Episode notes
Modern CNC Can't Recreate The Interiors
- Modern CNC shops in China attempted replicas but couldn't match the ancient internal hollows.
- CNC-produced vessels showed exterior circularity far worse than the best ancient examples.
Tiny Diorite Vase With Extreme Symmetry
- The Petrie Museum's smallest scanned vase had a median circularity of ~70 microns.
- That tiny diorite piece measured around one inch tall and showed astonishing symmetry.
Material Matters For Achievable Precision
- Alabaster and pottery can be symmetric but generally not to the granite vases' precision.
- Some alabaster examples approach high accuracy, but granite/diorite remain distinct outliers.
