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 [...]
Geopolymer cement for storage of toxic and radioactive wastes
GEOpolymeric Cements for Innocuous Stabilisation of Toxic EleMents Geosynthesis of Rock-based Geopolymer cements was the objective of the European multidisciplinary BriteEuram industrial research project GEOCISTEM. The project titled cost effective GEOpolymeric Cements for Innocuous Stabilization of Toxic EleMents, in short GEOCISTEM, started on Jan. 1994 and has been completed on June 1997. In J. Davidovits’ [...]
Hazardous and radioactive waste encapsulation treatment
GEOPOLYTECH: Toxic and Radioactive Waste Management The patented GEOPOLYTECH technology is based on the use of geopolymer binders. The GEOPOLYTECH technology could provide a safe and proven method for the encapsulation and long-term containment of toxic, hazardous, and radioactive sludges from decantation ponds and pasty wastes (filter cakes) from water treatment facilities. The technology is [...]
Potential utilizations in Art and Decoration
Georges Grimal, a French sculptor and painter, stated: Lighting has tremendous importance in sculpture. I call “dramatized sculpture” the idea of developing the sculpture and suitable lighting together. In these, the artist has incorporated light sources into the work itself, allowing the spectator to feel the key-points and sense the finesse in the half-shadow light [...]
Pyramid: Cement and Concrete expert agrees!
My name is Prof. Mario Collepardi and I am a professor of “Materials Science and Technology” at the Politecnico of Milan, Italy. Yesterday I have seen your interview by Mr. Giacobbo at the “Stargate” program on “La 7″ Italian TV channel. I am very interested to your theory about the building technique used by Egyptians [...]
Difference between geopolymer and amorphous zeolite
What is the mechanistic implications of the higher concentration of precursors in the case of geopolymer formation? In other words how does a higher precursor concentration affect the normal mechanism of zeolite formation (nucleation and crystal growth) in order to prevent crystal growth and create a geopolymer and not just an amorphous zeolite? My first [...]
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 [...]
