STONES OF PYRAMIDS
The Egyptian pyramids are huge structures which consist of more than 2,300,000 stones each. According to the usual explanation large blocks of stone were cut in the mountains and then moved with the help of the most primitive equipment. About 100, 000 people had to take part in the construction. But the experiments show that the stones of the pyramids were not transported to the construction site.
Years of research in the fields of chemistry and archeology have given a definite answer. The stones of the pyramids were made synthetically. Egyptians produced a special solution which was mixed with minerals. It took them several hours to transform this mixture into a very hard rock. The rock was produced right at the construction site and there was no need to transport heavy stones.
Now scientists and engineers know how to produce hard materials synthetically. At present similar materials are used in modern industry. The Egyptians had a great knowledge of mathematics and chemistry and they might have known this technique. The necessary minerals could be found anywhere.
The use of this technique is the only explanation for some strange facts: first, the presence of huge monolithic stones inside the pyramids which are too large for the entrance door; and second, the presence of a human hair which is 21 cm long inside one of the stones.
