This is amazing. Hours of watching Smithsonian, History, and Nat Geo channels - and I’ve never seen anything like this explored with so much raw, unedited passion and incredible detail. Amazing stuff.

As a modern granite and marble fabricator (mostly countertops and sinks) I couldn't imagine how they accomplished making this stuff. Everything we use is embedded with Dimonds. The saw blades, drill bits, router bits, grinding wheels, polishing pads all embedded with Dimond and we have modern equipment that spins very fast and uses water to cool as we work the stone. There's no way they used chisels to shape these pieces. Especially the softer stone like alabaster or the white lime stone. The granite which is the stronger and more dense would chip fracture and break to pieces the softer less dense lighter color transparent stone, forget it. Those who have worked with it understand how delicate it actually is. They had to have had some sort of machine that spins to grind this stuff into it's shape. The vases you're talking about having to shape the outside as well as the inside. That is a very large amount of stone to have to get through while not breaking it. What sucks is in order to polish the stone, you have to first sand out all the tooling marks or any scratches in order to get a proper polish. Everything has to be completely smooth then to get the polish you use a finer Dimond pad every time and the finer the pad the greater the shine on the stone. But during the polish process you remove any tooling marks that show how you shaped it. Making this stuff today with modern tools, power, and running water is difficult. I don't even understand how it was possible for them

I’m just astounded by everything I saw: the exquisite pottery , the endless tunnels, the huge carved stones . I was especially pleased to see everyone documenting and admiring all this work.

Thanks for taking us on a trip millions of us won't be able to take in real life. Keep up the great work.

That removal and dumping of the alabaster blocks is a major disgrace. It's disgusting what they did to it.

We can now only imagine what else was down there made of alabaster, removed, discarded & crushed on the ground outside, it’s criminal, these places need protecting and photographing. You have an amazing job, thank you for sharing that with us, the artefacts that are still inside those tunnels are beautiful especially the large boxes.

Revealing such mysteries poses even more questions than answers. Good work.

So thoroughly thankful for this... What an honour it is to descend into and travel through this marvel with everyone... As vicarious as the experience may be, the visual information alone is invaluable. Not to mention your narration! THANK YOU.

This incredible work that Ben does bringing us information about how advanced previous civilizations were makes me so appreciative in awe & wonder Thankyou

UnchartedX is literally the best channel for this content. The presentation is excellent as always!

Man, this was amazing. So great to experience such a visit through the eyes of one so well researched. The consideration of the camera work and the narration was also first class. The number of subscriptions this channel is richly deserved. JRE brought me here. New subscriber here and thank you.
