I remember this magical pyramid nonsense back in the late 1960s and 70s. A local mall, which never took off, decided to build an energy pyramid inside the mall. It is today still a more dead mall.
Yeah, like everyone who reads this will be dumber than a box of hammers.
Tom Snyder had a hilarious show on Pyramid Power on his old Tomorrow show in the 70's. One of the guests was even able to to have his body taken over by a spirit while he sat in a pyramid.
“Great pyramid of Giza’s shape can focus energy through its chambers”
Well, DUUUUH! Where do people think Gillette gets all of its razor blades sharpened, anyway?
So will a Pringles can.
Whatever the hell it is, the Great Pyramid was a lousy undecorated and unnamed tomb, unlike most Egyptian tombs. Not even a naming hieroglyph on the “sarcophagus” after all that work. Bah!
I’m glad that the Egyptologists assumptions are finally being questioned.
The wall paintings finished crumbling off just in the past 150 years or so -- one of the old time Egyptologists found and recorded what was left of an inscription, which made reference to such-and-such a year of the cattle drive. The moisture in the GP is quite high, the Egyptians (who don't want to allow some kind of destructive drilling) jackhammered in a ventilation system about 20 years ago to try to keep it dried out, given the addition of tourists' breath and sweat.
During classical times the Great Pyramid was open to tourists, and the real entrance (not the chiseled-out thieves' hole chipped by order of the caliph during the Dark Ages) made it possible to visit some of the currently unknown (and officially denied) passages, going right up to the rear exit of the King's Chamber. At that time there was still a pile of grave goods in the adjacent room (again, currently unknown), and a traveller of classical times wrote about it. During Byzantine times the Pyramid was resealed (probably an idolatry thing). I suspect the caliph snagged the riches, and if not, the late Romans or the Byzantines did it.
In a square based pyramidal volume, there is a constant: at one third of the height, there is already 2/3 of the volume, no matter the slope. (Source: Jean-Pierre Houdin)
(at half the height, 89 percent of the mass has been laid)
You need to understand this guy is an actual engineer and machinist. Egyptologists do no look at ruins with those principles in mind ... you should keep an open mind when it comes to ancient history ... very little is known for sure when you go back 5-7000 years and beyond.
And the Egyptians and others used crystal lenses optically ground FWIW
Thanks for the interesting link...breakfast viewing....whodahthunk.
My pleasure!
There are a few others along the same lines, slight updates, but this one has the best summary.
Here’s a thought...imagine the polished limestone casing stones on a clear full moon night glowing against a star filled sky with no ground glow... tell me that’s not magic to a distant young goatherd miles away...or to an approaching caravan spotting just the apex, slowly growing in size as they approach. Just awesome in the original sense of that word.
Have a good one.

I imagine that a Sunken Civ playlist would have a nice size audience....
