Hi Everyone!
I'm proposing that the ancient Egyptians & older civilizations were using a type of pictorial reverse printing press.
Here is a link to a Crespi Collection video, which shows many huge sheets of gold with pictorial scenes, most of which could be used in the casting of building blocks with scenes on 1-5 sides. Link: [www.bitchute.com]
I'm not sure how they made them but suspect that they first carved the scenes into a hard wood maybe with end grain up, but may not have been necessarily, then using a press like an olive oil press to form an image using a gold sheet, or hand pounded it like they still do in India. This gold sheet then can be made & used to have the scene coming out of the face or pressed into the face blocks or walls to protect the scene.
They made the statue of liberty outer shell by the same method of a wood model that they then pounded the copper sheets over the wood model.
They could then reuse the sheets to make other blocks or in a tomb they could be used after plaster or other material was applied to the wall the scene could have then been pressed against the wall or ceiling and if your poor they take the gold plates and if it were a Pharaoh, then maybe the plates were left, and at a later date someone stolen the gold plates/wallpaper and were left with just an imprint of the plate/wallpaper.
It always amazes me that when people look at some the old stone structures they see them as primitive on some which may just be the framework for a fabulous building decked out with gold and jewels & maybe wire on structures that was used in advanced tech but the metals were most likely some of the first things to be looted.
Petra for instance, what they say are pick or machine marks on the wall, as I see it could be machine or tool marks that were left that way on purpose or created to create more surface area with better grip to hold wallpaper/gold sheets. One of the hardest types of wallpaper I used to hang was thick and stiff, and you actually had to use clay paste to hold it on.
I had worked with wallpaper & ceramics and molds since elementary school and to me its obvious that this is a method that was simple but advanced it had a few steps.
When making blocks for a temple for example they could make a plaster molds from the plates and place them in the mold for the blocks, or left the gold plates on the plaster so that the plate keep its shape. I had previously proposed that where they say that blocks from cut near one of the great pyramids, that it could have been used as a jigging area to make many blocks at once, and at Teotihuacán one huge slab looks like a jig rig setup to make and pour heavy blocks and that the H stones were possibly used as fillers and holders of different molds in place, on the multi-use platform.
Every time you make a mold for something it requires you to make a separate structure for each mold then you remove or destroy it in some cases and I had pondered a table that you could use to make all shapes and sizes of stuff, and it looks a lot like the big slab at Teotihuacán with the h blocks as filler and mold holders.
To me casting using clay. geopolymers, concrete, plaster & even mud-brick is advanced technological method.
Watching an old video of John Anthony West on Egypt and I just watched a video on
the Crespi museum & his collection a few days ago, I didn't link it because I didn't save it, and the series has now removed, it was 5 hours long & a number of videos from people that had been to his museum and also after the fires and recorded some of his extensive collection, & yes I know he may have bought a few fakes through the years but most of collection seems real and it's a huge tragedy that his collection was not only lost but never investigated properly. So I decided to post my thoughts on the issue, and the gold plates seem to be the same size as some of the blocks in the Egyptian Temples and I have though this is how they did it at least on some building projects in the past, to me the Hindu temples were prefabricated somewhere else or on site and then assembled, using a molding or reverse printing method to create a pictorial story in artificial stone, making it appear as though they were carved.
I apologize in advance to moderators I did search the topic but didn't see anyone with this exact topic, maybe I missed it.
Edited Added: Chaged dome to some.
Edited Added: Not sure if you have seen any of the great sand art people do, it;s amazingly detailed and they make them so fast. I think it would be Cool to spray a coating of something on them to harden them where you could make molds off of them.
The chineese and other cultures also do some fantastic huge whole wall wood carvings which could be a left over skill from a time when they used them to make plates that they used to produce may copies from, or an old craft from before they used them as molds but I suspect both to be connected.
