The Star Shafts as a Targeting System: Function Over Symbolism
Full Analysis
CONVENTIONAL VIEW: The shafts are symbolic "soul passages" for the pharaoh's ka.
THE PROBLEM: Symbolic passages do not need:
- 1-degree angular precision through 60+ meters of stone
- Copper hardware on blocking doors
- Perfect alignment to specific stellar targets at the construction epoch
- Sealed ends (blocking the soul's passage defeats the symbolic purpose)
FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS:
The four shafts point at four different stellar targets. Each shaft connects to a different chamber (King's or Queen's). The shafts from the Queen's Chamber are sealed and contain chemical residue. The shafts from the King's Chamber are open to the exterior.
If the Queen's Chamber shafts carried chemical reagents IN, and the King's Chamber shafts directed energy OUT, the entire system is a flow diagram:
- INPUT: Chemicals in via Queen's shafts → reaction in Queen's Chamber → hydrogen rises
- PROCESSING: Hydrogen enters King's Chamber → piezoelectric excitation → energy output
- OUTPUT: Energy exits via King's shafts, aimed at specific stellar targets
The shaft angles are not random — they define the output direction. If the pyramid produced coherent electromagnetic radiation, the northern King's shaft would direct it toward the celestial pole (always visible, always "on target"), while the southern shaft would target Orion's Belt (rising and setting with the seasons).
CROSS-MATCH WITH SPEED OF LIGHT:
A structure that encodes the speed of light in its latitude, encodes Earth's dimensions in its proportions, and aims its output channels at specific stars is consistent with one purpose: communication. A beacon transmitting at the hydrogen line frequency (1420MHz), aimed at the celestial pole, from a location that encodes c — this is exactly what a SETI protocol would design as a "first contact" transmitter.

The Four Star Shafts: Precise Astronomical Alignments c. 2500 BCE
The Great Pyramid contains four narrow shafts (roughly 20x20 cm cross-section) that extend from the King's Chamber and Queen's Chamber outward through the body of the pyramid at precise angles. These are conventionally called "air shafts," though they do not provide ventilation (the Queen's Chamber shafts were originally sealed at both ends). Using precession calculations to determine the sky as it appeared circa 2500 BCE, researchers (notably Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert, 1994) determined...
The Giza Power Plant: Christopher Dunn's Hydrogen Maser Hypothesis
Christopher Dunn, a British-American master craftsman and precision engineer with decades of experience in aerospace manufacturing, proposed in his 1998 book "The Giza Power Plant" that the Great Pyramid functioned as an acoustically-coupled maser (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) powered by hydrogen gas. Earth's seismic vibrations (constant microseisms at ~7 Hz) enter through the bedrock. The Subterranean Chamber acts as a Helmholtz resonator, amplifying these...

Four narrow shafts extend from the King's and Queen's Chambers at precise angles, targeting specific stars at epoch ~2500 BCE: King's Chamber South → Al Nitak (Orion's Belt) at ~45 deg King's Chamber North → Thuban (pole star c. 2787 BCE) at ~32.5 deg Queen's Chamber South → Sirius (brightest star, Isis) at ~39.5 deg Queen's Chamber North → Kochab (Beta Ursae Minoris) at ~39 deg These alignments...
Chemical Residue: Zinc Chloride and Hydrochloric Acid
The Queen's Chamber walls are coated with thick salt encrustations (up to 12mm). The south shaft contains traces consistent with zinc chloride (ZnCl2). The north shaft contains traces consistent with hydrochloric acid (HCl). These are the exact two chemicals needed to produce hydrogen gas: Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2. The Queen's Chamber also contains a large corbelled niche (4.67m high) of unknown...
The Hydrogen Line: 1420 MHz Universal Frequency
If the Great Pyramid generated hydrogen gas (chemical evidence supports this) and used piezoelectric transduction to excite it (granite evidence supports this), the natural emission frequency of hydrogen atoms is 1420 MHz — the "hydrogen line." This frequency is the most famous in radio astronomy. It is the frequency SETI uses to search for extraterrestrial intelligence because it is universal —...
