As we know, many references to the transport of the Tura limestone (which could take place only at those times of the year when the Nile was high enough) appear in Merer's logbook, including numerous cargo boats that had to be loaded by his team (Tallet 2017: Journal de Merer, 60). (If there wasn't enough wind, the boats had to be hauled along).

But, if the stone were to be ground up into geopolymer, why go to all this trouble? Why not do the grinding at Tura, and then transport it? Surely that would have been easier? But Merer never mentions grinding, and bags ...
