THEORY OF PYRAMID CHEMICAL FACTORIES & ORIGIN OF THE THEORY
My first trip to Egypt was in 2017 and my first site that I visited during this research expedition is Abusir. There at the Pyramid of Niuserre is a red quartzite conduit that leads from the base of the pyramid underneath the black basalt temple floor, and it terminates here into this collection bowl (about 2 1/2 feet wide and deep). The conventional explanation of this conduit is that it was for water drainage, but the first time I saw this, that explanation, coming from conventional archaeology, absolutely did not resonate with me. First of all, they wouldn't collect rainwater. They would just drain it off to the side of the site or back into the Nile River. I knew instead it was for the collection of chemicals. And this was sort of the impetus and the inspiration for the development of my hypothesis that the Egyptian pyramids were designed to produce chemicals on an industrial scale. Our next stop was the Red Pyramid of Dashur where the interior of these chambers are completely covered with chemical stains and there's an intense smell of ammonia. So this was the beginning of my hypothesis that the Egyptian pyramids were designed to produce a series of chemicals.
EARLIER STONE CIRCLES AS CHEMICAL FACTORIES
It wasn't until 2023 when my wife and I visited the Serpent Temple of Avebury where I really started to figure out exactly how these systems work and how they are directly connected to lightning. And I wanna make one thing clear that for these ancient Neolithic people the electric current itself is only a tiny fraction of why they were building these systems. It is All about agriculture and fertilizer. On my members-only channel, episode 6, I proposed that these stone circle systems work in conjunction with the telluric currents that flow through the crust of the Earth, creating dielectric polarization of the bedrock, which leads to an accumulation of positive charges on the surface of the Earth. And there's a lot of research that corroborates the idea that the location of telluric currents are directly connected to locations for lightning strikes. So that's what this red ring is depicting, the accumulation of positive charges around the ring of eight central stones. This ring of positive charges on the surface of the Earth serve as an attractor for negatively charged lightning strikes. And then an electric current is distributed throughout the system. Atmospheric nitrates, fertilizers, are created during the chemical reaction in the air during lightning strikes and are brought down in the rainfall and are fed into the nearby streams, which were also used for irrigation, and brought down into agricultural areas. So these Neolithic civilization across the world was building these stone circle systems to strategically manipulate the location of lightning storms to bring down fertilizers in the form of atmospheric nitrates to specific areas for the fertilization of food vegetation. It was not necessarily agriculture, because conventionally speaking these are hunter gatherer civilizations. These systems were designed to work in conjunction with telluric currents in the Earth's crust, and that causes an accumulation of positive charges on the ground that serve as basically a target for negatively charged cloud-to-ground lightning. This is a picture of the Serpent Temple complex at Avebury. You can see the main lightning attractor system here in the center. But this is also connected to structures like Silbury Hill, the West Kennett Long Barrow, the Sanctuary, and Longstones Cove. So this is a huge complex, a massive landscape engineering and terraforming system. The West Kennet Long Barrow is a chemical reactor that was designed for the production of ferrous sulfate, which I go into in episode 119, regarding ultrasound crystallization. These systems also work in with the White Forest Hills of Wiltshire, England, Which were designed to attract cumulonimbus thunderstorm clouds from which these lightning discharges occur. That's episode 137.
