Great Pyramid of Giza Can Concentrate Electric and Magnetic Energy

According to scientists, the Great Pyramid of Giza's chamber can focus small areas of energy.

The enigmatic building dates back thousands of years, but researchers are only now discovering its secret powers.

Scientists have found that the Great Pyramid of Giza can concentrate electromagnetic energy at its base and in its chambers.

The oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the 139m (456ft) structure was constructed by the ancient Egyptians more than 4,500 years ago.

The pyramid, which is thought to have been built as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu, also known as Cheops, is still a mystery that experts are still trying to unravel.

A research team led by academics from ITMO University in the Russian city of St. Petersburg made the discovery of its capacity to concentrate electric and magnetic energy.

To gauge the pyramid's electromagnetic response, a model of it was built.

The model was used to examine how wave energy is dispersed or absorbed by the pyramid, and the team experimented with interactions using waves with resonant lengths between 200 and 600 meters.

Researchers claim that the same science could be applied to develop more effective sensors and solar cells if the ability of the pyramid to concentrate energy can be replicated on a nanoscale scale.

According to the study, which was written up in the Journal of Applied Physics, pyramidal objects that are supported by multipole resonances and are situated on a substrate can significantly reduce the reflection of incident electromagnetic waves.

This could be applied to earth conditions to regulate radio wave propagation and reflection.

"For suitable material and geometrical parameters, such a behavior can be realized in different spectral ranges due to the scaling properties. ".

Egyptian pyramids have long drawn a lot of interest, according to Dr. Andrey Evlyukhin, scientific coordinator and research supervisor.

We scientists decided to consider the Great Pyramid as a particle dissipating radio waves resonantly because we were also intrigued by them.

"We had to make some assumptions because we didn't have a lot of information about the pyramid's physical characteristics.

For instance, we made the assumption that the pyramid has no undiscovered cavities and that the building material, which has the characteristics of regular limestone, is distributed equally both inside and outside.

"Using these presumptions, we were able to produce intriguing results that have significant practical implications. ".
