Blocks from Giza pyramid, found to be manmade, page 1

Scanning electron microscope study of the blocks from which the Giza pyramid was constructed have shown that they are structurally different from natural limestone in the area.

The limestone blocks from which the Giza pyramid was constructed is amorphous unlike natural limestone. Material Scientist professor Michel Barsoum of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Drexel University concluded that the blocks could NOT have been cut from a quarry!

Professor Joseph Davidovits of the Geopolymer Institute in France had previously came to this conclusion and Michel Barsoum at first thought the idea hilarious, that was until he examined the material under a scanning electron microscope!

The conclusion…the microcrystalline structure of those blocks suggests that they are constructed from a manmade stone cast in position and not lifted into place as traditionally taught.

“At the end of their most recent paper reporting these findings, the researchers reflect that it is ironic, sublime and truly humbling that this 4,500-year-old limestone is so true to the original that it has misled generations”

In 2002 the Geopolymer Institute made blocks of similar size using a recipe suggested by professor Joseph Davidovits. The resulting blocks were similar in texture to those found on the Giza pyramid.

This wouldn't be surprising to me.
Just because Hawas says it's so doesn't mean it's true.

Much of Egyption history probably needs to be rewritten.

The casing stones are real, quarried limestone. So is the granite.

I think it's like Heyerdahl found on Easter Island, that the oldest stonework was the best.

Yea that says my gut feeling as well.
More ancient, better quality, more difficult.

My guess, it's like in Peru where the maya people where making their own stonework, to honor (in their eyes), gods / the older (mostly destroyed structures/walls) and so the Egyptians the same. And as you said making their own Pyramids (those little ones and very poorly build).

So the Egyptians who came there later made their own stories from what they found/see, which we later think that's the real story. When they talk about building pyramids they are talking about those little ones and the quaries we see today, used to build those little poorly build Pyramids?

2000 myth stories about a destroyed/flooded world. You don't have to believe in the bible for that..
The pyramids buried in sand, the sphinx with water damage and some pyramids, Peru with the same high tech huge granite stones, the whole place destroyed. The eastern island statues also burried many many meters, where only the heads are showing (which basicly says, those statues are there verrrrrrrrry long). And perhaps, the eastern island statues, where once standing on the top of a mountain, which is now almost complety submerged. God who knows we could find under water, burried close over there?

When I see some (old) very very nicely made Egyptian statues for me it's looking at very ancient people/rulers, made to look like gods? And the hieroglyphs, made later on, giving the statues names.

And most (old very nicely made statues), all look they had very long skulls (if you look closely you can see the skull under their clothing looks much longer? Just as the skulls found in Peru:





But yea no way that would be accepted as possible by sciene I'm afraid..

I think there would be several quarry’s rather then one big quarry. Even to make manmade blocks would require gathering massive quantity’s of crushed limestone to make these blocks.

if there was a quarry i could only assume that it has been filled in. the possible methods of construction will always be up for debate until someone finds an ancient text that purtains to the construction in detail.

At least for the granite quarries we could see the stones where just cut out in 1 piece.


Same as in Peru?

How in the hell could they do this for example:

Don't think we could that even today?

Basicly the same thing with ancient Egyptian granite stone work:


But yea some things we only have left overs and speculation left sadly..
