It is believed both type was created at same time but everything speak against it. If you look at some of the very old king statutes you see the same! They are made PERFECT like never be done in later periods but the added inscriptions are like scratched graffiti!! It is the same with the large old polished sarcophagi in the Serapeum.
To see the difference you have to compare the stone vessels which are dated to the Naquada culture (real stone age as we know it) with their simple pottery. It real looks like they also just imitated this perfect stone vessels out of clay. Also the tools they had was just simple flint and this high quality stone vessels can not be made out of flint.
I believe they are from an high culture that was wiped out approx 12.000 years ago. Just remember Platos story!

Did you ever saw the "pharaonic" unfinished Aswan Obelisk (the largest ever made) and it´s stone age Naquada paintings on it?
How the hell can stone age or so called pre dynastic paintings be on a much later Obelisk (compare the paintings with the Naquada vessel!)

I think everything we was "teached" yet is BIG B/S! But that´s just my personal opinion

I'm not saying this is accurate....Old Kingdom hardstone works seemed to be the height of the "art" and production.
With less produced going forward in future time periods.

This article hints of greater interest in crafting gold and other metals as opposed to retaining the more labor intensive hardstone works as productive "art".
Timewise /labor time , competing against gold crafting by grinding hardstone.....Might have been devalued as an outdated art due to labor hours required?

This article is exact what mainstream archeologist tell but there are some problems.
The older vessels was made with a core drill in first step and than carved out wider. I have restored those old vessels and measured the thickness of every single shard - all of exact same thickness at the body and also under the shoulder which is bent 90 degrees in some cases!
I have restored also those vessels with a very thin neck and the entire body was of same thickness of 3 mm and exactly shaped like the outside! How can this be done with such drilling tools like the attached pic and with flint blades when there is not one carving/drilling line to see on the inside if the vessel? How did they polished away this carving lines when the neck is only 2 cm wide on the inside and how did they carved out the same shape under the shoulder of the vessels
All later made vessels from New kingdom as example has this carving lines which comes from the use of flint blades. Just larger ones with a wide opening are polished from inside but there you will find different measurements of the thickness of the entire body.
All this core drill holes you can find on different places are interesting too. Seems they are only to find on the oldest buildings and later they didn´t know anymore how it can be done.
The drilling lines shows clearly that they pushed the drill 2 mm forward on one single rotation with a lot of pressure. Would like to see how people do this by hand with a rotating wood drill
The big problem with archeologist is, that they never did any craftsmanship by their own and worked with such materials. This doesn´t help to solve the problem! They all just came up with some crude theories which doesn´t fit at all.

I feel higher than the..


I just saved a small fortune by switching my business and personal accounts to PNC from BoA.
I'm talking a good grand or more per year.
I also found out that I can get unlimited rolled coins and FREE wrappers for bringing them all back which also is not a problem for them.
Glad to get my business.
I caused some contention in the coin roll hunting forum here by posting that the banks will give you wrappers for FREE if you simply ask.
I'd been buying wrappers for years.
Anyways, I found out while inquiring about coins that some guy comes there every week to pick up half dollar coins that customers bring in.. Dang it anonymous person lol

This was long already, but the bank manager was very nice and talkative.. I NEVER shut up lol
I ask her how long she has been in banking, 35 years.
I asked her if she thinks that the tin hats are correct about a potential cashless society.

She floored me with her response which was, "I see that happening within the next generation."
Wow.. Honesty from a banker!
I'm sold!

Relics of a technological nature that far exceeded the civilization doing the tiling you are involved with. Making them out of context.
Only the crude inscriber's additions added at later dates tie them to the later people...

The seemingly lost technology of the relics you mention (and the obelisk's are just a couple examples that beg attention , among others) hints of a culture/ civilization predating the Egyptians given historic record of origins of themselves and certain structured creations.

Predynastic ? Sure. The lost Giza civilization tied to the foundation of Tomb of Khentkhaus ? Or an older one?

Quite an area of study . I know little about.
But a lost technology being unsolved , I can agree with.
