Revealing Clues to an Ancient Mystery
The Mystery Box of the Lahune Pyramid Tomb
by A.R. Nash 1-26-2021
This object is direct evidence of extra-terrestrial technology. That is the case because all ‘possible’ terrestrial means of producing it fail. Every form of technology has its limits, and this object is beyond the limits of terrestrial technology both past and present in any practical sense.
That is the case because of how it was made, which accompanies the fact of how it was not made. It was not made of five slabs bolted together with an added collar, but of a single piece of granite. I don’t say a “single block” of granite since it was not made from a block.
What exactly is it? No one knows…or has ever known since its discovery by Sir William Flinders Petrie in the late 1880’s. But what else do we not know? We do not know who made it, when it was made, how it was made, where it was made, or why it was made…until now. I believe I have figured out how it was made as well as why it was made.
After thinking about it for a long time while trying to get some sleep (-getting to bed at 4:30 AM thanks to my Facebook work dealing with ancient stonework), the answer to why it was made finally presented itself to my mind. So before explaining how it was made, I’ll first share ‘why’ it was made.
It was made to serve not as a vault (too small, plus, no lid) nor as a sarcophagus, same problems, but to serve as an upright, vertical, framed showcase inserted into a rectangular wall void to hold or display something (or things) of great worth, such as trophies, weapons, -a masterpiece of sculpture or electronics.
One of its ends is four inches taller than the other due to a top surface that slants downward four inches end to end, with the inside and outside bottoms being level, which confounds everyone since there’s no other “sarcophagus” like that on Earth. And the degree of straightness measured for one of the top edges was only seven thousands of an inch off from absolute true straightness.
There is only one conceivable explanation for such a construction design (unlike any other such object known) and that was to make the end wall (that would be the bottom when upright) deeper than the top wall which makes its bottom heavier and therefore more secure against falling forward during an earthquake. Being bottom-heavy is more stable than equally weighted if the ground suddenly lurches backward. Such movement would be very bad news for whatever was ‘on display’.
It’s other unique feature is also thereby explained, namely the ‘collar’ that surrounds its opening. It served as a frame. That was more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than just a simple unframed case.
As for how it was made; that is best deduced by considering that the top surface and the sides are perpendicular. But first let’s consider how it was not made. Looking at its surface closely we see two important things. One is in regard to what we do not see, and the other in regard to what is seen but easily, and naturally, overlooked.
What we do not see is any sign at all of tool marks. That would include chisel marks, sawing marks, drilling marks, and sanding scratches. None of those are visible because the surface is smooth and free of tooling marks.
Everyone needs to understand that no saws existed in deep antiquity that could “cut” granite into the shape of that box because it would take ‘forever’, and chisels of copper and bronze and stone (such as obsidian and sharp-edged granite shards) are no threat to granite. Plus, it would have been especially impossible since its measurements in all dimensions are essentially perfect, -so neither pounding nor manual ‘sawing’ via the simple, slow, tedious action of an abrasive ‘slab saw’ (employing grit to grind away stone mass) could ever produce such perfection, nor would any designer ever conceive of attempting to form such a box with primitive technology. Keep in mind that it is literally “one of a kind” or “sui generis” as the French term describes it so it had no antecedents.
But even if it were successfully attempted for the first and only time ever, that would still leave the insurmountable problem of hollowing out the inside mass of the ‘stone block’. That has never been done successfully with copper or bronze tools, and is unlikely and unthinkable even with hardened steel hand tools.
But in addition to the prohibitive amount of discomforting labor (and time) that would be needed, the character of the box would never result from anyone who managed to endure the torture of such a task. That ‘character’ is one of perfection.
The interior surfaces are all straight and true to within a few thousands of an inch. No bulges and no dips in the surface. Perfect flatness from end to end, top to bottom, side to side. And every corner forms a perfect 90% right angle. That is a feature that can only result from casting in a framework that forms such perfect angles. So that is what I’m claiming as to how it was made. It was cast in a framework that produced the resultant perfect shape.
