Well… this is awkward. I’ve done a complete 360. I originally believed the basalt floor tool marks east of Khufu’s pyramid were ancient saw cuts and possibly evidence of lost technology. Then a 180. A few years ago, I made a video arguing they were modern. George Reisner’s Harvard expedition worked extensively in this area, a modern road once crossed over these stones, and I’d heard accounts from locals describing how people used modern tools to remove stone for the forgery trade. Given all that, it seemed like a reasonable conclusion at the time. After taking a much closer look today, however, I’ve changed my mind. I’m now convinced these cuts are ancient.💯 That doesn’t mean the technique was impossible for the ancient Egyptians. Clearly, it wasn’t. But aspects of how they achieved these cuts may still be lost to us. So the “modern cuts” debunking theory can now be placed quietly in the bin. Chalk one up for the alternative historians and YouTubers who argued these cuts were ancient. They were right after all, and I stand corrected. Funny old thing, evidence. It has an inconvenient habit of changing minds.
