It is a tragic fact that, because of humanity’s ignorance in the past, a great quantity of knowledge preserved by the Pyramid has already been lost. In the fifth century B.C.E., the Greek historian Herodotus, while a student of the Egyptian Mysteries at the great school of Ani (Heliopolis), situated within sight of the Giza monuments, reported that inscriptions of strange characters were to be found on the Pyramid’s outer surfaces. He wrote: “It is of polished stone, and figures are engraved thereon.” The Coptic Al Masudi, in the tenth century A.D., remarked: “Of the Pyramids, their surfaces exhibit all kinds of inscriptions written in the characters of ancient nations which no longer exist. No one knows what this writing is or what it signifies. These inscriptions relate to the sciences, to the properties of bodies, to magic and the secrets of nature.”

Two centuries later, in 1179, the Arab historian Abdul Latif recorded that: “The stones were inscribed with ancient characters, now unintelligible. I never met with a person in all Egypt who understood them. The inscriptions are so numerous that copies of those alone which may be seen upon the surfaces of the two Pyramids would occupy about six thousand pages.” Ibn Abd Alhokim preserved the ancient legend that, “the builders of the pyramids engraved upon them all things that were told him by his wise men, all profound science.”

Qodai-Andalusi noted further: “We examined the faces of these pyramids. They are crossed by longitudinal lines forming narrow parallel bands completely covered with writing that, though it is clearly visible, no one now knows how to read; its meaning is no longer understood.”

At the end of the Maqrizi’s chapter on the Pyramids, the chronicler copied a poem composed by Fakhr ed-din el Wahab el Masri, written in 1257, which includes these words about the mysterious inscriptions: “There are carved upon their faces a knowledge that the mind endeavors to grasp. A maddening desire to comprehend their message surges in the heart of the beholder.”

Maqrizi himself, from the next century, also having access to ancient sources, revealed: “On every possible surface of the pyramids was written all the knowledge possessed by the Egyptians, and there the constellations were drawn, and there were inscribed the names of drugs and the useful and harmful properties, the signs of talismans, of mathematics, of architecture—in short, all the branches of learning—and all this was shown clearly for those who are acquainted with their writing and understood their language. On each face of the pyramids too were depicted figures carrying out all sorts of tasks and grouped according to their importance and rank. These representations were accompanied by a description of the trades, of the tools necessary for them, and of all the information concerning them. No branch of learning was omitted; all were accounted for, in writing and drawing.”

The Arab manuscripts of Ibn Khurradhbih and Tohfat likewise spoke of the Great Pyramid conveying knowledge of both history and astronomy, not only on its outer surfaces, but also in its measurements. Finally, in the early fourteenth century, two European chroniclers who traveled to Egypt took note of the same sight. William of Baldensel told how the outer casing stones of the Pyramid were covered with strange symbols arranged in careful rows, and Maundeville, writing in 1330, described how, “above the corners without were many inscriptions of diverse language. Some men say they were written by the Great Lords of long ago.”

In 1356, after an earthquake leveled Cairo, the Arabs robbed the Pyramid of almost all of its casing stones, and rebuilt their mosques and fortresses with them. So that the words and images of a foreign and “pagan” culture should not defile their holy places or worship or abode, the Arabs made sure to remove all traces of the writing and engravings from the stone facings, as they cut them into smaller pieces, and reshaped them for their own architectural purposes.

The fact that the Great Pyramid was constructed with accuracies measured to the hundredths of an inch testifies to its builders having possessed an advanced knowledge of mathematics.

There are indications, too, that in the Pyramid’s design itself were purposely hidden secret numbers and dimensions for the students of later civilizations to study and ponder.

In the second century B.C.E., the Greek grammarian, Agatharchides of Cnidus, recorded that the Egyptian priests of his day knew many mathematical formulae, based on the observations of the Pyramid structure. One of the most obvious can be found by dividing the perimeter of the Pyramid base by twice its height, which produces the number 3.1428. This is not the exact value of pi, as has so often been claimed, but rather is a value closer to twenty-two sevenths, which is the working approximation of pi, that is more highly symbolic of the laws and motions of the sacred geometry of the Universe at large. This, too, is the value most often used by engineers in construction design.

Another Greek, Herodotus, wrote that the area of a face of the Great Pyramid is the same as the square of its vertical height. The square of the vertical height is also the same as one-half the Pyramid’s base width times its slant height. For this to be true, however, it means the Pyramid’s design must be in accordance with phi, also called the Golden Number of Fibonacci, or the proportion of 1 to 1.62. Elmer D. Robinson, a John Hopkins mathematician who was the leading expert in the calculation of Golden Number fractions, studied the Great Pyramid in depth, and concluded:

“The analysis and mathematical modeling of the Great Pyramid indicates that the ancient Egyptians had a knowledge of geometry and mathematics which few historians and archaeologists will give them credit for. The evidence is strong that they knew of and used quadratic equations and the quadratic formula. It indicates an extensive use of the golden number and functions of the golden series. If this is the case, then they most certainly had a system of logarithms, used combinations of integers with an irrational number, used an infinite geometrical progression having many unique properties, and could have known of simple rules for serial summations.”

