New facts about the pyramids: a new miracle of the Qur'an
=20
Last scientific discovery stated the following: French and U.S. researchers=
assert that the huge stones used by the Pharaohs to build the pyramids are=
just clay that has been heated at high temperatures...

Will the pyramids that we know as one of the Seven Wonders survive in the w=
orld? Did scientists find an answer to the puzzle of how the pyramids were =
built in ancient Egypt? Are some people still believe that the Jinn are the=
builders of these pyramids? Is it possible to believe that creatures from =
outer space built the pyramids of Egypt? ...
These speculations filled the world and lasted for several centuries, but t=
he new discovery made by scientists from France and America will change the=
scientists` look forever. It will also give a simple scientific explanatio=
n to the mystery of building the pyramids, but more odd is that this myster=
y has been in the Qur'an fourteen centuries ago!!!
It was believed that the pharaohs have carved the stones but the question h=
ere is: How come all the stones are so identical that you cannot find a dis=
tance between one stone and another? And where are the equipments and chise=
ls that were used in carving those stones? Until now, they have not been fo=
und? This discovery confirms that the scientists were wrong when they thoug=
ht that the pyramids were built of stones. The nearest answer to logic and =
truth is to say that the civilization of the pharaohs was built on the clay=
!!

This is a picture from top of Cheops the Great ` pyramid, as we can notice =
this pyramid was the highest building in the world with a height up to 146 =
meters. Millions of stones were used in the construction: each stone weighs=
several tons. It is an enormous work that gives evidence to the powers the=
Pharaohs reached before 4500 years ago.
New scientific facts
One of the scientific facts that the great pyramid with the height of 146 m=
eters was the highest building in the world for the last 4500 years and con=
tinued until the nineteenth century, The new theory proposed by French Prof=
essor Joseph Davidovits, the director of Geopolymer Institute asserts that =
the pyramids were built mainly of mud and that clay was used as a mean to m=
ove the stones on special railway.
The research suggests that the mud and other materials were taken from the =
Nile`s soil and these materials were put together in tight stone molds .The=
n they were heated at a high temperature, leading to the interaction of th=
ese materials and forming them into stones-like volcanoes stones, which we=
re formed millions of years ago. Scientist Davidovits affirms that the ston=
es which were used to build the pyramids were mainly from limestone, clay a=
nd water. The tests made by using Nanotechnology (the branch of engineering=
that deals with things smaller than 100 nanometers) proved the existence o=
f large quantities of water in these rocks; such quantities do not exist in=
natural stones.
Furthermore,there is also consistency in the internal structure of stones w=
hich confirms that it is unreasonable that these stones were brought, then=
were carved in this way. The most realistic possibility is that they pour=
ed the clay in molds to make identical stones just as today as we pour plas=
tic tools in templates so all the pieces are quite equal and similar.
Electronic microscope was used to analyze samples of the pyramids stones. T=
he result was closer to the opinion of Prof. Davidovits and the quartz crys=
tals appeared clearly as a result of heating the mud. He stated that we don=
`t have in the nature like these stones which his confirms they were made b=
y the Pharaohs. The analysis by Mini E scale indicated the presence of sili=
con dioxide too. This is another proof that the stones are not natural.

The picture shows Professor Michel Barsoum standing next to the Great Pyram=
id. He stress that these stones were poured into molds of clay! This what h=
e proved in his researches after results of long experiments that these sto=
nes are not natural. Pro. Michel Barsoum confirmed after Electronic microsc=
ope analysis that they are a result of a quick interaction between clay, li=
mestone and water at high temperatures.
Davidovits famous book entitled "Ils ont bati les pyramides" ,published in =
France in 2002, has resolved all problems and puzzles which were told about=
the way that the pyramids were built. Moreover, he put a simple geometric =
construction mechanism of mud. It was very convincing to many researchers i=
n this field of science. Some researches emphasized that furnaces or stoves=
were used in ancient times to make ceramics and statues. The common use of=
fire was to build status of clay, mixed with metals and natural materials.=
After that, they lit a fire until the statue solidifies and takes the shap=
e of real rocks. Many civilizations used the heated clay for making stones,=
statues and tools. All researches confirmed the this method used by the ph=
araohs in high buildings such as pyramids.