ORIGIN OF STONE CIRCLES
Let's get into some scientific evidence connecting stone circles and lightning. I'm gonna describe how this ancient Neolithic civilization came up with the idea to create stone circles to bring lightning and atmospheric nitrates. This is a site called Oshito Ishi Hill in Japan. My wife and I just spent a month exploring the entire country of Japan to research the stone circle systems across the country, which, like I said, are identical to all of the stone circles across the UK. You can see this stone here in the center. It's a little melted at the top and scarred with lightning: cracks and pockmarks. We had heard that there are profound magnetic fields that surround all of these stones on the top of Oshito Ishi Hill. These stones are made from andesite, which is a very unique material in that it contains magnetite. So we brought a magnetometer with us to the site and we tested the magnetic field surrounding these stones. If you're using a magnetometer, the average magnetic field of the Earth can range anywhere from 20 to 60 microteslas. When we tested the magnetic field around these stones, we would get readings ranging from 200 to 600 microteslas, sometimes even higher. Here's a picture of my lovely wife Alexa sitting on one of these stones, just so you can get an idea of the scale of how big these andesite boulders are. Now let's talk about some of the research. This article comes from Kumamoto University with two professors who studied Oshito Ishi Hill. They're explaining that this hill is made of volcanic tuff and welded tuff, and these andesite boulders are protruding from the top of the hill. They corroborate in this article that the stones are magnetized by "thunder lightnings". The stones contain abundant magnetite and the bare stones sticking out of the hill act like lightning rods. The stones have been hit frequently by lightning strokes. The positive charge of the ground was discharged repeatedly by the negative charge in the sky through large electric currents into those stones. The depressions and cracks on the stones are scars from these lightning discharges. So when a stone was struck by a large lightning stroke, a large magnetic field was around the stone due to the electric current. According to Ampere's law, when the heated magnetite cool down below the Curie temperature, the directions of magnetization are fixed and magnetic patches are left in the stone. So this article corroborates my hypothesis. And this is a natural site. So we haven't even gotten to the development of the actual manmade stone circles yet, but this is a natural geologic feature of a volcanic tuff hill that has these huge andesite boulders protruding from the top. Again, the magnetization around these stones is directly related to lightning discharges into the stones, creating this fixed magnetization of the magnetite.
NEOLITHIC LIGHTNING DRAGONS
Now let's go into the mind of Neolithic man; these people existed for thousands of years. They would have watched, observed, and learned from the forces of nature. They would have watched these natural formations being struck by lightning, and for some magical reason, the rain during these lightning events had a profound effect on crop growth and all of the bushes where they harvested berries or the tree nuts or whatever plants that they were using for food. They grew really well with this magical Thunder and lightning rain. So over the generations they would have studied these naturally occurring events and gradually developed the idea to move these same type of stones to another location to harvest food. That is the genesis of stone circle building across the globe. And it is specifically for directing Thunder and lightning storms, for the production of atmospheric nitrates to fertilize agricultural areas. Myths of fire-breathing dragons provoke imagery that relates directly to lightning and such dragon and serpent imagery exists all across the world. On the pyramid of Chichen Itza in Mexico is a serpent image which descends to the ground during the {spring and} fall equinox, the beginning of their agricultural season. It's Kukulkan, the plumed serpent, a dragon which specifically refers to lightning. Kukulkan descends from the sky to the earth, bringing with him the energy of the sun and the gift of water for planting. It is as though the feathered snake is an umbilical cord that provides nourishment to the land. Its vibration energizes the earth, preparing it for new growth. So even in South America we have mythology of this fire breathing dragon, this plumed serpent, which specifically refers to lightning, which comes with rain. During the lightning events there is a very specific chemical reaction that occurs in the atmosphere. Nitrogen in the air reacts with oxygen to form nitrates and those nitrates dissolve into rain. The rain brings the fertilizers down to these agricultural areas for the nourishment of crops.
STONE MAGNETIZATION BY LIGHTNING
The rocks getting hit by lightning, each time that they get smacked, they're going to magnetize more and it's gonna be more likely for that to happen again in the future. The iron oxide veins spread across the Giza plateau similarly attracted lightning events. This ancient civilization was studying and learning from the forces of nature. Clearly they were very interested in solar and lunar cycles. With their archeoastrology they were tracking the sun, the moon, the planet Venus. This was what was happening at Stonehenge, which is known colloquially as the Dance of the Giants, because they were tracking the celestial conjunction of the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon specifically for their agricultural season. So I have to view these things from the eyes of a Neolithic person, where everything is related to agriculture. Again, even if these are hunter gatherer people, it makes a lot of sense that, if they could understand that there was a special connection between the rain that occurs during these thunder and lightning storm events and the nourishment of the crops, this provides the impetus for these stone circle systems. And that's exactly what we see in the symbols all across Japan and in the construction of German stone circles. They were taking the same type of landscape features at Oshito Ishi Hill, which is a welded tuff outcrop that is embedded with these andesite boulders, and they were creating manmade features with the same configuration, in an attempt to strategically direct these thunder and lightning and rain storms to different areas. And all across Japan we have symbolism that connects thunder, lightning, rain, fertilization and agriculture. And what you can see here is something called a shimano, which is a twisted rope, and it is a symbol for a cumulonimbus thunderstorm cloud. These little white things are symbolic of lightning. Another symbol in the shimano image signifies fertilization, rain, and agriculture. And of course, there's abundant mythology about dragons in Japan, which, according to my research, are directly connected to lightning. So this mythology and the symbolism of the gods, like Susano, which is the thunder and lightning god, is also directly connected to fertilization. This symbolism permeates the ancient mythology across Japan. And then we see German stone circles where they were literally flattening tuff hillsides and using the exact same types of stones in a similar configuration, a stone circle, directly connected to agricultural areas.