This is a level of mathematical knowledge, it should be noted, on par with our own abilities only within the last two centuries. If this is what can be surmised from what is plainly visible on the outside of the Pyramid, what mathematical formulae still are hidden away in its secret chambers?

Mathematics is an integral part of astronomy, the science of observing the heavens, which in turn is vital to calculations of the length of the year and the creation of an accurate calendral system. One of the most precisely constructed passages in the Great Pyramid is the Descending Passage where, within 150 feet of the entrance, the line deviates from perfect straightness by only one one-hundredth of an inch. Before the turn of the century, British astronomer Richard A. Proctor developed the concept that the Descending Passage had been designed as part of an astronomical observatory for watching and clocking the stars. The Passage point into the northern sky at an angle of 26 degrees 17 minutes which, when subtracted from the Pyramid’s latitudinal angle of nearly 30 degrees, focuses observation to within 3 degrees 43 minutes of the celestial pole—a perfect angle, Proctor noted, for watching the transit of circumpolar stars across the entrance opening.

Proctor also discovered that the Ascending Passage angles off from the Descending Passage very close to the same degree, which would be the angle for light reflection. If light of a transiting star shone onto a pool of water or mirror at the juncture point of the Descending and Ascending Passages, the light would be reflected up the Ascending Passage and observed in the Grand Gallery. Today, the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C. calculates the length of the year by timing the light of a transiting star across a limited field of vision as it is reflected off a pool of mercury.

Taking this a step further, the Pyramid astronomers could have placed a prism at the juncture point of the Passages. The result would have been the light of the stars being broken into spectrographic colors, and projected against the walls of the Grand Gallery. These Gallery walls are corbelled in bands—and the bands could have been used to measure the light emission patterns of the stars.

The problem is, the science of spectrography was not supposed to have been fully understood and developed until the twentieth century. It is noteworthy in these respects that a prism shaped with the same angles as the Pyramid will reflect light at an angle of 26.5 degrees—very close to the degree slant seen exhibited in the Descending and Ascending Passages.

To measure the size of our planet, and to chart its surface with great accuracy, is an ability exclusive to the most sophisticated cultures, because it requires a working knowledge of such mathematics as spherical trigonometry, and the accomplishment of a mapping survey of truly global proportions. We find precisely this kind of knowledge associated with the Great Pyramid.

The first are of evidence is in the Pyramid’s outer and inner measurements. The Pyramid’s perimeter—the sum of its base lengths—is 3,023.13 feet, which is precisely equal to one-half minute of a degree of latitude at the Equator, or one forty-three thousand two-hundredths of the polar circumference of the Earth. It is also off by only 15.6 feet from the current estimate for a minute of latitude at 30 degrees, where the structure is located.

Extending just beyond each of the Pyramid’s corners is a rectangular shallow impression incised 8 inches into the surface, called a socket. Only the Great Pyramid of all the pyramids in Egypt has these peculiar markings. By measuring a second perimeter as reckoned by the outside corners of the Pyramid sockets, we arrive at a length of 3,043.7 feet, or one forty-three thousand two-hundredths of the Equatorial circumference of the Earth, which is also precisely equal to one-half minute of a degree of longitude at the Equator.

The height of the Pyramid, plus the height of its base platform, is 482.7571 feet, and this equals one forty-three thousand two-hundredths of the polar radius of the Earth, or the distance from the Earth’s center to the North Pole.

What we have represented here in these three lengths are, in essence, the three key measurements from which the Earth’s size and shape can be calculated—including the degree of Equatorial bulge and polar flatness—to a precision matched only by today’s satellite measurements.

As researcher and author William R. Fix noted about these measures:

“These are well founded objective data. They constitute the first conclusive evidence of a scientific civilization as high as our own in deep antiquity. Any careful survey of the Pyramid will reveal substantially the same values reported. These three basic measurements of the Pyramid, all on the same scale, match the three key geodetic values of our planet so precisely that it is simply absurd to suppose they are not the result of intentional design. These measurements mean that whoever built the Pyramid had measured the Earth precisely. We do not know how they measured it, but they did so is now an article of knowledge.”

There are discoveries, too, which indicate that portions of the interior design of the Great Pyramid were based on a system of measurement superior to either the modern inch or meter. When the metric system was developed in France at the end of the eighteenth century, the basic unit, the meter, was taken to represent one ten-millionth the distance from the Pole to the Equator, as measured on the Earth’s surface. However, only in the last few decades of the last century was it discovered that the Earth is not a true sphere, but contains many bumps and bulges, so that the meter is in reality only an approximation, and can never be a true standard of Earth measurement.

Back in 1795, when the metric system was being debated, French mathematician Collet had argued in favor of adopting a system of measure which took one ten-millionth of the direct distance between the Equator and the Pole—the polar radius—as its standard unit. The polar radius has remained relatively constant through thousands of years, and is far easier to determine than surface distances. Though never instituted, Collet’s system is, according to modern mensuration experts, the most scientific and logical system yet proposed.

