Chris Dunn: Advanced Machining in Ancient Egypt

4 snips

Nov 1, 2025

Chris Dunn, an engineer and author known for his work on ancient Egyptian technologies, explores the astonishing engineering feats of ancient Egypt. He presents a stone-by-stone analysis of monuments, revealing that sophisticated machining and advanced tools were used to create them. Topics include the precision of Ramses II's statues and underground tunnels, the connections between Giza's pyramids, and the implications of SAR scans. Dunn's insights challenge conventional views, suggesting these ancient artisans possessed advanced manufacturing expertise that still fascinates today.

INSIGHT

Deep Shafts Form A Coupled Pyramid System

The SAR scans suggest huge deep shafts under Giza link to pyramid structures as a coupled system.
Chris Dunn connects these shafts to engineered pulse generators tapping igneous rock electricity.

INSIGHT

Earth Rocks As A Natural Battery

Friedemann Freund's lab work shows stressed igneous rock generates mobile positive charge carriers.
Dunn argues the ancients deliberately accessed stressed igneous rock to harvest earth electricity.

INSIGHT

From Skeptic To Supporter On SAR Data

Dunn initially doubted SAR-derived CAD renders but later reviewed raw scans and grew convinced of spiral shaft features.
He now accepts the shafts as real and central to a larger Giza engineering system.

A unique study of the engineering and tools used to create Egyptian monuments

Presents a stone-by-stone analysis of key Egyptian monuments, including the statues of Ramses II and the tunnels of the Serapeum

Reveals that highly refined tools and mega-machines were used in ancient Egypt

From the pyramids in the north to the temples in the south, ancient artisans left their marks all over Egypt, unique marks that reveal craftsmanship we would be hard pressed to duplicate today. Drawing together the results of more than 30 years of research and nine field study journeys to Egypt, Christopher Dunn presents a stunning stone-by-stone analysis of key Egyptian monuments, including the statue of Ramses II at Luxor and the fallen crowns that lay at its feet. His modern-day engineering expertise provides a unique view into the sophisticated technology used to create these famous monuments in prehistoric times.

Using modern digital photography, computer-aided design software, and metrology instruments, Dunn exposes the extreme precision of these monuments and the type of advanced manufacturing expertise necessary to produce them. His computer analysis of the statues of Ramses II reveals that the left and right sides of the faces are precise mirror images of each other, and his examination of the mysterious underground tunnels of the Serapeum illuminates the finest examples of precision engineering on the planet. Providing never-before-seen evidence in the form of more than 280 photographs, Dunn’s research shows that while absent from the archaeological record, highly refined tools, techniques, and even mega-machines must have been used in ancient Egypt.

Christopher Dunn is a master craftsman and engineer with thirty-five years of experience. In the last twenty years, he has published a dozen magazine articles on his theories about ancient technology,
including the much quoted Advanced Machining in Ancient Egypt in Analog.
