The prevailing model, featured in many documentaries on PBS and elswhere is the "carve and hoist" model. The concrete model was proposed by Dr. Joseph Davidovits decades ago, but has been studiously ignored since. I learned of it from a book published by Davidovits and Morris a decade or so ago, which provoked a debate in Egyptology circles with the carve and hoist theory prevailing. I became intrigued and have been engaged with Morris and Prof. Barsoum in the matter for some time. The alchenical skill of the ancient Egyptians was considerable. there is a great deal of work to be done.
Concrete is the only way to produce the famous fit between the casing stones which once covered the pyramids, with only a few remaining after these were stripped off centuries ago for construction in Cairo. Mike Carrell > > >
