Advanced Engineering in the Ancient Egypt Temples

From massive stone blocks and perfectly fitted joints to drilled granite, polished surfaces, complex geometry, and machining marks that remain difficult to explain, Dunn argues that conventional accounts of ancient Egyptian construction may not tell the whole story. Could these monuments preserve evidence of engineering methods far more advanced than historians have traditionally accepted? In this episode, we enter the workshops, temples, quarries, and stone chambers of ancient Egypt to investigate the tools, techniques, and technological questions raised by some of the most astonishing stonework ever produced.
