Post # 41 reference (Concrete Pyramids) is mostly about a book touting concrete pyramids by Morris and Davidovits.
This is one silly assertion made at the web site referenced at # 41, “If laborers were cutting the stones, where is the scrap from the trimming, bad blocks, and the blocks that fractured or were damaged in transit? There are not any[11]. With concrete, the rocks were beaten to a powder, hauled to the site, burned, mixed, and cast. Everything is consumed and can be reused by powdering and heating it again.”

Not “if” since the quarries are still in existence today where laborers removed the cut stone.
“Burned”? With what as fuel? “Beaten to a powder”? By what means? What kind of “rocks”? Only one kind is used to make concrete by heating, not “burning”.
Utter rubbish! Why not claim space aliens with mysterious tractor beams?
Nut job logic says that if they don’t understand something then it’s a mystery that no one understands. That leaves them free to come up with some whacko theory that ignores all the obvious evidence and allows them to say no one can disprove what they have failed to demonstrate in the first instance. Just make and keep making the same silly assertions as though they were fact and maybe gather the whole mess into a book.