That does not mean that it was melted and poured, but that it was instead made with crushed granite that was reconstituted…as its surface reveals. If its surface was totally smooth as expected, then that would mean that the natural granite was rendered pliable, malleable, like clay, by employing molecular bond disruptive technology. [~Evidence of Molecular Bond Reversal… & Ancient Stone Softening Technology~ https://sciencetheory.wordpress.com/2019/08/19/evidence-of-molecular-bond-reversal-ancient-stone-softening-technology/ ]
But its surface is not totally smooth. Instead it’s pock-marked with micro-cavities that should not and would not exist if it was natural granite.
When granite is cut by diamond cutters the resultant surface has no micro-cavities (that are quite visible to the naked eye). Instead it is very solid and smooth. That indicates that no saw ‘cut’ that surface, -besides the fact that the stretch of ‘molding’ would not exist if the surface had been ‘cut’.
Look at those close-up photos. The second one is from another cast object and it shows clearly that the surface is not perfectly smooth as it should be and would be if it were natural granite. Granite cannot be cut. It can only be ground away with jewels as hard or harder than it, like diamond, corundum, emery, or topaz, -and also quartz but at an unacceptably slow rate.
So that leaves….chisels. But there are no chisel marks. Perhaps they were ground away with some kind of emery stone, but again, there are no scratches from such a grinding process. The surface is perfectly flat and somewhat glossy with no signs of tool marks. That surface is not what results from splitting or grinding granite. They do not cause pockmarks to appear.
But if granite is crushed and reconstituted (with powerful binders or molten quartz) and then pressed into a box form (that shapes the outer walls) that contains a smaller box form to form the inner walls, it could re-solidify with advanced curing methods. But if those methods do not include high heat and pressure, then those little pockmarks will be present, and that is exactly what is seen in the surfaces of the walls.
So the only conceivable possibility left is that the surface was formed while the granite was pliable, moldable, malleable, plasticine, consisting of reconstituted granite bound together by binders and cured by a process that is unknown to the modern world.
That surface is exactly what would result from pressing man-made granite into a mold. If the binder material, and the processing technique did not result in a rather liquid-like product, then the result would be a surface that appears pock-marked.
So if the box was made using reconstituted granite, how was it done…generally speaking? The most logical answer is that it was done upside down…with the rim or collar or frame being formed in a frame surrounding the outer mold box, preventing its sides from reaching all of the way to the ground or mold bottom (which would form the top surface when uprighted), being shortened by the height of the frame which extended outward several inches from the box’s walls.
With the inner box form not placed inside, that outer frame was filled with shoveled in granite that was tamped in tight, then, with the inner box form inserted in the center, the space between the walls of the two ‘boxes’ would begin to be filled.
The upper edges of the side walls of the mold boxes were not cut at 90 degree right angles to the vertical sides but at a sloping angle resulting in the four inches difference between the height of each end. More photos of the box are seen in the slideshow to come, but first learn about the box from the man who discovered it and chronicled its perfection; Sir William Flinders Petrie.
Here are some salient comments that I saved from my comments to the video that inspired this analysis:
I’ve worked with marble & granite for over 25 years. There is absolutely no way that was done with primitive chisels. Even with todays technology and tools, this is incredibly hard to carve out. To get the inside corners so precise is almost impossible. Whatever it was that they used, it was definitely powered by something other than muscle, granite is far too tough to chisel like that. They must have had some power source which was at least equivalent to electricity, and used diamond tipped tools or something even tougher.
DigitalDNA
As a stone worker and ‘all things stone’ fabricator for the past 20 years, I can say that in my company, we put beveled edges or “eased” edges on stone to prevent them from chipping damage. Natural stone is most fragile when it comes to accidental damage. With that being said, as a professional Mason, this box was not made with copper chisels and hammers.
No. Way.
By the way, granite is one of a kind. Melting it down is impossible, as you would not get the same crystal structure anymore, which would just turn it into crumbly lava like rock.