The Collet unit, as one ten-millionth of the polar radius, equals 25.0265 British inches. It so happens that this unit, correct to four decimal places, is found enshrined within the Great Pyramid in three locations--in the Grand Gallery, in the Queen’s Chamber and in the Antechamber. Not only this, but a measure of exactly one twenty-fifth of the unit, or 1.00106 British inches, is also utilized in four other Pyramid locations, all in the Antechamber. Clearly, the use of the Collet unit and its fractions point to the Pyramid builders knowing the precise length of the polar radius of the Earth--which assumes a knowledge of the size of the rest of the planet as well.

The Pyramid builders were not only aware of the Earth’s dimensions, but also the geography of its surface, as testified to by the Pyramid’s location. Charles Piazzi Smyth, the Scottish astronomer who carried out extensive surveys at Giza toward the end of the nineteenth century, was the first to theorize that the Great Pyramid was placed precisely at the geographical center of the Earth’s land masses. His theory, unfortunately, has been taken as verified fact by most Pyramid researchers, and it is still being repeated in many books on the subject even today. The fact is, the Pyramid is not the geographical center of land, nor could it have ever remained as such, for reasons which the builders were probably aware.

In the 1970’s, Andrew J. Woods, a physicist with Gulf Energy and Environmental Sciences in San Diego, performed a detailed computer analysis on locating the exact geographical center of the Earth. The analysis was made using the following procedure:

1) Divide all the Earth’s land areas into small, equal unit areas, 2) select on of these unit areas as a possible location of the Earth’s center, 3) measure the distance along the Earth’s surface from this reference area to each of the other unit areas all over the Earth, 4) add up all these distances and divide the total by the number of individual distances measured. The result is the average distance from the reference area to all the other unit areas around the world. Then, 5) repeat this entire process for each one of all the other unit areas around the world, and 6) compare the average distances so calculated for all the different unit areas. The one for which the average distance turns out to be the smallest is the Earth’s geographical center.

The result, once the computer processed all the data, showed that the geographical center of the world’s land masses is located at latitude 39 degrees north and longitude 34 degrees east—near modern Ankara, Turkey. This point has the least average distance from any other land point, or 4,597 miles. The Great Pyramid, on the other hand, has an average distance of 4,619 miles.

However, Woods took his computer analysis several steps further, and determined what the geographical center of the Earth would be if the ocean levels of the world were raised or lowered. If the ocean waters dropped 230 feet, for example, the geographical center would shift to 41 degrees north and 35 degrees east. With the waters rising above present levels by 230 feet, the center would move to latitude 34 degrees north and 38 degrees east.

What this means is the geographical center of land is not constant or stable, but can change dramatically as the ocean levels change. The Pyramid builders, whose intention was to construct a monument that would last for thousands of years, must have been aware of the destructive forces within and without the Earth that can alter its surface over that length of time. To have chosen a geographical center in their day as a building site for the Pyramid would not mean that site would be the geographical center in a later age--and because of this, the message of the Pyramid’s advanced knowledge about the Earth might be overlooked. So it was, it is apparent, the Pyramid builders decided on another more stable center marker to construct their monument.

If we look at a map of the world, we find that the one latitudinal line which makes contact with the most land of any other degree is latitude 30 degrees north. The one longitudinal line which makes contact with the most land of any other degree is longitude 30 degrees east. What is significant is that, even if the world’s oceans were to rise or fall several hundred feet, these lines would remain relatively the same to within one degree. And what do we find almost exactly where these two lines cross? The Great Pyramid.

The precise coordinates for the Great Pyramid are latitude 29 degrees 50 minutes and 51 seconds north, and longitude 31 degrees 9 minutes and 0 seconds east. To have been able to place the Pyramid at this unique center means that the builders must have had a highly accurate knowledge of the geography of the entire world, and to have at one time mapped its surface, from one corner to the other.

Even the slight displacement of the monument off from the perfect 30 degrees/ 30 degrees cross point now appears to have its own purpose. As researcher and author Graham Hancock noted:

“To take account of the refraction of the atmosphere would have necessitated the building standing not at 30 degrees but at 29 degrees 58 minutes and 22 seconds. Compared to the true position, this was an error of less than half an arc minute, suggesting that the surveying and geodetic skills brought to bear here must have been of the highest order.”

There is ample evidence that a world mapping survey once took place in remote antiquity, a survey that can be directly tied to the Great Pyramid. There are several Renaissance maps which modern experts consider to be too perfect. They are too perfect because they show an accuracy of latitude and longitude measurements far better than what could have been accomplished by the navigators and cartographers of the time, with the crude instruments they employed. One of these maps, which undergone considerable study, is the Piri Re’is map of 1513.

Piris Re’is was a Turkish admiral, and in the margins of his map he explained that he made his chart as a composite of twenty-two ancient charts, many of them dating at least back into classical Greek times, which were copies themselves of maps going back even farther. What is amazing is the Piri Re’is map shows Spain, North Africa, the Caribbean, Central and South America in their correct positions with an average precision to within half a degree. Not only this, but the map accurately depicts several areas—such as the Falkland Islands, and the Andes mountains along the west coast of the South American continent—which no European or Mideast explorer had yet visited or charted in 1513. This would indicate that whoever had made the original maps Piri Re’is copied from, had a far better knowledge of the Western Hemisphere than did the peoples of the sixteenth century.

