商品描述

This book presents the study on Ancient Geopolymers in South America and Easter Island regions, exploring the artificial nature of the volcanic rocks used in the construction of Easter Island's statues. Contrary to the belief that the statues were carved and transported, Davidovits suggests they were made on-site using geopolymer technology. He proposes that this knowledge came from Amerindians from the Andes, specifically the Tiahuanaco region near Lake Titicaca. The book is divided into two parts: the first examines geopolymeric artificial stone technologies in the Andes, and the second establishes a connection between these technologies and Easter Island, 3,700 km away. Davidovits' research includes geological expeditions, SEM analysis, petrography, and a comprehensive review of international literature. It is intriguing to observe that in both cases, Pumapunku /Tiwanaku in the Andes and Easter Island, volcanic rocks are involved which contain biological carbon. These discoveries undeniably support the theory of geopolymeric artificial manufacturing, challenging traditional archaeological views.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了南美洲和復活節島地區的古代地質聚合物，研究了用於建造復活節島雕像的火山岩的人工特性。與雕像是被雕刻並運輸的觀點相反，Davidovits 提出這些雕像是在現場使用地質聚合物技術製作的。他認為這項知識來自安第斯山脈的美洲印第安人，特別是位於的的喀喀湖附近的提亞瓦納科地區。本書分為兩部分：第一部分檢視安第斯山脈的地質聚合物人工石技術，第二部分則建立這些技術與距離 3,700 公里的復活節島之間的聯繫。Davidovits 的研究包括地質考察、掃描電子顯微鏡分析、岩石學以及對國際文獻的全面回顧。有趣的是，在安第斯山脈的 Pumapunku / Tiwanaku 和復活節島的案例中，均涉及含有生物碳的火山岩。這些發現無疑支持了地質聚合物人工製造的理論，挑戰了傳統考古學的觀點。

作者簡介

Prof. Joseph Davidovits is known in the scientific community as the inventor of geopolymer science. The general public recognises his works on archaeological science and his discoveries on building with artificial geopolymer stones in the pre-Columbian monuments of the Altiplano (Bolivia, Tiwanaku-Pumapunku). He is the chairman of the Institut Géopolymère /Geopolymer Institute, France, Saint-Quentin, www.geopolymer.org or www.davidovits.info. He conducts research in geochemistry, geopolymer science applied to archaeology, geopolymer cements and concretes, geopolymers for toxic waste management, and is updating his standard book Geopolymer Chemistry and Applications (2008 and 5th edition in 2020).
