    Each of the massive stone was actually molded in place using readily availible sand, pumice, and urine from the slaves.

    Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?

    It turns out that in an effort to "modernize" the Egyptian science industry, President Anwar Sadat in 1979 challenged chemists to "analyze" the Pyramids. Dr. Abbas Muhammad of the University of Alexandria finished his chromatography of samples of Pyramid stones and mortar in 1983 (one of the few times in history someone has been allowed to take core samples of Pyramid stones), and presented the results to the Egyptian Science Ministry. As it turns out the mortar contains high levels of crystallized Urea and Ammonia, which could only have come from human urine.
    Who knew urine had so many uses?
