Egypt: Blocks of stone built pyramids are molded like concrete?

A new hypothesis has just been published in the French journal Science et Vie to explain the construction of needles

pyramid in Egypt. This is a very serious conclusion of two Gilles Hug scientists from the National Air and Space Research Agency (France) and Michel Barsoum of Drexel University in Philadelphia (USA).

The Egyptians were not only unrivaled architects, but also talented chemists. Analyzes by X-ray techniques and plasma techniques by French and American scientists have demonstrated that the blocks of pyramids are not hewn in place, but are cast directly like concrete.

So far it has been believed that the Egyptians had carved stone blocks to build pyramids, then created steep slopes to bring these stones to the top.

But for 25 years, a French chemist Joseph Davidovits has tried to prove the opposite. He asserted that the pyramids are not hewn in place. The Egyptians used limestone in nearby stone sites mixed with water and other ingredients to create a mud. Then they put mud into the baskets and molded them like pouring concrete.

To come to this conclusion, he compared rock at the site with small pieces of rock in Kheops pyramid.
