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 [...]
Making Cements with Plant Extracts
Fabrication of stone objects, by geopolymeric synthesis, in the pre-incan Huanka civilization (Peru) Joseph DAVIDOVITS and Francisco ALIAGA Abstract of a paper presented at the 21st International Symposium for Archaeometry, Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York, USA, 1981 (page 21). It is now agreed, that the TIHUANACO civilisation is modeled on the pre-incan HUANKA civilisation revealed [...]

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 [...]
Making stone simpler guide?
I’m a sixth form student studying chemistry. I am interested in doing a project at college similar to the one you have done on recreating the stone used in the pyramids and building a small replica to show the method that might have been used. I’ve looked over the information on this site and others [...]
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 [...]
Replicating egyptian stonework
I recently read your book regarding the construction of the pyramids and was impressed with the overall coherence of the theory. Hopefully, in the future, popular opinion will swing in your favor so that you might be allowed to take pyramid samples of your own. This theory is strangely prone to ridicule, yet resistant to [...]
Examples of geopolymer frameworks
Geopolymerization forms aluminosilicate frameworks which are similar to those of rock-forming minerals. Yet there are major differences. At low temperature, generally below 300°C, geopolymers contain hydroxyl groups -OH as well as bounded water (so-called zeolitic water), and the structures shown in the figure below must be edited accordingly, with the exception of the sodalite framework. [...]
