ELECTRICITY TO FIT ANCIENT STONE BLOCKS
I just rewatched this video from a year ago: The Greatest Mystery, Solved. Recreating Ancient Stone Melding Technology, at
I think the author may have meant to say Stone Melting, instead of Stone Melding, because melding means blending. The video says many ancient megalithic sites have blocks that fit together well because they were melted together using electrodes, which left holes or knobs on the stones. He has a playlist of 3 videos starting with that one, but the other two don't seem closely related. The second one is about lighting ancient lingams. The third is about a water-powered Tesla coil.
ELECTRODES
He said the electrodes used to melt stone blocks together had to be square or hexagonal. At 5'19" in the first video he shows a rod found in the north shaft of the Queen's chamber of the Great Pyramid in 2002. Since the shaft is said to be 8 or 9 inches wide, it looks like the rod must be maybe half an inch in diameter and 16 or more inches long. He labeled it a square rod. I guess it was copper. AI doesn't help with info about that, though I didn't try ChatGPT. I guess copper rods would have worked fine as the electrodes and the Egyptians are known to have used copper.
SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY
AI says,
If Earth were orbiting a flaring red dwarf star with a million times stronger electric field at Earth's poles, lightning on Earth would likely be much more powerful and frequent. The intense electric field would significantly enhance the conditions for lightning formation4.
Lightning occurs when there is a buildup of electrical charge within clouds or between clouds and the ground. With a dramatically stronger electric field, the threshold for charge separation and discharge would be much lower, leading to more frequent and intense lightning strikes4.
The increased electric field strength would likely result in: 1) More powerful lightning bolts with higher energy discharges; 2) A higher frequency of lightning strikes; 3).Potentially longer-lasting lightning events; 4) Lightning occurring in areas where it might be rare under normal conditions.
However, it's important to note that such an extreme change in Earth's electromagnetic environment would have far-reaching consequences beyond just lightning. The intense flares from a red dwarf star could pose significant challenges to planetary habitability, including potential atmospheric erosion and increased exposure to harmful radiation1,3,5.
TESLA COIL, NO
Maybe the water-powered Tesla coil video was meant to supply the electricity for the ancient electrodes. I guess if the ancient Egyptians could make copper electrodes, they could make a Tesla coil, since copper is preferred for them. I asked AI how to modify a Tesla coil to produce higher amperage in a strong geo-electric field.
AI: A copper Tesla coil would not be the easiest or most effective way to produce high amperage electricity on a planet with a very strong electric field of kV/m, even for a primitive civilization.
Instead, a primitive civilization on a planet with a strong electric field might find it easier and more practical to harness this natural electric field directly using simpler methods, such as:
Static electricity collectors: Large metal structures to accumulate charge from the atmosphere.
Grounded conductors: Long wires or metal rods to create potential differences between different altitudes.
Electrostatic generators: Simple devices like Wimshurst machines or Van de Graaff generators might be more effective in such an environment.
These methods would likely be safer, simpler to construct, and more suitable for producing usable electricity in a high-field environment compared to a Tesla coil.
TWO PROOFS OF HIGHLY ELECTRIFIED ANCIENT ATMOSPHERE?
Since ancient rock art likely proves that plasma apparitions were seen at Earth's poles, those apparitions prove Earth's ancient electric field was over a million times stronger than now. And electrode holes and knobs in ancient stone blocks may prove that electricity could have been produced with ancient tech because of the strong electric field. I discussed a few years ago, I think, that ancient megalithic structures were possibly built to help shield people from a highly electrified environment of the past. AI says there would have been more radioactivity, but I found lately that when creatures are exposed to higher levels of radioactivity, their bodies adapt by repairing DNA damage quickly.
ANCIENT PUZZLE
I used to enjoy putting jigsaw puzzles together. I feel like piecing together ancient history is a lot like that. Cataclysmic history is my favorite puzzle and the pieces seem to be coming together nicely.
RED DWARF FLARES
Red dwarf stars, also known as M dwarfs, experience powerful flares much more frequently and with greater intensity compared to other types of stars, including our Sun1,2. These stellar outbursts, called superflares, are a common characteristic of red dwarfs:
Frequency: Red dwarfs can remain calm for long periods but are prone to erupting with huge superflares1. Young red dwarfs are particularly tumultuous, experiencing 100 to 1,000 times more powerful flares than older red dwarfs2,7.
