Hi guys. In today’s video I will discuss my hypothesis on the purpose of the multiple
pyramids in Egypt. In my last video, I laid out reasons why I think the multiple shafts
on the Giza plateau were part of an ancient mining system, excavated by prehistory machinery.
If these shafts were mine shafts, then what possible role could the pyramids have played
in this complex operation? I know some of us have heard about the theory that the great
pyramid of Giza was an ancient power plant. This power plant theory was proposed in 1994
by the great scholar Christopher Dunn, who explained how the interior chambers and passageways
inside the great pyramid would act as a power plant. He also compared the great pyramid
with Nicola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe tower. Some researchers claimed that the great pyramid
might be an ancient version of the Tesla tower which generated and transmitted electricity
by connecting to underground aquifers. All of this sounds exciting but is it fact
or fantasy?
First, I want to point out that most studies are focused on the Great Pyramid, but other
pyramids don’t get as much attention, not even Khafre, which is sitting right next to
the great pyramid. I believe we shouldn’t single out the great pyramid without comparing
it to other similar ones. We need to consider these large pyramids as a group. If the great
pyramid was a power plant, then what was the purpose of the nearby Khafre pyramid? Another
power plant? No. Because the Khafre pyramid, like the other big pyramids in Egypt, is almost
completely solid. There is no chamber inside its stone-block built body. It only has underground
passageways and chambers which are carved into the bedrock. And what about the other
big pyramids such as the ones in Dahshur and Saqqara? Similar to the Khafre pyramid, they
are all predominantly solid with a very small fraction of their interiors containing pathways
and chambers. So, the great pyramid is an outlier.
If the great pyramid with its interior chambers and passageways was really a power plant,
then why are all the other similar looking pyramids pretty much solid and packed with
stone blocks? Isn’t that strange? Btw I don’t think the other pyramids acted as
transmitters. The Khafre pyramid is too close to the great pyramid. It doesn't make sense
to build two gigantic pyramids side by side with one being the power plant and the other
being the transmitter. There are also pyramids in Dahshur and Saqqara and if they were energy
transmitters, why were they placed so close to each other? Is that because one was not
sufficient whereby a group of pyramids was required? Let’s not forget that it’s incredibly
difficult to build just one of these structures, because millions of tons of stone blocks would
need to be maneuvered. If a civilization was sophisticated enough to build all these pyramids,
shouldn’t they have better more efficient ways to transmit energy? If one pyramid was
not good enough to do the energy transmitting job, why not think of another way? Why incur
so much labor, material, resources and time to build these immense objects if they were
inefficient transmitters? Please keep these questions in mind because I’ll come back
to them later.
I found a very interesting article on the Ancient Origins website written by Jonathon
Perrin, which link is below. Mr. Perrin explained in detail what the power plant theory was
built upon and why this theory doesn’t work. Chris Dunn proposed that inside the great
pyramid, the shafts of the Queen’s Chamber was a reservoir of liquid hydrated zinc chloride
and diluted hydrochloric acid meant to produce hydrogen gas. This would have filled the Grand
Gallery and King’s Chamber. Then atmospheric microwave energy would have entered the King’s
Chamber via the north shaft, where it would have been amplified via the hydrogen gas,
itself energized via the transduced energy of the vibrational pulses, and then emitted
via the south shaft as a focused microwave beam. Dunn suspected the Egyptians would have
then used this microwave energy to power machines and appliances.
However, there are problems with this theory. First of all, the passageways and chambers
in the great pyramid can not hold water. The interior of the chambers and tunnels were
not waterproof. Some may argue that the waterproofing was eroded due to time and the elements. But
we are talking about the interior of the great pyramid, which is protected from the elements.
There could be wear and tear from human activities, but the higher portion of the chambers shouldn’t
have been affected. The shafts and chambers can’t sustain water,
which Mr. Perrin stated “therefore ruling out the power plant theory and any other that
requires liquid to be stored there”. Mr. Perrin, a geologist, also pointed out
another flaw in the hydrogen power plant theory: “a dilute hydrochloric acid solution in
any of the pyramid shafts would quickly dissolve away the surrounding limestone.”
