Sample from the book Lost pyramid builder technology, Christopher Dunn, ISBN 978-80-7336-706-0:

Assuming the use of a hand-held device that allows the tool to rotate about its own central axis to machine the curve from the spherical crown node up to the base of the granite object, the tool must not deviate from the prescribed curve if a regular and symmetrical shape is to be maintained. In this case, the tool must be massive enough, otherwise it will be unstable and will jump off the track. Once the tool has traversed the entire curve, its center of rotation must be shifted by a certain degree along a precisely defined circular path. In Figure 1 (p. 1.12), we can see that the center of the curve is 35 degrees lower than 45 degrees, which means that the path of the tool center point around the granite object does not describe a pure circle but rather a wave. To explain this in more detail, suppose that the side view of the crown represents the outline of a section of 90 degrees of a circle. Using the field coordinates (Fig. 270), we start machining the tool at 1.30 degrees and move it clockwise around the crown. At 0 degrees, the center of the tool will be lower than at 315 degrees, and the same will apply to the position at 270 degrees. As the tool moves along this arc, the axis along which it rotates will accurately describe the arc between the tangent of the continuous radius at the crown node and the base, while the radius of the arc gradually decreases from 225 to 0 degrees. Subsequently, it will gradually increase from 270 to 270 degrees in the same ratio as before on the opposite side.

The degree of difficulty required by Ramses' crown would be high at any time. Even before 50 years ago, we would justify asking if it is necessary to construct such intricate ornamental machines that will rest on the head of a 12-meter sculpture and hardly be noticed. If we were to produce a dozen of these crowns today on the basis of the same design and only minor differences, then we would probably create a computer model and a subsequent computer program. And then we would start to find out if anyone had such a large CNC automatic machine on which to make these pieces - because no crumbs are decisive.

What we can find today in Egypt is therefore an example of the extraordinary technical maturity of ancient engineers, which until now nena1s in their academic interpretation of Egyptian history have their place. Moreover, we managed to convince the whole world that the old Egyptians were not technically as advanced as the Recians and the Romans, and certainly no more advanced than the current Western civilization, so even today's Egyptians believe in this belief and refuse to trust other interpretations.

The ancient Egyptians have long been believed to have used simple, even primitive, tools and procedures, and thus revisionists look among historians for other cultures to which these works would be attributed. For example, it has been speculated for some time that the Pyramids were built by the Atlanteans or even by the aliens, for the Egyptians themselves would not be able to do so, according to the prevailing opinion. I do not like these views too much. On the contrary, I am firmly convinced that they are the work of the Egyptians - of course, those Egyptians who ruled much more advanced knowledge and tools than we have so far granted them to 1i. Let us realize that these hidden symbols of technology, which I refer to in this book, could only be registered and understood through modern technology and its precision requirements.

Concepts, execution, and verification are the three stages of the production process. The ancient Egyptians had to know them all well, and at the last verification stage, 1 verified how successful the previous two were. The only phase we can study today is the last one. From what we have found on the Ramses Crown case, we can safely conclude that the technical level of the ancient Egyptians was demonstrable higher than today, according to their archaeological finds, claimed by academics. But one question remains unanswered: What technology did they use? While today's Egyptian craft 1 has revealed modern instruments such as digital cameras and computer software, we can hardly assume that the builders at that time are available. At this point of ancient history remains a big question mark. In order to better understand the technology that created remarkable granite crowns, we have to shift our study and look at how the rest of the statue was made. In the next chapter, the question of precision and sXNUMxožitnost will be brought to a new level, when we look at the face still the production challenge: Ramses' head ...