LIGHTNING MARKS ON STONE CIRCLES
So again, by studying and learning from the forces of nature and these formations that were naturally attracting lightning into the stone, they learned that they could build these systems to direct the forces of nature strategically to specific areas for the fertilization of crops through atmospheric nitrates. So now let's get into some proof that this was actually occurring from episode 116: Proof of lightning at ancient stone circles. And I bring you the Callanish stone circle {located on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland} and this paper, a geophysical investigation of the neolithic Callanish landscape, where they discovered a star-shaped magnetic anomaly in the center of the stone circle. These features are interpreted as indicative of past lightning strikes. This article (from the University of Saint Andrews) made huge waves in the ancient archaeology world not too long ago, investigating the same sorts of magnetic phenomenon that are indicative of lightning strikes literally in the center of this stone circle system. Here's an image of this magnetic anomaly. Later on in the article I'll quote here. Lightning is well established not to uniformly strike on the landscape, as lightning searches for and locates areas of charge buildup. Trees, Stones, conductive minerals will tend to be struck multiply over time. They state that this looks like it received multiple or repeated strikes of high current density on the center of this stone circle. So here we have academic evidence that literally proves that this stone circle was being struck by lightning repeatedly. Once you get this going, it is something that will recur over and over again. There's a good reason why they brought the altar-stone of Stonehenge all the way from Scotland, because it's different than all the rest of the stones at Stonehenge. I also go into my research discussing the function of the stone avenues. On the top of the hill is a massive pillar, standing stone, or obelisk, in the center, which literally serves as the lightning rod to discharge the positive charge that has accumulated on the surface of the Earth. During this negative electrostatic discharge from lightning, some of the current is distributed through the stone avenue. A lot of it goes back into the ground. But again, the electric current is only small fraction of the reason for these systems. What they were trying to do was bring the rain and these atmospheric nitrates. In episode 115 I talked about the function of Stonehenge and how the pillar or the central altar stone of Stonehenge is different than all of the rest of the stones. The big trilithon stones, or sarsen stones, which are high silica content sandstone. There's an unusual connection between the structures in the UK and the andesite we see used all across Japan. But the central altar stone is micaceous sandstone. It is unique because it has extremely high content of mica, which is an exceptional material for high voltage operations. It has an extremely high dielectric strength and it is an extremely good thermal insulator. So it is geologically engineered by natural forces of course to withstand the high voltage electric discharges from lightning. I went into great detail in episodes like 106, explaining about the dielectric polarization, the accumulation of these positive charges, these negative electrostatic discharges from lightning, et cetera.
