More than likely you were looking at gypsum mortar. They used it extensively in the pyramid to cover up cracks, holes, etc.

They did a lot of work on this thing as it was being built. The mortar in the ceiling of the King's burial chamber attests to that.

Do you have a copy of the pic available?

Some people are protecting their speculations... others are defending their book sales. The harsh words around here come when people insist on breaking the simple rules of logic in order to keep a pet speculation alive, yet refuse to admit their mistakes.

The problem comes when people ask us to rewrite the history books based on things that can be easily disproven... like "geopolymer" theory. It's never once stood up to close scrutiny by any independent geologist. Why should we keep the idea alive?