Intensity: Superflares from red dwarfs have been measured to be 100 to 1,000 times more powerful than similar flares from the Sun1. In some cases, these flares can increase a red dwarf's brightness dramatically in a matter of minutes, with one observed flare from Proxima Centauri being 14,000 times brighter than the star's pre-flare brightness5.
Age factor: Younger red dwarfs, approximately 40 million years old, exhibit flares that are 100 to 1,000 times more energetic than those of older red dwarfs7. However, even as they age, red dwarfs remain more active than larger, more stable stars like our Sun4.
UV radiation: Recent studies have shown that red dwarf flares emit far-ultraviolet radiation levels much higher than previously believed, with far UV emission up to 12 times the expected energy levels3,6.
This high frequency and intensity of flaring activity in red dwarfs is significantly greater than what is observed in other types of stars, making them notably more volatile and potentially challenging for the development of life on any orbiting planets1,4.
FLARE DURATIONS & FREQUENCY
The average duration of a red dwarf flare is approximately 15 minutes. This information comes from a long-term survey of red dwarf stars using the Hubble Space Telescope, which observed 100 flares from 215,000 red dwarf stars over a 7-day period1. The study noted that the average flare durations were about 15 minutes, although some flares occasionally exceeded this duration.
It's important to note that red dwarf flares can vary significantly in intensity and duration. For example, in 2019, Proxima Centauri, our nearest stellar neighbor and a red dwarf, emitted a flare that increased its brightness by 14,000 times in just a few seconds3,5. This demonstrates that while the average duration might be around 15 minutes, individual flares can be much shorter and more intense.
Young red dwarfs flare multiple times per day1. In a study using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers observed 18 flares from 12 young red dwarf stars in only about 10 hours of total observing time. This translates to roughly one flare per star per hour1.
STAR ENCOUNTER
If a young red dwarf star were approaching a sun-like star, it would likely not significantly affect the red dwarf's flaring behavior. Young red dwarfs are already extremely active and prone to frequent, powerful flares regardless of their environment. The flaring activity is primarily driven by the star's internal dynamics and strong magnetic fields, rather than external factors3,7.
If that’s fairly correct, then Saturn or co. could have been flaring for a long time whether it came from outside the solar system or within it.
HOW MANY YEARS OF FLARING?
Young red dwarf stars can continue flaring several times a day for approximately 1.2 billion years. This period represents the most violent flaring phase in a red dwarf's life6. During this early stage of their existence, young red dwarfs (around 40 million years old) are extremely active, with studies showing they can flare roughly once per hour1. These young stars emit superflares that are 100 to 1,000 times more energetic than those of older red dwarfs3,6. Even after this intense initial period, red dwarfs continue to exhibit significant flare activity, though at a reduced frequency and intensity. Some red dwarfs can remain active for billions of years, with even older stars still capable of producing powerful flares5,7.
I doubt that red dwarfs could continue flaring for more than a few centuries, because I think they lose a lot of mass with each flare and I think the mass loss converts them from red dwarfs to gas giant planets, like Saturn or co. seems to have been converted.
MY CONCLUSION
If Saturn were a small red dwarf star that was flaring and keeping Earth’s atmosphere highly electrified, then that might have made it easier to use simple methods to produce electricity locally to melt stone blocks together to build megalithic structures, ironically possibly for protection from frequent lightning strikes at least in some cases. I’ve recently also covered the topic of the ancients using some megalithic structures to direct lightning to improve soil fertility. Apparently, it would have been somewhat simple to use copper rods or wires set at different altitudes to get a fairly strong DC current. Someone needs to do an experiment using copper electrodes to try to melt two large stone blocks enough to fit together with no gaps. The video says the blocks could even be levitated by reversing charge on one or both electrodes. I’d like to see that too. I’ll believe it when I see it, although Charles Chandler said the wind with a tornadic thunderstorm can charge objects enough to levitate them (by removing electrons, I think). He showed pictures of cars that were lifted up and set down on other cars or on fences etc. Now I need to try to figure out if such technology was likely available before the Great Flood (5,200 years ago, apparently). And figure out a lot of other stuff like that.