One of the most curious features of the Piri Re’is map is that it portrays Central America and the Caribbean islands at right angles from their usual (Mercator) positions, and South America appears stretched out. Researcher and cartographer Charles Hapgood discovered the reason for this is that the original source maps Piri Re’is used were constructed utilizing a circular grid system. The Hydrographic Office of the U.S. Navy made a map using the same grid, and in such a construction Central America and the Caribbean are indeed at right angles and South America is elongated, because they are situated at the outer edges of the circular grid, and therefore appear slightly distorted. Amazingly, they also found that the center of the circular grid is situated at the Great Pyramid.

Another Renaissance map, the Portugese Reinal chart of 1510, was also based on a circular projection, and it shows portions of the African east coast, Arabia, India, the islands of the Indian Ocean—and the Caroline Islands and western Australia, both of which were not discovered by Europeans until a century after the Reinal chart was made. Once again, the center of the circular grid for this chart is located at the Great Pyramid.

What both the Piri Re’is and Reinal maps indicate is that someone long ago had the ability to map almost the entire surface of the Earth, employing measuring techniques and map projections not developed by our civilization until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and using the Great Pyramid as a prime geodetic point—that is, a reference point by which a measuring survey was conducted of the major land areas, and corrections made to compensate for the curvature of the Earth.

The fact that we find the Great Pyramid at the center of these ancient maps, and can discern the essential measurements of the Earth incorporated into the dimensions of the Pyramid itself, strongly suggests that the mysterious authors of both maps and monument were one and the same.

Beginning in the summer of 1967 one of the most unique experiments in modern archaeology took place at Giza under the joint direction of Dr. Luis W. Alvarez, professor of physics at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory of the University of California, and Drs. F. E. Bedewi and Amr Gohed, representing the department of physics at Ein Shams University in Cairo.

The object of the experiment was to measure the amount of muons or mu masons (cosmic rays) passing through the Second Pyramid at Giza, in order to determine the presence of hidden chambers. Unlike the Great Pyramid, as yet there have been no chambers discovered in the upper portion of the Second Pyramid, though archaeologists have always suspected they may one day be found.

The Earth and everything on it is constantly being bombarded by muons from space. One muon particle, for example, passes through your hand every second, while a hundred others sweep through the rest of your body in the same period of time. Even a mass of limestone as large as a Pyramid cannot stop some muons. However, the less limestone is present, the more muons are allowed through, and by counting the particles which do manage to reach the Pyramid’s base, Dr. Alvarez and his team hoped to determine if unknown “empty spaces” or chambers possibly exist.

The detection equipment, totaling over 45 tons in weight, took several weeks to install in the Belzoni Chamber situated ideally at the center of the foundation inside the Second Pyramid. The most important part of the apparatus consisted of two spark chambers, each an inch thick, 3 feet wide and 6 feet wide, and filled with neon gas in which a passing muon causes a spark path.

The two chambers were placed about a foot apart from each other, and when a muon went through both, a mass of sensitive electronic equipment determined the angle of passage and the direction from which the particle came. This was to enable the scientists to detect any hidden chamber and pinpoint its location within a few yards. Each muon track was electronically registered and stored on magnetic tape.

The experimenters decided to rotate the detectors so that they could scan the rock above in an area of a 35 degree cone--that portion of the Second Pyramid considered likely to hold a hidden room. For over a year, until September of 1968, the detectors were turned on day and night, and registered two million separate tracks. Finally, the magnetic tapes which had recorded all the data were fed into an IBM 1120 computer at Ein Shams University. The result, it was hoped, would be a three-dimensional picture of the section of the Second Pyramid scanned, distinctly showing areas of higher muon concentration, indicating the presence of chambers.

At first, everything looked promising, for the initial recordings showed the shape and edges of the Second Pyramid’s outer surfaces. But then, suddenly, the readings starting going haywire. The basic premise of the experiment had been that, if any fixed geometric shape (as a chamber or room should be) is measured and re-measured from several angles, each measurement should remain the same every time. What the computer pictured, however, was something totally unexpected. In effect, the readings were difference from day to day, almost as if some mysterious force in the depths inside the Pyramid had been constantly changing, operating as an internal defense mechanism allowing no fixed pattern of muons to emerge.

It was eventually determined that the muons had been registering all right, for all the equipment was checked and rechecked, and found to work perfectly. But there was heavy interference from an unknown radiation source from within the Pyramid itself. A member of the Egyptian team of experts, Dr. Gohed, in an interview with correspondent John Tunstall of the London Times for July 16, 1969, could only state:

“This is scientifically impossible. There is a mystery here beyond explanation. Call it what you will—occultism, the curse of the Pharaohs, sorcery or magic—there is some force here that defies the laws of science at work in the pyramid.”

Soon afterward the experimenters—perhaps more for the reason of justifying the expense of millions of dollars of man-hours of work—announced their conclusion that the Second Pyramid contained no hidden chambers. The experiment itself, however, never proved anything one way or the other—only that the pyramids possess powers of their own for screening against detection by radiation of its hidden secrets, powers we cannot even begin to guess at.

