Analog sensors?? You mean film?

I thought only light did.
Moiré patterns are often an undesired artifact of images produced by various digital imaging and computer graphics techniques, for example when scanning a halftone picture or ray tracing a checkered plane (the latter being a special case of aliasing, due to undersampling a fine regular pattern).[1] This can be overcome in texture mapping through the use of mipmapping and anisotropic filtering

Seems it's easier saying it than doing it.
The first portable (enough to be carried) camera was invented in 1685. The pyramids were around much longer before that. Each day an average of 30 thousand tourists visit the pyramids.
I hope you don't want me to spell it out for you.. It takes about 10 seconds of using your brain and some knowledge of basic math to realize this photo is a hoax.
Sorry to burst a bubble... and no hard feeling intended. A little waste of your time but curiosity is a good perk at times
PS - I'm far from saying there is nothing interesting or out of the ordinary around the pyramids. Even the average Joe knows thatedit on 28-4-2012 by ch1n1t0 because: (no reason given)

It's clearly a case of Photoshop "moire effects" over an image. It's not even a good example of Photoshop fakery, the perpetrator seems to have had trouble getting the pattern of the moire effect to align vertically.

It's more or less a slight misuse of words - I didn't exactly mean that the photo is an intentional hoax (although it is a possible scenario) rather than there is nothing much to it.
Although I didn't know how the effect in the photo was produced (thanks for the informative explanation btw) I used common sense to realize it's not possible for this to be authentic AND be the only such photo to exist.
And thanks for correcting me regarding the year the camera was invented, got a bit fooled by en.wikipedia.org...edit on 28-4-2012 by ch1n1t0 because: (no reason given)
