Did Jewish Slaves Build the Pyramids?  “We also know quite a lot about the labor force that built the pyramids. The best estimates are that 10,000 men spent 30 years building the Great Pyramid. They lived in good housing at the foot of the pyramid, and when they died, they received honored burials in stone tombs near the pyramid in thanks for their contribution. This information is relatively new, as the first of these worker tombs was only discovered in 1990. They ate well and received the best medical care. And, also unlike slaves, they were well paid. The pyramid builders were recruited from poor communities and worked shifts of three months (including farmers who worked during the months when the Nile flooded their farms), distributing the pharaoh's wealth out to where it was needed most. Each day, 21 cattle and 23 sheep were slaughtered to feed the workers, enough for each man to eat meat at least weekly. Virtually every fact about the workers that archaeology has shown us rules out the use of slave labor on the pyramids.”

So, if it’s not a Tomb, what the hell is it? Christopher Dunn’s Acoustic Resonator From Dunn: In ‘The Giza Power Plant’ page xix paragraph 3, I state: 

I began to see the drawings of the Great Pyramid, with its numerous chambers and 

passageways positioned with such deliberate accuracy, as the schematics of a very large 

machine. I became convinced that it could not be anything else, and I set about trying to 

understand how this machine operated. The effort could be considered similar to what is 

known as the process of reverse engineering. To be successful at this, I knew that I had to 

find an answer for every single detail found within the Great Pyramid. I could not ignore 

any evidence or twist it in any way. I was determined to prepare a report that was 

accurate and as honest as I was capable of making it. 

On page123 paragraph 2, I state, “In proposing my theory that the Great pyramid is a 

power plant, I am not adamantly adhering to any one proposition. The possibilities may 

be numerous.” 

On page 255 paragraph 2, I state: 

My theory is that the Great Pyramid was the ancient Egyptians’ power plant. However 

radical the idea may seem, it is, in my mind, supported by hard archaeological evidence. 

The artifacts reveal that the ancient Egyptians used advanced machining methods, which 

supports the deduction that their civilization, and perhaps others, was technologically 

advanced. Nevertheless, even with the powerful evidence I have presented throughout 

this book, and the growing support for such ideas, there is still a mountain of evidence, 

or lack of it, that prevents this theory’s total acceptance. I acknowledge this truth, and I 

am open to revising my power plant theory if another theory presents itself to explain all 

the anomalies in the ancient artifacts and pyramids I have examined to build my own 

case.

Electromagnetic properties of the Great Pyramids https://steemkr.com/news/@samstonehill/electromagnetic-discovery-at-great-pyramid-of-giza-supports-ancient-power-plant-theory “Ten days ago a study published in phys.org confirmed the existence of a concentration of electromagnetic energy under the base of the Great Pyramid and within its chambers. Above you can see images of the measurable electromagnetics which according to Newsweek are there purely by chance: The unusual electromagnetic properties of the pyramid are almost certainly just a coincidence of its structure, as it is highly unlikely that the Ancient Egyptians knew anything about this.

Grand Gallery & Corbeled Ceiling

Queens Chamber Filled with Seawater The salt build up: Christopher Dunns says "In 'The Giza Power Plant' I present the results given in 1978 by the Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology who did a chemical analysis of this salt. They found it to be a mixture of calcium carbonate (limestone), sodium chloride (halite or salt), and calcium sulfate (gypsum, also known as plaster of paris). Patrick Flanagan, Ph.D, collected the sample and certified its origin."

Antechamber with notches.

King’s Chamber

Christoper Dunn’s Acoustic Resonator “long-standing claim by Chris Dunn that it was a large acoustical device using harmonic resonance to convert the earth’s vibration energies to microwave radiation.”

The Wooden Wheel of the Grand Gallery “The clue is in the design of the gallery. If you recall the width of the sunken

section of floor is the same as that between the highest pair of corbelled walls.

It suggests something was placed between the floor and ceiling, the most

obvious being a large wheel which ran up and down the length of the gallery,

it’s axle sat in the shallow groove gouged out (perhaps by its motion) of either

wall at slightly less than half the distance between the floor and ceiling. It was

supported in a cradle that rested on guide wheels set into those enigmatic

recesses on either side of the ramps and walls.”

The Queen’s chamber is a Pump!

