Was the Great Pyramid a Power Plant?

The Deep End #21

I don’t believe in coincidences. When we open ourselves up to the universe, things seem to start falling into place all around us. This week, Melissa and I started The Artist’s Way—again. Since then, our network has expanded, we started a new project, saw an opportunity to attend a retreat with one of our heroes, and I got some reassurance that I’m definitely not crazy—maybe. I’ll spend the better part of this post explaining why.

As mentioned in the community comments post on Friday,

left a comment on last week’s post that inspired today’s post. Here it is:

My post on Graham Hancock went up on Sunday. In it I included the link to a video by The Why Files which explained what I believed the Great Pyramid of Giza to actually be. I didn’t get into details, since it was a lot to get into, but the title: “TESLA KNEW THE SECRET OF THE GREAT PYRAMID: Unlimited Energy to Power the World” should give you a hint. Here’s the video link for your viewing pleasure in case you missed it last week:

So, that post went up on Sunday, April 28^th. On Tuesday, April 30^th Christopher Dunn (one of the main subjects of the above video) appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience. Coincidence? I think not.

First off, I promise this column is not going to regurgitate Joe Rogan guests every week, but this one was just too much of a coincidence (even though I said I don’t believe in them) to pass up on talking about. When

commented on the Hancock post, I knew I needed to listen to the Chris Dunn episode ASAP, and I was totally correct to do so.

Taken from the biographical section of Mr. Dunn’s website, here’s a little description of the expertise this guy has: “Christopher Dunn has an extensive background as a craftsman, starting his career as an indentured apprentice in his hometown of Manchester, England. Recruited by an aerospace manufacturing company, he immigrated to the United States in 1969. Over the past 49 years, Chris has worked at every level of high-tech manufacturing from machinist, toolmaker, programmer and operator of high-power industrial lasers, Project Engineer and Laser Operations Manager. For the past 16 year, he has served as Human Resource Director for a Midwest aerospace manufacturer.”

Dunn read Peter Thompkins’ book Secrets of the Great Pyramid in 1977. Afterwards, he, like many of you, thought the conventional belief of the pyramid just being a big ol’ tomb for Pharaoh Khufu didn’t make much sense. Not with the type of precision and overall structure the pyramid had. This led him to research and ultimately release his book, The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt in 1998. I won’t get into the science behind it, the video does a much better job of explaining it than I do. Basically, the pyramid would have created a harmonic resonance with the Earth and converted the Earth’s vibrations into microwave radiation.

You may say: if this was the purpose of the pyramid, why can’t we recreate it today? It’s quite simple actually, and brings up the connection between the Great Pyramid and Nikola Tesla: his Wardenclyffe Tower.

Built in Shoreham, Long Island in 1901, the Wardenclyffe Tower was Tesla’s attempt to create unlimited wireless energy. Tesla’s tower would be able to do this by converting the Earth’s vibrations into microwave radiation, just like Dunn theorizes the Great Pyramid did. There was just one problem with Tesla’s idea: money, and lots of it.

JP Morgan was the financier for the Wardenclyffe Tower project. You know him as the guy who holds your money via an app on your smartphone. When Tesla requested funding for the project, Morgan had his hands in nearly every industry the tower would have rendered obsolete. There was no way he would’ve financed the machine that would have put him out of business. There was too much money to be made off coal, oil, and electricity. Tesla would have been selfish to take that money out of Morgan and his ruling class elite peers’ pockets. Naturally, Morgan cut the funding of the project and us humans of this civilization lost the chance at a better world because of it. Not to worry; at least the elites get to keep their money!

Maybe when the pyramid was a power plant, the ancients had a better system of governance than we did. Maybe their ruling class had good hearts and didn’t want people to worry about electric bills. So what happened to these geniuses? Why did the power plant stop working?

Dunn believes the power plant was likely “destroyed” by a cataclysm—likely a meteor impact or worse—that caused the hydrogen the pyramid was working off of to explode and ruin everything. This would have been the same cataclysm that Hancock and others claim happened 12,000 years ago. This also means that the Ancient Egyptians had just found the pyramids, had no idea what they were for, and proceeded to use them as an icon for their pharaoh/god, leading us to the modern day theory of the pyramid being a tomb (which really falls flat under further inspection). Just watch the video, or the podcast if you don’t believe me. Better yet, get Dunn’s book. Mine is in the mail as I write this.

During the podcast, most of the discussion between Dunn and Rogan was centered around Dunn’s power plant theory. Since I haven’t mentioned Graham Hancock in a few sentences, let’s get back to him. Toward the end of the episode Dunn brought up some flaws in Flint Dibble’s argument from the Hancock vs. Dibble debate. For anyone curious, Dunn pointed out (as expected) that Dibble used selective sources, just as he accused Hancock and other “pseudo-archaeologists” of doing. I won’t get into it here, but I think you should give the podcast episode a listen.

So, was the Great Pyramid a power plant? I think so. To me, the idea of it being a tomb just doesn’t sound right. The evidence points to the possibility that it could have functioned just as Tesla’s tower would have. Unfortunately, Big Brother would rather us pay big bucks to keep the lights on at home and doesn’t want any of this information reaching the average Joe—it would ruin their bottom line!

What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments and I promise to come back with a fresh idea next week! Happy Sunday.
