It is customary to introduce videos and links. That means stating what you think is of value.
I do not watch videos. There are reasons such as bandwidth. So what is in this video that is of interest?
And I never said a global flooD ie one that covered the entire globe.

Once again someone wants to misuse a term. A global flood is one that covers the entire globe. Are you now referring to a local flood.
You are the one making the claims. It is your burden to support your claims. I do not need to introduce any evidence. You need to support your claims.

The onus is on those making the claims to support their claims. I have no need to provide evidence that shows anything at all.
PS It is spelled you're, not your.

Basalt has a hardness much less than the 8 to 9 which would place it closer to corundum than the spars it is composed of.

The evidence is circumstantial at best since there is only marks that are used to imply a situation. Where are the saws, the blades, trace metals on the surface, left over abrasives, broken pieces left at the work sites, or the manufacturing processes to make that equipment? The ancient Egyptian was smart. They could develop successful methods with the available technology. Maybe the problem is that modern man isn't as smart or as willing to learn how the ancients were able to solve problems using less sophistocated technologies.
"That the Egyptians were acquainted with a cutting jewel far harder than quartz, and that they used this jewel as a sharp pointed graver, is put beyond doubt by the diorite bowls with inscriptions of the fourth dynasty, of which I found fragments at Gizeh; as well as the scratches on polished granite of Ptolemaic age at San. The hieroglyphs are incised, with a very fre-cutting point; they are not scraped or ground out, but are ploughed through the diorite, with rough edges to the line. As the lines are only 1/150 inch wide (the figures being about .2 long), it is evidence that the cutting point must have been much harder than quartz
no soup for you! How about you first answer the question that you are still dodging - explain the ancient maps that pre date the ice age... If you cant explain it with source evidence its ok to simply admit it. Theres still much to learn about our world, and we cant know it all. So what about the ancient maps?

well said... Im still waiting for the explanation on ancient maps etc despite providing sources a few times, the same excuse of source plz bounces back. He seems to avoid anything that doesnt fit in the box. Seems very selective also, only providing sources if it suits the purpose... Sigh! If it were so easy to replicate the pyramides, then why have todays archetechs clearly stated that with thats at their disposal today, ie lasers, tools, equipment, knowledge etc they would be unable to accomplish the same feat in todays world, and the precision of accuracy still has them baffled let alone being able to replicate it. I think you have raised some good points that are supported by some of the worlds leading archetechs. Thumbs up!!
Please provide any architect that says we cannot duplicate the pyramids

i provided the source article location as such your responce is redundent. Simply saying you dont believe it can exist simply dont cut it. The maps were real enough for columbus to use so still no soup for you - try again!

How can I comment other than to say there are NO maps that predate the ice age.
As I asked you before show me any paper that old let along a map.
Back to corner for you for not reading.