Adrien Nash: This post was motivated by the Youtube video by Ben at Uncharted X titled: The MOST precisely made granite object of Ancient Egypt – and why it’s NOT geopolymer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Ejf5etV5U&t=1564s
I will share this video to my Facebook group (Ancient Stonework Mysteries) along with several screen captures but I will include these comments to set the record straight that the ONLY explanation for the mystery box that had no lid (and could not fit through the entry to the chamber) is that it was CAST in a PERFECT MOLD in place via the non-terrestrial future advanced technology of stone softening or reconstituting of crushed granite.

When ever I see some intricately carved rock my mind blows . As a tradesman I understand the amount of labor that goes into making things perfect. The planning stage is critical. “Perfect” doesn’t happen by accident . You must be a skilled and trained craftsman to produce Any kind of consistency. Let alone thousands of craftsman working together to create GIANT architecture. In FRICKEN ROCK !
Rock is incredibly hard to work precisely in.
And somehow “they” whoever the hell they were, have produced precision before precision was a thing . And it’s still standing thousands of years later.
The Knave
I agree. The internal corners of that box blow me away.
I’ve worked as a craftsman and technician, including stone and precision machined components. You simply cannot – CANNOT – get that level of precision with hand tools. It is impossible.
DilbertMuc
Did you ever see a laser on stone? It doesn’t work. The laser heats up individual crystals in stone which vaporize and explode instantly.
When cutting stone by laser the surface is very rough due to this micro-explosions. In a homogenous crystalline structure like metal that does not occur and thus metal can be cut precisely by laser. That’s why stone is cut by high-pressure water jets or by saws.
The unfinished obelisk shows regular scooping marks from some kind of rotating grinding abrasion tools. Like an excavator machine. And they are all the same width, so definitely a machine tool.
Forget Zahi Hawass with his slaves pounding diorite balls against the hard granite.
Wormweed
Everyone who has some experience with precision machining instantly knows this is 100% impossible with hand held tools, including modern tools. You don’t just get lucky on this kind of surface precision and paralell precision.
Carry The Torch
I was an aerospace machinist for 11 years. I ran very, very precise machines. You can maintain a couple thousandths tolerances fairly easily, even 5 ten-thousandths of an inch. However, the longer the dimension, the more difficult these tolerances are to keep. Slight changes in temp even can change your dimensions. This box is unbelievable. I cannot wrap my head around it.
pat jay
Well said. With experience in both machining and stonework, I can say with confidence that this box and room are impossible to re-create in our modern time regardless of the budget. Whoever made them used technology that has never existed, -not now, not ever. (?)

Granite cannot be cast. Cannot. There is nothing whatsoever that you can pour into a mold, let it cool, and wind up with granite. Period. Granite does not come into being that way. Granite can only be quarried. It is formed in the ground over millions, maybe billions of years. That is the only source of granite. The only answer to the question, “Where’d that granite come from?” is, “The quarry.”
Adrien Nash
Granite certainly came from the quarry, but not in extracted blocks. There is no way to correlate any quarry locations with the one hundred+ huge granite objects that were supposedly quarried. Just try to find such evidence and you’ll realize it can’t be found.
Granite, like all matter, can be molecularly destabilized to change it from a solid state into a plasticine state, -or into powder by total molecular dissociation. That technology absolutely exists and was captured on video twenty years ago.
Here, a small (and seemingly insignificant) hole was made in a granite block of an obelisk at the temple of Karnak. The hole has a depth of about 10 centimeters, or about four inches, and it’s cut at an angle of about 15-20 degrees from the horizontal.
Those of you who’ve ever worked with a drill can imagine what it’s like to try to force a drill into a concrete wall using a single thrust. The drill starts to go sideways. Meanwhile there are no signs that any kind of hammering took place here, and the drill just entered this granite as if it were packing foam or some kind of soft wood. Furthermore it could enter at any angle.

These are pieces of a sarcophagus…made out of half-quartzite (-an under-cooked sandstone). And with these pieces of a sarcophagus we’re dealing with interior angles using three planar surfaces (a right-angle tetrahedral inside corner). Not a single modern stone-working plant is capable of making these kinds of angles.
