Innovation and further researches
Prof. Joseph Davidovits presents the road map for the next couple of years on geopolymer science innovation and research, at the 2nd International Congress on Ceramics, Verona, Italy, July 4th, 2008. Watch the video on Vimeo. There is a great need for innovation and therefore further research must be carried out. We have listed below [...]
#C: 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 [...]
#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 stone stela is engraved on a rock at the island Sehel, near Elephantine, Egypt, north of Aswan. It was discovered [...]
