Stones of the Pyramids Were Poured, Not Chiseled
Ancient Concrete Nearly Perfect
Drexel University researchers are revising the book on the Pyramids of Egypt, the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. The standard hypothesis for their construction speculates that ancient Egyptians carved the blocks out of nearby deposits of natural limestone, usingStones of the Pyramids Were Poured, Not Chiseled
The technologies employed continue to defy modern explanation. However, announcements from a team of materials Scientists from Drexel University, working with electron microscopes, verify that at least some of the blocks are cast of a unique form of concrete. Professor Michel Barsoum and colleagues have found scientific evidence that parts of the Great Pyramids of Giza were built using an early form of concrete. It has long been known that ancient Rome used concrete extensively for public works, from the Coliseum to the aqueducts. This discovery that a form of concrete was used by the Egyptians is a major new discovery, and will re-write the history books. This discovery is not expected to end the speculation that extraterrestials somehow were involved.
