[AGTRT-BA25] Is the theory that the Great Pyramid was a power plant really that implausible?

Androgyny-Based Gender Theory (ABGT) makes the claim that masculinity and femininity are two different forms of knowledge that balance with each other in the secondary gender identity (SGI). Masculinity is cognitive-rational knowledge; femininity is emotional-intuitive knowledge (see also AGTRT-BA24). Humanity, according to ABGT, is a matriarchal species, which organizes masculine and feminine knowledge “by nature” horizontally in the psyche of individual members and in the social structure as a whole.

According to ABGT, humans suddenly became patriarchal 12,800 years ago, possibly as a result of a major comet impact as described in the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH, see also AGTRT-BA4). This has led to male and female knowledge being organized vertically with the former dominating over the latter. As a result, patriarchally socialized humans have lost access to feminine knowledge.

This raises the question of whether humanity has now lost all kinds of more spiritual forms of knowledge and technology. The wildest stories circulate about this in all sorts of conspiracy theories, but fiction and reality are often hard to distinguish there. ABGT provides tools for looking at such discussions in new ways, separating wheat from chaff. The same can be said, for example, of the discussions about the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau in Egypt.

According to engineer Christopher Dunn, the Great Pyramid was once a power plant. He wrote that in his book The Giza Power Plant from 1998. The most interesting and credible part of his theory is the hypothesis that the pyramid acts as an oscillator tuned to the earth’s natural vibration. How electricity must then have been generated from this fact and how that electricity was then used by machines, for example, is less convincing and often downright weakly substantiated by Dunn. Indeed, most of the claims about this lack any evidence.

The YouTube channel Lines in Sand provides an excellent critical review of Christopher Dunn’s work.

Dunn additionally claims there is evidence that machine tools were used in construction. As far as I can assess it now, all evidence for this has now been convincingly refuted, as also substantiated by the YouTube channel Lines in Sand. So no machine tools. For that matter, how the pyramid did get built remains mysterious, and it certainly seems to have used techniques we do not possess today, especially now that there is new evidence that no ramp was used to move materials uphill.

Dunn is also known for his hypothesis that the pyramids on the Giza Plateau may be much older than 4,500 years. In this, Dunn is not alone, and I have long considered this hypothesis as well, but I still do not find good evidence for it. Surely it really seems that the Great Pyramid was indeed commissioned by Khufu 4500 years ago (not longer ago).

However, I do find credible Graham Hancock’ s contention that there was “something” already standing in the same place before the pyramids were built that has been built on. The sphinx may well be a lot older than Egyptology assumes, perhaps even more than ten thousand years older. The ancient Egyptians would then have only modified the head of the sphinx. The gigantic and mysterious tunnel complex under the Giza Plateau may also be thousands of years older than the pyramids (see also AGTRT-BA10).

So in many ways Dunn was not entirely correct or even outright wrong. Yet it is too premature to completely jettison his theory of the Great Pyramid as a power plant. First, it is likely that the pyramid had not just one function, but many at once. It is widely believed in Egyptology that the pyramid performed the function of the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, which, by the way, has recently been given new (and, in my view, for the first time, somewhat credible) evidence by the YouTube channel History for GRANITE.

The YouTube channel History for GRANITE last month published an impressive study of the pyramid’s function as a tomb, and comes up with the hypothesis that the pyramid functioned from the beginning as an open tomb that could be visited by visitors and tourists to make offerings.

I’m still skeptical about the idea that the Great Pyramid was once a tomb, but even if it fulfilled that function, the structure undoubtedly had other functions as well. For example, in alternative knowledge networks, possible functions mentioned include an astronomical observatory, a repository of knowledge, a machine for generating or healing with energy and sound, or a factory for producing chemicals.

Also from the success of the recent documentary The Primordial Code by Dutchman Marijn Poels shows that there are still all sorts of unsolved mysteries about the pyramids, among others, that continue to capture the imagination and raise fundamental existential questions that cry out for answers. How were the pyramids built? For what purpose? What do these unimaginable structures say about our relationship with our ancestors and the universe?

For many years, all sorts of theories have circulated that associate the Great Pyramid with the generation of energy. For example, Nikola Tesla is said to have been on the trail of the secrets of the Great Pyramid and used them for his Wardenclyffe Tower in New York, with which he wanted to build a worldwide wireless communication system that would also allow free electricity to be transmitted around the world by sending and receiving signals through the earth’s ionosphere.

