<HTML>You may be right about Davidovits but that can hardly explain the strong support shown toward the GT by many others. For them some other explanation is required.
For me there are two issues here; geopolymerisation itself on the one hand and the construction of the pyramids themselves on the other.
Geoploymerisation is basically a technological process, a sound enough one at that. There seems to be little doubt that it can work although I'd like to see some more detail on the amount of work involved in actually doing so, in comparison with a more traditional method of obtaining a stone block of specific dimensions.
The construction of the pyramids is another matter entirely. One that comes with a substantial amount of baggage attached in the form of an entire literary genre devoted to creating an air of mystery about the whole thing. GT is but one method of pyramid construction among many that have been proposed down the years. Though admittedly it has the benefit of being grounded in demonstrable fact, even if the link to Ancient Egypt is easily exposed as being non-existant.
It would seem to me that so long as a large question mark is consistently and powerfully placed upon the notion that the AE's could have built the pyramids using conventional (for want of a better word) technology, then ideas like GT will continue to garner support from those seeking an alternative explanation. Of course, its in the nature of fringe beliefs to be faddy, and GT's current popularity could easily wane in the face of a new theory, should one happen to come along.
