The mystery of the Sabu disk explained

This video explores the Sabu Disk, a 5,000-year-old Egyptian artifact that has become a focal point for "ancient high technology" theories. While fringe theorists often claim the tri-lobed stone disk is a mechanical flywheel or a water-vortex generator, the content systematically debunks these ideas by highlighting its material fragility, asymmetrical hand-carved details, and lack of mechanical wear. Instead, it grounds the object in its true archaeological context the First Dynasty tomb of a high official named Sabu suggesting more plausible functions such as a ceremonial offering tray, an oil lamp, or a ritual tool for beer brewing. Ultimately, the narrative argues that the disk is not evidence of lost machinery, but a testament to the sophisticated artistic ingenuity and symbolic world of early Egyptian craftsmen.
