Are Ancient Precision Vases Fake Again? #podcast #science #history #ancient

Are Ancient Precision Vases Fake Again? Ben Van Kerkwyk and Brothers of Serpent focus on the intense authenticity debate surrounding the creation, expense, and time investment required to produce high-precision vases. By consulting with experts, they analyze the legitimacy of historical artifacts found in the private market, specifically looking at how modern fabrication techniques compare to what we see in the archaeological record. We address the prevalence of fakes dating back to the 1960s and 1980s, which complicates the study of machining evidence in the ancient world. Many assumptions about the difficulty of these creations are challenged by real-world machinist perspectives, offering a clearer view of what is actually possible when examining these mysterious objects.
