The Secret Electrical Wiring Methods Used in the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt
I have long been fascinated by the incredible architectural achievements of the ancient Egyptians. The pyramids in particular have captivated me. How did the ancient Egyptians, using only copper tools, construct such massive structures with such precision?
Recent discoveries have shed light on the advanced electrical wiring methods used by the ancient Egyptians in their pyramids. In this article, I will share my in-depth research into these secret techniques.
Discovery of Baghdad Batteries Suggests Early Use of Electricity
In 1936, several interesting artifacts were discovered near Baghdad, Iraq. These objects appear to be ancient batteries known today as the Baghdad batteries. They consist of a clay jar with a stopper made of asphalt. An iron rod surrounded by a copper cylinder was inserted through the asphalt.
Filling the jars with an acidic solution like vinegar or wine would have generated an electrical current. Tests conducted on reconstructed Baghdad batteries produced voltages between 0.8V to 2V.
This suggests the ancient Mesopotamians had a rudimentary understanding of electricity over 2000 years ago. If the Mesopotamians had batteries, could the more advanced Egyptians also have harnessed electricity?
Conductive Properties of the Great Pyramid Hint at Complex Electrical System
The Great Pyramid of Giza contains intriguing clues that suggest it functioned as a giant power plant.
Granite, which has electromagnetic properties, was used liberally in the pyramid's interior chambers. The narrow shafts inside the Great Pyramid were lined with granite acting as electrical conduits. The King's Chamber contains a copper coated granite sarcophagus. Copper is an excellent electrical conductor.
In the so-called Queen's Chamber, German engineer Reinhard Habeck detected higher than expected levels of radioactivity. He theorized that the pyramid once used radium laced rock salts to generate radiation for power.
These facts imply the ancient Egyptians engineered an advanced electrical system integrating conductive materials throughout the Great Pyramid.
Ley Lines and Quartz Crystals - Natural Sources of Energy
The pyramids are strategically positioned along ley lines, the invisible geometric grid of the earth's natural energy. Where ley lines intersect, the energy concentration intensifies. This allowed the ancient Egyptians to harness the earth's natural electricity.
Quartz found in granite conducts electricity when compressed. In the inner chambers, the immense downward pressure of the pyramid's stone blocks squeezing the granite walls could have generated piezoelectricity.
Some propose that the shafts in the Great Pyramid aimed at specific stars to capture cosmic rays. Others suggest aquifers running beneath the pyramids conducted underground electricity. The ancient Egyptians likely leveraged multiple natural energy sources when powering their pyramids.
Advanced Applications: Lighting, Security & Sound Effects
What did the ancient Egyptians use electricity for? Here are some theories:
- Interior lighting - Copper coated torches lined shafts and chambers. Electricity passing through copper produces a greenish light.
- Security system - Broken wires would disable electric doors and booby traps protecting tombs from grave robbers.
- Sonic resonators - The King's Chamber's dimensions are calculated to resonate specific frequencies when stimulated electrically. Vocal notes made in the chamber reflected off granite surfaces for mystical effect.
While the full extent of the ancient Egyptians' electrical achievements is unknown, evidence clearly suggests the Great Pyramid incorporated an early electrical system powered by natural energy. This technology was truly ahead of its time. Further research may yet reveal more secrets of the past.
