Pyramids Made From Concrete




I'm a partial fan of this idea, because it is such a simple solution that anyone can understand. A new set of researchers are backing the idea the Giza pyramids are made from concrete:
A handful of determined materials scientists are carrying out experiments with crushed limestone and natural binding chemicals - stuff that would have been readily available to ancient Egyptians - designed to show that blocks on the upper reaches of the pyramids may have been cast in place from a slurry poured into wooden moulds.
Unanswered are questions like the quarries where the blocks were cut from... why they made such big blocks... how all the other pyramids on Earth were made... The story is also told at the Boston Globe.

I was listening to a researcher, I believe it was David Hatcher Childress, who hypothesized that the pyramid builders used acoustic resonance to not only 'levitate' the stones, but to change the frequency once placed on the pyramid so that they 'liquified' and flowed into place, therefore explaining why the stones are so well-fitted. I believe his interview was on The Duderinok's channel on YouTube. Check it OUT!

The pyramids were NOT built by hundreds, or thousands of people. to begain with how would you get rid of one day's body waste!let alone try to feed all of them.how they were able to do it is lost, WE ARE NOT the smartest or most intelligent people to have inhabited the Earth.but we would like to think so!We are so sure of it that no one questions "the experts"They all would like us to believe that anything and every thing is for some religious purpose or sexual.
When we are gone what will the next People think of our shopping centers? or gang graffiti on all of the walls. It is something to think about isn't it?

I dont believe that the Egyptians built the Great Pyramid, for one, the pyramid is built on top of the largest limestone deposite in the world, (which would have been impossible for them to know) and has caused the pyramid to settle less than a half an inch since its existance. Also it is built within less than one inch of square, even with our technology today we cant build a skyscaper within three inches of square. I have many more interesting facts if you would like to hear them. Take care
