Professor Ken MacKenzie from Victoria University tested a small sample of a block from the famous Bent Pyramid, built more than 4500 years ago, at his Lower Hutt lab. He ground it to powder, put in a spectrometer containing a powerful magnet and spun it at a staggering 12,000 revolutions per second. From that, he was able to get a sub-atomic analysis of the pyramid block. It showed that rather being solid stone, it was a mixture of several materials, a sort of ancient concrete...
