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 [...]

MIT supports Davidovits’ Pyramid theory
The famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, USA, is supporting Prof. Davidovits’ re-agglomerated stone (concrete) pyramid theory. At MIT, Professor Hobbs and two colleagues and students are experimenting the construction of a small scale pyramid using the method recommended by Davidovits. Go to the Boston Globe article of April 22, 2008 titled A new angle [...]
NATURE report on pyramid limestone concrete
The scientific magazine NATURE, vol. 444, 793 (14 december 2006) writes in his News about the recent analysis on pyramid stones: Materials Science: Concrete evidence J. Am. Ceram. Soc. 89, 3788–3796 (2006) Some of the massive blocks making up the great pyramids of Giza in Egypt (pictured) are not limestone, but a synthetic mix like [...]
Cutting-Edge analysis proves Davidovits’ Pyramid theory
On November 30, the Journal of the American Ceramic Society has released a very important scientific research carried out on the pyramid stones, which confirms the theory developed by Professor Joseph Davidovits on agglomerated (artificial) limestone concrete (ancient geopolymer). The references of this paper are : Barsoum, M. W., Ganguly, A. & Hug, G. (2006), [...]
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 [...]
