<HTML>The pollen count reminds me of the way Davidovits "spiked" his samples of the limestone in Khufu's pyramid.
In that case, he took a piece of stone that came from a passage wall, and then broke it into 4 pieces... then ground up the four pieces and sent it off to different labs.
He did NOT preserve the surface separately from the stone, so any chemicals (such as soot, or sweat, or urine) that were on the surface were "blended" into the overall sample. And what do you know? He found "synthetic zeolyte Z-23" in all four samples!
Oh... and what is "synthetic zeolyte Z-23", you ask? a combination of carbon and ammonia... soot and urine.
Gee... how conveniently wonderful for him.
I don't mean to start a thread on the defunct geopolymer theory...but I definitely see a trend here in the quality of the "testing" being done. Thanks, Pierre.
