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 [...]
Pyramids: opponents missing the big picture?
A letter from David Martin about Davidovits’ pyramid theory that illustrates how narrow minded people behaved when facing such problem. In your book,”The Pyramids”, you discuss possible casting methods for the casing stones of the Great Pyramid and Red Pyramid. You mention that there were inscriptions on the bottoms of these blocks, indicating they were [...]
