How the Great Pyramid was Built (It s probably not how you thought) By Frank Sparks, 2017 1

Pyramid Construction Explained By Egyptologists It took 200,000 slaves to build the Great Pyramid They cut 2.5 M perfectly shaped stones in the quarry Total weight of stones was 6 mil tons They hauled them from the quarry to the pyramid They raised them up to each level of the pyramid 3

Pyramid Stones Are Man Made Limestone in quarries pulled apart Chemicals and clay mixed with limestone to form a geopolymer limestone cement Mixture carried to pyramids in 50 pound baskets Mixture put into forms Hardens on site in less than 24 hours Davidovits has made this claim for more than 40 years This makes lifting 6 million tons possible This solves all of the 11 problems 4

Man-Made Stones Cause Heartburn Z. Havass, Head of Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt states that the idea of manmade pyramid blocks is highly stupid. The pyramids are made from solid limestone that has been quarried, and to suggest otherwise is insulting, NY Times 2008 8

MIT Professor Hobb s Response Hobb s believes that mainstream archaeologists have been too contemptuous of work by other scientists suggesting the possibility of man-made pyramid stones Too many big egos and too many published works may be riding on the idea that every pyramids block was carved, NY Times 2008 9

Problems with this explanation 1. The blocks fit perfectly 2. No hard tools or marks 3. Only 10% of the expected stone debris is present at quarry sites 4. The local limestone is soft limestone, pyramid stones are hard 5. Some blocks are 30, 50, tons and more 6. No wheels or pulleys 7. No existing writings about the construction 8. No evidence exists of camps for the 100,000 workers needed 9. The blocks lining newly opened tunnels in the pyramids were always damp 10

Scientific Knowledge Can be Hard to Teach Two Types of Microscopes: Optical and Scanning Electron Egyptologists used optical and declared that the pyramid stones were normal limestone A scanning electron microscope shows the different chemical compounds not seen with the optical scope 24

HARD SCIENTIFIC PROOF 1982 - Egyptologist Lauer gave Davidovits stones from two pyramids Davidovits sent them to 2 labs that analyzed them with electron microscopy They discovered chemicals present that were not in local limestone The labs concluded the stones were artificial and man-made 25

Le Chatelier was the first to demonstrate the following chemicals in both the vases, statues, and the pyramid blocks None of these chemicals are found in limestone This is unequitable proof that the stones were man-made 26

Discovery of Limestone Cement Egyptians LeChatelier was the first to identify chemicals in the vases and the pyramid stones, and to state they were man-made Davidvits was the first to make pyramid stones from local limestone as well as a chemical binder that became a polymer, increasing the stones strength and longevity These stones are identical to the pyramid stones 33

Professor Hobbs, MIT s pyramid built by students with re-agglomerated limestone 35

Proof for Man-Made Stones Science solves every problem Experimentation Egyptian Religion Hieroglyphic writing 36

Conclusion I agree with Davidovits and MIT s Hobbs Great Pyramid stones are man-made Evidence is overwhelming, repeatable, etc There is no reason to use theory 37

My Theory My theory is that the Egyptologists know this is the truth They are resisting, to protect their own careers, egos and financial interests 38
