A new discovery in Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza suggests the structure was not just a pharaoh's final resting place, but also a giant power plant.

Scientists blasted the 4,600-year-old structure with electromagnetic waves, a form of radiation that travel though the universe, finding it focused and amplified the energy into specific chambers and around the base.

Electromagnetic waves are used in such research because the radiation interacts with matter in unique ways, allowing experts to probe specific details about a structure's composition, arrangement and dynamics.

The waves built up as energy in the King's chamber, the Queen's chamber, and an unfinished chamber beneath the structure. Scientists concluded the Pyramid may have been a gigantic resonator that was designed to trap electromagnetic waves.

Retired aerospace engineer Christopher Dunn, who has spent years analyze the pyramid, recently shared that research like this suggests there was a greater purpose behind the building the structure.

Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience in April 2024, Dunn said the Northern Shaft of the pyramid has an appearance similar to a ube-like structure used to transmit microwaves and electromagnetic energy.

'That's a part of the theory in the Giza power plant,' he said. 'There are two chemicals that are introduced into the chamber, and the chemicals mix, and they boil off hydrogen [to create energy].'

As for the purpose of turning this structure into a giant clean energy power plant, scientists of the study said it's still a mystery - but the Egyptians may have been much more advanced than anyone thought.

'I don't think there's any part of that pyramid that did not serve a practical function,' Dunn told Rogan.

Dunn spent 30 years conducting computer analyses of the pyramids, landing on the theory that the ancient Egyptian builders had access to highly refined tools, modern construction techniques, and even mega-machines - despite there being no archaeological record of their use 

The 2018 study, conducted by researchers from ITMO University in Russia, focused on the response of the pyramid to waves with wavelengths between 656 and 1,968 feet, a range commonly associated with radio frequencies. 

Researchers modeled the pyramid as if it were in an enormous environment - meaning they ignored external factors like the Earth's atmosphere or the surrounding landscape - and then examined how the pyramid interacted with incoming waves.

They also conducted their electromagnetic experiments under a more realistic condition in which the pyramid was sitting on top of a limestone surface - similar to its actual location on the Giza Plateau.

The results revealed that the internal structure of the pyramid, including its three chambers, can gather and focus electromagnetic energy received from these waves.

In their theoretical models, when the waves at these specific frequencies interacted with the pyramid, they excited what scientists call 'multipole resonances.'

These are patterns of electromagnetic activity that depend on the shape and material of the object in they're colliding with.

The study showed that the King's Chamber, located near the center of the Great Pyramid, concentrated electromagnetic energy more effectively than the other chambers.

In the more realistic scenario where the pyramid sits on limestone substrate, the electromagnetic energy focused underneath the structure, suggesting that the base of the pyramid could have played a critical role in distributing energy. 

Dunn claimed the Queen's chamber was 'a reaction chamber... where the hydrogen was produced.'

'The hydrogen filled the interior spaces of the Great Pyramid, which included the King's chamber,' he told Rogan. 

As for what the Great Pyramid was collecting and what it was gathering it for, Dunn noted that Earth is constantly bombarded by microwaves, possibly from atomic hydrogen dating all the way back to the Big Bang itself.

Interestingly, the ancient Egyptians would not have been able to pour hydrogen atoms into the pyramid.

So, Dunn theorizes that they would have used to two separate chemicals, poured down the shafts into the Queen's chamber, which mix and then boil off hydrogen particles - triggering the energy resonance.

As for what those chemicals would have been and how the ancient Egyptians would have known how to do all this is still unclear.

Meanwhile, the Russian researchers believe there are some real-world practical applications that may come from their discovery in Giza.

Using what they learned from the Great Pyramid, the ITMO team said their next goal was to design their own nanoparticles that could recreate the same effects in the radio frequency range.

Those tiny particles, in theory, could help develop new sensors and highly effective solar cells.
