Great job with the research on this one Chris. As I was reading, I was wondering if you were going to mention the missing capstone, or the absence of soot marks from torches, or the lack of hieroglyphics, decorations and treasure which should exist if the pyramid really was a tomb. You covered it all.
Still, though, as compelling as the power plant theory is, there are questions that emerge should we accept it as fact. For instance, what was being powered? Why are there hundreds of pyramids of varying sizes and shapes? The bent pyramid is an interesting anomaly as well as the step pyramid. Then of course, the Mayan and Mesoamerican pyramids which only vaguely resembles their Egyptian counterparts.
There are plenty of unfinished pyramids as well, which are quite curious.
I’m with you on the idea of them being structures of utility, but even if the power plant theory is correct, what was power needed for? Why does alignment matter (Orion?) and wouldn’t it be more practical to build a dam on the Nile than to go through such a painful undertaking that could have taken decades to complete? Questions, questions.
I’m glad you pointed out the Serapeum. Such a bizarre object. Either these boxes were meant to enclose a humanoid figure, or they were intended for another purpose. It’s very curious why sarcophagi exists. Because of how inaccessible the interior of the pyramids are, it makes sense to think that they weren’t intended for human traffic. Therefore, a sarcophagus does not seem necessary to have. Unless perhaps an item inside of them have been removed, much like the capstones were.
I’m not sure about copper wiring, and pointing the finger at Hawass to explain why they are missing. You would think such wiring would already have been discovered long before Hawass came onto the scene.
The electrical theory sounds reasonable as far as explaining function; yet hundreds of other pyramids in Egypt were not in proximity to the Nile. Why were those ones built?
First I’ve heard of obelisks being used as receivers. Hmm. If the pyramids were for wireless power, then certainly no wires would be found.
Also, does the interior of the pyramid speak to an efficient design as far as power generation goes? What is the point of the chambers? Why are there gaps of empty space above each one? To reduce structural pressure?
Anyways, quite the mystery just to figure out what they were for, much less how they were constructed. And the tunnel complex is another thing altogether.