I think these are valid arguments to prove that the great pyramid can not function as
a hydrogen power plant. Was it another type of power plant then? How about the similarities
between the great pyramid and the Tesla tower? Was the great pyramid an ancient version of
a wireless energy plant like the Telsa tower?
There are claims that the great pyramid may have acted as a giant battery, using power
generated from aquifers beneath the structure. The lining of the shafts is conductive and
the limestone that was once covering the outside acted as an insulator. The gold cap on top
transmitted energy like a Tesla coil. The following similarities are stated by many:
both the great pyramid and the Tesla tower were primarily non-metallic, built on a porous
limestone foundation riddled with saltwater aquifers, with tunnels dug deep underground
below the water table. They both were tall structures with gold capstones from which
excess electricity could discharge. Based on these claims, who wouldn’t think that
the two were very similar?
Well…hold on. There are some misunderstandings here. Believe it or not, all the so-called
similarities are misunderstandings. Let me explain. First, the Tesla tower didn’t have
a gold dome. It was steel. The gold tip of the great pyramid was never confirmed so it’s
speculation.
Two, the great pyramid sits directly on top of the Giza plateau which is exposed limestone
bedrock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock. On the other hand, the Tesla tower was located
in Long Island, New York, where the bedrock is metamorphic therefore not limestone. Plus,
the bedrock in Long Island is relatively impermeable.
Three, the Tesla tower used a wood frame, the pyramid is solid stone. Both are non-metallic
but there is a big difference between wood and stone as building materials. If wood would
suffice then why did the ancient pyramid builders spend all this time to build with big stone
blocks instead of wood? Whoever made the pyramids were very sophisticated, we can imagine that
these structures were designed to use stone specifically.
Four, the Tesla tower is 187’ tall. The Great Pyramid is 480’ (146 meters) tall.
That’s a big difference. I read that the original design of the Tesla tower was 3 times
taller which would be 561’, that’s 171m. Even so the sizes between the two are not
very close.
Five, the Tesla tower was probably not connected to a saltwater aquifer. There was an underground
shaft beneath the tower, 120 feet (37 m) into the ground. Tesla stated that at the bottom
of the shaft he "had special machines rigged up which would push” 16 iron pipes, one
by one, “and then the current through these pipes takes hold of the earth." He didn’t
mention anything about water. Iron rusts faster in saltwater. Why would he use iron pipes
if the shaft was designed to connect to saltwater? It doesn’t make sense.
On top of that, there is no proof that the great pyramid was connected to an aquifer
either. In my last video, I explained why I think
the Osiris Shaft and other shafts on the Giza Plateau were parts of an ancient mining system.
The video link is above. The shafts and the great pyramids are all free of any Egyptian
hieroglyphs and murals while their construction showcases highly sophisticated technology.
The Osiris shaft and the Pyramid of Khufu also share the same large tool marks that
resemble modern machine marks. Hence, it’s possible that the shafts and the pyramids
were built around the same time with similar technology.
The 1st shaft in the Osiris has obvious erosion rings but the lower levels and shafts have
no clear signs of erosion. Interestingly, on the Sphinx’s body there appears to have
similar erosion marks. The Osiris Shaft is on the Giza plateau and the Sphinx is located
on a lower plane therefore the Sphinx’s body could be on the same rock stratifications
with the 1st shaft of the Osiris. I think this could be an indication that the Sphinx
and the Osiris shaft existed around the same time.
Based on the erosion marks on the bedrock surrounding the Sphinx, Geologist Dr. Robert
Schoch dated the Sphinx to the end of the last ice age, over 12,000 years ago. Therefore,
the Osiris shaft and the great pyramid might be equally ancient.
The Giza Plateau is at the opening of the Nile delta and its estuary. Scientists have
pointed out that the groundwater table at coastal areas is associated with the sea level.
If the Giza complex was created over 12,000 years ago, then during that time the sea level
was about 60m lower than today. Therefore, we can assume the groundwater table at Giza
back then would also be about 60m lower than today. I wonder if this low water table would
be sufficient to generate energy as described by the aquifer power plant theory. Btw it’s
also possible that Giza shafts and the pyramid complex were built even earlier, possibly
during the thousand-year-long drought event of HS1 when the water table would be about
100-120m lower.