They made wooden rails that went round the pyramid in a spiral way like the=
grapes tabernacle which grows around itself and ascends to the top.
Other researches reach the same result=20
Other analysis using X-ray proved existence of air bubbles in the samples t=
aken from the pyramids which were formed during the pouring stones from mud=
and evaporation of water from mud. Furthermore, these bubbles do not exist=
in natural stones and this adds new evidence that the stones are made of c=
lay and limestone not older than 4700 years.
Mario Collepardi, an Italian Prof. studied the architecture of the pyramids=
, emphasized that the Pharaohs brought the limestone dust available a lot i=
n their area, mixed it with normal soil. Then they added water from the riv=
er Nile and lit fire to a temperature up to 900 degrees Celsius. This heat =
gave the stone strength and a shape similar to natural rocks.
The new idea does not cost a lot of effort because workers will not carry a=
nd raise any stones, all they have to do is to make the templates in which =
they pour mud and transfer mud from the ground and raise them in small cont=
ainers. Each worker carries a container with mud to fill the templates. The=
n comes the process of lighting fire until the stone is shaped and stayed i=
n place making sure by this way that there are no spaces between the stone =
and the other. Using this method helped in keeping the pyramids safe for th=
ousands of years.=20

The picture shows two adjacent stones of the pyramid's stones. We can notic=
e the small oval cavity between them which is referred to by the arrow. It =
is a proof that the stones had been poured from mud in the rock template be=
cause this cavity was formed during casting stones, not as a result of eros=
ion. It is originally out of these stones.
The Scientific fact corresponds with the Quran
After all these facts, we can reach to this result, which is: the technique=
used in the Age of the Pharaohs to build massive buildings such as pyramid=
s, was mainly using the normal mud available near the River Nile. Then mixi=
ng it with water, placing it in templates and finally lighting the fire unt=
il it solidifies and stones are shaped the way we see today.
This technique remained hidden as a secret until 1981, when that scientist =
put his theory. Then in 2006, other scientists proved the validity of the t=
heory, beyond any doubt, by laboratory analysis, this technique was entirel=
y unknown at the time of Quran. But what does the Quran say? Let`s my broth=
ers and sisters consider and praise Allah, Almighty.
After Pharaoh has become an oppressor and declared himself as a God of Egyp=
t!! What did he say to his people, consider this:"Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "=
O chiefs! I know not that you have an il=E2h (a god) other than me."( AlQas=
sas : 38). To that extreme extent, his challenge and arrogance reached. Ho=
wever, the Pharaoh did not stop, he wanted to challenge God`s power and bui=
ld a high monument in order to climb it to see who is Allah Almighty. There=
fore, the Pharaoh wanted to prove to his people, the ones who were like him=
, that Moses (peace be upon him) is not honest, and that the Pharaoh is the=
only God of the universe!!
The pharaoh asked Haman, his deputy and partner, to build a huge monument t=
o prove to the people that God does not exist. Here Pharaoh resorted to the=
technique used at that time in construction which was lighting fire on sto=
nes in order to pour the needed stones for the monument. The Pharaoh said a=
fter that: "So kindle for me (a fire), O H=E2m=E2n, to bake (bricks out of)=
clay, and set up for me a Sarh (a lofty tower, or palace) in order that I =
may look at (or look for) the Il=E2h (God) of M=FBs=E2 (Moses); and verily,=
I think that he [M=FBs=E2 (Moses)] is one of the liars."( AlQassas : 38).
