About Ben (UnchartedX)

Credentials: Software engineer by profession; independent researcher specializing in metrology and precision measurement at ancient sites

Australian content creator and independent researcher behind the UnchartedX YouTube channel, one of the most technically rigorous and visually compelling channels dedicated to investigating precision engineering at ancient sites. With a background in software engineering and a methodical, data-driven approach, Ben has documented anomalous precision in ancient Egyptian stonework using 3D scanning,...

Notable Works

• UnchartedX
• Precision of the Serapeum Boxes (2020)
• The Great Pyramid Interior Analysis Series (2022)

Key Theories

• The granite boxes in the Serapeum of Saqqara display machining precision that cannot be explained by conventional tools — Using precision straight-edges, feeler gauges, and 3D scanning equipment, Ben has documented flatness tolerances on the ...
• The interior of the Great Pyramid's granite coffer displays precision inconsistent with hand-tool manufacture — Ben has measured the granite coffer in the King's Chamber using precision instruments and found that its interior surfac...
• Modern experimental archaeology has not successfully replicated the precision observed in ancient Egyptian granite work — Ben has reviewed and tested multiple proposed conventional explanations for Egyptian granite working — including copper-...
