Artificial Pyramid Stone: new analysis
A new scientific analysis demonstrates the artificial nature of Egyptian Pyramid stone. The article titled: “Were the casing stones of Senefru’s Bent Pyramid in Dahshour cast or carved? Multinuclear NMR evidence” was published in Materials Letters 65 (2011) 350–352, by an international team of scientists involving Kenneth J.D. MacKenzie (MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and [...]
Colosses of Memnon, masterpiece by Amenophis Son of Hapu
In Egypt, the return of agglomerated (geopolymer) stone 1300 years after the Great Pyramids, under Amenhotep III and Akhenaton (18th Dynasty). Divine incarnation in carved stone became the rule under the New Kingdom around 1400-1200 B.C. and the hegemony of the god Amun. The soft sandstone from the Silsilis quarries, used for in the great [...]
Book: Why the pharaohs built the Pyramids with fake stones
By Joseph Davidovits 20 years after the best seller book: The Pyramids: an enigma solved,after 20 years of new research, and new discoveries,you will understand why the theory is more alive than ever, why more and more scientists agree, simply because it is the truth.

The making of brown-black ceramics with LTGS in prehistory and antiquity
At the 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1984 Symposia on Archaeometry, Joseph Davidovits showed the possibility of fabricating ceramics by Low Temperature Geopolymeric Setting between 50°C and 500°C. The results obtained with LTGS have been surprising and very interesting from the archaeological point of view, e.g. the fabrication of ceramic whose surface is covered by an [...]
Are Pyramids Made Out of Concrete? (1)
The pyramids stones are man-made (synthetic, artificial) Cast in molds The Pyramids at Giza have more than 5 million blocks of limestone, until now believed to be CARVED stones, new evidences shows they were CAST with agglomerated limestone concrete. The website reveals how Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids using man-made stones, which look exactly like [...]
Pyramids (2) The evidences
The scientific proofs The “Lauer” sample under the optical microscope. This photo shows a sample of the casing from the ascending passage of Kheops great pyramid, given by the French egyptologist Jean-Philippe Lauer in 1982 to J. Davidovits. Now, the cross section is characterised by the presence of organic fibers and air bubbles that do [...]
Pyramids (3) The formula, the invention of stone
Why do geologists see nothing? This is due to the geological glue, which, though artificial, is seen by the geologists either as an impurity, and therefore useless to study, or as a natural binder. At best, the analysis tools and the working methods of geologists consider the glue as a perfectly natural “micritic binder”. A [...]

The Famine Stele: hieroglyphs on pyramids construction
Summary of the Conference by Joseph Davidovits Vth International Congress of Egyptology, Cairo, Egypt, Oct. 29-Nov.3, 1988. Egyptologists have long claimed that no records exist which describe how the Pyramids were built. A stone stele is engraved on a rock at the island Sehel, near Elephantine, Egypt, north of Aswan. It was discovered in 1889 [...]
