Scientists Against Myths | Diorite vase: 2 years of blood, sweat and hate | Experiment results @ScientistsAgainstMyths | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Is it possible to make a vase from an extremely hard stone using ancient Egyptian technology? No metal: just stone, bone, wood, sand and a lot of persistence. No one has done this in the last couple of thousand years.
The project started in August 2020 and lasted more than two years. The funds were collected through crowdfunding on the Planeta.ru site. We thank everyone who helped the experiment take place! Reconstructors Olga and Yulia spent 5 days a week hammering, chopping, sawing, drilling and polishing diorite in a small workshop in Kemerovo, under the watchful gaze of two webcams broadcasting online.

Experiment results:
Total duration: 790 days (546 work days)
Initial weight of diorite piece: 15.36 kg
Workpiece weight after cracking: 3.78 kg
Final weigh of the vase: 1.12 kg
Maximum length of diorite piece: 42 cm
Final height of the vase: 15 cm
3D models of vases made during three experiments: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/71rKssBQLPEZcw
We thank Pavel Krasnov for the 3D scans.
Characteristics of the 3D scan of the vase:
- Deviations from the circle in three sections perpendicular to the axis of the vase, within ~0.3..0.4 mm.
- The angle between the axis and the plane of the upper end is ~89.92 degrees.
- Deviation from the flatness of the upper end is within ~0.12 mm.
The measurements using Geomagic Design X software were carried out by Alexey Pimenov, a specialist in 3D measuring systems.
Materials consumed:
Sand: 6 bags (various fractions)
Tar: 7 kg (part was unusable)
Leather: 2 halves of cow hide
Cow bones: 2 metatarsal, 2 unidentified
Sandstone: ≈ 300 kg
Gravel: under 200 kg
Granite: 2 small pieces
Dolerite: 1 piece
Desna flint: ~50 splits
Zaraysk flint: ~30 splits
40+ hammers (gravel, leather, wood)
Maple 1.5-4 cm thick – 100+ sticks
Birch (small piece)
Rope: sisal, jute, flax twine (several meters long, tried for sawing)
