Turn on the pyramid...

a reply to: Marduk

Wow. Roughly 1500 years after the pyramids were built? And this is certainly not forged?

I for one, am that guy that would LOVE for them to find some lost technology, or alien sarcophagus in some hidden chamber. But the conversations being had in this thread are embarrassing. I think someone might of left ATS logged in at a middle school.

Im on Marduks side on this one.

"Yes, why weren't more plans of Pharaoh's secret tomb, which was supposed to stay sealed for all eternity, made available, its a mystery..."
are we referring to the pyramid as the pharohs secret tomb?
do we have any speculation as to the nature of coverup during the construction phase?

What do you think the ascending passage was for ?

a reply to: Marduk

thats even better

a reply to: Byrd

Can you read hieroglyphics? We have one of the logbooks of a captain who transported the stone.

Cue the endless debate on whether the Captain and his king were transporting stone blocks to build the pyramid(s) or simply to repair existing structures...

a reply to: Marduk

the ascending passage is blocked with a granite plug and then theres petries granite block on the descending passage.
so the logic seems flawed.
is there any solid evidence to back up this assertion?

maybe it was a platform before it was a pyramid, like baalbek
just putting it out there

You can't take a thread seriously when the OP claims all you need to do is put batteries in the Sarcophagus
Its a joke thread already

Indeed.

Maybe it was always there, well beyond memory and the A.E.'s were just as mystified as the rest of us seem to be..since these things were in their land and awe inspiring, they naturally would prefer to retain the kudos among the rest of the ancient world by maintaining them and attempting to imitate their designs elsewhere in Egypt.

Who knows, but i feel reasonably confident in saying, that we really only have speculation and probabilities regarding their oigin and construction and nothing near conclusive proof, except that they are real, are very old and very complex, and someone built them...apart from that, it's guess work.

I thought the Sarcophagus WAS part of the battery, not have batteries placed within it....Lead plates stacked vertically within, citrus juice poured in and over the plates submerging them, and copper / bronze electrodes encased within wooden poles (for insulation) as an anode and cathode leading from the Sarcophagus (battery box) into the 'air shafts' and out towards the gold encased capstone at the pinnacle...lightning and or static charges from the mildly radioactive granite and generally from the atmosphere could have theorhetically charged the battery.

For what use though...who knows. Electroplating, an awe inspiring light show using electrical arcs, signalling (communications)..could be almost anything, and all of it even if it were true would seem equally fantastic and unlikely to us today...but, we've been surprised by what we've discovered in archaeology before, so we will be again.

Incidentally, the limestone blocks surrounding the 'battery' room, would act as a powerful neutralising agent for battery acid, and acid in general.

Well I'm amazed that they decided to use an Egyptian tomb, in the middle of a Necropolis, with a mortuary temple outside where prayers were said to the dead King to do that. You'd have thought it would be sacred or something and what happened to all the wiring, tomb robbers stole it I suppose...
points for imagination, none for credibility

well i have noticed people saying how conductive certain rock types are, strangely i still dont use rock in my electronics but you did leave yourself wide open with that comment. i went to the pub on the strength of it!

Only they wouldn't have been using a tomb, nor a mortuary temple, or be anywhere near a necropolis.

The battery would probably be like the pyramids themselves, a massive, impressive and awesome spectacle, akin to magic or power from the gods.

The temple may have originally been..what..a control centre? A power distribution room?

The necropolis came later...who wouldn't want to spend eternity at the location of the most awesome and magical structure in the world, that seemed blessed with the literal power of the gods?

Plenty would aspire to such a thing, especially back then.

Some of the 'wiring' is still in situ, right there within the 'air shafts'...you can see it on the Gantenbrink footage..metal (probably copper since the fittings on the false door are also copper or copper alloy) rods inserted through the center of hollowed out wooden poles. The wood could have served as insulation, much like our cables have today.

As a matter of interest, here in the UK, as with many ancient and still mostly mysterious sites around the world, Human beings still have a tendancy to use these little understood monuments for our own purposes and more than likely a use not at all for which they were originally built.

Stonehenge was probably never built and designed to be a draw for New Agers and hippies to gather and chant around at the Summer Solstice...but it attracts many thousands every year..this doesn't mean stonehenge was built so generations of hippies could hug the stones, just as ancient Egyptians discovered, venerated, maintained and used the great Pyramids of Giza for their own purposes as they saw fit...IMO of course, i've no more proof of this, than academia has for them being originally designed to be tombs, regardless of whether they were used as such later on.

If you have a clock or a watch...you probably do use rock in your electronics.

Quartz is a rock and it is used to regulate timepieces and electronic firings due to it's natural piezo electric properties.

i see where you are going and i kind of sympathise but you must be able to discern a/c d/c , sources and earth.
the sarcophagus can never be any component of a battery at atmospheric conditions.
however the structure is theoretically able to generate static charge, massive amounts, but any granite extrusion can do the same, if it wants to be a lightning conductor

originally posted by: MysterX, i've no more proof of this, than academia has for them being originally designed to be tombs,

so you have overwhelming proof supported by hundreds of years of excavations, thousands of artifacts and the agreement of tens of thousands of qualified experts along with attestations written onto the blocks by the Egyptians themselves
Because I thought you were just a clueless pyramidiot
Lets see it then, this stuff you've got, can you start by showing how the hundreds of radiocarbon dates that support a build during the reign of Khufu are wrong (and can you do that without resorting to a creationist website)

a reply to: Marduk

yeah, but ive ppicked up your trolling habits. its the most productive approach to this site.
i read the entire baalbek thread and i think it damaged my mind

and much as it pains me to admit in this sphere you have to respect the years of toil that archeaologists put in, its their larger conclusions you must question, not their findings

a reply to: MysterX

also i would not disabuse the concept of arc lights, simple they are, two rods of carbon, but it takes a high votage to go, thats the clincher
