Impossible Granite Vases in Egypt: The Toshka Gap

The YouTube video "Impossible Granite Vases in Egypt: by The Toshka Gap" by "Night Scarab" is an informative ands sober look at the claims made by the YouTube pseudoarchaeologists about "lost ancient civilizations" with their supposed "lost technologies" based on these stone vessels, which are dated deepp into the pre-dynastic period. Criticisms have been made of attempts to measure items from the antiquities market and try to use this as "evidence" of a "lost advanced technology". Sometimes proponents of these models attempt to rescue the idea by citing excavated examples. One example has been YouTuber Ben van Kerkwyk from "Uncharted X" making a number of claims about a few well-made, supposedly ancient Egyptian vases from a burial site name Toshka. The video demonstrates pretty convincingly that what is quoted as "evidence" of this, too, it is a false claim. No stone vases were found by Wendorf in Toshka, nor is the photo most often used by the YouTubers from Toshka. This is part one of a short series.

So many more of these glib claims made by clickbait-farming YouTubers need fact-checking like this.
