has anybody ever heard of this theory its pretty interesting?

yep i read a book on that theory. It tells the story of Werner von Siemens he was a inventor and industrialist and the founder of that famous Company "Siemens"

He scaled to the summit of the Great Pyramid in 1859, and stuck his finger up into the air. As he assumed a triumphant pose, a crack of electricity rang out and he received an electric shock. Later he brought up a large glass jar filled with paper , when he lifted it up into the air at the summit large sparks of electricity started the flash all around him , his egyptian asistent who was right behind him started screaming and ran away in terror thinking he was summoning the devel or something lol. it turns out that the jar stores static electricity, it not only became charged, but generated sparks.

im not sure if the pyramids are power generators but thay are more than just rocks in the shape of Pyramids.
Mr Siemens seemed to think thay had something to do with power, but who no's

======================
Of course they are more than just rocks in the shape of pyramids…

They are the tombs (and self-indulgent monuments) of wealthy politically (and religious?) powerful people. ~rore

When I was much younger than I am today I remember conducting an experiment involving a perspex pyramid.
To conduct this experiment successfully the pyramid must be constructed to the perfect proportions of the " golden triangle", that is to the ratio of 3:4:5 .
The Great Pyramid at Giza is actually two triangles of the ratio, 3:4:5 placed back to back. This is the shape that you must adhere to.
Once constructed your pyramid must be correctly aligned so that two opposite sides are on a North to South axis.
The experiment uses three different items, these being 1. a glass of water, 2. a freshly picked rose (or other flower) and 3. a bowl of fruit (it can be any fruit that can comfortably fit inside the pyramid).
The test subject must be placed inside the pyramid at one third of the height from the base. At the same time place a similar subject outside the confines of the pyramid with which to compare the experiment.
The test subject should be left for at least one week although one month gives better more definable results.
At the end of the experiment taste first the water outside the pyramid and you will find that it tastes bland and horrible and not at all refreshing. Taste the water from inside the pyramid and you will be amazed to find that it tastes fresh and is quite pure etc.
Continue with the experiment involving the flower and the fruit and the results will be truly amazing and remarkable. I will not spoil it for you be telling you what you will discover. I will leave that up to you to find out for yourselves.
There truly is a remarkable power that involves the pyramid. I do not know what exactly it is, I do not even know if there is anyone who can give a detailed explanation. All I know is that it works. Try it for yourself and see.

“Egyptian pyramids incorporate a sacred geometry that helps perserve the mummies (and fruit…): myth busted�

“Myth: The myth is that the Egyptian pyramids incorporate a sacred geometry that helps preserve the mummies.
It is claimed this same geometry can keep fruit fresh or razor blades sharp…

“For the test each item was placed 1/3 of the way up in the pyramid to match the location of burial chambers in Egyptian pyramids. A control item was placed outside of the pyramid. The pyramids were also aligned to the north.
* Rose: Both dried out similarly

*Apple: Pyramid apple rotted much less.
However, Tory cut it with a dirty chop saw, so they ran the test once more with properly sterilized apples.

“They also added a cube in the second test and ran it for four months. No visible difference seen between the control apple and the ‘pyramid apple‘.�

That above link to the Mythbusters stuff appears to be broken... Try this one... ~rore

The pyramids were built from the inside out. How else? Am I the only one that takes this fact for granted? You can't build the walls of the pyramid and then the inside.

According to me the Pyramids are been built with the strength of the magnetism.
Also Coral Castle , according to me has been built with the strength of the magnetism.

I'm sorry Rorechof but I have to take issue with your post. I have watched "Mythbusters" myself and I am sorry but it is merely sensationalised T.V. for the benefit of the television audience. I visited the mythbuster's website and read their report concerning their experiments regarding "pyramid power". It is my view that their experiments were not conducted in a scientific manner at all. Why do I come to this conclusion? Simple. They quote an experiment involving milk that became infested with milk maggots. If the experiment was conducted in a scientific manner, with no outside influences , then how did the milk maggots appear in the milk? I believe that maggots are the larvae of a fly that have hatched from eggs laid by the fly. For the fly to have laid it's eggs in the milk it must have had access to the milk inside the pyramid. If this is the case it negates the experiment and makes it null and void.
to follow on, yes the Rose dried out but if the experiment had been conducted in a truly scientific manner it would have been found that the Rose kept its scent, its aroma whilst the test subject outside the pyramid did not.
The fruit that I used was grapes and yes they dried out to resemble raisins but they still retained their succulent taste.
I suggest that anyone who wishes to, conduct their own experiments following strict scientific guidlines and not rely on the ramblings of people who "bust myths" for the purpose of "good television" and to bolster their own egos.

