Abstract
The mystery of the construction of the great pyramids of Egypt could be elucidated by physico-chem. measurements on small pieces of the material. Several arguments against the present point of view of most Egyptologists who do not admit another method than hewn blocks are presented. In addn., several pieces of evidence that show that the masonry was entirely built by a molding procedure involving the use of ingredients that were all available in the region of Cairo are discussed. on SciFinder (R)