PROGRESSION TO EGYPTIAN PYRAMIDS
So now let's go into proof of high voltage electric current distribution on the Giza Plateau. An iron vein network covers the Giza Plateau. We have a lot of chemical analysis data from samples taken from inside of the Red Pyramid, from the coating compound on the Red Pyramid, from inside of the Great Pyramid and from the iron veins that spread across the Giza plateau. It turns out that these iron veins contain tons of conductive minerals. These veins contain gold, silver and silicate microspheres; the microspheres are from fulgurites. A fulgurite is lightning heated and fused sand. It's basically like a Lichtenberg figure, a branch formation in the ground. These fulgurites are filled with silicon microspheres. These microspheres that the iron veins across the Giza plateau have been hit by high voltage electric current from lightning. These iron mineral veins literally connect into every single structure. There are veins that connect into the so-called boat pits. There are veins that lead from the Great Pyramid into the satellite pyramids. There are veins that connect the Great Pyramid into all of the adjacent temples. There's a huge vein that runs from the core of the Great Pyramid directly into the Osiris shaft. I've also documented the huge iron veins that terminate down in the subterranean system. The core of the central pyramid is also permeated with this iron mineral deposit. And it also connects into other various structures leading all the way down the Causeway to the Valley Temple and the Sphinx enclosure. The Great Pyramid was designed to get struck by lightning, and if we go back to the beginning, that single stone at Oshito Ishi Hill, that is a tiny stone compared to the size of the Great Pyramid. And if that can withstand multiple lightning strikes, the Great Pyramid is literally built to do the same thing, being the power source for the Egyptian pyramids. There was transition from the neolithic stone circle building civilization in Japan and the UK to the function of the Egyptian pyramids. So as far as I know I'm the only person to map these iron veins. The evidence is in my previous video episodes. I've documented on camera both the core of the Great Pyramid and the core of the central pyramid showing these iron veins running through the bedrock core. And I have fully documented in a long series of Sunday site visits all of these iron veins running through the Giza plateau. Robert Schoch is the only other researcher I know to recognize that there are iron veins on the Giza plateau. The Great Pyramid was built to be that size for a reason, the electric field capabilities of the Great Pyramid. It's designed to store that electric field inside of the limestone itself. I have a feeling that the casing stones of the Great Pyramid were somewhat like a Faraday cage for the distribution of some of this electric current down the surface of the Great Pyramid. Stone is not a conductor of electricity. Stone is actually a dielectric material and an electrical insulator. The Great Pyramid was built to be the size that it is, because it was intended to store those electric fields for the production of chemicals on the inside. That's why the Great Pyramid has red granite on the inside, because when you induce an electric field into the quartz in red granite, you have something called the inverse piezoelectric effect. I highly disagree that the Great Pyramid has anything to do with the production of electricity. If a theory cannot evaluate the function of these structures using one comprehensive umbrella, there is no way that it's accurate. My hypothesis uses the umbrella of electric field and chemical manufacturing to address the function of all of the Egyptian pyramids, the Step Pyramid, the Red Pyramid, the Bent Pyramid, the Great Pyramid, the Central Pyramid, and the final pyramids of the Giza Plateau. And it also assesses structures like New Grange, these passage chamber systems that exist all over the world, which are also very primitive Chemical reactors. The Plateau was leveled before they ever did any construction on the pyramids. They leveled that bedrock and they stopped at a very specific place that maintained the integrity and connectivity of the iron mineral veins running through the bedrock. They did not go any further in the excavation of the leveling of the plateau, which is a direct indication that they knew precisely what they were doing in the selection of the Giza Plateau. They knew about these iron veins and they wanted to maintain their connectivity over the Plateau. The inverse piezoelectric property of quartz was used for the production of ultrasound, an extremely effective catalyst for driving chemical reactions.
ELECTRIC UNIVERSE
Did you happen to watch that video from the Thunderbolts project? That video is made by a guy named Andrew Hall. And I had no idea that they were gonna make that video. And Andrew Hall is an electrical engineer and he also had a career in the design of chemical manufacturing facilities. And he put together a 30 minute comprehensive overview of my work that addresses the telluric currents, lightning and chemical manufacturing aspects of my hypothesis. I was bombarded with emails the morning that video dropped. He and they have the knowledge to critique these type of things. These people were chemists, chemical engineers, physicists, electrical engineers, people that work in the petroleum industry. All of these people with academic and professional qualifications have reached out in support of my work. So there's a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis. (Dan said: I'm not a proponent of the electric universe. As an electrician, I have a lot of problems with the electric universe. It would have made my life really difficult.)
