Cursive, foiled again.

He’s got a good mix of topics, you’ll notice I think that I set the time index to skip the ad. :^)

Hey, good suggestion!

Wow, the hieroglyphs list emphasizes why ‘words’ need to be understood in context! So many of the images are so similar that context yields meaning.

"Oh look, trenches in the ground. Lithography still doesn’t match, but this *must* be the pyramid quarry! /s"

Maybe they're just decorative trenches, dug for no reason at all. /s

Human society has progressed quickly do to concrete, gun powder and electrons.

Then again, maybe not.

Nice try, the point is, they aren't the pyramid quarries.

[SunkenCiv]

There are a few with uncertain meanings, because they were only used once, or more accurately, only one use has survived and been recorded.

Once upon a time and not so long ago, all of the lands in Northern Africa and Middle East were very different from what they are today.

No telling what lies buried deep in the sands of time and desert dunes altho LIDAR and satellite mapping has helped bring a lot of it to surface, so to speak..

Dig on.

[jmacusa]

No it doesn't. Concrete requires a system of forms which means wood. It requires lots of water. First to mix it and then to cool down the concrete as it drys.

The Pyramids had what archaeology describes as a limestone covering but it's clear to see the structure is composed of large stone blocks.

[GreyFriar]

If they didn’t use rebar, let us hope they also didn’t use fubar.

[jonno]

Surely there is a glyph suggesting the pouring of a concrete-like substance?

[GreyFriar]

Or, as a last chance, they could have tried fubar.

On the other hand, they may have called in the Egyptian Marine Corps and its K-bars.

• #B: Famine Stele and the construction of Pyramids with man-made stone [4 Apr 2006]

[ThanhPhero]

I have seen that theory before a few yeas ago and the fellow who wrote it made a plausible analysis. I think the origin quarry has been identified though, but I am not sure wheher it was a quarry where big blocks had been taken out or whetner it was chemically matched, too.

[woodbutcher1963]

Yes, the Egyptians we’re big into SUVs causing global warming and turned the Saharra into a desert.

[Buttons12]

That’s the one —
Serapeum. Inside are gigantic sarcophagi carved from single blocks of granite.
Or, liquid granite. Don’t think so.
And the Sabu Disc. Liquid schist?

[SunkenCiv]

Oh, I’m pretty sure they tried fubar, all cultures eventually do.

[SunkenCiv]

The moving of large stones is something a lot of ancient / prehistoric / unknown groups were good at doing. The Serapeum was the Sistine Chapel for such skills.

[SunkenCiv]

The match between the stones of the Great Pyramid and the geopolymer products is exact. The internal pyramid stones don’t match natural limestone, that’s the point. The Drexel paper is linked, along with the Davidovits stuff, and the issue is discussed in the vid.
