This is fascinating. Something doesn't really add up with the story of the pyramids that we're typically told; I think this is a plausible theory.

sorry... I had to skip over your whole post to tell you what sits on my NIGHT STAND and what I read a little from each night... THE ARTIST'S WAY!!! I have been thinking for months now, it would be really cool to post some of the thoughts that enter my mind while reading that book.. being that I am an artist... KNOWING that we all are CREATIVE BEINGS.

Excellent. Any theory which rests on the idea that the "elites" keep wealth and power for themselves makes perfect sense to me.

I am not very well versed on the subject, but the idea that the pyramids were built as tombs for a single pharoah always rang false for me on a basic intuitive level. Of all of the theories I have heard, the power plant theory is the most interesting. Thanks for the heads up on the episode, I will check it out.

Totally with you John. Have you heard of Nassim Haramein? He's the head of the Resonance Science Foundation. Some years ago he took a group of people into a pyramid and did some chanting. Here's the link to an interview between him and Foster Gamble. The Egypt stuff starts at 20 min https://www.youtube.com/live/k3GYwKYmZtc?si=XOcoUDpswOyrBC91

A pedantic note, the Pyramid shown (with capstone remnants still intact) is not the Great Pyramid it appears taller because of the plateau. The great pyramid is the other big one.

All evidence points toward it being a power plant as it was not a burial place for Pharos, they were built long before they were a thing.

I own a small Tesla machine which are superb machines for healing everyday issues, the larger ones used to be in every hospital, dentists and hairdressers before……big pharma wanted to make money with drugs for life.

Unfortunately the pyramid shown was what the AI image generator came up with when I tried to make it create the image of the power plant with a gold capstone. It was the closest I was getting so i just went with it.

I need one of those Tesla machines!

Yes I get that, most images like to show the middle one with the capstone on it.

Thanks for the research and the share. Current worldwide dependence on oil has made quite a mess of geopolitics. Not necessarily the oil itself, but the way it's handled. Energy as political power is a subject with which I'm having fun while writing a magical realistic novel, "The Fenoke."

Thanks John. I seem to have an aversion to self-promotion so talking about my writing is awkward. "The Fenoke" is a translation of one of my screenplays. I'm teaching myself prose and am publishing a serialized version in 5-6 minute reads here on Substack. Energy production is one of the themes of the story and I'm not totally set on the ending as yet. So, your work is inspiring for me in that respect.

It’s not awkward, it’s awesome! You’re doing something great be proud of it. The fact that your publishing it in a serialized version here is already a step ahead of anyone scared of doing that with their fiction (like me lol).

Besides my novels I’ve had an idea that I really want to turn into a screenplay but don’t know where to start. Haven’t written a script since high school.

Viki King's "How to Write a Movie in 21 Days" is a good place to start. I don't pay much attention to the 'buy a pair of lucky sox' advice or the 21-day clock. What she offers that I appreciate is an action structure based on the characters' personalities.

I’ve always like hancock and, later, Dunn, with their search for truth. I honestly feel nowadays that neither of them go far enough. John Anthony West may have been closer to the truth although his dating (24000-ish years ago) might itself be too “new”. So many mysteries!

I like John Anthony West a lot, mostly because we share the same first and middle names lol. I haven’t actually researched him all that much outside of hearing references of him from Hancock and co. Have any suggestions from him?

Hi, John Anthony, sorry for the slow reply. J. A. West has appeared on Rogan a couple of times, unfortunately perhaps not at his best, though (health-wise). His most important work is “Serpent in the Sky” which is an explication of his understanding of ancient Egypt as garnered through his own extensive research and reading of the Alsatian (I think) egyptologist and esotericist, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz. I read West’s work a number of years ago and quite a bit of Schwaller. I actually don’t recall what West mentions about the potential dating of the pyramids, etc., in that work because it was written before he met the geologist, Robert Schoch, who helped put the Sphynx much deeper in the past -- compellingly, too. (I’ll have to look into my copy of “Serpent” again, and see if I can be a bit less vague.) Anyway, West also hosts a terrific documentary series from the late 90s - early 2000s entitled, “Magical Egypt” which was remastered & re-released digitally a few years ago by Robert Bauval. Definitely worth a watch if you can get hold of a copy. Rogan used to pine about how much he loved that docu series and would watch the DVDs over and over, at least annually. The final point worth mentioning about West and, by extension, Schwaller, is that theirs is a “spiritual” approach to ancient Egyptian history, not a “material” one, if I can put it that way.

That show sounds great. I’ll need to hunt it down and watch it. Serpent in the Sky is on my list of reads to get to one day.

I read somewhere about the Giza pyramids having a gold capstone and a smooth coating on the outside, instead of the stepped stones today. These materials might have helped the pyramids generate/harvest and disperse the energy. Thanks for the interesting article, John.

If you do not like the label coincidence, try co-incidence. The events are happening closely, the 2nd way, I feel, removes the dismissive nature of the way people use the 1st.

Just my 2 anti-labelist cents.

Thanks for the comment! You’re right about the exterior of the pyramid. The white limestone exterior was nonconductive, which would help this theory!

