<HTML>It seems to me that this Zeolite is critical for the geopolymer theory. It would be interesting to know whether studies of natural limestone in Egypt show up this Zeolite, and if so, in what amount relative to the amounts supposedly contained in pyramid blocks.
I'd like to see testing of various pyramid blocks, and testing of natural limestone from around Egypt. If, for example, no Zeolite is found in natural limestone and it is in the pyramid blocks this would advance the geopolymer theory's case substantially. All that really matters is that a measurable and significant difference can be found between the composition of natural limestone in Egypt and the blocks at Giza. I am disappointed at the reports of other scientists in possession of samples being unwilling to share those samples. Did Mommie not buy them jelly babies when they were kids?
However, it would be important to take a large number of samples from various blocks. Also, blocks considered to show the hallmarks of traditional methods of stone cutting should be tested. What is important is that those that show traditional cutting marks should be ostensibly of the same composition as egyptian limestone, whereas the blocks considered to be geopolymer should reveal a significant difference. If Zeolite abundance is significantly more abundant in giza blocks than in natural limestone then it seems to me the geopolymer theory will strengthen its position.
Of course, there are many embellishments to a theory that may be wrong. That is not important. What matters is the central tenet of the geopolymer theory - namely - the blocks are geopolymer.
One final point - I recall looking at the meaning of the word Pyramid - traditionally considered to have originated from the stem 'Pyr' meaning 'fire'. There is an alternative that I found that has the meaning of Pyramid as 'mixing something dry with something wet all at the same time'.</HTML>