FROM FIRE WORSHIP TO CHEMICAL FACTORIES
Across the Middle East there were these ancient fire worshipping civilizations, the Persians, the Zoroastrians, even the Oracle at Delphi in Greece is connected to eternal flames or sacred flames of these ancient religions, which were also connected to methane seeps. A methane seep is where methane pops out of the ground. They had one at Delhi. They hypothesize that the worshipers would smell the fumes and hallucinate. I would propose that they were taking hallucinogens and then going and watching the fire. The fire itself was the oracle. They watched the flames while they were tripping. They somehow interpreted divinations from the flame. All of these ancient fire worshipping eternal flame religions are directly connected to methane seeps. And a lot of these methane seeps are naturally ignited by lightning, so there's sort of a coincidental connection between lightning and methane seeds. So these neolithic people, studying and learning from nature, would have noticed these methane seeps and this mysterious fire coming from this magic air. It doesn't take a huge leap in the mind of the ancient shamanistic magic priesthood class to decide to design a structure that can capture this magical fire air and they could use it, because fire is a very useful tool. There are scholarly articles talking about the connection between these eternal ancient flames and these natural gas seeps all over the world, especially in the Middle East, because there's tons of natural gas and oil deposits there. So this isn't even speculation or a part of my hypothesis. This is literal history. They realized they could use this fire air for making fire in their homes to heat and boil water, for example, very rudimentary applications that would have been the justification for a massive structure that could extract these bedrock methane deposits.
PYRAMIDS FOR METHANE & AMMONIA PRODUCTION
Enter episode 125, the function of the Step Pyramid. In the Step Pyramid is a huge network of tunnels, which were designed to use water pressure to remove methane from the bedrock under it. So the step pyramid originally wasn't a pyramid at all, it was a single level mastaba. And eventually they added more layers on top thus creating the Step Pyramid, the first true pyramid in Egypt. There's a number of reasons that this pyramid design was implemented that would also directly apply to the pyramids that came later. First and foremost was encapsulation of pressure. If you have any pressure leaking out of the system, it's not going to be as effective for your pumping operation. Second was reducing environmental contamination. If you're actually pumping out methane gas, you don't want that leaking out into the atmosphere, so adding more layers to the structure and more body of stone surrounding your internal components would have maintained the internal pressure and also would have encapsulated and prevented environmental contamination, all factors that are directly related to the implementation of the pyramid design in the Red and Bent Pyramids of Dashur and specifically the pyramids of the Giza Plateau. In episode 136 I discussed a new paper entitled The Step Pyramid Hydraulic Lift System, where they describe the utilization of a hydraulic lift mechanism inside of the Step Pyramid for construction of the pyramid, which is nonsense. The hydraulics was for removing methane for chemical production.
The Red Pyramid of Dashur was possibly the inspiration for the modern Haber process, where they use methane and water to produce liquid ammonia. The ancient chemical manufacturing process was not producing liquid ammonia. It was an aqueous solution of ammonia. Liquid ammonia is super cooled ammonia gas. An aqueous solution of ammonia is just ammonia gas dissolved into water. I also proposed a secondary hypothesis about the function of the Step Pyramid, which is that they were using cow manure for the production of biogas, which is also methane. With cattle manure they could produce methane gas, due to biogas fermentation. The Western Silo on the western side of the Step Pyramid was used for agricultural storage. It's an immense silo with underground chambers and shafts that could have piped methane.
This could also help explain dynastic Egyptian iconography and the deification of cattle. If they were using cattle manure for the production of this sacred fire air, it would certainly make sense that the cow would then become a deified animal. Perhaps that led to the repurposing of the Apis Bull as a sacred religious icon in the dynastic pantheon. Same with the scarab beetle, a dung collecting beetle. I'm not 100% on board with the idea that the pyramids were built by the dynastic Egyptians. There has to be a damn good reason that they went through all of the effort to build the pyramids, and producing chemicals is a very good reason for that. The pyramid of Teotihuacan has a proposed river of mercury running below it. Anytime I hear about mercury, I think it's for processing gold. South America and Mexico huge gold production.
