I don't really have answers to these questions. again, more possible
speculation is possible: How long time between the construction of the
pyramid and the blocking of the passage way? Let's say many years
happened in between, may be it was simply easier to make the blocking
using a different technic than making a new batch of reconstituted
stone. Who knows?

They were contemporary.

3. In several places the limestone pavement around the Great Pyramid has
cracks in it which have been carefully filled with lime plaster in order to
give a level surface. Why not use this wonderful concrete?

Again, wasn't it later restoration?

No.

You lack imagination. Plus the second answer doesn't stand: until proven
false, Barsoum proved they mastered the reconstituted stones technology.

Barsoum proved no such thing. At the very most he demonstrated that it was
possible to reconstitute stone (though I have grave doubts even about that).

Ken, While your questions are interesting they can only lead to
speculative answers because we don't have enough information (yet?).

We have plenty of information and none of it supports the "concrete" theory.

So instead of wandering with side questions why don't you discuss the
true facts: the microstuctures oberved by Barsoum et al are not natural.

That is the claim. Frankly, I don't believe it.