But what was the result? Look and think of the fate of the Pharaoh, Haman a=
nd their soldiers, the Almighty says: (And he and his hosts were arrogant i=
n the land, without right, and they thought that they would never return to=
us * So We seized him and his hosts, and we threw them all into the sea (a=
nd drowned them). So behold (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) what was the e=
nd of the Z=E2lim=FBn [wrong-doers, polytheists and those who disbelieved i=
n the Oneness of their Lord (All=E2h), or rejected the advice of His Messen=
ger M=FBs=E2 (Moses) (peace be upon him]. .( AlQassas : 39-40).
One might ask, is the monument the same as the Pyramid? We say it is not of=
ten. The monument is high as a tower or high lighthouse used in order to as=
cend to high altitude. Allah punished the Pharaoh and destroyed him. Allah =
Almighty also destroyed his monument to be a verse for the ones who comes a=
fter him. This monument that he build to challenge God was destroyed and we=
do not find it anywhere. The story of the Pharaoh and his black fate was t=
old by Allah in this verse: "And we destroyed completely all the great work=
s and buildings which Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his people erected." ( Al Aaraf=
: 137 ). Already some scattered stones were found buried by sand during tho=
usands of years.

The picture shows one of the three pyramids at Giza with the top still cove=
red by a layer of mud. This layer is from the same stone used in building; =
which indicates that clay was fully used in building the pyramids. This " P=
haraonic technology" was perhap a secret of the strength of the pharaonic =
civilization and kept on as a secret not mentioned even in manuscripts and =
inscriptions. Therefore, the Qur'an tells us about one of the hidden secret=
s that cannot be known only to Allah, and this is strong evidence that the =
Koran is the book of Allah!
The miracle
1. This researcher and other dozens of researchers confirm that=
clay is the building material of the pyramids, and these buildings are the=
highest buildings, known from ancient history to the modern era. All these=
facts confirm that the Quran verse is true and consistent with science and=
one of the verses of the scientific miracles.
2. The technology of making stones from mud using heat, was not=
known at the time of revelation of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad (pe=
ace be upon him) did not have any knowledge about the way of building the p=
yramids. Accordingly, this verse is to be considered a great scientific dis=
covery as it linked between the mud and heat as a means of building in the =
Age of the Pharaohs. On the account of this fact, it led us to know that co=
nstruction at that time was based on this method. This scientific fact has =
not been recognized only a few years ago by using very advanced technologie=
s!
3. This miracle is an evidence of full consistency between the =
Qur'an and science and truthfulness of Allah Almighty when He said about hi=
s book: "Do they not then consider the Qur'an carefully? Had it been from o=
ther than All=E2h, they would surely have found therein many a contradictio=
n."(Al Nisaa:82) The verse is a response to the atheists who claim that the=
Quran was written by Mohammed (peace be upon him), as how can he predict s=
uch a matter as the pyramids are far from his time and he never see it befo=
re!
4. he certain facts confirm that the Greatest Pyramid in Giza o=
r the so-called pyramid of Cheops was the highest building on earth for 450=
0 years. It was the Pharaohs famous buildings or monuments. Allah destroyed=
the monuments and buildings built by the Pharaoh, who claimed divinity, wh=
ereas pyramids which were built by other Pharaohs were saved by Allah and=
kept as a witness of truthfulness of the Book of Allah, the Almighty! =20
5. In the verse "And we destroyed completely all the great work=
s and buildings which Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his people erected." Look at th=
e word (erected) which indicates the technique used in ancient Egypt to put=
the rocks on top of each other! In Arabic language we find the word in "Al=
Qamoos Al Muhid" dictionary: (erected) build an arbor, (erected the grape =
arbor: raise the plant on wood, (erected) the house: build the house, put t=
he roof. The result: the word (erected) refers to putting the wood to raise=
stones up. That what scientists and researchers say today: the Pharaohs us=
ed the wooden rails to raise mud by climbing in a spiral way around the=
building just like a pergola, which wrap around the pillar upon which it i=
s based on in a spiral way. =20
http://kaheel7.com/userimages/pyramids_05.JPG
The drawing shows the way of building the pyramids through the placing wood=
en rails in a spiral way in order to transfer mud to make stones, wrapping =
around the pyramid up just like the bowers grape that wrap around and climb=
. Allah Almighty used the word (erected) to indicate the geometrical mechan=
ism of constructing buildings and monuments. Mostly destroyed by Allah, lea=
ving only the pyramids to be evidence of the truthfulness of the Qur'an
6. This miracle is an answer to those who claim that our greate=
st prophet (peace be upon him) took the Sciences and stories from the Bible=
or from Monk 'Buhira" or the priest "Waraqa bin Nawfal", because the techn=
ical construction by mud was not mentioned in the holly Book "AlTorah".On t=
he contrary, any reader of "Torah" comes to a conclusion that stones were b=
rought in from places far from the Pyramids and were natural stones not rel=
ated to mud. This is what prevented some western scientists from recognitio=
n of this scientific discovery because it contradicts the holly book.