When we consulted with the people that are developing a laser in Troisk near Moscow they said that “yes, you could do this with a laser”, but you’d have to have a power generator that is half the size of this room to supply the energy needed. There was no evidence found of the melting effect of a laser.
Brandon Mackinder re: the massive, mysterious Serapeum boxes:
Adrien Nash, l am a machinist. I have that same crystal pink precision surface plate along with a black granite surface plate. Even with today’s modern technology, the corners are not sharp. There is a somewhat large radius in the corners of the ledges.
Those granite boxes inside the Serapeum are super deep and the size of the radulae’s is so small and keeping in tolerances of .001-.002 of an inch over that distance with a nearly sharp corner is impressive. The size of the cutting tool not only has to be smaller than the radius, but it needs to be a bit longer than the depth of the pocket.
Granite is brittle and hammering it makes it chip and break. If these were made by being poured, there would be very little variation in the stone as it would be equally mixed. I don’t know why you must be so set on everything was geopolymer. It doesn’t work here. It may have some applications but places like Sacsayhuaman, Machu Picchu, Ollyantaytambo, Q’enko, it just wasn’t the case, and it wasn’t the case in Egypt either. Precise blocks were cut, stacked and formed somehow. Some form of machine like a EDM machine is a real possibility though.
Adrien Nash
Brandon Mackinder You have reservations about the casting of what becomes hard stone but you cannot pinpoint any science that declares that no technology could ever exist to make it possible.
I made it extremely clear that they were NOT the product of Egyptians only, although it is likely that the Egyptian descendants of ‘the gods’ made some of the boxes using some of the advanced technology or techniques employed by their ancestors.
At least one was cast with Egyptian faux-wood styling and inscriptions, so take it as my assumption that the explanation for the Serapeum is nowhere near being found. But that does not mean that no explanations can be deduced from the evidence. Some things were just too hard and too precise for any known terrestrial technology to produce in pre-dynastic Egypt.
That being said, if the climate of Egypt were colder, then perhaps they could have cold-cast a big block of stone material on perfectly flat ice and thereby achieved a perfectly flat surface that other similar surfaces could have been cast on, including metals. Or, the totally flat surfaces of broad slabs of poured copper or lead might also be precisely flat.
But without pouring man-made stone onto such perfectly flat surfaces, and using them as mold walls, what could have possibly made such precise surfaces possible other than technology not of this planet? Don’t forget the many examples of Egyptian rulers with elongated skulls. Those genes were certainly not of terrestrial origin.
Adrien Nash
Brandon Mackinder You say that you don’t know why I focus so much on man-made stone, well this is why in your own words: “Granite is brittle and hammering it makes it chip and break.”
EXACTLY! Yet what do we see in Egypt all over the place in granite? We see inscriptions with ZERO micro-fracturing along the inscribed edges. That is IMPOSSIBLE with chisels.
We see inner surfaces of inscriptions that are PERFECT…FLAWLESSLY FLAT. Not a tool mark anywhere. That is only possible by casting.
No one has yet proposed a means of achieving such perfection and no one ever will because none exists. It’s that simple. In order to exist in the form in which they exist they had to have been cast even though we do not understand the technology behind it other than by using pulverized stone, crushed stone, or softened stone.
But I have tons of photo evidence that I have not yet had the time to share. And I have already shared 50 times more than you have yet seen. But it’s out there in the Facebook Photos and Albums of my group “Ancient Stonework Mysteries” under the MEDIA section.
Dear Ben of Uncharted X, luv your videos but please explain what exactly you mean by the term “geopolymer”.
Do you mean that it cannot possibly be granite comprised of either 100 % natural granite that was softened and pressed into a mold or was crushed and reconstituted with 5% +/-binder material or molten quartz crystal?
You claim to know what it is not and therefore what it must be because you judge that book by its cover, but that is not science. That is assumption.
And while answering that question maybe you can also explain this granite veneer.
Finally, while you take a stand about what it must be, you take no stand at all about how it was made. Is it that you simply have not thought about it? Or have you had thoughts but they only lead you to a dead-end since you apparently have ruled out advanced technology and advanced casting techniques.
