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!


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.


A scale with respect to what? What do you mean by "Earth's naturally occuring resonance"? The interior of the Earth is too complex, layered and even partially liquid to act for it to show any specific resonant behaviour. Until you provide specific physical explanations for your term I (and anyone with physics knowledge) will consider this to be a vague mambo jumbo about "resonances" that pseudo-scientificly inclined people like to repeat ad nauseum without it having any substance.

According to Ancient Egyptian mythology and cosmology, they believed one’s soul had to travel to a specific star constallation (name eludes me) where one would be judged by the Gods and if one were deemed worthy, one might be elevated to become a star.
There are shafts in the pyramides that are directed at these star constallations. That’s about it.

From what epoch? Egyptian religion had as long evolution as classic , medieval and modern eras combined.

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.
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).

The problem is that it's impossible to prove a negative, and also it's impossible to have a foothold when having an argument with someone who accepts "evidence" seemingly at random. You mention Randall Carlson who seems to hold beliefs which go against the scientific consensus and has no credentials, and Robert M. Schoch who seems to be a doctor I don't know much about his studies but it seems like he uses a single data point, erosion patterns, to make a pretty wild conclusion about the age of the Sphinx. That is not conclusive evidence by any stretch of the imagination.

History and anthropology is very rigorous scientific work, geology is as well. Jumping at hypotheses about the life of ancient people based on the wild assertions made from a handful of rogue academics who's claims don't pass the test of peer review is dangerous because you built your theories on shaky grounds.



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.

Alright well if you call it imaginative speculation I'm fine with that. I don't know enough about physics to be able to understand really what it means that the Great Pyramid focuses electromagnetic energy, but what I know is that structural engineers, especially those who build large and complex structures, deal with a variety of strange phenomenons of physics and they need to account of them, ranging from bridges emitting strange high pitched sounds, buildings collapsing due to resonance, vibrations, etc. It wouldn't be surprise me if a slew of other constructs, modern and ancient, had similar characteristics that were not designed for.

Given that pyramids are large and dense structures with pretty precise shapes and cavities and tunnels, it seems pretty reasonable to me that they would inherently have physical properties that aren't witnessed in any other constructs. Other buildings don't have walls that thick and dense, caves and tunnels through mountains tend to have uneven walls and such.

As for music, of course ancient Egyptians knew it, but to go from knowledge of music to being able to determine things about the cosmos based on vibrations in a hollowed out space seems like a big leap to me. Whatever information you may be able to gather from such vibrations is probably extremely limited even with modern instruments.

Lastly I want to apologize if I came off as overly antagonistic. Cheers.

Mostly this kind of stuff. Even on a modern well-made simple guitar you have to adjust it from time to time as the intonation goes off. Open string, fretted at 12th and fretted at the 24th should be the exact same note up an octave and up again at those positions, but it can slip slightly and need tweaking.

That’s a simple stringed instrument in the modern era and it can still not adhere perfectly to frequency expectations, I can’t see how an entire building built in ancient times is going to have any specifically built in properties to study or use resonance somehow.

While an absence of evidence isn’t evidence in and of itself, especially for that long ago, the fact we’ve never found any kind of record in all sorts of Ancient places for the more outlandish claims of what structures were for, but we’ve found plenty of stuff about all sorts of other things they were up to.

They are interesting theories and seem plausible read in isolation, which is why peer review is important. Dr Scotch’s claims about erosion and the Sphinx for example, well I don’t know anything about erosion patterns, to either agree or debunk the claims.

I definitely don't know enough to debunk or confirm anything he said but I find it hard to go against the scientific consensus in general. These are very smart people who are passionate and take pride in their work. If the vast majority of them find that an anomaly in erosion patterns doesn't constitute sufficient evidence to make an affirmation, I tend to believe them.

I mean how many times are geologists surprised by stuff. If you google the words "erosion faster than expected" you'll get a bunch of results.

i always thought it was very cool that the sides lined up with the cardinal directions. and that it was such a massive structure created without sophisticated machinery. but still, if you throw enough slaves at something and don't give a shit whether they die, you can create a lot of cool shit.

I am amazed at the skill of the op into luring people to read and to express themselves.


Provoking discussion about Pyramids or any ancient monument is easy mode, because there is/was too many guys who believe in some fridge theories about them and it's too difficult to find out who is serious and who is not.

Wait you’re telling me the Pyramids were some Ancient Egyptian giant industrial scale meat locker?!

It kind of is a giant, industrial grade, meat locker. That's why they stored dead bodies in it.

Very inefficient if they can only store one body per pyramid.

Pyramid Power !

The team coach's daughter suffered from chronic brutal migraines. After sleeping with a Pyramid under her bed her migraines went away.

The Toronto Maple Leafs went 3-0 against the Stanley Cup champions with Pyramids under their bench and a 12 foot pyramid in their dressing room.

Leading Egyptologist Alejandro Lipschutz concluded the pyramids channeled van der waals cell interactions making the players stronger.



Dr. Lipschutz also noted that the channeling process experiences white noise interference whenever the Stanley Cup is nearby and this dampens the helpfulness of the Pyramids. Note the shape of the Stanley Cup.

As the Van der waal forces go thru the pyramid they are then counter acted by the presence of the nearby Stanley Cup which consists of almost pure silver or Ag as is known in the scientific world. The diagram below demonstrates this.

This complex interaction of hamiltonian forces and sub atomic particles combined with uncertain quantum states has proven to be a sufficient reason why the Toronto Maple Leafs have not won the Stanley Cup in 52 years.

The equation is here. you simply solve for x and t.
−iℏ∂ψ(x,t)∂t = Hψ(x,t)

Pyramides are soul-shafts


This is interesting, care to elaborate...????

According to Ancient Egyptian mythology and cosmology, they believed one’s soul had to travel to a specific star constallation (name eludes me) where one would be judged by the Gods and if one were deemed worthy, one might be elevated to become a star.
There are shafts in the pyramides that are directed at these star constallations. That’s about it.


The specific constellation you refer to is the Orion.

Orion in Egyptian mythology was the god of the afterlife, not to be confused with Anubis who would guard the gate and allow souls into the afterlife.

This hypothesis is somewhat supported by the fact that:
1. The pyramids are built in a layout that mirrors Orion's belt.
2. Roughly 12k years ago, Orion was visible in the night sky above Egypt and aligned with the Pyramids due to the procession of the equinoxes.
3. The constellation of leo was also visible around that time and lined up nicely with the Sphinx as well.

If true this would make Egyptian civilization not only one of the oldest, but one of the most sophisticated, at least in certain domains.

Orion and Leo are still visible above Egypt, as they have been ... well since someone was there to look up and name them (they did not exist since forever because stars veeeeery slowly move with respect to each other, but Earth's precession has virtually no influence on their visibility from Egypt). If you want to claim the constellation "aligned" with anything, you need to support it with some geometry, because the Earth rotates and both Orion and Leo are close to the celestial equator and thus travel literally across half of the sky.