“The next piece of this ancient puzzle lies in the Queen’s chamber or, more

specifically, the corbelled niche. It housed a non-return valve for sea water

entering the chamber from a semi-artificial blow hole. As the tide came in, the

swell forced water up into the chamber where it quickly flooded the

passageways and grand gallery

However, with a simple open and shut valve the force of the tide alone would

not have been sufficient to flood the gallery to the top. The high reinforced

ceiling and low doorway creates a space above the water line in which air is

trapped and it is the air, which is compressed with each pulse of sea water,

that acts as a non-mechanical piston to force water into the gallery as it

expands with the valve shut. The decreasing area of the valve increases the

force of air/water exiting at the top by a factor of 5 to overcome the pressure of

the air above the water line due to the height of water in the Grand Gallery (2

atm at most). A freestanding wooden box would probably not have survived

the increased force, which is why it was set into the rear wall. So, were those

enigmatic “sealed” channels necessary to allow air into the chamber and drain

it before the machine worked? (here’s a clue – they’re level with the top of the

doorway into the chamber).

Pump .gif

Drain Valves “The three granite plugs (discovered at the lower end of the ascending passage)

were originally set within the girdle stones and kept in place by wooden

wedges on each side. The plugs limited the rate at which the water drained

from the gallery allowing it to fill more quickly than it would empty. A false

floor at the foot of the gallery acted as a non-return valve to reduce the

pressure from the head of water in the gallery and so improve the performance

of the pistonless pump in the Queen’s chamber. At rest the wooden wheel sat

on the valve preventing it from opening until sufficient water to float the wheel

had filled the lower gallery. This possibly stopped the wheel from bobbing up

and down as the water pulsed in during the initial stages of filling, which

would otherwise damage the gallery roof. There appears to be some evidence

of the wheel’s effect on the gallery roof to suggest the components of the wheel

were bound around the circumference by metal straps.”

Winders and Regulators The heart of the machine was located in the King’s chamber. Though it looks

complex in the diagram it was in fact a very simple arrangement of drums

used to hold ropes arranged as follows:

1. Ropes (red) attached to the wooden wheel passed through a

tensioner in the antechamber before being wound onto a drum

located in the King’s chamber. The tensioner is designed to take up

the slack in the red ropes with each pulse of water entering the

Grand Gallery.

2. A rope (blue) wound onto a second drum passed through the

southern air-shaft to the south face of the pyramid where it was

attached to a counterweight.

3. The drums were attached to the same axle and wound the (red and

blue) ropes in opposing directions so that as one wound the other

unwound.

4. Ropes (yellow) fixed to the structure were wrapped around (but

not attached to ) another drum on the same axle. These ropes

acted as a brake and were held taught by a single (yellow) rope

which passed through the northern air-shaft to a float device fixed

on the north face of the pyramid.

Counterweight “The (blue) rope exited the King’s southern air-shaft and was attached to a

dolly suspended on the south face. The stone counterweight on this dolly

weighed slightly less than the wooden wheel (this is the same idea used in

modern elevators). As the wooden wheel floated up the gallery the (blue) rope

unwound as the counterweight descended. This turned the axle onto which all

drums were attached and wound the (red) rope attached to the wooden wheel.

When the water started to drain from the gallery the wooden wheel rolled back

down the gallery because it was no longer supported by the water and so was

‘heavier’ than the counterweight. As it descended the (red) rope unwound,

which in turn wound the (blue) rope onto its drum, raising the counterweight

in the process.”

Float

The (yellow) rope exited the King’s northern air-shaft and was attached to a

float device fixed onto the north face. At high tide the wooden block in the

device floated and the (yellow) rope became slack, which released the brake

allowing the wooden wheel to float up the gallery. At low tide the wooden

block, no longer supported by the water, pulled on the (yellow) rope. This

tightened the (yellow) ropes wrapped around the brake drum, which helped

regulate the speed of the wooden wheel as it rolled back down the gallery.

Line tensioner The (red) ropes attached to the wooden wheel passed through a system of

pulleys in the antechamber designed to maintain the tension. This was

necessary to take up any slack in the ropes when the wooden wheel was raised

by successive pulses of sea water in the gallery. The design of the antechamber

allowed for the assembly of the device from the top. The principle was very

simple:

1. Three pulleys are fixed in the recesses above the slots in the

Antechamber walls.

2. Four (gray) ropes fixed at the south end of the Antechamber are

looped through the pulleys, under the gray slab and fixed at the

north end.

3. Two more pulleys are suspended in loops in the (gray) ropes below

the fixed pulleys.

4. Three (red) ropes pass through three pulleys fixed at the base of

the Antechamber and loop through the two pulleys suspended by

the four (gray) ropes.

5. The two centrally positioned pulleys are held in tension by the pull

of the (red) ropes below acting against the (gray) ropes above. As

the (red) ropes become slack the excess is taken up by the (gray)

ropes pulled down by the weight of the granite slab.