7. The research presented by Professor Davidovits invalidated a=
ll biblical (The holly book of Torah) claims that thousands of workers have=
worked for many years in these pyramids. It also invalidates the idea that=
stones were brought from distant places to build the pyramids. Therefore, =
we are looking at physical evidence that the Torah story contradicts scienc=
e.
It means that there is a big difference between the Holly book of Torah and=
scientific facts, and this shows that the current copy of Torah is written=
by humans, not from Allah Almighty. This fact was confirmed by the Quran: =
" Do they not then consider the Qur'=E2n carefully? Had it been from other =
than All=E2h, they would surely have found therein many a contradiction. (A=
l Nisaa: 82). It also indicates that the Quran is from Allah Almighty becau=
se it always matches science!
Some questions to those who are skeptics of message of Islam
1. How did Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him know about the presence of hi=
gh buildings Pharaohs build in their time? And if he has derived his inform=
ation from the Torah, he would have come to the same information mentioned =
in the Torah. Where did he come up with the idea of architecture at all?
2. How was the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) aware that technique of=
clay was used in construction in the Ages of Pharaohs? And what made him t=
alk such historical and metaphysical issues as it would not provide anythin=
g to him in his massage. If the Prophet wrote the Quran (as some people cla=
im) it would have been better that he tells them about Arab Legends which a=
re the closet to people to accept his massage!
3. How did Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) know that the Pharaoh Claim=
divinity? And that he build monuments? And how did he learn that these mon=
uments have been destroyed? And only the remains are left as an evidence of=
their existence in the past. Allah Almighty says: (And those are their dwe=
llings, which have not been inhabited after them except a little. And veril=
y! We have been the inheritors.)(Al Qassas :58)
4. Is it possible If Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) wrote the Quran t=
o say such a thing:
"Do they not travel in the land, and see what was the end of those before t=
hem? They were superior to them in strength, and they tilled the earth and =
populated it in greater numbers than these (pagans) have done: and there ca=
me to them their Messengers with clear proofs. Surely, All=E2h wronged them=
not, but they used to wrong themselves." (Al Room: 9) Allah Almighty makes=
contemplating through these pyramids and other ancient monuments remain a =
mean of realizing Allah`s power and fate of arrogant people who challenge A=
llah.
These facts are physical proofs reflected in Allah`s holly book that shows =
the truthfulness of this book, one might say: The theory of building the py=
ramids by mud had not become a scientific fact, so how do you explain the Q=
uran with such theory, and I say: this theory did not come from a nowhere b=
ut it was a result of scientific and laboratory analysis and does not contr=
adict reality. It matches the Quran. However the science develops, it will =
not discover facts, and only the ones which match the Quran, in order these=
facts are means of seeing miracles of Allah in his book. He said: "We will=
show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it bec=
omes manifest to them that this (the Qur'=E2n) is the truth. Is it not suff=
icient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things? (Fussel=
at: 53.).
