Was the mighty 1100+ ton Unfinished Granite Obelisk at Aswan Quarry carved with dollarite pounding stones? What about the mysterious scoop marks found here? A special, in-depth investigation into the history, claims and science surrounding this mysterious site.

After years of visiting the Quarry, and utilizing some new technology, we take a deep dive into these topics and make some new observations - leading to some remarkable possibilities that impact our understanding of ancient civilizations, and the technology they used.