Powerhouse This gives a better view of the winder mechanism and brake drum. The other

ends of the four yellow ropes are fixed to the back of the structure. The

question now is, what did it drive?

The most obvious answer is an electric dynamo. After all, every part of an

iron-based machine would, in time, rust without trace. But the inclusion of a

dynamo would add an unnecessary leap in technology to a mechanism which

is, up to this point, well within the capabilities of the civilization that built the

pyramids. It also ignores the strange arrangement of granite blocks in the

so-called ‘relieving chambers’.

Sonic Resonator The answer could lie in the piezoelectric properties of quartz contained in the

granite. Basically, when certain crystals are deformed they release a charge.

The physics behind it is not yet fully understood but it is the principle behind

many cigarette and stove lighters whereby a manual trigger is used to hammer

a piece of quartz and generate an arc of electricity between two contacts.

In the machine above the torque from the axle rotates a rosined wheel against

several strings to produce a constant sound in much the same way the ‘Hurdy

Gurdy‘ is played. A device of substantial proportions mounted atop the

‘sarcophagus’ would vibrate the entire structure of the chamber and relieving

chambers above. The design of the relieving chambers is reminiscent of an air

capacitor and it may have been possible to hold electrical charge for use over a

period longer than that during which the sound was being generated.

Pyramid lighthouse Given the location of the pyramid on the edge of the plateau the most obvious

reason for building it and generating electrical current has to be a lighthouse.

Although this requires slightly less of a leap in technology than the use of a

dynamo, a civilization capable of harnessing piezoelectricity must surely have

found ways of using it. An alternative might be the production of sound alone,

the pyramid acting as a beacon.

That raises the question … to whom were they signaling?

Another consideration is the use of close fitting, large polished limestone

blocks to withstand the constant pounding from the sea. Similar designs can

be seen today in coastal defenses around the world. Just how high must the

sea level have been to warrant such a structure?

Hour 2: The Standard Model vs Reality Myths Vs. Facts (Special Shoutout to UnchartedX on Youtube for the info) He’s got some great videos on YoutTube everyone should go check him out. He actually goes to these places and investigates, he’s got really cool footage that you will not see anywhere else.

Timeline The standard model timeline tells us that the Great Pyramid was built between 20-27 years. Or 13 million minutes

- 2-3 million limestone blocks in the GP (2-3 tones avg) - That means, 1 block must be Cut, Transported, expertly laid every 5 minutes. - Single blocks weigh up to 70 tonnes. - All done with pounding stones, hemp rope, copper chisels, and manpower.

- Put simply, this is nonsense. Take for example The Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico. This Pyramid has a more reasonable construction length of 150 years. The researchers for these sites aren’t constrained by the burial timelines.

- The only reason Egyptologists are so persistent with the timeline is because they cling to the delusion that the Pyramids were Burial Chambers for the Pharaohs. The funny thing is, they’ve found zero evidence of the Pyramids being burial chambers. Attributions to Khufu As we saw before, the Cartouche of Khufu was allegedly discovered in the top of the relieving chambers of the GP. This has been taken as proof that the Pyramid must have been attributed to Khufu. In fact, the man responsible has a bit of a shady history.

The Cartouche attributing the Great Pyramid to Khufu was discovered by English soldier and Egyptologist Howard Vyse. Vyse was (in)famous for his "gunpowder archaeology.” (literally blasting holes though chambers with gunpowder) His discovery of the Royal Cartouche thereby confirmed Khufu's involvement with the Great Pyramid – an association which had,

until then, been reported only by the Greek Scholar Herodotus[19][25][26] It is important to note that Herodotus is notable in history for his many embellishments and inaccuracies. Herodotus still serves as the primary, and often only, source for events in the Greek world, Persian Empire, and the region generally in the two centuries leading up

until his own day.[16][45] The reason I bring all this up is because, had Vyse needed to pin the building on someone in the absence of any evidence, Khufu was a natural fit, given the Herodotus connection.

There has been controversy surrounding Vyse, and the notion he may have written the Cartouche himself in order to secure further funding from the Royal Family.

Bonus: Slaves built the pyramids. No they didn’t. Skilled workers built the pyramids. They were not mistreated. They were well taken care of, by the standards of the day and many were ritually buried near the complex. “Ancient Egyptians didn’t use the wheel”

Proposed Construction Methods

Winding or spiral ramp This model is the one, most Egyptologists propose.

