After much research I have come to the conclusion that the Great Pyramid functioned as a ‘diagnostic solid state device’, a machine that worked without moving parts to measure and understand the earth and the cosmos.

The tiles on the underlying super structure are precisely cut to not only align with the bedrock but also the pyramid itself to maximize the sympathetic resonance the edifice experienced.

Christopher Dunn’s theory that Great Pyramid functioned as coupled resonator holds up when examined in relation to its dimensions (and location) and the Earth’s. I reject Dunn’s hypothesis that Pyramid had moving fuel or parts on the grounds that the inner surfaces of the passages and chambers of the Great Pyramid are too perfect and show negligible wear or corrosion or build up.

I suggest that the ancients would measure the sympathetic resonance of the Great Pyramid by entering its various chambers and taking readings on its tone, vibrations and more. These recordings where gathered to form a resonance record. The record would be periodical and predicable over time. By studying the fluctuations in the resonance record the ancients were able to measure changes in the Earth’s state. The states/changes could be as broad as seasonal changes/duration, tectonic, hydrospheric, P + S waves, astronomic impacts, Earth’s position, rotation, precession, electromagnetic variation (https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.5026556) and more.
It is also possible that the ancients used the resonance record to make future predictions based on repeating patterns and what followed them as a kind of high percentage augury. This interpretation also makes sense when looking at what the Hermes Trismegistus scholars had to say about the pyramid as kind of vessel for all spiritual/ scientific knowledge of the ancient Egyptians.

As for the construction of the pyramids, I opt for the strange. I believe that the ancients had a method of plasticizing stone. The closest description I have ever read or found is Solomon’s Shamir (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon%27s_shamir). Ignoring the Asmodeus sections, one can hypothesize that the shamir was an extremely powerful radiation source that could be focused to plasticize stone before cutting or shaping. Such a method would allow even soft metals or saws to cut the stone and leave the fine thread grooves observed both in the circular saw marks and the incredible tubular drill holes. The best example I have found as evidence of such a process is the famous ‘half cut granite box’ in the Cairo Museum (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDVcF8VL1VU&t=78s)
Observe the elongated mark of denatured stone ahead of the cutting groove. This has been exposed to a ‘Shamir like’ device before the cutting began. It is also possible that the ‘nubs’ found on so much megalithic stone work is a result of impurities in the shamir leading to inconsistent plasticization.

It is telling that when Solomon came to build his temple he was only able to find a piece of Shamir the size of a barley corn. It is possible then that the ‘lost ancient high technology’ espoused by so many is in fact a case of an unknown naturally occurring substance that dissipates, sublimates or denatures over time like a radiation source with a short half life. I find this explanation more intellectually satisfying than other proposed methods.

Love to all, a Blurred Axiom.

It is hard to believe it is just a pile of rocks, the precision with which it was made is astounding, the underlying platform on which it was made is of such a high quality of work we would struggle to do it today, not to mention its exact dimensions (which mirror Earth - scaled down), orientation to true north and position on Earth. If you are at all interested, I suggest you investigate it.

It's just impresive human monument, nothing more or less. No highter technical knowledge is required to explain for building that monuments. Also it's alleged "precision" of placing blocks so perfectly that you cannot put a sheet of paper between one block and another is a myth - there are fragments that look so, but there are many where you could even stick a fragment of small finger inside. While it could been placed in accordance to solar or even stellar cycles, it also might be just pure estetic design based on known-than symethry mathematics and extraordinary stoning/crafting abilities of than-living humans. Ancient Egyptians were geniuses of the pre-classic era, far from primitive cavemen "who couldnt invent wheel" that many hard-try Daniken-like guys paint them. They known cyrcle as geometric figure, the (probably wrong) asumption they has not known wheel is because there is no evidence of chariot using before the wars with "sea people". Egyptians could know carts - and they would not be a usefull machines of war without horses. The early evidence of using horses in Egypt are pretty late (1700 BC), and cows aren't the fastest animal right there. We also know that rock blocks were not transported with a wheels - they used wet sliders instead (Wet wood can be pretty slippy, every guy on the primitive lake pier can try that )

Edit: also, using huge blocks of rocks is NOT a proof of advanced technical civilisation but in contrary something opposed - More primitive civilisation, the more fond of using great blocks. More advanced - more fond of using smaller pieces to build anything.

Not at all. We can lift a magnitude greater weights into air than the heaviest block used in great pyramids, and we can build with even greater precision than ancient Egyptians could ever hope for. TBH La Manche tunnel is more impresive technologycal structure than pyramids (even when more fragile - but pile of rocks is supposed to be stable).

Pyramids are surely fascinating. To me even more fascinating is how much hogwash can people generate when they combine actual physics with fairy tales. The human spirit is just something else!