The Great Pyramid has been the scene of other unusual energy experiments which point to mysterious powers at work. Some years before the turn of the last century, the renowned British scientist Sir William Siemens traveled to Egypt to see the Pyramid, and climbed up to the very top of the monument with a native Egyptian guide. Upon reaching the small platform at the summit where the capstone once was located, the guide called his attention to the curious fact that whenever he raised his hands with his fingers outstretched, he could hear a ringing sound in his ears. Siemens followed the guide’s example, but instead of hearing anything, he felt a distinct prickling sensation.

Guessing that there was something electrical about what was happening, he quickly took a newspaper he had brought with him, moistened it with the contents of a wine bottle, then wrapped the newspaper around the empty bottle. In this way he made a Leyden Jar, a simple device which accumulates electrical energy. By holding the bottle over his head, he found it became increasingly charged, to the point that sparks began to issue from it.

Siemens’ guide, who knew nothing about electricity, accused his tourist companion of witchcraft, and attempted to seize Siemens by the arm. At that instant, Siemens lowered his spark-shooting bottle toward him, and it gave the guide such a shock that he was thrown down on the platform, stunned.

Upon recovering, the guide scrambled off down the Pyramid, never to be seen again. Siemens concluded that for some reason the Pyramid was giving off a tremendous flow of electrical current. How and why, however, he could not answer.

In the spring of 1979, California dowser and pyramid researcher Bill Cox tried to duplicate Siemens’ experiment atop the Pyramid, but without success. He reasoned that the energies were not active constantly, but must be influenced by a number of variables, including atmospheric conditions, humidity, time of day, solar, lunar and other cosmic influences, and even the type of clothing and metal objects a person wore.

The first of these variables—atmospheric conditions—is perhaps the most important. It has been pointed out that the voltage gradient of the air at Giza is about 160 volts per meter, and a person standing on the top of the Great Pyramid, with raised hands, creates a potential of almost 14,000 volts. In humid weather, no effect would be noticed--but on an unusually dry day, a spark could be created that might prove to be a truly “shocking” experience.

One interesting alternative source of information comes from an area of research into what is termed “pyramid energy.” In the 1920’s, a Frenchman named Antoine Bovis visited the Great Pyramid, and on a particularly bright day, entered the interior to escape the sun. While in the King’s Chamber, he observed something very peculiar. The Chamber contained the bodies of rats, mice and a cat which had wandered into the Pyramid, became lost and died. What amazed Bovis is that, despite the heat and high humidity inside the Chamber, the bodies of the animals had not decayed but instead were “mummified”—that is, they were completely desiccated.

Thinking there might be some relation between this phenomena and the position of the King’s Chamber in the Pyramid, Bovis, after returning home, constructed a 2.5 foot scale model of the Pyramid and placed a dead cat inside, at the level of the King’s Chamber, or one-third distance up from the base.

The Frenchman also remembered that the Pyramid is also perfectly aligned to true north, so he oriented his model accordingly. The result was the same he had observed in the Pyramid—the cat corpse did not decay, but dried out and was completely preserved.

Bovis’ initial experiments were repeated by researchers in Czechoslovakia, and spurred by their successes, pyramid research took toot in the United States in the late 1960’s, and has been going on ever since among a select few experimenters.

Proponents of this study claim there is something special about the pyramid form, that various nonliving and living objects placed within the pyramid models are significantly affected in unusual ways. The molecular structure and characteristics of water are altered, dull razor blades are retargeted, foods are preserved without spoiling, plants grow faster and healthier, sick animals become well, and people find better rest and experience increased perceptions—to name just a few of the phenomena observed and documented.

What is perhaps most mystifying is that these occurrences have little to do with what the pyramid model is made of, but rather the pyramid’s shape. Researchers generally agree that the pyramid shape somehow aids in focusing some form of energy—as yet not fully identified—that acts upon materials inside it in peculiar ways.

This unknown energy also does not operate uniformly inside the pyramid—there are only specific areas of high concentration, where the pyramid phenomena works the best. One area, as Bovis originally discovered, is one-third up from the base. A second area is just below the apex. A third is at the center of the base. And area four is located at a distance below the center of the pyramid’s base.

Now the fact that the King’s Chamber is situated precisely at the one-third level of energy concentration suggests that whoever constructed the Great Pyramid knew about pyramid energy and its effects, and built the King’s Chamber to utilize it in some way. If this is true, then did the same architect also build chambers in the Pyramid yet undiscovered, corresponding to the other energy concentration points?

Forgotten energies may not only be rediscovered in the Pyramid, but they may be employed themselves in the detection of lost chambers, through the modern use of dowsing, also called radishes and radionics, a form of remote sensing that opens communications between the biofield of the body and the energy fields of surrounding objects, seen and unseen.

In the spring of 1979 and 1980, while on expeditions to the Giza area, dowsing expert Bill Cox located what he believed to be a tunnel that interconnects the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx nearby. Using a specialized instrument called an aurameter, Cox made five separate dowsing checks indicating the presence of the tunnel, plus adjacent “cavities” or side chambers, all of which are now blocked with sand and water that have accumulated over the centuries. He also located a possible chamber in the Pyramid’s northwest corner, and a chamber just below the apex that is 11 feet square and is displaced from the center toward the northwest.

