<HTML>Archae:
As we have evidence of a double helix wrapping around the core sample, perhaps we are not looking at a "tube" of copper...
but a fork.
The fork would have two quartz crystals, one attached to each prong. This (obviously heavily) reinforced quartz double drill bit would be pushed down as it was rotated. The downward force might have forced the two prongs TOGETHER, instead of APART... creating the conical shape we see in the Petrie artifact.
Now, when I say "upside down" , I didn't mean the block was upside down... I meant our orientation of the "rough" end was actually where the drilling BEGAN... not where it ended and was broke off. Why would they bother finishing off and smoothing this end if it was to be discarded, anyway?
Which brings me to my next point...
Why do we think this is a core sample anyway?
Isn't it just as likely that it was a table leg? Could it not have been turned on the ancient equivelant of a lathe, creating the helical lines? Even if it WERE a core sample, maybe it was being ground down for another use. We don't know. Trying to invent technologies to match ONE piece of evidence seems a little extraneous... are there more samples than just the Petrie core? If none exist, then maybe we are studying one little anomalous piece of data, which actually has NOTHING to do with the way it was drilled.
That would CERTAINLY nullify this ENTIRE discussion about drill rates, now wouldn't it?
