Geopolymers are something we need universities to focus on for formulation, testing etc... because the current basis of our infrastructure being based Portland cements isn't sustainable. Not just from a supply perspective but Portland cements are a major contribution to our climate effecting gasses released in to the atmosphere, but not many talk about that. Geopolymer formulations that can provide the strength and durability of current cements as a must in my mind, but a place like this Geopolymer Institute isn't going to be a driver of that change. It reads more like ancient astronaut theory than science. This really needs driven by top engineering schools. Because cement formulations are known, their properties are known and approved across the world in building codes etc... For a change to be made all those specifications needs to be adjusted and we need sufficient testing to ensure the same or better characteristics of the materials.

This is the most plausible theory on how the pyramids were built and mainstream archeology doesn't want to admit it even with all the evidence... because it will pre-date the roman concrete and change history books.

  I would not agree that it's the most plausible theory. It is a hypothesis but what this website is doing is selectively picking there observations to align with their already known conclusion. Because when you start digging into all of this stuff, even from these people, you start to get into very fringe theories beyond just a geopolymer limestone. They talk about melting granite and giant lenses and traveling the world and repeating this over and over. Some truly outlandish stuff. The more outlandish your claims are the bigger the proof needs to be. The only evidence they provide is that geopolymers are a possibility but that has been a well-known thing for many decades. They are lacking a lot of evidence to show this is really how the pyramids and other ancient structures were made.

    they literally proved it through a demonstration and chemical analysis maybe do some reading and watch the video on youtube: https://youtu.be/znQk_yBHre4?si=kfAZvj4PKY776XpS https://youtu.be/znQk_yBHre4?si=kfAZvj4PKY776XpS
