The samples cored our the pyramids will not be allowed to be tested by the "big rock no tool marks" crowd of archaeologists.

If the samples were allowed to be tested it would be conclusive if cement was used to build or if big rocks were used.  --- In papercreters@yahoogroups.com, Smitty <papadoo1@...> wrote: 
 I read somewhere that the egyptians used concrete and not huge stones to build the pyramids. Could the Romans have used the Egyptian's formula ? Makes sense. . .  Smitty