There are all sorts of conspiracy theories circulating on the Internet stating that Nikola Tesla had cracked the secrets of the Great Pyramid and used them for his inventions.

Tesla’s work was reportedly intercepted and confiscated by the CIA after his death. These theories are often made little concrete, and it is difficult to judge what is true and what is not, but that Tesla was interested in spirituality and Eastern philosophy, and that he drew inspiration from them in his groundbreaking work, is certain.

So there are a lot of wild theories going around about the Great Pyramid and energy generation, far from being well-founded. Nevertheless, I think it is plausible that the Great Pyramid (also) had the function of some kind of machine. I think there is sufficient reason to think that its function was something in the area of power generation. Otherwise, the remarkable design, the use of some materials (such as granite with quartz crystals and limestone) and the connection with the tunnels under the plateau cannot be properly explained.

But perhaps the function of the pyramid was not literally to generate electricity as we know it since the industrial revolution, but more to influence the earth’s electromagnetic field and other bioelectric activity. This more subtle form of energy is probably related to human consciousness, especially what is called “feminine consciousness” in spiritual circles. This is the part of consciousness that functions unconsciously and subtly, relating to intuition, symbolism and archetypes. Thus, this relates to feminine knowledge in the SGI (see also AGTRT-BA24).

So the pyramid in that case was not literally a modern power plant as Dunn suggests, but a machine to influence and perhaps raise the consciousness of visitors or even the collective consciousness of humanity through influencing natural electromagnetic fields.

It is clear that there were initiates among small groups of the elite in ancient Egypt who had very advanced knowledge of both science and spirituality and that this knowledge was a lot more advanced than the knowledge of mainstream institutions and everyday belief in ancient Egypt.

In the documentary The Pyramid Code, professor emeritus Carmen Boulter (University of Calgary) explains the links she sees between the Egyptian pyramids and mystical wisdom.

There is evidence that hermetics, for example, dates back to ancient Egypt, and perhaps even further back, possibly even before the end of the last Ice Age, 12,000 years ago (see also AGTRT-BA3). Possibly there have always been small groups of initiates who have transmitted very ancient knowledge and wisdom from prehistoric matriarchal civilizations over the millennia (see also AGTRT-BA9 and AGTRT-BA10).

Read more about my forthcoming book Androgynous Humanity, in which I substantiate the hypothesis that humans lived in matriarchal relationships before 12,000 years ago, and that we can currently switch back from patriarchy to that matriarchal foundation:

This then involves knowledge about the relationship between fundamental masculine and feminine qualities of the universe, such as the relationship between consciousness and matter described in hermetics. Hermeticism can be seen as one of the inspirations of modern science. This knowledge ended up, for example, in Carl Jung’s analytic psychology, which ABGT is strongly inspired by (see AGTRT-BA24).

If the knowledge of the elite of ancient Egypt is indeed somehow relatable to the Hermetic tradition, then perhaps the Great Pyramid is best understood in alchemical terms. Indeed, alchemy (part of hermetics) links consciousness, energy and chemical reactions. In this way, it can also be explained that the relatively new YouTube channel The Land of Chem nevertheless finds all sorts of interesting clues to the idea that chemical reactions took place on a large scale in the pyramids on the Giza Plateau.

The YouTube channel Lines in Sand discusses some alternative theories about the Great Pyramid as a machine or factory in this video.

Surely anyone who looks closely at the work of John Anthony West must come to the conclusion that ancient Egypt did have specialized knowledge about energy and consciousness that we have now lost. Not everyone had this knowledge, but small groups of people at the top of ancient Egyptian society did. It is likely that they had an important hand in the construction of all kinds of gigantic structures, including the Great Pyramid.

From a hermetic-alchemical perspective, the many functions of the Great Pyramid may be best explained. From that perspective, the pyramid could fulfill many of the mentioned functions simultaneously: the function of ritual memorial place to connect with the deceased (like the pharaoh), the function of consciousness-expanding and healing clinic, the function of producing chemicals and metals through (al)chemical processes, and the function of energy source that could be linked to bio-electricity, possibly even the earth’s electromagnetic field.

Chistopher Dunn is often ridiculed and clearly his theory rattles, but you certainly can’t dismiss it outright either, as modern science likes to do.