Main problems: 1. It is extremely difficult to maneuver the large blocks of stone around the corners. The hauling teams can only haul the blocks in a straight line, so each block would have to be levered separately at the corners. To lever a 2.5 to 6 tons stone around a 90°-corner definitely needs more than a minute. 2. Measuring and controlling the shape of the pyramid is very difficult because the ramp covers most of the pyramid. 3. When using only one ramp, it is impossible to move the massive amount of material needed (1 block per minute). 4. Some winding ramps are suggested, that only rest on the unfinished outer casing blocks for support. Other models suggest several winding ramps, one propped on top of the other. Such

structures are inherently unstable. The larger ramps flanking the pyramid are more stable but need more material to build. 5. Spiral ramps cover nearly the whole surface of the pyramid, but never the less there are several places on the flank that are not reached directly by a ramp. So to trim the pyramid face from extra stock and polish the surface (smoothing the casing blocks is planed for the end, when dismantling the ramps), additional smaller ramps or scaffolds have to be built. Advantages: Less material necessary to build.

The straight-on ramp

Ramps made from adobe blocks and debris have been suggested by a lot of archeologists. The simplest model is a ramp straight up to the side of the pyramid. Main problems: 1. To build these kind of ramps a huge volume of material has to be used - with some models a fifth to two fifth of the amount of material used for building the pyramid itself. 2. The gradient can't be very high, otherwise the blocks can't be pulled up the steep slope. With a realistic angle of inclination, the ramp would be 1553m (5°) respectively 713m (10°) long at the very top (146.59m high) 3. A single ramp is not enough for the one block per minute, that had to be hauled up to the pyramid. 4. Every time the ramp has reached a higher stone course it has to be made higher and lengthened, interrupting the building process. Soon there are serious problems of stability, unless you use a very wide base. Advantages: The four corners of the pyramid aren't covered by the ramp, so controlling and measuring the shape of the pyramid is possible.

Zigzag ramp

This model proposes switchback ramps zigzagging up one of the faces of the pyramid. This model is also used in several other models for the last 50 meters, where other kinds of ramps are too steep or need a very large base. Main problems: 1. It is extremely difficult to maneuver the large blocks of stone around the corners. The crews of stone haulers can only haul the blocks in a straight line, so each block would have to be levered separately at the corners. Illustration 2. If you want to maintain a functional slope (5°-10°) the ramp has to run back and forth several times. This can only be accomplished by using a large base and a lot of ramp material. Advantages: Two corners of the pyramid aren't covered by the ramp, so measuring and controlling the shape of the pyramid is difficult but possible.

Internal ramp V1

The internal ramp is a straight-up ramp leading into the body of the pyramid. Main problems: 1. The shafts, corridors and chambers inside the pyramids can only be built with difficulties. The ramp would probably be built on the south, and the chambers are in the middle and the shafts at the north of the pyramid, so they hamper each another. 2. Towards the top of the pyramid the ramp would be much too steep. Advantages: 1. This ramp requires less material to build than other models.

Internal ramp V2

Combination ramp model

This model proposes a combination of ramps around the structure of the pyramid. Small straight-on ramps are used for the first meters of height. Then the material is used for a larger ramp leaning against the pyramid flank. For the final part, a series of stepped ramps are used. Illustration

Main problems: 1. The ramp material is moved to another part of the pyramid construction site several times. Each time the actual work process has to be interrupted. With mud bricks as ramp material, those could probably only be used once. 2. A stone block destined for the very top has to follow an extremely complicated course with a lot of twists and turns, up several different ramps, around corners and so on. 3. It is extremely difficult to maneuver the large blocks of stone around the corners. The crews of stone haulers can only haul the blocks in a straight line, so each block would have to be levered separately at the corners. Illustration 4. The ramp used towards the end is quite large and uses a lot of material (see further illustrations). Advantages: The first few meters can be built relatively fast, because several ramps are used.

What has been found? The unknowns of pyramid construction chiefly center on the question of how the blocks were moved up the superstructure. There is no known accurate historical or archaeological evidence that definitively resolves the question. Therefore, most discussion on construction methods involves functional possibilities that are supported by limited historical and archaeological evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramid_construction_techniques#Building_the_pyramids_from_quarried_stone_blocks Only small, embankment-like structures have been discovered on the Giza plateau. Actually some smaller ramps were found - one on the southern side of the pyramid of Medûm (Meidum), which was 5m wide (adobe bricks) and at the pyramid of Sesostris I in Lisht there is a ramp of about 50m length. But these ramps are much smaller than the huge construction ramps suggested by the Egyptologists, more like transport roads or auxiliary ramps. Facts contradicting all models All ramps get smaller when they reach the upper portion of the pyramid. So it is of great importance, that when you get higher up you only use smaller and lighter stones. With a ramp you would expect, that the size of the stones would decrease steadily as you get higher. It is interesting, that this is not the case in the pyramid of Khufu! On the contrary you find thicker stone layers even very high up - on 69m, 75m and on 89m. As the stones forming the core of the pyramids were roughly cut, especially in the Great Pyramid, the material used to fill the gaps was another problem. Huge quantities of gypsum and rubble were needed.[6][7] The filling has almost no binding properties, but it was necessary to stabilize the construction. To make the gypsum mortar, it had to be dehydrated by heating which requires large quantities of wood. According to Egyptologists, the findings of both the 1984 and