I read the title and thought it was about how ancient egyptiant states used the pyramides as "solid state devise" to consolidate themself by creating a physical and durable manifestation of their existence.

I now know that I, in fact, was about to discover the secret of the universe.

It was sited and constructed in such a way as to align with various constellations and such, the rays of the sun and moon at certain times and dates entering important chambers through airshafts, that kind of thing. That is the case for many monuments and tombs etc. all over the world from antiquity. People back then could handle the mathematics to do that stuff just fine

Doesn't require aliens or lost civilizations or anything of that nature, just plain old human intelligence

Agreed, no aliens, but potentially lost tech, the stone cutting the pyramid builders did was insane. Also the measurements of the monument indicate knowledge of the geometry of the earth to an astonishing degree.

The gp was built on a scale of 43200: 1 to Earth. Just as when you strike a deep E string on a guitar, the high E string sympathetically resonates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_resonance), the gp would resonate in sympathy to the Earth's naturally occurring resonance.

Whilst I do not believe all of Hancock's conclusions, his measurements are accurate and lend at least a modicum of plausibility to my suggested idea.

https://grahamhancock.com/creightons4/

This link provides some of the context.

For further information if anyone is still interested in the gp, physics and fairy tales:



is a good presentation on the ideas.

Almost.

Actually most of the pyramids are built with majority limestone, which as you would know is a carbonate sedimentary rock often composed of the skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, foraminifera, and molluscs.

Do you give credence to everything strange that you hear or do you actually have a reason to find the notion that pyramids would be "soul-shafts" interesting?

I ask because it seems to me like there are impressionable people out there who are so eager to be in possession of some special arcane knowledge that they'll latch onto any explanation and take hearsay to be evidence. I've heard people say and write with the same type of loose "evidence" that Pyramids were power plants and spaceships and all manner of far-fetched nonsense with loose evidence, sometimes entirely based on non-substantiated evidence provided by youtube videos.

What's wrong with the official given by experts and scientists who went to the pyramids and studied them first hand, using years of accrued knowledge to perfect their craft. They didn't watch youtube videos made by people who regularly lie, misinterpret or misunderstand information, or just speculate wildly. And what's wrong with just accepting that sometimes we don't know things, we don't know all the details.

There are many claims that you make in your post that are VERY bold and would require a lot of evidence to support.

1- "the Great Pyramid functioned as a ‘diagnostic solid state device"
That's a very bold claim, a straight up affirmation that you make with no reserve and seemingly no doubt. The rest of the post is expected to provide evidence for that claim.

2- "passages and chambers of the Great Pyramid are too perfect and show negligible wear or corrosion or build up"
While it is true that the Great Pyramid is impressive, people who try to make pyramids out to be these supernatural constructs all too often completely mischaracterize the "perfection" of the pyramids. It's a myth used as a baseline to make more supernatural claims. Yes, they were a feat of engineering but they are not perfect.

3- "studying the fluctuations in the resonance record the ancients were able to measure changes in the Earth’s state."
It is clear that a structure like this (much like many large structures, man made and otherwise), will have some notable physical property. How can you affirm seemingly without a doubt that these physical properties, in this case the electromagnetic properties of the Great Pyramid, was harnessed (or even noticed) by the "ancients"? Do you have any reason to believe that they tried to use those properties? Do you have reasons to believe that they successfully did so? If so, why do you think they could? Also as a layman, what does that paper have to do with resonance, vibration and sounds?

Anyway that's enough for me. I don't know as much as I would like about the natural world, but part of my training taught me that people who make bold claims that are unsupported by science such as those made in OP tend to have low standards for what constitutes evidence.

I asked about the 'soul shafts' as I am open minded and am happy to have an admittedly outlandish idea of my own proved wrong if it advances my own or another's understanding.


I will try my best to elucidate my position:

At first I listened to the official explanation given by mainstream historians and Egyptologists, but then I came across the studies of Randall Carlson and Robert Schoch and I discovered that many of the claims made by the mainstream failed to account for the evidence seen at the Giza Plateau (the age of sphinx, the proposed time it took to construct the gp, the methodologies utilized in its construction, the refutation that the geometry of the pyramid relates to the size of the Earth, its axis, the oldest granite work and construction work on the Giza Plateau is of higher quality than the new work, and more).

As for the measuring of vibrations of the gp, naturally I cannot attest with certainty that the ancients knew of electromagnetic properties, however the paper I referenced shows how the gp focuses electromagnetic energy. I find it to be an uncanny phenomenon to have been accidentally built into one of the most enigmatic constructions on the planet. None the less, we are on more certain ground when we assert the ancients knew of music and its associated vibrations.

Really, saying the gp is a diagnostic solid state device, is only saying it was a precisely constructed monument built with mathematics/ science for the purpose of further mathematics/ science, the rest is just imaginative speculation on my behalf.
