1st you argued the entire pyramid

Wrong. I always argued that only a part of the pyramid was casted. See
my very first post in the thread

"Davidovits reached the same conclusion (Pyramid are PARTIALLY made of
concrete) years ago."

then you argued the top half

I don't argue. I report Barsoum's hypothesis.

So much for the speculations.

Barsoum's assertion seems to hinge on one single piece of evidence:
that the mineral ratios found in some "stones" cannot be matched to
existing rock formations. BIG DEAL!
The easiest solution to this "problem" is that the "stone" is from a
stratum which has long ago been quarried out, or that the original
location of some of this stone is not known.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absense.
If there is any other evidence then lets have it!

The morphology of concrete is very distinctive
I have not manged to find one single piece of morphological evidence.
Concrete is moulded, it traps foreign bodies such as insects and twigs
and broken bits of cloth, leather, wood. When it forms it takes on the
shape of the shuttering and often leaves an impression of the grain of
the wooden shutering. It leaves air pockets which form bubbles in its
structure.
Despite this not one shred of morphological evidence has been
offered!!!

Personally I feel Barsoum is trying to "big-up" the Egyptians.
