A few weeks ago a story was being pushed on the Internet that satellite radar had discovered a city or something else huge beneath the Great Pyramid. We have no technology that can see that far into the earth, and the story is a load of crap. Someone is always trying to tell us crazy stuff about those pyramids.
It is pretty certain, though, that they weren’t built by the Egyptians, who first came on the scene about 5000 years ago. A lot of valid evidence has been found to indicate they were built at least 10,000 years ago. For instance, there used to be a very visible high water mark about 2/3rds the way up the Great Pyramid in the 19th century, which was wiped away by the hordes of tourists who climbed all over it. That water mark could only have been left by the great flood that came after the ice melted.
What’s truly weird is that now there’s very strong evidence that the Great Pyramid, at least, was built to be a sort of power plant. It has the equivalent of a huge ram pump for water in it that would have generated impact pulses at a set rate, that would have generated an electric charge in the type of rock the pyramid is built of.
The pyramid was at one time heavily covered on the outside with limestone, which is a very electrically insulative material. The tip of the pyramid was at one time made of gold, one of the best conductors of electricity, and a room was discovered by sending a tiny robot with a video camera up a very small shaft, that ends in a room that had been sealed up, and inside it, sticking out of the back wall, are two very heavy copper cables. Whatever technology had been in the room had been removed before it was sealed, and the channel leading into it had to have a purpose, which could have been for an exit cable.
When the people who built all this left, they took their technology with them. You would do that if you planned to install it wherever you were going to. Or you might do it to keep whoever is coming behind you from using it.
The whole thing is weird. What this setup would have generated was piezo-electric power, static electricity in other words. Like the spark you sometimes get from walking across a rug and then touching something made of metal. Only this would have been a massive spark when it discharged, maybe off that gold cap at the peak.
If the charge was connected to a bank of condensers it could have been used as a DC power source, as a piezo-electric crystal will keep right on delivering a spark every time it’s tapped, in this case by the impact of water against stone from that ram pump/pulse generator.
There are some parts of all those massive Egyptian ruins that are much older than others, parts that the new Egyptians clearly used as foundations to build onto or that they extended out from.
Fascinating stuff. Science and discovery march on, and more and more it looks like there was a much more advanced civilization on our planet before the ice melted and drowned it, back 11,000 or 12,000 years ago, than what we know of today. What those ancient peoples wanted with a massive spark generator and why they’d go to such great trouble to build these piles of stone is a mystery maybe someday we’ll solve.
