Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess, lets start slinging totally unrelated nonsense and hope its enough obfuscation.
Not only did it not say mortar in the article, they didn't use mortar at all in the great pyramid.

This is literally the paragraph you quoted from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_p...techniques
Quote:As the stones forming the core of the pyramids were roughly cut, especially in the Great Pyramid, the material used to fill the gaps was another problem. Huge quantities of gypsum and rubble were needed. The filling has almost no binding properties, but it was necessary to stabilize the construction. To make the gypsum mortar, it had to be dehydrated by heating which requires large quantities of wood.
Don't go pulling a khemikal on me now