Building pyramids involves an insane amount of labor. One thing we can be sure about is
that they were built to last. This means their original purpose must have been well thought
out because no one wants to waste all this time and labor to build something temporary.
If the pyramid was designed to draw energy from an underground aquifer, then the engineers
and architects should have considered groundwater fluctuation. They would have thought about
the instability of the water table and the unreliability of building power plants this
way.
Ok, so now we can see that the acclaimed similarities between the great pyramid and the Tesla tower
are based on speculation and inaccurate information. There is another thing worth mentioning about
the Tesla tower. I’ll quote Tom Lee, a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University
who calls Tesla a hero and has studied Tesla’s patents and notebooks. About the Tesla tower,
Professor Lee said: “It’s certainly a nice sounding dream. But as with everything
else, the fantasy kind of falls apart the closer you look at the details.” “If you’re
going to deliver a useful amount of power to an arbitrary point somewhere distant, that
means you’re going to have to be spraying an enormous amount of power to lots of other
points that aren’t necessarily using the power.” “In principle, yes, you could
in fact supply energy this way, but it would be a horribly, horribly inefficient way to
do it.” Most people don’t want to live near a power
plant or power lines. Some research papers argue that long-term exposure to high-voltage
wires can lead to health problems such as childhood leukemia. Some papers claim high-voltage
wires don’t cause cancer. But no matter what, multiple states in America have mandated
safety clearances and setback distances around power lines. Other countries such as Great
Britain, Finland, Switzerland, Bulgaria, and Israel also have setback requirements for
high voltage power lines. Austria requires underground burial of all new transmission
lines. Safety clearance – that’s a pretty telling term, isn’t it? To be safe, we need
to stay away from power lines at certain distances. If the Pyramid power plant and Tesla tower
did work and constantly emitted microwave radiation or electricity, then all living
creatures on the planet would have been exposed to this giant electromagnetic field. Let’s
say we want to power up heavy machinery with wireless power. This wireless energy needs
to be at certain watts to make this happen, right? That means this giant electromagnetic
field needs to be very strong. Thus everyone would be living within this strong electromagnetic
field which would be like living by power lines, right? I don’t know. Correct me if
I’m wrong. But to me this might not be a good thing.
Not too long ago, a company called Viziv technologies built a modern version of the Tesla tower
in Texas. Here is a 2019 article with a very daring title: The death of the power cable:
How a US wireless power company is revolutionizing energy supply. However, this company filed
for bankruptcy in October 2020.
Ok, I think I have revealed enough evidence to argue that the great pyramid was not a
power plant. Then what was it? Or better yet, what were all the big pyramids? As I mentioned
earlier, we shouldn’t single out just one pyramid, we need to look at them as a whole.
I think there is no way that the pyramids were built for form only. They must have a
significant function.
The great pyramid of Giza is the only one with connecting both above and underground
chambers and passageways, while the other large-scale pyramids have minimal openings
and almost all solid, sitting on top of underground chambers. Who would build such massive structures
that one can’t even use? Even for the great pyramid, if the goal was to create chambers
and pathways, then it was completely unnecessary to pile up all these stone blocks. If the
builders just skipped every ten blocks, a lot of labor would have been saved and the
structural integrity wouldn’t have been impacted. Then why would the ancient builders
choose to waste so much work and building material? Unless it was their intention to
pack as much material as possible.
Wait, is that it? The way these pyramids were constructed indicated that they were designed
to contain as many blocks as possible. This could be their function, which was to safely
store enormous amounts of blocks. What kind of blocks need to be stored this way? You
might think this is ridiculous. But let’s look at this in context.
On the Giza plateau, the large-scale shafts and underground chambers might belong to an
ancient underground mine. The shafts are very close to the pyramids. The great pyramid shares
the same tool marks with the Osiris Shaft. It’s conceivable there was a fundamental
connection between the Giza pyramids and the underground mining system.
If these ancient shafts were excavated for mining, then what possible role could the
pyramids have played in this complex operation? I believe I’ve already been hinting at and
pointing you towards my provocative theory on the purpose of the Giza pyramids. In my
next video, I’ll lay out details to explain my novel theory. There is more to come.