From 1964 to 1987, Dr. Kahlil Messiha, an archaeologist and a Cairo-based expert in the diagnostic use of radionic devices, performed a continuous survey of both the inner and outer areas of the Great Pyramid in an effort to map out in detail its energy patterns.

He detected what he believed to be a hidden entrance to a tunnel leading from the northwest corner of the Queen’s Chamber downward to an as yet unknown chamber at the base level of the Pyramid. Dr. Messiha was able to drive an thin wire behind one of the covering stones, and confirmed that a hollow space exists. Before his death in 1987, Dr. Messiha was firmly convinced this doorway will penetrate into the true mysteries of the monument, though he predicted this will happen only beyond the year 2000.

Researchers in the enigmatic field of pyramid energy have discovered further that a pyramid form with slightly indented or concave sides causes the incoming energy to be thrown off a straight line, and upon striking the sides, is not deflected out again, but remains within and accumulates.

One of the foci of accumulation, interestingly, is not anywhere on the core line extending down from the pyramid’s apex, but is in the area slightly off center from the core line. One of the features which makes the Great Pyramid unique from most other pyramid monuments is that its faces are slightly indented. It should come as no surprise, then, to find that the King’s Chamber in the Pyramid is not situated directly below the apex, but is in fact several feet off center from the apex.

There are several peculiar features about the King’s Chamber which support the theory that it was a focal point for various forms of energy, known and unknown. The Chamber is unlike any of the other major chambers in the Pyramid. Its floor, ceiling and walls are made of massive blocks of red Aswan granite. This granite contains one of the highest percentages of microscopic quartz crystals of any igneous rock, about 55 percent. This—along with the mica and feldspar content—has the property of producing what is called a piezoelectric field when subjected to pressure. The ancient Egyptians seem to have understood this special electrical property, for they called granite the “spirit rock.” Significantly, the granite blocks in the King’s Chamber are strained under the tremendous weight of 300 feet of masonry pressing down from above. The result is the entire Chamber is still, even today, generating a weak measurable field.

Dr. R. U. Sierra of the Puerto Rica Scientific Research Laboratory discovered that a magnetometer in the King’s Chamber will register 1 gauss in the northeast corner, 1 to 2 gauss over the Stone Box, and up to 3 gauss near the air passages. The normal background geomagnetic field strength is only 0.5 gauss.

Throughout the centuries there have been numerous reports of visitors to the Chamber having witnessed strange phenomena within—phantom lights, music, distant voices, and the appearance of astral beings. Napoleon Bonaparte, during his military and scientific expedition to Egypt at the end of the eighteenth century, was reported by his generals to have spent time alone in the King’s Chamber, and when he finally emerged he looked dazed and pale.

But he never revealed what he experienced, saying only, “You would not believe me if I told you.” It has been suggested that the energy field in the Chamber reacts with the electrical field produced by the brain, allowing the affected individual to be sensitive to phenomena associated with higher levels of vibration.

The Chamber’s energy field does not appear to be active to its full potential continuously. The piezoelectric producing quartz in the granite blocks is also sensitive to changes in barometric pressure. Because of the heating of the Pyramid’s outer stones during the day and their rapid cooling at night, significant air pressure changes would have occurred along the air shafts to the King’s Chamber, and ultimately to the Chamber itself. This means that the moments of greatest electrical activity within the King’s Chamber would have been just after sunset and just before dawn.

Above the ceiling of the King’s Chamber are rows of granite blocks alternating with air spaces, stacked in a vertical column. It has been suggested this superstructure was built to help support the ceiling of the King’s Chamber from the crushing weight of masonry above it. But it may have served other purposes as well.

A number of Pyramid researchers have noted that the configuration of alternating layers of air and stone would have made an excellent capacitor—a device which aids in the production and storage of an electrical charge. Based on the distance of the air space dielectrics, over 90,000,000 volts would have been required for the King’s Chamber to be affected by a dielectric capacitance, based on a 25 percent spark level.

It is a well known fact that the Great Pyramid often has been struck by lightning in its long history, which is not surprising since it is one of the highest points for miles around. One proposal has it that the air shafts leading to the King’s Chamber may have once contained copper rods or wire which transmitted the tremendous electrostatic energy from a bolt of lightning to the inside, charging up the system to its fullest potential.

Another theory explains the ceiling superstructure as an energy modifying pile, acting as a rectifier and filtering system for a beam of energy coming in from above. The system may have induced a half-wave flow downward through the Chamber, and prevented a rebound or reversal effect. The granite beams may also have served as a series of lenses, focusing the energy to a specific spot.

That spot appears to have been the mysterious Stone Box, itself made out of quartz-filled granite. Not long ago the Box was raised on one corner, and when struck hard it rang like a low-pitched bell. The Box thus has its own vibratory frequency—a frequency which may have been activated when the energy flow was aimed at it from above. The Box was probably also proportionally attuned to the vibratory frequency of the Chamber, since the sum of the length, width and height of the Box is exactly one-fifth the sum of the length, width and height of the Chamber.