1995 David H. Koch Pyramids Radiocarbon Projects[8][9] may suggest that Egypt had to strip its forest and scrap every bit of wood it had to build the pyramids of Giza and other even earlier 4th Dynasty pyramids. Carbon dating samples from core blocks and other materials revealed that dates from the 1984 study averaged 374 years earlier than currently accepted and the 1995 dating averaging 100–200 years. As suggested by team members, "We thought that it was unlikely that the pyramid builders consistently used centuries-old wood as fuel in preparing mortar. The 1984 results left us with too little data to conclude that the historical chronology of the Old Kingdom was wrong by nearly 400 years, but we considered this at least a possibility". To explain this discrepancy, Egyptologists proposed the "old wood" theory claiming the earlier dates were possibly derived from recycling large amounts of centuries old wood and other earlier materials.[10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramid_construction_techniques#Building_the_pyramids_from_quarried_stone_blocks

Copper Chisels/Saws & pounding stones

Problems with the proposed methods of construction

Precision cuts in granite How were they able to make precision cuts, level to the micron with copper chisels and pounding stones? I’m willing to allow that the tools may have been able to complete the rough cutting, maybe, even though I don’t personally believe it. But some of these blocks & other artifacts are so accurate, and so expertly laid/carved, it suggests a much more refined technique. Example:

Precision & the Sacred Geometry of the Great Pyramid Alignment: Researchers are also impressed by the accuracy and alignment of the pyramids. The Great Pyramid, for instance, is 0.15 degrees off the true north-south.  This level of precision was only matched in the 17th Century at the Observatory of Paris. It was 5 times less precise, even then.   Tropical Year: 

The perimeter of the base divided by 100 = 365.24, the number of days in a year.  

The Eight Sides: This concavity divides each of the apparent four sides in half, creating a very special and unusual eight-sided pyramid; and it is executed to such an extraordinary degree of precision as to enter the realm of the uncanny. When viewed from any ground position or distance, this concavity invisible to the naked eye. The sides also seem to signal the Spring & Winter Equinoxes. Egyptologists claim that this is a pure accident.

 

 

Give definition of Procession Here 

In astronomy, axial precession is a gravity-induced, slow, and continuous change in the orientation of an astronomical body's rotational axis. In particular, it can refer to the gradual shift in the orientation of Earth's axis of rotation in a cycle of approximately 25,772 years.[1]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earth Hemisphere Correlation 1:43,200 scale model.  

Height of the Great Pyramid = 482.757ft. 

If we take the height of the great pyramid and multiply it by 43,200 we get the Earth´s polar radius.

If we measure the base perimeter of the pyramid and again multiply by 43,200 we get the Earth´s equatorial circumference. The Earth wobbles on its axis at a rate of 1 degree every 72 years. If we multiply 72 by 600 we get 43,200.

In a ½ second, a point on the earth at the Equator travels the distance equal to one side of the base of the Great Pyramid.

In 1 second, it travels half the distance of the perimeter, and therefore in 2 seconds, it travels a distance equal to the perimeter.

Bonus: 43200 Miles is the rough measure of the radius of the Sun.

From Russ @SnkBrs: Hey, more on pyramid numbers. 86,400 is the number of seconds in a full 24 hour day. So half of that, or half a day, is 43,200 seconds. 

The GP seems to be a representation of the northern hemisphere of the earth. So half the planet, half the day. Geospatial and temporal harmony. 

Also, on a related wtf note, the diameter of the sun is 864,000 miles. Which is exactly 400 times the diameter of the moon, which is 2,160 miles. Which is the number of years in one precessional age. 

F

Could all this be a coincidence?

 

Timeline and Volume

In France they filled a clay quarry in Essone, France with roughly as much volume as was in the Great Pyramid. It took the dumptrucks 12 years to complete the fill, 1 truck every three minutes. Teothiwacan Pyramid took 150 years.

But the Great Pyramid only took 20-27 years. FUCK OFF.