- Francois Clermont Your proof it was poured is a little biased. What is the start of the liquid granite idea? It was proven cut mark traces are all over Egypt, made with a tool 1-2 mm wide and with immense power. Each time i see a round drill hole i can see the concentric mark the same as in the Petrie core #7. It is strange you can jump to the conclusion of poured granite where i can see traces of very high technologies.
- Adrien Nash @Francois Clermont You need to take into account two realities. One is that BOTH technologies were used, but we cannot assume that the use of advanced power tools was extensive except in regard to limestone, but huge pendulum saws could have substituted.
FACTOIDS:
Through the process of case-hardening, granite becomes harder with age.
The technology required to make tempered steel chisels was largely forgotten during the Middle Ages.
As a result, Medieval stoneworkers were forced to use saws or emery to shorten repurposed ancient columns or cut them into discs.
Giorgio Vasari noted in the 16th century that granite in quarries was “far softer and easier to work than after it has lain exposed” while ancient columns, because of their “hardness and solidity have nothing to fear from fire or sword, and time itself, that drives everything to ruin, not only has not destroyed them but has not even altered their colour.”[64]
Sculpture and Memorials
In some areas, granite is used for polished gravestones and memorials. Granite is a hard stone and requires skill to carve by hand. Until the early 18th century, in the Western world, granite could be carved only by hand tools with generally poor results [because it is so brittle that it chips and micro-fractures along chiseled lines].
A key breakthrough was the invention of steam-powered cutting and dressing tools by Alexander MacDonald of Aberdeen, inspired by seeing ancient Egyptian granite carvings. In 1832, the first polished tombstone of Aberdeen granite to be erected in an English cemetery was installed… It caused a sensation in the London monument trade and for some years all polished granite ordered came from MacDonald’s.
…granite memorials became a major status symbol in Victorian Britain.
Modern methods of carving include using computer-controlled rotary bits and sandblasting over a rubber stencil. Leaving the letters, numbers, and emblems exposed on the stone, the blaster can create virtually any kind of artwork or epitaph.
I’m a geologist. Here’s my 2 cents. The granite stone you show looks like an alkali-feldspar rich plutonic felsic igneous rock. The dominant mineral by far is the reddish orange alkali feldspar and the minor components are the white (quartz & plagioclase) and dark (biotite & amphibole) minerals. Quartz is transparent and plagioclase is more opaque. It has a porphyritic texture meaning the feldspar crystals are larger than the crystals of the other minerals.
Every magma chamber has a different chemical composition because the specific part of the crust that is being heated and melted has its own rock composition and formational history. Therefore it is possible to do a chemical element analysis of the carved stone and match it to the host quarry stone. This is what geochemists would do.
Veins are 3D fracture planes created during deformation events after the rock has been formed. The voids are then filled by superheated mineral fluids (generally silica/quartz).
Granite/syenite is the solidified (crystalized) form of magma chambers deep below the surface, made of continental crust melts in this case.
The large crystals are created because the minerals have lots of time to grow due to the slow cooling inside the magma chamber. So the minerals have time to crystallize into distinct, large crystals of feldspar, quartz, plagioclase etc. This cooling takes many many years, thousands of years even.
The extrusive forms of granite and syenite are called rhyolite and trachyte respectively. These rocks are the same chemical composition as the magma chamber but physically they appear different. They form by the rapid cooling of the magma as it hits the fridge-like temperatures of the atmosphere, going from its liquid phase above 700°C down to 25°C in an instant. It’s like a process of flash freezing.
The minerals inside the extruding magma have hardly any time to grow before they are cooled below their individual solidus temperatures, where they turn solid. The cooled rock is therefore very fine grained so it can be very difficult to distinguish from another fine grained rock and would require a microscope to see the crystals.
Felsic rocks like granite and syenite hold more volatile gases like CO2 and are also very brittle when cooled so rapidly, so they tend to erupt more explosively than the slushy soft basaltic lavas of magma chambers like in Hawaii.
