When you use the pyramid inch, supposedly discovered by Isaac Newton, to measure the great pyramid at Giza, an astounding array of accurate measurements can be decoded.

The pyramid inch, or "PI", is 1.0011 inches, or 1.0010846752 British inches.

Here's a small list of these measurements:

  1. The Great Pyramid is located at the center of the land mass of the earth. The east/west parallel that crosses the most land and the north/south meridian that crosses the most land intersect in two places on the earth, one in the ocean and the other at the Great Pyramid.

  2. Length of year: The length of a base side is 9131 pyramid inches measured at the mean socket level, or 365.24 pyramid cubits, which is the number of days in a year. [9131/25 = 365.24, accurate to 5 digits] note: 365.24 is the length of the Tropical Year, not the Julian year, which is 365.25 days long.

  3. Value of Pi: The perimeter of the base divided by twice the height = Pi to 5 decimal places [9131x4/5813x2 = 3.141579+]

  4. Mass of the Earth: The weight of the pyramid is estimated at 5,955,000 tons. Multiplied by 10^15 gives a reasonable estimate of the earth's mass (The mass of the earth is thought to be approximately 5.972 sextillion tons. Both of these numbers are estimates).

  5. The Great Pyramid is constructed so as to maintain a constant temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also "tuned" to the note F#. The F# chord was supposedly important in ancient Egyptian lore and was equated with the harmonics of our planet.

  6. Mean Distance to Sun: The height of the pyramid (including the missing capstone) times 10^9 represents an approximation of the mean radius of the earth's orbit around the sun, or Astronomical Unit (AU). [5813 pyramid inches x 10^9 ≈ 91,850,000 miles. AU= 92,955,807.3 mi]

  7. The 3 Pyramids at the Giza complex mirror the Orion Constellation: The pyramid positions on the ground are a reflection of the positions of the stars in the constellation Orion circa 10,400 B.C.

  8. If the height of the pyramid is taken as the radius of a circle, then the circumference of this circle is the same as the perimeter of the base. This provided the complimentary squaring of a circle and circling of a square. The key to this relationship is knowledge of the value of Pi and designing the angle of the pyramid to be exactly 51 degrees, 51 minutes, and 14.3 seconds. Circumference=2πr=2π(5813)=36524. Perimeter=9131x4=36524. This number is also almost exactly 100 times the length of days in the year!

    Christoper Dunn has written two excellent books on the subject that the pyramid at Giza could function as a power plant, here's a link to the first

    Joseph P. Farrell has taken that hypothesis further in this book by claiming the Great Pyramid could also function as a super-weapon

    Farrell also demonstrates that even minute measurements like Planck's constant seem to be encoded in the pyramid as well, suggesting it was created by a civilization that had achieved extreme scientific sophistication.

    Here's a lovely little snippet from Wikipedia:

    "The Great Pyramid at Giza...was built with a perimeter of approximately 1760 cubits and a height of 280 cubits; the ratio 1760/280 is about equal to 2π. A few pyrimdologists [sic] conclude from this value that the pyramid builders had knowledge of π and deliberately designed the pyramid to incorporate the value. However, mainstream historians believe that ancient Egyptians had no concept of π and that it is merely a coincidence that the ratio of perimeter to height is about 2π."

    Still think it's all a coincidence?

    Edit: fixed typos and added #8 and the wikipedia quote from the article on "Pi"

If you've read Giza Power Plant, you're familiar with the thesis that the Great Pyramid is just a big maser, powered by harmonic resonance. It's really not that different from HAARP or any other ionospheric heater.

As for weather and your emotional state, yes, these are correlated, but it's no conspiracy. Given millions of years of evolution, your body is attuned to its environment in ways that make no sense to the modern world. When the weather is lousy out, its an evolutionary advantage that you become sluggish - for your thousands of generations of ancestors, chilling out in bad weather meant that they had a better chance of surviving and having offspring.

The resonant frequency of your brain has nothing to do with HAARP. This tech is intrinsically about modifying the ionosphere, which sits above where any weather mod program would be interested in.

>I "keep making large claims" ?

Well, two large claims: that ancient cultures had technology at their disposal far beyond what we imagine, and that some Egyptian obelisks have markings that could only be created with laser precision. These aren't statements that should be tossed around haphazardly without honest investigation.

EDIT: Sorry! I hadn't realized this is the first time you posted! You made one large claim, not two.

Your link is from Christopher Dunn's official website. He is a machinist, craftsman, and author, most notable for his book The Giza Power Plant, where he claims that no tools or knowledge existed that would account for the precision of the stonework, and that the pyramids harnessed earth energy using vibrations and sounds.

Christopher Dunn agreed to a debate with Margaret Morris 12 years ago, but unfortunately, he never showed. His theories have been openly challenged (here's a podcast and an article to start), and no engineers, archaeologists, or ancient historians have stepped up to support his claims.

These are the reasons why I can't accept your link as evidence that the pyramids were built by unknown technology and knowledge. The observations of one author, with a background in machinery and craftsmanship, is not enough to prove that extraterrestrials exist. It only proves what he believes about the architecture that he has observed.

my ability to explain it is subpar to all the places i've read about it. if you wish to read about it, the books i'd point you to would be The Giza Powerplant, http://www.amazon.com/The-Giza-Power-Plant-Technologies/dp/1879181509 & Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt: Advanced Engineering http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Technologies-Ancient-Egypt-Engineering/dp/1591431026/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y

if you google a bit, you can find the epub/pdf/mobi versions of these books easily enough, and read them to make your own oppinion. But once you read these books, be prepared to roll your eyes each time some 'fact' about egypt is brought up. Its infuriating. And quite amazing to believe this tech existed.

Have you ever read anything by Christopher Dunn? If not you should try The Giza Power Plant at least. If you liked "The Pyramid Code" you would probably find this quite the read!
