Electromagnetic Properties
Full Description
Studies have shown the Great Pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy in its internal chambers and beneath its base. The pyramid shape appears to create resonant conditions for radio-frequency waves.

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...
Piezoelectric Properties of Granite
The King's Chamber is constructed entirely of Aswan red granite, which contains a high percentage of quartz crystals (~55%). Quartz is strongly piezoelectric — it generates an electric charge when mechanically stressed, and conversely, vibrates when an electric field is applied. The 70+ granite beams in the chamber and relieving chambers collectively contain thousands of tonnes of piezoelectric...
Electromagnetic Focusing by Pyramid Shape
A 2018 study published in the Journal of Applied Physics (Balezin et al.) demonstrated that the Great Pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy in its internal chambers and beneath its base at specific wavelengths. Using multipole analysis, researchers showed the pyramid acts as a resonant cavity for radio-frequency electromagnetic waves in the 200-600 meter wavelength range. The study...
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...
Giza vs Teotihuacan — Dimensional Coincidence
The Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, Mexico (built ~100 CE) has a base perimeter of approximately 893 meters and a height of 65.5 meters. Its base side (223 m) is within 3% of the Great Pyramid's base (230 m). More remarkably, its base perimeter divided by twice its height gives: 893 / (2 × 65.5) = 6.82, while π × 2.17 = 6.82, encoding π through a different geometric relationship. 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...

Piezoelectric Granite and Electromagnetic Energy Concentration
The King's Chamber is constructed entirely from Aswan red granite — approximately 100 blocks weighing 25-80 tonnes each, transported 800 km from the Aswan quarries. This granite has unusually high quartz content (~55%). Quartz (SiO2) is strongly piezoelectric: it generates an electric field when...

The Schumann Resonance Connection: Earth's Electromagnetic Heartbeat
The Schumann resonances are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of Earth's electromagnetic spectrum. They are generated by lightning discharges in the cavity formed between Earth's surface and the ionosphere. The fundamental frequency is approximately 7.83 Hz, with...
