Pyramid A Power Plant?

(Conspiracy Nation, 07/09/06) -- You were likely taught in school that Egyptian pyramids were tombs for the Pharaohs. Yet an awkward fact is, no mummys have been found in the pyramids. This fact is usually attributed to grave-robbers. However, why would a grave-robber bother to steal a mummy? Suppose, for the moment, that the pyramids were not tombs, but something else.

Thousands of years from now, what will the natives say about remains of nuclear power plants? That they were tombs for the "Federal" Reserve chieftains?

Throughout various reports by Conspiracy Nation, it is urged for readers to "take a second look." Many things you may think you "know" might be worth re-examining. Case in point: that the pyramids were "tombs for the pharaohs."

Erosion Of The Sphinx

Painstakingly translating an obscure French book into English, John Anthony West was struck by incidental mention of the Sphinx having been eroded by water.

Eroded by water!? Egypt is arid! How could the Sphinx have been eroded by water?

This puzzle sent West on a decades-long quest. The mystery of the Sphinx eroded by water, and a possible solution, are outlined in Edward F. Malkowski's well-grounded book, Before The Pharaohs.

Malkowski offers evidence supporting a theory that the Sphinx had been built thousands of years earlier than the pyramids. It appears that rain, in a previous climatic context (ca. 8000-5000 B.C.), must have gradually worn down the Sphinx.

The difficulty with a Sphinx construction in such an ancient time-frame, much before the pyramids were built, is it flies in the face of conventional thinking. The dominant history says civilization appeared from nowhere, in Sumeria, circa 4000 B.C., and it's been "onward and upward" ever since. A Sphinx construction in 7000 B.C. is a bugaboo to comfortable thought. It could mean someone might have to re-write the history books, and what a chore that would be! So there is a tendency, on the part of some, to be hostile to "the Sphinx in the living room."

No Cultural Context

Carved around 7000 B.C. by some unknown civilization, the Sphinx has "no cultural context." West reportedly favors "another, older culture" as tutors of the ancient Egyptians.

Like the misinterpreted pyramids, other artifacts have been misunderstood, according to machining methods expert Christopher Dunn. For example, presumed sarcophagi carved out of single blocks of granite show precision only equaled with difficulty even today.

But the pyramids themselves are the most remarkable artifacts of all. Inside have been found still more exquisitely carved stone chests. Their purpose, according to Dunn, was as an element for a complex energy plant.

The Giza Power Plant

There is a tendency for some to see what they want to see when contemplating the pyramids. Some, for instance, have detected the Golden Ratio. However Mario Livio in his book, The Golden Ratio, demonstrates errors in such presumption.

On the other hand, the tendency to see what one wants to see has caused many to see "tombs of the Pharaohs" when pondering the pyramids. A theory having the pyramids as a power-generating method actually is more supportable than the prevalent tomb theory.

Minor earthquakes occur constantly. The earth vibrates and has its own frequency. These earthquake vibrations are a form of energy.

Interfacing with the earth, the pyramids, according to Dunn, are a machine meant to translate kinetic energy to electrical energy. The pyramids, coupled acoustically with the Earth, resonated in harmony with it.

Inside the vast structure, the vibrations were transformed. The King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid, made of Aswan granite consisting largely of silicon-quartz crystal, worked as a transducer. As with a tuning fork, on a larger scale maximization of resonance was achieved: the granite/crystal became a vibrating mass of energy.

In the Queen's Chamber, two chemicals -- hydrated zinc chloride and dilute hydrochloric acid -- were mixed together to create hydrogen gas. Resonators in the Grand Gallery, tuned to different harmonic frequencies, in series raised the amplitude. These stepped up frequencies in turn excited hydrogen gas to higher energy levels, yielding electricity, if Dunn is correct. (See also Dunn's web site at http://www.gizapower.com/)

Of course, at this point, the idea of the pyramids as power plants is only theoretical. Skepticism is expressed, for example, at http://www.eridu.co.uk/Author/egypt/rivaldunn.html. Nonetheless, in these times of energy transition, from carbon-emission fuels to alternate sources, Dunn's theory deserves more than knee-jerk scoffing. Even if the pyramids were not power plants, that doesn't mean constant low-level earthquake energy could not be transformed.

From a different perspective, the question arises as to what would the ancient Egyptians have used the electricity for? Did they have light bulbs?? A problem is that our own 21st century paradigm tends to serve as framework for the past. The ancient Egyptians might have used the electricity for something totally unimagined by ourselves.
