Nobody can figure out just WHAT the F it used to be... My vote has always been on a pump impeller of some type, either for pumping water for ag or hygiene purposes, or as a propeller of sorts... I've always wanted to machine one from stainless steel, exactly duplicating the example, and devise a means of turning it at high RPM under water... I'd be willing to BET it acts as a strange sort of water jet propulsion device, sort of like a very efficient ducted fan sort of arrangement. Cool as hell either way what ever it may be... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42621495 It is difficult to tell where a particular item belongs, without seeing more of the whole plan. But in any case, it is an extraordinary part with 5000 years under the belt, that shows us again a puzzle piece that fits not into the officially big picture. Glad if you are interested in these topics! Niemand |

The Egyptians had soooo many? ;-) In this video you can see: The Lamps of Dendera, The "Stethoscope" & surgical instruments of Komombo, The Schist Disc of Sabu, The Saqqara Bird, and the "Aircraft" & "Helicopter" & "Submarine" of Abydos.

There's no way to create such an object by carving! They must have knwn a way to plastifify the rock, like clay, in order to make that shape. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 38162288 There's no way to create such an object by carving! They must have knwn a way to plastifify the rock, like clay, in order to make that shape. Schist is characteristically foliated, meaning the individual mineral grains split off easily into flakes or slabs. The word schist is derived from the Greek word σχίζειν schízein meaning "to split", which is a reference to the ease with which schists can be split along the plane in which the platy minerals lie. Most schists have been derived from clays and muds which have passed through a series of metamorphic processes involving the production of shales, slates and phyllites as intermediate steps. [link to en.wikipedia.org] It looks to me that it was made from clay and then it transformed into schist! This object might be much older, from a civilisation that existed hundreds of thousands of years ago. |

Quoting: Oengus As it is only one piece of the machine, we will most likely never know what it was used for. That was my first thought its carved out of a single piece of rock way too sophisticated for such a menial task. |

Cool as hell either way what ever it may be... there is speculation that the Egyptians diverted the river and used locks as a way to float the ginormous blocks to build the pyramids. maybe they needed to be able to pump the water as you speculate. |

That was my first thought its carved out of a single piece of rock way too sophisticated for such a menial task. Egyptians where the first people to understand mass production. And producing grains in that time was not a "menial task," it was one the most important task that they had. Now look at the pictures of it again. If you had a piece that was close to the same shape, smaller and inverted, would it not rotate inside the one they found? "we all need a helping hand, at the same time giving two to help" - me |
