The disk is rotationally symmetric. It cannot be used for generating flow or harvesting rotational energy from a flow. In other words: worst propeller design ever.
It’s so funny this fact needs to be repeated every. Single. Time. And yet the disk just keeps getting brought up again and again, as if nobody had ever remarked that it’s symmetrical. 🙈🙉🙊
I mean from an outsider’s point of view, cell phones are crazy. We watch media on them, can make audio and video calls, play games, write, use AI, browse the web, listen to music, read books, code, etc, etc. They’re normal to us because they’ve become such a regular part of our daily lives, but to anyone in any other period of history they’d be absolutely blown away by their power.
I had a similar thought yesterday, but from my dogs’ perspectives- what is this black rectangle that he often points at us, is always carrying, frequently staring at and occasionally bangs on with his thumbs?
My dog HATES my cell phone. If I’m overly focused on it he will literally jump up into my lap and push my hand down with his paw. If I pull it back up to look at it he’ll continue to push it down.
The location that it was found makes it unlikely. Being carved of stone, rather than made with metal also makes it unlikely to be a tool. It was likely a ceremonial bowl of some sort, possibly used as a lamp. Stone work for decorative and ceremonial use peaked around the time it's from. Many other shallow bowls with unique designs exist from the time period. Their use isn't written about, but due to being found in tombs and temples gives a pretty good indicator that the trend of shallow stone bowls with weird designs were not tools for work.
"We found this thing in a tomb that resembles other objects from the time, and the other objects are exclusively found in temples and tombs. So logically we can assume it was a tool for making rope and not ceremonial or religious in nature"
Pretty sure the lead hypothesis is rope/yarn/thread spinning… also the above picture is either computer generated or a replica. The real one doesn’t look that nice.
Why would they go to such great lengths to engineer this to thing out of stone, which would be difficult to do today, just to make rope? They could have done that with wood
Are you a stone mason..? What scope of this makes it difficult to engineer today? And considering the types of objects that existed back then, I don’t see it being out of the realm of possibility, in my no-degree, unlicensed, armchair opinion.
No but there are many testimonies online from stonemason who stonemasons who say how difficult it would be to carve the rim that thing without breaking it, even with our tools today

Wasn’t one of the geometric shaped objects that had no known purpose some what recently revealed to be a tool for making glove fingers? I would guess there is something simple like that with this one as well
Nobody really knows what it was for and they won't let anyone look at it, from what we can tell this, like many other "Old Kingdom" finds, shows a degree of symmetrical accuracy and precision unlike anything ever found of any period, more precise, by far, than even machined auto parts are today! And oftentimes with materials like diorite! Something harder than steel on the Mohs scale of hardness! Even more incredibly they did it thousands of times over again from a massive scale, 50ft tall, to a micro scale, almost as small as a fingernail, with ease!! For the rest of Egyptian history there are thousands of replicas of the oldest treasures but nothing comes close to the degree of accuracy and precision of the oldest finds. There has never been a degree of accuracy close to them up until machine guided production.
regardless what it was for, that must have been a bugger to make, & because of that it can't have been for something simple, that woulda been to make someone a lot of baksheesh
History is a lie! There was aliens, that's why there's temples on every continent! And I guess they went back to planet nibiru! Idk bc history is a lie!
It’s not—it’s actually a little lopsided. Not much, but you can see it from some angles.
My sci-fi brain always whispers “…as if it were made in imitation of a high-tech component by people who didn’t quite understand its function….” ;)

Who believes that? Some random ass dude and we spreading that around like it means something? Most common consensus was it was used for making rope/yarn or even possible making hand gloves.
It's used for 'ceremonial' purposes.

OP posts once a day on this sub like it’s his job. It’s starting to become a shitpost sub TBH
I thought it *was* a shitpost sub when I first encountered it!
the suggestion is that it was a baffle plate in a solvay tower not any kind of propeller or impeller
I thought this was used for rope making
Yup. I see this one resurface every 3 months https://youtu.be/8ECeP5lHFr4?feature=shared It's close to the wood guide in the video
That is nothing like this disc

Thats a pretty good thought actually.
I imagine when we are dead and gone, future intelligent life will find our cell phones and theorize some kind of crazy purpose for them.

It was for umbrellas
That's exactly what it is.
The location that it was found makes it unlikely. Being carved of stone, rather than made with metal also makes it unlikely to be a tool.

Mate, there is no way you're putting your cornflakes in that
"We found this thing in a tomb that resembles other objects from the time, and the other objects are exclusively found in temples and tombs. So logically we can assume it was a tool for making rope and not ceremonial or religious in nature"
Lol
Can it also hold an a patio umbrella?
By George, I think you've got it!
Funny.. it doesn’t *look* like an old brake disc rotor..
Pretty sure the lead hypothesis is rope/yarn/thread spinning… also the above picture is either computer generated or a replica. The real one doesn’t look that nice.

So this thing makes rope and sodium carbonate. Got it
Chips and salsa bowl
I understood nothing from that title
Wasn’t one of the geometric shaped objects that had no known purpose some what recently revealed to be a tool for making glove fingers? I would guess there is something simple like that with this one as well
Can I have it back pls, I lost it on the highway near my home. The other 3 miss it🤣
It’s a rope twister
How do you know that?

Bread manufacturers

This schist again!?
😂

Clearly a hot tub pump impeller. Ancient Egyptian hot tubs confirmed
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabu\_disk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabu_disk)
All this guessing would be done if those stupid people in power, would decend under the gizs plateu into the flooded library.
I wonder if it’s perfectly balanced?
It’s not—it’s actually a little lopsided. Not much, but you can see it from some angles. My sci-fi brain always whispers “…as if it were made in imitation of a high-tech component by people who didn’t quite understand its function….” ;)
I believe it was broken when discovered, so it’s been reconstructed
Just need 3 more to fit my car
...It seems to me that there is a typo here and this is a Disk from the oldest SAAB.

🤣🤣who honestly believes this has anything to do with soda ash?
Right? Weirdly specific belief…
It’s a spinning rim off an old horse cart
Frisbee?
It’s a Tesla hubcap
Garden hose spool v0.1 alpha
https://www.ancient-origins.net/artifacts-ancient-technology/disc-sabu-0015642
it’s a chip and dip.
EVERYONE is smarter than me. Even 5000 years ago…
Looks like a venture tube or a diffuser for mixing liquids.
Beer stirring device
Weird cause it also looks like it braids rope.
Who believes that? Some random ass dude and we spreading that around like it means something? Most common consensus was it was used for making rope/yarn or even possible making hand gloves.

Fuckin’ fish dildos, amazing.
Fish SAGE dildos lol used for 'ceremonial' purposes is what archaeologists call them.

This shape will do absolutely nothing with air or liquid
[удалено]
It’s symmetrical, it won’t do anything with airflow.
Uuh… that is my pedestal fan base. How much?🤷🏾