What secret purpose the Stone Box had, however, is still a mystery. It was certainly designed to hold something—or someone—to be energized or transformed through the process of being bombarded by electrical or other unknown energy radiations. Is it any coincidence that, when comparing the dimensions of the Hebrew Ark of the Covenant—designed and built by Moses who had been a High Priest of Heliopolis before the Exodus—that the Ark would have fit perfectly into the Box?

It is in the King’s Chamber we come face to face with the workings of a science and technology we can only begin to imagine, yet which was once understood in great detail by the Ancients. Perhaps an as yet undiscovered chamber nearby to the King’s Chamber may one day explain and teach us the true wonders of the Pyramid’s energy apparatus.

It is interesting that history, legends and psychic information at times do not always agree on every detail surrounding the monuments of Giza—at least, on the surface. One case in point is the question of the pyramidion or capstone of the Great Pyramid.

Today, about 33.3 feet or roughly the last eleven tiers of the top of the Pyramid are missing. Historians, relying on precedence, believe the Great Pyramid was capped by a stone apex, probably similar to one found at Dashur not long ago. It was made of black granite, with incised gold hieroglyphs and a winged solar disk, and had sat atop the pyramid of Pharaoh Amenemnat III, of the Twelfth Dynasty.

Agatharchides of Cnidus, who lived and taught in Alexandria in the second century B.C.E., recorded that the Giza monument had a capstone of unspecified material which measured four cubits in height. Its precise measurement was such that it could be included or excluded from various mathematical formulae preserved in the Pyramid’s dimensions, depending on the formula and how it was used.

Coptic and Arabic traditions also speak of the Pyramid capstone, only one composed of a glowing crystal which in a mysterious manner kept the Giza area continually green and fertile--until the crystal was removed, and the land surrounding the Pyramid turned to desert.

Some psychics disagree, however, describing the capstone as being composed of copper, or copper and gold alloy, or silver-gold, or other precious materials. Other channels insist the Pyramid never had a capstone to begin with, but was purposely designed without one.

Some of the confusion may have resulted from the fact that different capstones may have been placed atop the Pyramid at different times, each stone or material giving the structure new energy characteristics.

Today, there is the real possibility that a capstone is present even now, but we cannot see it because it is of a special higher vibration, or in another dimension.

Pyramid researcher Bill Cox related this incident he experienced in the spring of 1979, while standing on the Pyramid’s apex platform:

“Atop the Great Pyramid at night, I intoned the note ’C’ on my pitch-pipe My personal guide who had made the climb uncountable times with tourists through the years, was taken aback by the startling resonance produced by the rather subdued tonal thrust of my tiny pitch-pipe. He said he had never encountered this experience before. Both of us agreed the musical tones rang back as though there were invisible but very real walls enclosing the missing pyramidion. The presumed missing capstone has been there in its invisible state all the time, only beheld by adepts, certain masters and higher initiates who can see into this lofty vault and interpret the knowledge and wisdom enclosed there.”

That the capstone, whether physical or etheric, was and important part of the Great Pyramid is brought home in this noteworthy quotation, taken from the ancient Hermetic Fragments, Part V:

“Beneath nature, and the ideal world is placed the pyramid. Its corner stone, placed on its summit, is the Creative Word of the universal Lord, which, after Him, is the first Power, uncreate, infinite, begotten of Him, and the antecedent to all His Creation.”

According to design draftsman Joseph Edward Batter, many of the key measurements of the Great Pyramid are based on harmonic fractions of the Astronomical Unit--the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun. When he converted the AU to feet and multiplied the result by 33, the equivalent is very close to the number for Phi, or 1.618.

After examining in great detail the slope angles of quartz crystal and the right angle triangles derived fro Pi and Phi, Batter discovered their common basic hypotenuse angle of 51 degrees 47.2 minutes, which also happens to be the slope angle for the Great Pyramid.

Batter likewise calculated that the perpendicular angle for the Pyramid was not 90 degrees but approximately 89 degrees 56 minutes, and that this curiosity has added to the structure’s longevity. While all other pyramids were built with the plumb-bob method and deteriorated over time as earthquakes loosened their stonework, the masonry stones of the Great Pyramid slope 4 minutes of a degree down toward the center, so that earthquakes actually tend to tighten its joints, preserving the integrity of the overall construction.

In 1962, Walt Richmond—a research physicist, electronics engineer, chemist and biochemist—began studying aspects of atmospheric electricity, and developed a concept he called the Solar Tap.

In general the idea of a Solar Tap is that it would involve one or several installations located at selected locations, each about the size of a modern hydroelectric plant, yet which could produce far more electrical power than many times over what the world can produce today.

Richmond observed that a tremendous electrical potential exists between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere circling the planet. The Earth and ionosphere form a sphere-in-sphere capacitor which is constantly being fed by the energies of the Solar Wind, and the dense part of the atmosphere is the dielectric between them.

The purpose of Richmond’s special “installation” would be to “short out” this natural capacitor and thus “tap” this tremendous energy potential.