AMUN & AMMONIA
So curiously enough, the etymology of our modern word for ammonia directly comes from the word Amun, the Egyptian deity. Amun is the deity of fertility, and that is literally where we get our modern word for ammonia, a fertilizer. And you can see here Amun with these big crops growing out of his head. He was literally the deity of fertility, which I believe is an esoteric symbol that was later encoded into the hieroglyphs regarding the fertilizer production that used to occur in this ancient civilization. So that's pretty interesting connection between some of the deities of ancient Egypt and this ancient chemistry. And I have a whole series where I discuss some of these ancient hieroglyphs and deities and how these could actually be representations of different chemicals, and we've just misunderstood the interpretation and the esoteric symbolism of them.
ADDENDUM
This video has detailed explanation of a theory about the function of ancient Egyptian pyramids, particularly focusing on chemical processes. The speaker discusses how various pyramids might have been used to produce chemicals like ammonia, urea, and sulfuric acid for agricultural, industrial, and metallurgical purposes.
Key points include:
- The Step, Red, and Bent pyramids were allegedly used in series to produce ammonia and urea.
- The Great Pyramid is described as potentially being used to manufacture sulfuric acid.
- These chemicals are linked to ancient industries like shipbuilding, fertilizer production, and metallurgy.
- The speaker connects these processes to the period known as the "Sahara Wet" (8500 BC to 5300 BC). {I explained at Proof Sedimentary Rock Is Not Old and at Dating Methods and at Cataclysmic Earth History that conventional dating is wrong. The Great Flood likely occurred about 3,200 BC and the Sahara Wet period likely occurred after that from 3,200 BC to 2,500 BC.}
{The Fire Worship section of the video above led me to look for info about hallucinogens in ancient religion. So the following isn’t part of the video. Eventually, I may look into this more thoroughly to compare with the Saturn Theory.}
HALLUCINOGENS IN ANCIENT RELIGION
AI: The use of hallucinogens for spiritual inspiration by shamans and other spiritual leaders has a long and rich history dating back thousands of years. Anthropological evidence suggests that hallucinogens have been used as early as 9000 B.C.4
These substances, often referred to as entheogens, have played a crucial role in various religious and spiritual practices across different cultures.
Ancient Use
Ancient shamans, medicine men and women, and conjurers used plants and fungi with psychoactive properties to:
Open their minds to profound insights
Heighten their senses to the spiritual world
Reach harmony with the universe
See into the future
Communicate with the divine4
Early cave paintings and pictographs by indigenous people are believed to have been partially inspired by hallucinogenic influences4.
Cultural Significance
Hallucinogens were used in various ways across different cultures:
The Aztecs and Mayans called psychedelic mushrooms "teonanácatl," meaning "flesh of the gods," believing they helped them "see God"4.
In Amazonian shamanism, ayahuasca was used for divination, healing, and communicating with the spirit world1.
Native American tribes used peyote for religious ceremonies, rituals, and vision quests4.
The Arapaho and Iowan tribes in the U.S. used mescal beans for their "Red Bean Dance" and storytelling4.
Spiritual Experiences
The psychedelic experience is often compared to non-ordinary forms of consciousness such as those experienced in meditation, near-death experiences, and mystical experiences. Ego dissolution is frequently described as a key feature of the psychedelic experience3.
Modern Context
In the contemporary world, entheogens continue to play a role in various religious and spiritual practices:
The Native American Church uses peyote legally as part of its ceremonies4.
Some contemporary religions incorporate psychedelics as sacraments5.
Many individuals report having deeply spiritual and mystical experiences with psychedelics outside of structured religious contexts5.
The use of hallucinogens for spiritual purposes has faced challenges throughout history, particularly with the arrival of colonial powers and newer religions. However, interest in these substances for spiritual and therapeutic purposes has seen a resurgence in recent years5.
Wow you all are crushing this. Great writing. Important topic. Andrija Puharic key to the door of eternity hahaha. Farmers need all the help we can get. Slavery isn't cool anymore, but we need something!
Awesome - We're super interested in these topics, and I never heard of the idea of these stone circles as collectors of lightning energy. Super fascinating!
