A prominent natron theory proponent exaggerates natron prevalence to claim unlimited ancient access. Problem: the theory's proponents withhold chemicals as 'special ingredients' and the geopolymeric hypothesis for the Great Pyramid's casing stones has been disproven by detailed petrographic examinations. Valid theories deserve rigorous testing.
