Not a chance. The current Egyptians can't even build a suitable lid to go with the ancient perfect urns that are found there. The tombs that are cut flatter then modern tooling even allows for, revisionist archeologists claim modern Egyptians did that with stone chisels and other rudimentary tools. There is clear evidence of ancient civilizations having even more advanced technology then we have.
We also can't figure out how to replicate Greek Fire.
Lots of time and labor can get almost anything done. Certain kinds of sand have hardness grades higher than granite, they used this plus water to do the final polishing.
There were many different versions of Greek Fire...and yes, we know how to make napalm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_fire
Lots of time and labor can get almost anything done. Certain kinds of sand have hardness grades higher than granite, they used this plus water to do the final polishing.
Yet they can't replicate any of the precision using the same tools archeologists claim ancient Egyptians used along with the method of sanding with varying grits and water.
Napalm isn't Greek Fire.
The composition of Greek fire remains a matter of speculation and debate, with various proposals including combinations of pine resin, naphtha, quicklime, calcium phosphide, sulfur, or niter.
Why compare apples with oranges? Napalm is the modern EQUIVALENT of Greek Fire, almost certainly better.
