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 [...]

The geopolymer chemistry was known during antiquity
Joseph Davidovits has found revolutionary ways of producing cements with plants saps, which could explain some of the mysteries associated with Pre-Columbian architectures. Preliminary results had been presented at two International Archaeometry Symposia. See in the library the paper #C Making Cements with Plant Extracts disclosing information dating back to 1981 and 1982. In 1979, [...]

#B: Famine Stele and the construction of Pyramids with man-made stone
Vth Egyptology Congress, Cairo, 1988 The Famine Stele and the construction of Pyramids with man-made stone by Joseph Davidovits Egyptologists have long claimed that no records exist which describe how the Pyramids were built.

#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 [...]