I like the co-incidence idea

I found the podcast he did earlier with Danny Jones was actually better then the Joe Rogan podcast he did. As for your statement that Tesla's wireless energy would have brought about some sort of utopia is just speculation. I'm sure the elites would have figured out some other way to keep us under their thumb. I remember hearing a while ago that if Tesla's wireless energy has become the standard, there would have been no computers as we know them today because the wireless waves would have erased hard drives or something to that effect.

So what you’re saying is that we need someone to recreate Tesla’s tower today so we can erase all the hard drives and start over? Doesn’t sound that bad 😂

I bought a violet ray machine about a year ago at an auction. It’s an alternative medicine device Tesla had a hand in creating along with Edgar Cayce. If you don’t know about him, you need to fix that. Absolutely fascinating.

Hell yeah man, I’ve had this thought many times. In fact it is the basis of the underlying event of the story I’m telling. In it, the people of long ago, before the Younger Drias impact used magic much like what you described above. The overused used this magic and the magnetic field that it caused is what drew the asteroids to Earth, bringing with them the parasite known as the “creep”. This parasite was driven deep into the planet and became a part of the genetic code of everything that lives here causing a case of planetary amnesia. Oh and the “creep” is also what is holding up the “tower” and keeping us from our return to paradise.

❤️great write up, looking forward to more.

Whoa, I love it and want to hear more. You NEED to write a piece on that !!

I touch on it in this story. It will eventually be the main plot line for the “characters” that I’ve been developing. The origin story is being born through the rest of the stories. Once I get “good enough” to write it, it will likely write itself.

I hope I live long enough, kind of. 😉

What exactly were they powering? While i can get behind the idea that it was a power collector/generator/distributer i don't see any evidence whatsoever of such energy powering a machine or device?

If a cataclysm wiped out the people that built it it could have taken out whatever it was powering too 🤷🏻‍♂️

But there's nothing been found or shown to be even remotely like such devices. We find earthen pots, stone tools and innumerable other things of all varieties.

You’re not wrong there. That’s why it’s a theory and not a fact. Who knows, maybe it could’ve been used tens of thousands of years ago. If that’s the case we’d never find the stuff.

They have found vases that were carved out of a single piece of granite with handles and a shaped neck, they’re pretty interesting. Definitely suggests that they had machinery we have no evidence of. Give them a search. Dunn and Rogan spoke about them in the beginning of the podcast too.

Either way, we weren’t there so it’s all speculation. All I can say confidently is that the pyramid wasn’t a tomb for Khufu.

That's where the theory of electroculture can come in. So egypt was known to do electroplating which helps enable and also uses batteries. if you can manage to get free electricity and drive it into the crops their productivity would increase severalfold. It would account for the legendary fertility of the nile and the findings that Egypt used to be covered by forests.

The destruction of this energy cycling would then, under this theory, lead to the mass desertification of Egypt since they probably grew reliant on electrical agriculture in the same way we do with petroleum. We got the dust bowl from petroleum abuse, they got their Shara desert.

I think there's a lot to the healing that comes from frequencies generated by such grand structures as well.

Use it to your heart's desire. It was very persuasive when a friend brought up the idea after learning about electroculture.

The power plant thing makes too much sense. I was working in a manufacturing plant looking at the warning signs and the nice pictures of cartoon hands being bent in gears and thought, "Archaeologists 500 years from now would think we wrote and read at a 3rd grade level in tandem with using pictographs"

I am definitely with the power plant theory. If the great pyramids were tombs then they would be more elaborate in their decoration. I've seen some of the tombs in valley of the Kings and they are beautifully finished and designed.

Some people's theory of the pyramids being a tomb for the great Khufu seem very thin with some graffiti supposedly indicating Khufu's intervention or some external hieroglyphics saying similar.

The big shame about the Giza plateau is that it looks part excavated and uncared for. Being a world heritage site you would have thought that we would know everything about every square inch of the place? But, seemingly it has been reduced to a mass money making site with a miniscule amount of the money generated going back into the site.

Also “Dr” Zawwi Hawass in my eyes is a dreaming fraud so I'm inclined to believe anything other than to what he saying.

well, in terms of scale, the Damns are the only equal they pyramids have. And why else do humans build thing all over the place, that require massive resources like this? Only one. and it's not to be buried in. to make life easy for everyone via electricity. The landing sites all over south america, the nazca lines. also not for no reason.

Wanna buy a bridge, Skippy? Why yes, I'm laughing at you but hopefully you can, suck it up buttercup and laugh right back as I most probably believe, or at least suspect eleven more impossible things before breakfast than you do!

Right now, today, Stinko de Mayo 2024 it's rational, reasonable to assume anything government, media, academia, etc. says is false, until and unless one researches and proves otherwise. If such is true the same ruminations should be applied to the past. Question everything, postulate, hypothesize, but realize any conclusions are essentially theories, useful until proven otherwise.

Among my cabinet of curiosities; A rather curious, in my opinion, evolutionary fact is shoulder blades. We all have them, humans, dogs, birds, alligators. It's quite logical we have them, descended from monkeys, shoulder blades are great for hanging and swinging around on tree limbs. One could say shoulder blades. scapulae, are specifically designed for hanging from limbs. However for walking on the ground, a pelvic girdle sitting atop legs is a better design so why don't four legged walkers, if they came first, have two pelvises?

OK John, how much you askin' for the bridge you're sellin' me? Grin.
