Great Pyramid — Subterranean Chamber walls
Water-Limestone Acoustic Impedance Match Yields 49.5% Energy Transfer
Full Description
The acoustic impedance ratio between water and limestone produces near-optimal energy transfer:
Z_water = 1.48e6 Pas/m Z_limestone = 8.75e6 Pas/m Ratio: 5.9:1
Transmission coefficient: T = 4 Z_w Z_l / (Z_w + Z_l)^2 = 0.495
Nearly HALF of all acoustic energy in water transmits into limestone. For comparison:
Air → granite: T = 0.00012 (0.012%)
Water → granite: T = 0.35 (35%)
Water is 4,000x more efficient than air at coupling acoustic energy into stone. This is why the hydraulic ram pump model produces kilowatts while air-coupled seismic input produces only milliwatts. The water is not just the power source — it is also the optimal coupling medium for injecting that power into the stone substrate.

Grand Gallery as Machine Framework
The Grand Gallery is 47 meters long, 8.6 meters tall, and narrows from 2.06 meters at the floor to 1.04 meters at the ceiling through seven corbelled courses. Twenty-seven pairs of slots (niches) line its walls at regular intervals. Christopher Dunn proposes these held resonator assemblies. The gallery's dimensions create a specific acoustic resonance pattern. The ceiling blocks of the Grand...
The Relieving Chambers Mystery
Above the King's Chamber lie five "relieving chambers" — stacked horizontal granite slabs separated by spaces. Conventional theory says they redistribute the weight of the pyramid above. However, the Queen's Chamber (lower and bearing more weight) has no relieving chambers and has survived equally well. The uppermost relieving chamber has a gabled (pointed) granite roof. The spaces between the...
King's Chamber Acoustic Properties
Acoustic research in the King's Chamber has revealed it resonates at specific frequencies. The chamber acts as a resonant cavity, amplifying sounds at its resonant frequency. When a tone is produced inside, the granite walls vibrate sympathetically and sustain the note. The sarcophagus resonates at approximately 438 Hz, close to concert pitch A (440 Hz). Engineer Tom Danley found the chamber...
Schumann Resonance Connection
The Schumann resonances are extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves that exist in the cavity between Earth's surface and the ionosphere, with a fundamental frequency of approximately 7.83 Hz. Some researchers suggest the Great Pyramid was designed to resonate with these natural frequencies. The pyramid's dimensions and the conductivity of its materials (limestone, granite, underground...
The Pyramid as a Multi-Function Device
Rather than serving a single purpose, the Great Pyramid may be a multi-function device: simultaneously a geodetic marker (encoding Earth's dimensions), an astronomical observatory (stellar shaft alignments), a mathematical monument (π, φ, Fibonacci), an acoustic resonator (King's Chamber frequencies), an electromagnetic antenna (pyramid shape focuses EM energy), a chronological marker (precession...
From Power Plant to Cosmic Transmitter: The Complete Energy Pipeline
If the Great Pyramid was a power plant (Dunn, 1998), the question is: power for WHAT? The evidence, when assembled, describes not just a power plant but a TRANSMITTER — a system that converts planetary energy into a directed cosmic signal. Input: Earth's natural vibrations - Seismic microseisms (continuous low-frequency ground motion) - Schumann resonance (7.83 Hz electromagnetic field between...
The Internal Passage System: A Circuit Diagram in Stone
When the Great Pyramid's passages and chambers are mapped as a flow diagram rather than a building plan, a remarkably coherent system emerges: INPUT (Bottom): | v SUBTERRANEAN CHAMBER (Helmholtz resonator, infrasound generator) |-- Dead-End Passage (tuning stub, 16m south) |-- "Bottomless Pit" (water table coupling?) | ASCENDING PASSAGE (junction: sealed by 3 granite plugs) | |-- WELL SHAFT...
The Star Shafts as Directional Antennas: Aimed at Sources, Not Destinations
The Great Pyramid has four narrow shafts extending from the King's and Queen's Chambers toward the exterior. In ~2500 BCE, they pointed at specific stars: Northern shaft → Thuban (Alpha Draconis) — the pole star in 2500 BCE Southern shaft → Al Nitak (Zeta Orionis) — the lowest star in Orion's Belt Northern shaft → Kochab (Beta Ursae Minoris) — circumpolar star Southern shaft → Sirius (Alpha Canis...
