Matt Beall, CEO of Bealls Stores, has introduced a private collection of ancient Egyptian vases that he claims could challenge and rewrite historical understanding of Egyptian craftsmanship. Spanning over 5,000 years old, these vases exhibit unprecedented precision and detail, leading Beall to suggest the use of advanced technology such as lathes, a notion contested by traditional scholars due to a lack of supporting archaeological evidence. Beall, who has dedicated three years to acquiring these artifacts, collaborates with engineers to investigate their construction, igniting a debate on ancient technological capabilities in Egypt.
Many of these vases are carved from single blocks of hard stones, showcasing a level of precision that rivals modern machine work. Beall argues they indicate a lost technology.
Beall's claims challenge traditional views of Egyptian craftsmanship, stirring debate among scholars regarding the existence of advanced tools in ancient civilizations.
'There was certainly a lathe involved. But the tools needed to make these things aren’t in the archaeological record,' Beall stated, emphasizing his belief in lost ancient technologies.
The fine detailing of these artifacts prompts a reevaluation of what is understood about the technological capabilities of ancient Egyptian civilizations.
