If anyone was needing another reason to hate the scientific community, I've got a new one. My little brother is part of a research team investigating the use of geopolymers in the construction of the egyptian pyramids. The geopolymers are agglomerates, similar to modern day concrete. My little bro says that everything in Egypt was built using geopolymers. There was no quarrying and hauling of multi-ton blocks from miles away - they chipped away and collected the pulverized rock. I guess the "scientific community" hates this research because it invalidates a lot of their previous assumptions. The idea that the pyramids were built with huge stones is a big one. The blocks were molded in place and the remnants of forms have been found and documented. While modern day egyptology has tried their hardest to dismiss lost ancient technology -- the kind that would explain drill holes in solid granite, or perfectly flat, polished granite surfaces -- has also been throwing an absolute fit because if a geopolymer could be manufactured using a solution of water, a perfectly flat surface isn't difficult at all to achieve. Partially cured block could be easily drilled using the copper tools available at the time. My little bro says they can reproduce nearly type of stone found in ancient egyptian ruins with geopolymer: basalt, granite, limestone, sandstone, etc. Buuut you'll hear none of this because it means that a lot of folks that have been studying egypt their entire lives have been dead wrong. I guess it's true that science is advanced one funeral at a time.
