King's Chamber & Relieving Chambers, Great Pyramid
Acoustic Resonance of the King's Chamber
Full Description
The King's Chamber is a precision-tuned resonant cavity. The granite coffer resonates at ~438Hz (within 2Hz of concert pitch A=440). The chamber has a fundamental resonance near 121Hz. The five relieving chambers above form a coupled oscillator system, each tuned to a different harmonic. The Subterranean Chamber functions as a Helmholtz resonator generating infrasound below 20Hz — frequencies known to alter human consciousness, cause visual disturbances, and induce feelings of awe.
These features make zero sense for a burial chamber. They are consistent with a structure designed to manipulate sound, vibration, and potentially human brain states through controlled infrasound exposure. The five-stage coupled oscillator system above the King's Chamber has no parallel in any tomb, anywhere in the world, at any point in history.

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...
Acoustic Resonance of the King's Chamber: Measured Frequencies
Acoustics engineer Tom Danley conducted measurements inside the King's Chamber in the 1990s and discovered that the room has a fundamental resonant frequency centered near 121 Hz (F#), with strong harmonics. The entire chamber behaves as a precision-tuned resonant cavity. The hollowed granite sarcophagus (the "coffer") in the King's Chamber, when struck, produces a resonant tone at approximately...
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 subjected to mechanical stress, and conversely, deforms when an electric field is applied. The Great...
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 harmonics at approximately 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz. The King's Chamber has a complex resonant...

The Five Relieving Chambers: A Coupled Oscillator Stack Above the King's Chamber
Directly above the King's Chamber lie five additional chambers, stacked vertically, each separated by massive granite beams. These are called "relieving chambers" because their conventional purpose is to relieve the weight of the pyramid above the King's Chamber ceiling. THE CHAMBERS (bottom to...
