When structural materials are exposed to cyanide, they turn a bright blue color called (not unexpectedly) cyan. Any room in which cyanide gas is used is stained with the color ... which is notably absent from the photos of the room in this article, not to mention all of the other foundations and walls declared to be "proof" of the gas chambers.
Israel has a long history of twisting archaeology to suit their agenda (just as the US distorts climate science to sell us a carbon tax).
You have all been fed the legend of Masada, the last desperate stand of the Israelites against the Romans and how they all killed themselves rather than be taken prisoners. It's a nice story to evade the fact thast they lost their war, but what is not made public is that artifacts from the graves found at Masada indicate they are Roman, not Hebrew bodies.
Another example of politically driven "science" is the case of Oded Golan, accused of faking major artifacts including the Jehoash Tablet, supposedly from King Solomon's Temple, and the James Ossuary. While scientists (including many in Israel) denounced the artifacts as obvious fakes, the Israeli courts declared Oded innocent and the objects genuine, even though police had found a workshop full of partially completed fakes in Golan's home when he was arrested.
It seems that after only seventy years of searching they've finally found a gas-chamber.
This one's at Sobibor and they know it's a gas-chamber because its got walls and anyway, they found a Jewish wedding ring near it.
Personally, I don't much care if it is a gas-chamber or not. The Holocaust, as peddled, is a load of godless nonsense and I want nothing to do with it.
Gas chambers unearthed at demolished Nazi concentration camp

Archaeologists working at the site of the Nazi concentration camp at Sobibor, in eastern Poland, say they have uncovered previously hidden gas chambers in which an estimated quarter of a million Jews were killed.
German forces tried to erase all traces of the camp when they closed it down after an uprising there on 14 October 1943. The Nazis demolished the gas chambers and an asphalt road was later built over the top.
Archaeologists excavated beneath the road and found lines of bricks, laid four deep, where they believe the walls of the gas chambers used to stand.
They have been able to establish how big the chambers were, information they said would help build up a more precise picture of how many people were murdered at the camp.
"Finally, we have reached our goal – the discovery of the gas chambers. We were amazed at the size of the building and the well-preserved condition of the chamber walls," said Yoram Haimi, one of the archaeologists.
Haimi said two of his own uncles, who had been living in Paris during the war and were rounded up by the Germans, were among those killed at Sobibor.
The archaeologists said that among the personal items they had found buried near the gas chambers was a wedding ring which carried the inscription, in Hebrew:
"Behold, you are consecrated unto me"

Historians say that because the Germans razed the camp, and because so few of those detained there came out alive to give testimony, there is less information about how Sobibor operated and the scale of the killing than there is for some other concentration camps.
The Polish archaeologist Wojciech Mazurek, who has also been involved in uncovering the site, said the excavations revealed there were eight gas chambers.
"The extermination of people took place there; murder by smoke from an engine that killed everyone within 15 minutes in these gas chambers, in torment, shouting," he told Reuters Television.
"It is said that … the Nazis even bred geese in order to drown out these shouts so that prisoners could not have heard these shouts, these torments."
According to Israel's Yad Vashem International Institute for Holocaust Research, the 1943 uprising was organised by Jewish civilians at the camp and Jewish officers in the Soviet army who had been taken prisoner and sent to Sobibor.
About 300 people escaped, but most were caught and killed. Those who did not take part in the breakout were also killed. At the end of the second world war, about 50 escapees were left alive.
The research project at Sobibor is being carried out in coordination with the Yad Vashem institute, the German-Polish Foundation, and the Majdanek State Museum, near the Polish city of Lublin.
