This is an internal ugol.Vnutri sarcophagus. Everything is polished, all in linii.Pravda impressive?
Why so output angle? And in general than his hollowed or cut out? And that's how it is possible in such as this fulfill?
What do you think, how many specialized enterprises for processing of granite take on a box?
And there brass instruments, theoretically insanely expensive imported. But not any steel is suitable for the job.

See:

Granite-working In Ancient Egypt
https://www.penn.museum/sites/expedi...stone-drilling
https://www.quora.com/How-did-Ancien...electric-tools

Have you ever seen how stonecutters saw or polish their material today? They use a fine grit mixed with oil to speed up the cutting (or grit plus a lot of water). I think a similar technique might be used with gemstones and hard metals. That's essentially the same technique it's proposed the Egyptians used.

Ok, so the Egyptian craftsmen were so adept that they could cut, processed and delivered to a place that's a granite sarcophagus.
OK.
But then why the inscriptions just scratched?
Failed? Forgotten how?
I do not believe.

I'm talking about the fact that the firm has done work with natural stone, custom-made to fit the individual stones, each of which is very precisely without gaps separately, mortar and concrete.
After completion of the stacking building grinding.
Or, to prepare each stone individually to get the result
Stones are all different

P.S
Idiotic translator ..

I understand what you mean, but today there is no real need to stack cut stones with precision as was done to build the pyramids. That doesn't mean there isn't precision involved in modern construction though. The Egyptians were quite smart, and had highly skilled people who could do things without modern tools and modern machinery.

Not all of the pyramids were successful. There were failures. Some collapsed and were abandoned. The Bent Pyramid was too steep and corrected higher up (giving it a bent shape). It's pretty obvious that it took a number of times to get the right formula in order to successfully build such massive structures, such as those at Giza. The end result is still very impressive.

So what are you trying to say about the pyramids?

About the translator you're using. It's not very good and many words come out as gibberish. Maybe it would be a good idea to try a different translator. In my opinion, most free online translators seem to do a very poor job.

In all seriousness, Turist, I can promise you that your English is way better than our Russian.

I think it's impossible to say without knowing the period in which the sarcophagus was created, and what artistic standards were used for sarcophagi at that time. I assume that's an outer sarcophagus and there were two or three nested ones in side. Maybe the smooth surface was important for some reason and the artistic quality of the hieroglyphics wasn't that important beyond presenting information about the person inside and whatever prayers/curses were required.
