I'm with you. It is unfortunate that some Egyptologists are so dogmatic. I also have started to be swayed by the argument that the pyramids are "cement" and not stone.

Good choice, IMHO. I read Davidovits' book a while back, bought it from William Corliss' catalog, and found it quite compelling. One of the arguments generally raised against it is that the stone from the pyramid(s) matches such-and-such a quarry. Yet there's nothing concrete (sorry) on which to base that conclusion. :')

Egyptian limestone is simply lighter than clay. If you soaked clay to the point where it became viscous, you could probably float limestone blocks in it. So, build a box around a block. Leave a gap. Pour in clay.

There is at least one ancient Egyptian picture showing the process.
