For centuries, experts have been baffled by the way Egyptians shifted solid blocks of stone weighing 80 tons to build the pyramids.

But all the theories about using ramps, sweating Hebrew slaves - and even flying saucers - have been pushed aside by an Austrian Egyptologist.

Adolf Goil says the Egyptians never quarried the stones and dragged them across the desert. Instead they made them on the spot from a "stone dough".

They mixed sand and crushed limestone with mineralised water to produce a thick mortar which was kneaded into square blocks and hardened in the baking sun.

Goll has recreated the mixture after years of experiments with ingredients mentioned in hieroglyphics and has named it the 'kneading stone'.
