Robert Temple ,secret tomb revealed

[brillbilly]

These pictures from Robert Temple are the first time any photos that i know of ,have been taken of the DACITE TOMB

They show what was found under the khefren causeway

The So called sarcophagus is made from 40 ton DACITE


dacite, volcanic rock that may be considered a quartz-bearing variety of andesite. Dacite is primarily associated with andesite and trachyte and forms lava flows, dikes, and sometimes massive intrusions in the centres of old volcanoes. Like andesite, dacite consists mostly of plagioclase feldspar with biotite, hornblende, augite, or enstatite and generally has a porphyritic structure (scattered larger crystals in a fine-grained groundmass); additionally, however, it contains quartz as rounded, corroded crystals or grains, or as a constituent of the groundmass. The feldspar content of dacite ranges from oligoclase to andesine and labradorite; sanidine occurs also in some dacites and when abundant gives rise to rocks transitional to the rhyolites. Many of the hornblende- and biotite-dacites are gray or pale-brown and yellow rocks with white crystals of feldspar and black crystals of biotite and hornblende; others, especially augite- and enstatite-dacites, are darker. Rocks of this group occur in Romania, Spain, Scotland, New Zealand, the Andes, Nevada and other parts of western North America.

There are no deposits of DACITE in Egypt or even in Africa

He does not give the name of this new rock dating technique. Suspect..... I will research the name of the geologist. Geologist Younis Luretis? Cant find him...you would think something so big would be easy to find.

he's does have some good credentials

PROFESSOR ROBERT TEMPLE is author of a dozen challenging and provocative books, commencing with the international best-seller, The Sirius Mystery. His books have been translated into a total of 44 foreign languages. He combines solid academic scholarship with an ability to communicate with the mass public. He is Visiting Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and previously held a similar position at an American university. For many years he was a science writer for the Sunday Times, the Guardian, and a science reporter for Time-Life, as well as a frequent reviewer for Nature and profile writer for The New Scientist. He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and has been a member of the Egypt Exploration Society since the 1970s, as well as a member of numerous other academic societies. He has produced, written and presented a documentary for Channel Four and National Geographic Channels on his archaeological discoveries in Greece and Italy, and he was at one time an arts reviewer on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Kaleidoscope’. In 1993, his translation of the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh was performed at the Royal National Theatre in London. With his wife, Olivia, he is co-author and translator of the first complete English version of Aesop’s Fables, which attracted a great deal of international press attention at the time of its release, as the earlier translations had suppressed some of the fables because of Victorian prudery.

Temple was a colleague of the late Dr. Joseph Needham of Cambridge, in association with whom he wrote The Genius of China, which has been approved as an official reference book (in Chinese) for the Chinese secondary school system, and which won five national awards in the USA. He has done archaeometric dating work and intensive exploration of closed sites in Egypt with the permission of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. His research into historical accounts of the Sphinx is the first comprehensive survey ever undertaken.

I think he uses what they call Archaeometry/Archaeological Science?

What material is it? How was the object constructed? Where is the raw material from? Is it authentic? Can it be dated?

In its broadest sense, "archaeometry" (or "archaeological science") represents the interface between archaeology and the natural and physical sciences. This interdisciplinary field requires close collaboration between archaeologists, art historians, museum curators, and scientists who apply modern instrumental techniques to extract structural and compositional information from ancient materials. Applications range from archaeological fieldwork to conservation of museum objects and historic monuments, including topics such as paleodiet, early tool use, provenance of ceramics and metals, prospection and geoarchaeology, dating, and art forgery.

Early archaeometric research was dominated by dating, technological, and provenance studies of inorganic materials (stone, ceramics, and metals). As the field has grown, new applications in biochemistry, soil science, paleopathology, medicine, and computer-aided reconstruction have attracted a host of new specialists and encouraged research on organic materials ranging from ancient DNA to plant phytoliths (plant skeletons). Similarly, advances in geophysical prospection and geochemistry have led to increased representation from those fields in archaeological excavation and laboratory analysis.

;)So from my point of view i understand it's not an exact science

I hear ya...Just seems silly to not give a reference name if this new technique had cred. I realize that anything organic can be tested or the discovery or smelted metals embedded in the stone may give clues... but as you say, it's not conclusive by any stretch. Maybe they are waiting for peer review and he's just getting ahead of it. I wanna know now...
