History lesson

King Tut's coffin is made of pure gold, the degree of purity of the gold of our ancestors was not achieved by science until the beginning of the 20th century. A block of pure gold weighs about 110 kg. There is no block of gold as heavy as this one on Earth... This very precise interlacing and inlaying with turquoise, agate and all gemstones is unparalleled on the planet... None of these thousands of small pieces of precious stones fell despite remaining underground in a very hot desert for about 3,500 years... This magnificence, fabulous precision and miraculous beauty has not been repeated in all human civilizations... Now it is not possible to create something like that, no matter how modern the equipment they use. This is the pinnacle of human miracle and the pinnacle of manual skill since the first man walked the Earth.

Now it is not possible to create something like that,

I'll refrain from typing the profanity that first came to mind and just say that that is arrant nonsense.

@ninalanyon look it up then

@NinaTina Look up what? As @DeWayfarer says we can if anyone is willing pay. We can build whatever we like atom by atom now. The idea that we cannot manufacture things to the same standard as or to a higher standard than the ancient Egyptians is quite absurd.

Every computer chip is evidence against you. The precision with which even the cheapest mobile phone is made surpasses anything made in ancient times. We now have computing devices with more than 135 million transistors per square millimetre, we have devices that comprise 100 thousand million transistors in one silicon chip.

@ninalanyon how long does it last

@NinaTina How long does what last? If you are referring to a block gold constructed atom by atom then it will last just as long as any other block of gold.

@NinaTina The problem is that there are plenty of people who do believe that the ancient Egyptians could do things that we can't, or alternatively, that they couldn't do them and needed aliens to do those things instead. On the Internet without body language and perhaps a sly smile it's hard to tell whether you are such a believer or not.
