Industrial Alchemy in Ancient Egypt - Geoffrey Drumm, Land of Chem

Geoffrey Drumm is an Egyptologist and self-taught chemist who has
theorized that several ancient Egyptian pyramids were not
pharaonic burial chambers - they were industrial manufacturing
plants for ammonia based fertilizer and the raw materials used
for metallurgy. His presentation begins inside the red pyramid,
whose three chambers mirror the three stages of nitrogen fixation
used in the Haber-Bosch process we depend upon today. We talk
about the physical evidence his investigations have uncovered,
the difficulty of doing research in Egypt, and pervasive belief
of a primitive history for ancient civilizations Support the

studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Michael
Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic
properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio,
he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors
at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog -
