#E: Searching for Carbunculus (“A la recherche du Carbunculus”)
A la recherche du Carbunculus (searching for Carbunculus) by Frédéric Davidovits, Université de Caen published in Revue Voces, Vol. 5, pp. 33-46 (1994), ( in French, en Français ) Abstract in English: Carbunculus, as described by Vitruvius (2, 4, 1; 2, 6, 6; 8, 1, 2), is a mineral used like a pouzzolana, which, when [...]
#A: X-Ray analysis of Pyramids’ casing stones and their limestone quarries
by Joseph Davidovits published in Science in Egyptology, Proceedings of the Science in Egyptology Symposia, Manchester, U.K., pp. 511-520, 1984. The hypothesis that the limestone that constitutes the major pyramids of the Old Kingdom of Egypt is man-made stone, is discussed. Samples from six different sites at the traditionally associated quarries of Turah and Mokattam [...]
