Egyptologist Reveals Missing Metal in Granite-Cutting | Dr Martin Odler - Ancient Technology Podcast
This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Martin Odler, Egyptologist and leading expert on ancient Egyptian copper tools. We dig into topics like: the Petrie core and the feed rate debate around its spiral drilling marks, how ancient Egyptians may have used a lathe to produce stone vases, the Giza iron plate and whether it's actually ancient, the Labyrinth of Hawara, and the evidence behind who really built the Great Pyramid. Along the way, we also cover the mysterious empty sarcophagus of Queen Hetepheres, the Sabu disc, and what modern archaeological science can still uncover about Old Kingdom technology.
