Pyramids Of Giza

🚨 Before the pyramids were even built, someone was carving granite vessels with walls thinner than a fingernail.

Over 40,000 of them were found beneath Saqqara.

🔹Cut from granite, diorite, schist
🔹Handles carved from a single block
🔹Some showing remarkable symmetry
🔹Some with walls just millimetres thick

A number of these vessels display a level of precision in hard stone that remains difficult to account for with known period tools.

If this capability existed before the pyramids, what does that say about the timeline we've been given?