As Richmond further noted, such a system is so simple yet in concept it is so sophisticated that its builders would have had to reach a knowledge capable of grasping principles of the laser and nuclear power.

The real significance of this was not fully appreciated until the physicist began designing his actual “installation” for tapping into the atmospheric and Solar Wind energies. When he was finished, he had before him plans which point for point looked identical to the Great Pyramid.

Nearly everything Richmond anticipated the Pyramid already duplicated. The insulator would be a slightly truncated pyramid form, the proportions about the same as the Great Pyramid. The stone construction would act to insulate the electric current from the ground. On top of the installation would be a flat platform—just as the Great Pyramid now has—where a laser system would be located, a light beam system hat would switch on and off in a millisecond, producing a surge of power each time. The energy collector, transformer and control mechanisms would also be found on top of the installation.

Inside, the installation would be located the control station, reached through angled tunnels just as the Great Pyramid contains, with resonance chambers along the tunnels to act like a silencer on a gun, to protect personnel from the constant pulse of the energy Tap and the short wave effects from any electrical over-surges. And there would also be a deep well situated in the installation’s base, acting as an electrical ground—precisely where the Great Pyramid’s Well Shaft connected with the Pit Chamber is today, in its base.

Richmond had even further planned that more energy could be obtained if the central Tap was accompanied by a number of secondary laser installations that could create a series of laser bursts into the ionosphere in a “Jacob’s Ladder” configuration. We find the Great Pyramid surrounded by several subsidiary pyramids in precisely the same manner. In fact, all major pyramid structures existing around the world—the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon near Mexico City, the Shensi Pyramids of China, the pyramidal structures in the Pacific, to name only a few—are all surrounded by minor pyramids or pyramid-like temples. Many of the world pyramids, Richmond surmised, either acted as Solar Taps like the Great Pyramid, or were receiving relay stations to which the energies were broadcast or transmitted.

Richmond estimated that even one single Tap system could supply three times ten to the twentieth watts of continuous energy, with the Sun—by way of the Solar Wind—acting as the power supply and constantly recharging it. We have here a tremendous energy potential which once must have powered the energy needs of a highly sophisticated civilization many times over.

Mathematician and Egyptian mysteries researcher Tony Smith saw the Great Pyramid as a sound/ electromagnetism transceiver, with the faces of the Pyramid, with their unique geometry, acting as large antennae.

Contrary to current theories of its construction, Smith believed that the outer casing stones did not fit flush against the outermost core stones, that the two had few contact points, making the casing stones a large homogenous casing shell supporting itself in a cantilever configuration. The upshot is, this shell would act like a large bell, and the cantilever design would allow outside subtle forces to impart a vibration “ringing” the Pyramid bell.

The so-called ventilation shafts connected the casing stone bell with the Queen’s and King’s Chamber, imparting the vibration from the bell to the Chambers’ walls, and vice versa. Since the King’s Chamber is entirely composed of granite, with its inherent quartz content being piezoelectric, then the Chamber acted as a converter of vibration, and thus was a transmitter. Its Granite Box would have contained the transmission source. The Queen’s Chamber, made entirely of limestone—the same as the outer antennae faces—contains calcium carbonate or calcite, which is both anisotropic and triboluminescent, acted as the main receiver.

Above the King’s Chamber, the five-layer granite slab configuration topped with a limestone gable, with relieving air spaces in between, created resonating chambers for modulating the sound/ electromagnetism conversion.

Another modulating device was the Antechamber connecting the King’s Chamber with the Grand Gallery, in which various granite leafs could be raised and lowered in its wall grooves.

Smith further surmised that the Pyramid never had a capstone but was always truncated, its apex platform once possessing transceiver-related material or an apparatus.

Both early and more recent research indicates that while there is no evidence of a hollowing along the lower level casing stones, the casing stones above the base line were slightly sloped toward a central line. This meant that each face was in itself composed of three triangles, in an inverse tetrahedron formation, creating a very efficient multi-wave antennae pattern.

Modern research is now supporting the fact that the conversion of acoustic to electromagnetic signals can occur in quartz, sulphides, kimberlitic and other minerals, even calcitic limestone, and that the signals are related to geophysical frequencies, including the Schumann Resonance of the planet. It is now recognized that seismo-electric conversions can be produced through the piezoelectric effects of quartz and pulsed radio frequency responses of minerals.

Going a step beyond the energies of three-dimensional space, the layout of the three Giza Pyramids on the surface of the Earth represented spherical geometry, the four sides of the Great Pyramid utilized Euclidean geometry, and the horizontal cross-sections of the core masonry as it is related to the outer shell casing stones involved hyperbolic geometry.

Smith believes the integration of all three of these geometries allowed higher dimensional energy hyper spheres to embed themselves into the Great Pyramid’s configuration, allowing for openings into other planes of existence. The content of the messages sent and received by the Pyramid transceiver—whether in our dimensional space or in others—was most likely based on sound or music, of a highly complex mathematical nature. The Great Pyramid was thus a Grand Musical Instrument that both played and performed the Song of the Earth and the Music of the Spheres.
