<HTML>Apparently according to Davidovitus/Morris limestone has the amazing property of being able to "dissolves in water" or at least it becomes soft. Which actually means that according to their theory the ancient Egyptians should have no problem quarrying the limestone throughout their history, since all that is needed is to cut a very shallow trench pour water in the bottom and after a time poke away with a stick to quickly produce a block. Of coarse, it is highly dubious that the unweathered limestone the ancient Egyptians used dissolves in water in the time scales they suggest... if this were the case the quarries would have dissolved away along time ago. The limestones the ancient Egyptians used can be quarried by the tools available to them during their history.
