. Thank you for all the fantastic information, I thoroughly enjoy all your videos and in depth analysis.
Thanks so much Jeff!
Ben, I very much enjoy your content, particularly this exploration of drill hole technology.
Maybe I’ve just missed it, but I haven’t seen much in the way of explanations for the purposes of the holes. The examples seen in videos seem pretty random.
Thanks!
I have a couple thoughts on that in the second episode. I think it was primarily for material removal in places were straight cuts would not work, the insides of boxes or spaces bordered with vertical walls, things like that. It’s still how we remove material from ‘inside spaces’ today in woodworking etc. use a drill to penetrate the material, then hammer/chisel out the cores and spaces between the drill holes. Some of the locations for isolated holes are odd though, I’ll grant you. I do not know what their purpose was, and it’s hard to tell as the sites have been so badly quarried and re-arranged over the previously few thousands of years.
Just a thought…
I have always thought that the schist disk looked like a wave guide or even a resonance chamber without the lid.
In one of the excerpts from I believe it was Chris Dunn (I’m bad with names) he stated that the mechanism might have included a sonic technology.
The schist disk’s 3 dimensional parabolic design seems to me that it would either be designed to focus waves away from the center or into a lid to possibly amplify them through resonance.
Imagining further, I would slide the disk as it resonated with sound up or down a tube passing through the middle of the disk until I felt the tube begin to resonate being driven by the resonating disk, or even possibly saw it start to do work. Work meaning, removing material. I am supposing that the frequency which it oscillated may be outside human hearing or even too high of a frequency to feel. Assuming one only had one precious stone to embed into the end of a copper or bronze tube, one would then rotate the apparatus which would then cut to the depth of the protruding stone on each revolution.
My thought was that I would make a notch in the end of a tube, drop the stone onto the piece to be cut and place the tube notch over the cutting stone. I’m sure that there would have been relatively few of these precious stones in comparison to the rest of the sand of the desert. So if dropped or worn down, they are not likely to be noticed with other artifacts. Does an archaeologist look for baguettes or sapphires while digging? A course or unfinished diamond looks like any other rock. When I learned to gold pan I learned that often gold-panners throw out precious things because they don’t recognize them, and that is what they are there to do, find precious things. Also since this is supposedly not possible at all for the builders of the pyramids to have done who would look for something that doesn’t exist? One has to know what one is looking for to find it.
Anyway I’m sure you hear lots of crackpot ideas concerning this stuff. If my text doesn’t make sense I could probably draw a picture or even make a 3D model in google sketchup or something. In the model in my mind however, it would exactly make the helical lines as it cut which would match what is observed.
I have ideas about the source of the sound which would be able to perform this work, but that’s an entirely different subject and another 20 paragraphs on it’s own. Hearing someone as learned as Dunn mention the mechanism to perform this work include sound made me think I can’t be the only other person to draw this conclusion. More minds are better than one, so I thought I’d share.
I may have missed this but have any tube drills been recovered from any of the sites? Do we have any examples of any of the tooling that may have been used in the past?
No tools have been found.
A great video with well spoken comunication and some visuals I had not yet seen. Thank you for your diligence and sharing.
No longer is this a mystery.
Round cores and intrusions in aggreagate found in Egypt are created with a round metal tube, transducer with piezelectric quartz crystal, a horn, and abraisive slurry.
I demonstrate on youtube a sonic hole in granite made in 58 seconds. A star hole and a triangle hole in granite on seperat short youtube videos.
Star holes (Norway and USA) and geometruic holes (Puma Punku) are made by shaping the tube. The shape of the tube dictates the shape of the hole.
No laser, no 60,000 psi water jet, and no rotating diamond tools can achieve this feat in one continuous motion . It’s the inward force that superceeds that of the external.
The ethereal force between tool and aggregate creates microscopic explosions (sympathetic destruction) in abrasive slurry that enables the tool to move forward through most any hard or soft aggregate in one continuous motion.
I feel Mineralogist and Gemologist may have a lot of helpful information (knowledge) for researchers.
example:
The tube of lapis Lazuli (beginning of video) shows minimal amounts of Calcite and Pyrite in the lazurite suggesting mines in Afganistan or Siberia as sources of interest, whereas a lot of calcite would suggest Chilli as a mine source.
I am open and willing to share what I know to anyone interested.
Hi,
Copper tube and abrasive powder of some kind for
tube hole drilling of granite used in ancient Egypt I understand.
What is that transducer you suggest? Are there any evidence
they were familiar with this technique?
Sagi
It wasn’t done with copper tube and abrasives. They leave signatures that are absolutely nothing like the ancient examples we see, in particular Petrie’s core #7, and it’s been demonstrated many times. It’s, CONCLUSIVELY, a deep spiral groove on that core. Case closed. That was the entire point of the video.
Hi Ben (?)
I got aquinted with this channel through this video 1st.
Great research. I’ve been a long time fan of ancient Egypt
and specially the great pyramid and everything related to it.
Recently I got familiar with Bruno Coursol blog which I must
say, after going over quite a bit of tasess, articles and ideas,
cracked this enigma as far as I’m concern.
The main idea he is laying out is that the function of thr great pyramid was for sodium carbonate production intended for the
mummification process used by ancient Egyptians.
The natron was produced by solvay like process.
His articles are fascinating. Most recommended.
Also recently I was reading few chapters from Efrem piccin
book The Architect Hemiunu, dealing mostly with the
engineering aspect of the pyramid.
Regarding tube hole drilling in granite of ancient times,
from my brief reading and watching your video
(Though parts of the English I not quite catched)
I tend to believe it was done by copper tube rubbing abrasive
powder.

This is all concrete casting, one can manipulate the
block as will. I guss Davidovitch eventually have the right guss here..
casting tube drills? Casting granite? Nonsense.
Hi Ben,
I appreciate your replies, so I let myself post some
comments from time to time, sharing my personal
observations and insights with hoping of being answered.
Anyway, in some way that topic has led me to Joseph Davidovits
book suggesting these whole structure Limestone blocks were
artificial, man made out of concrete.
STUNNING EVIDENCES!
Make a lot of sense. With the exception of granite, which wasn’t
man made nor been carved, it was split and then roughly adjusted, before Finley smoothly polished with abrasives.
The delorit stone found inside the great pyramid was for dealing
with final adjustments of granite blocks on site.
And on a completely different topic, if this interests you,
look for a photo (or perhaps you’ve been there yourself before)
of the west side of Campbell’s chamber above the king’s chamber, gables rafters, they are extended beyond.
There is an additional room beyond.
A tiny hole drilling and camera insertion would reveal wonders!
Best regards
Sagi
to desired measurements
if you look at some drill holes at Puma Punku you can see the same boring technique as the core 7 example.
This boring technique isn’t unique to Egypt.
