Researchers are still not sure what kind of extraordinary object they are dealing with…

This peculiar object created 5,000 years ago appears to be part of a component of an ancient unknown advanced mechanism.

In January 1936, a strange disk was unearthed at the plateau edge of North Saqqara, approximately 1.7 km north of Djoser's Step Pyramid in Egypt

The discovery of the mysterious prehistoric artifact, that many considered as a device, was made in the so-called Mastaba of Sabu (Tomb 3111, c. 3100-3000 BC) by a famous, British Egyptologist Walter Bryan Emery (1902-1971).

Sabu was the son of Pharaoh Aneddzhiba (fifth ruler of the first dynasty of ancient Egypt) and a high official or administrator of a town or province possibly called "Star of the family of Horus".
The burial chamber had no stairway and its superstructure was completely filled with sand and stone vessels, flint knives, arrows, few copper tools and the most interesting schist bowl in fragments.

The unearthed device named the Schist Disk, is approximately 61 cm in diameter (24 inches), one cm thick, and 10.6 cm (4.2 inches) in the center.

It was manufactured by unknown an means from this very fragile and delicate material requiring very tedious carving--the production of which would confound many craftsmen even today.

Now many important questions arise.

What was the original function of the device?

Scientists do not think the object is a wheel, because the wheel appeared in Egypt 1500 BC, during the 18th Dynasty.

If the Schist Disk is in fact a wheel it would mean ancient Egyptians possessed knowledge of the wheel about 3000 BC during the time of the first dynasty! This would require Egyptologists to re-write some history books.

If the Schist Disk is not a wheel, nor modeled after the wheel, what is it?

Some scientists suggest that the fragile nature of such an intricately carved stone object greatly limits is practical usage and suggests a purely ornamental function, being of a religious or other such ritualistic purpose

Of course, some believe that this subject served another purpose, just to be able to drive foot oil lamp.

However, critics of this theory argue that the three-blade ceremonial lamp hardly possible, because of the shape and curvature of its petals, which seems to suggest a function, not just decoration.

Did ancient Egyptians had technology far beyond the current?

There is one option that is even more challenging, namely that we are dealing with some kind of unknown advanced ancient technology. Is it possible ancient Egyptians had technology far beyond the current?

Egyptologist Cyril Aldred reached the conclusion that, independently of what the object was used for or what it represented, its design was without a doubt, a copy of a previous, much older metallic object.

Why did the ancient Egyptians bother to design an object with such a complex structure more than 5,000 years ago?

How could a culture who typically used chisels to shape rock have mastered a technique to work such a delicate material to this extraordinary level?

Why would ancient Egyptians invest the time and skills needed to create this object unless it served a very important, specific purpose?

Obviously the Schist Disk is an object that played an important role 5,000 years ago. Egyptologists offer a number of theories trying to explain what the disc was used for, but for the moment no-one has been able explain the object's complex structure. The Schist Disk's futuristic design continues to baffle all who have seen it.

There is no doubt this peculiar object continues to constitute one of the most perplexing Egyptian and ancient mysteries and we are left with several unanswered questions. .

The Schist Disk is currently in the Cairo Museum.

I strongly suspect it is a piece of a machine of the type invented by Viktor Schauberger http://jandeane81.com/threads/505-Viktor-Schauberger-Pioneer-of-Biomimicry

I wonder if any attempt has ever been made to replicate and spin it?

Maybe it was an attempt at a rotary fan to cool the Pharaoh?

It could just be a fancy rotating "cake stand " for three different choice morsels for the Pharaohs table, not everything is occult tech LOL

It actually looks like my wheel trim

I think its an ashtray, stub the ciggy in the centre, obvious, why over analyse!

At first glance, it reminds me of a flywheel...a disc or spoked wheel that spins around a central shaft as a means of storing energy. Flywheels are designed to minimize friction (and in some cases air resistance) to avoid losing energy as the wheel spins for long periods of time. Depending on the use, they can take a variety of shapes, ranging from a disk (hollow) to a saucer (solid). They are usually symmetric.

Flywheels have been used since the Bronze Age in various capacities. Wool spindles, potter's wheels, and water wheels all use the same concept of a heavy circular object to provide a constant motion from force. Pottery wheels that are driven by foot pedals use flywheels to keep the table rotating at a constant speed using the pulsing energy from the pedal.

Looks like some sort of impeller, especially looking at the design and angles - methinks it was either to impel fluid or gas inside some alien turbine ... JP:tea:

Sling blade fans are commonly used in window air conditioners. The ring around the perimeter of the fan blades "Sling" or spray a mist onto the condenser coil (the hot coil in the back) from the condensate that collects in the air conditioner's base. This process helps to remove heat from the coil.

My guess is that the Schist Disk was used in a similar manner as an early form of air conditioning.

How's this for several hundred years old technology? JP

This is just another example of the ingenuity of past ages, something which I discovered for myself in exploring the technology of previous ages. Just because they didn't have machine tools, or electronics, we should not underestimate the intelligence or ingenuity of people hundreds of years ago. It also gives more credence to the story of the automaton lion created by Leonardo da Vinci.