Got to agree with senhuan on this one. The mere shape of the pyramid determines that the outside walls would collapse in on themselves if they were not supported by something.

JV posts: It is my view that their experiments were not conducted in a scientific manner at all.
======================

Do not take this as a personal affront JV, but… Your experiment hardly qualifies as ‘scientific’ either.

There is NO scientific evidence confirming your belief that the ’pyramid’ has the properties you are claiming it has… None… ~rore

Rorechof I concur that my experiments didn't qualify as "scientific" in it's purest sense but I didn't allow flies, or anything else, to corrupt the experiment.
As for "scientific proof" , that is a nonsense term as the laws of aerodynamics state that a Bumble Bee is unable to fly because of its size, shape and weight in relationship to its wings, yet it does. Isn't science marvellous?
Have scientists actually conducted exhaustive experiments on the pyramid shape bearing the ratio of 3:4:5 ? I think that you'll find the answer to this one is NO.
Do not take my word for anything I say. Instead do your own experiments and see the results for yourself if you have a mind to.
Finally, a question for you. Look at pictures of the "Great Pyramid" and you will notice that the Apex has been removed. Why was this done? Could it have been a deliberate act to negate the powers that thousands of people believe are associated with the "Great Pyramid" ?

JV posts: As for "scientific proof" , that is a nonsense term
======================

Believe what you will JV.

I’ll reiterate…

There is NO scientific evidence confirming your belief that the ’pyramid’ has the properties you are claiming it has… None…
Your claim is ‘nonsense‘ as there is no proof to confirm your belief…

However, there is evidence provided by the mythbusters episode that confirms the myth is busted. Prove otherwise… ~rore

i think the pyramid is symbolic,rather than hydrolic.

I do not really ascribe to 'pyramid powers' as I have not given it enough thought to base an opinion on. I did take a look that mythbusters episode and my concern with it is that it produces factoids rather than factual evidence. As everyone knows, the general public is easily mislead by factoids. Factoids are the essence of myth itself.


Here is what the 'experts' had to say...



They proceeded to prove this myth false by conducting experiments on milk, apples, roses and razors in a down scaled, cheap pyramid replica. Dismissing any other conditions inherent in the geometrical design which may have been present in the actual, colossal pyramids and which may have contributed to mummification, they proceeded with a ridiculous experiment and concluded the myth busted.

The rate of decay...from fresh to dry decay...in flesh and bone is determined by a variety of factors...many of which do not even apply to apples, milk or flowers. To prove this myth false, the only valid experiment would involve the absence of all conditions not pertaining to the tomb's geometrical shape and the placement of a fresh cadaver in a pyramid of the same shape, size and location as the original Egyptian pyramids. All else is irrelevant and proves nothing.

“To prove this myth false, the only valid experiment would involve the absence of all conditions not pertaining to the tomb's geometrical shape and the placement of a fresh cadaver in a pyramid of the same shape�
============================

How about no pyramid?
Would the mummified corpses of American Natives found in caves or burial sites count?
For starters, google Inca Mummies…

Myth busted? ~rore

You are changing the conditions again...their statement does not address the absence of pyramids or burial caves...they claimed to have disproved the following statement...



They did not disprove it. What they proved was that their apples rotted in a pyramid replica. C'mon, rore, that's not even close to their original statement. But, I'll admit, it certainly was a great slight of hand...I almost bought it hook, line and sinker....

Who’s original statement of what…? You lost me… ~rore

The myth is that the Egyptian pyramids incorporate a sacred geometry that helps preserve the mummies.

Their experiment did not disprove this. It did not even address it.

“The myth is that the Egyptian pyramids incorporate a sacred geometry that helps preserve the mummies.�
===================
ETA: OOOPS I got sidetracked and missed this tutu…

Here is what you posted: “Here is what the 'experts' had to say...
“The myth is that the Egyptian pyramids incorporate a sacred geometry that helps preserve the mummies“

Tutu, you forgot the other part of this myth, which is: “This same geometry can keep fruit fresh or razor blades sharp.�

And then you post: “They proceeded to prove this myth false by conducting experiments on milk, apples, roses and razors…�

Yes they did proceed to prove this part of the myth false.
Considering ‘the experts’ are claiming this sacred geometry will keep fruit fresh and razors sharp… Myth busted… ~rore

Let’s cut to the chase.
Who started this ‘sacred geometry’ tripe?
Flanagan is the guy who coined the phrase ‘pyramid power’ and posited the ‘notion’ that putting a razor blade in a pyramid will keep it sharp and a whole lot of other utter nonsense.
It was Flanagan who started most of this mystical stuff relating to the pyramids.
He is actually an interesting read if you are interested. ~rore
