I agree with ElectricMucus, most of this stuff just falls out of architectural necessity. With a pyramid, you basically have three dimensions, width, length and height. If you go to ratios, that only gives you two variables. So when people pull a dozen numbers out of ratios on a pyramid, you know they're working too hard.

Whilst there's no doubt that many older civilizations were more sophisticated than we give them credit for, there's also often not any particular reason to ascribe things to advanced mathematics. If I recall correctly, the slope of the pyramids is the same as that of sand allowed to fall into a pile. That doesn't require fancy engineering, merely observation and measurement.

Hehe, just like I ask this question to any new ager when bringing up the word energy I ask you this:

What form of energy are you talking about?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

I invite you to watch the video I just linked Smiley

Stopped when they showed the usual false claim of the Fibonacci spiral in a nautilus shell which is in fact a logarithmic spiral.
Of course it's not pure coincidence that the great pyramid has certain numbers in them, they appear as part of the architectural process, which the video also demonstrated. That does not mean they put those numbers in there on purpose, but rather they happened to discover them by the task of designing them.

Yes, it might be the other way around indeed, but looking at the level of technology used to construct the pyramids it is unlikely that civilization that built them only discovered those numbers in the process of construction. It is much more likely that numbers were encoded into the shape of the pyramid, not just for the coolness of it, but because the shape with such characteristics would have certain vibrational properties and could be used as some sort of resonance device. Also placing the pyramids at certain locations on Earth hints towards that idea, as the Earth itself could be considered a larger resonance device.

There is an amateur research in present time into what is called a space-time antenna designed to tap into a field energy. You can google it and see that it consists of two self penetrating cones and there are some preliminary results showing some anomalies with certain geometric configurations and frequencies. So maybe in the same way, the shape of the pyramid was crucial for the purposes it was built.

Pyramids are much more mysterious than what meets the eye.
If you look at how nature's core numbers like Pi and Phi are encoded into it,
you would hardly think that someone would put so much effort into something that would be just a lightning rod.

According to the Ra material--purportedly--they were a gift from a interdimensional civilization but they left once they realized we couldn't handle the technology. It was suggested that the pyramids were crystal-based devices that allowed humans to grasp the concept of absolute infinity and thus the universe and life itself. One would have to enter the center of the pyramid and be led through ritual. However, the higher echelons of the Egyptian empire kept this capability to themselves and just let the pyramids serve mainly as fancy palaces.

This would explain the use of the pyramid symbolism in finance among other things.  

Of course, this is all just religious theory.
Not to pick on you man. But these are baseless. Who said any of these things, Scientists, historians, Egyptologists? Crystal alien device... Pft.. Indeed.  Roll Eyes
Feel free to pick on me. They are indeed baseless claims. There are those who believe they can channel or act as a voice for interdimensional entities and we get theories like the one I just stated.

Interesting nonetheless. I don't believe nor disbelieve. I simply observe and discuss with an open-mind.

... Also, there is evidence of a cover-up among Egyptologists to hide something, perhaps this link.
That makes no sense whatsoever. "Hey guys let's all throw away our careers to participate in a world wide hoax!" What is with people that they could entertain such a ridiculous idea?

What if the lightning was originally a big problem, and they thought it would go on forever so they built a thing just to attract it and dissipate the energy. Now it almost never rains there so noone cares.
  for these people to build these things and expect the lightning to last for ever doesn't really stroke in intelligence. If it was a "lightning rod" it would be more likely to "collect" the lightning but why build 2.5 million stoned blocked lightning rod. I doubt if it was just a lightning rod.

There is a theory that the pyramids were giant water pumps


And I thought the pyramids were spaceships for the Pharaoh to visit his kittens on the Moon. Hmm...

I dunno about the lightning rod idea being impossible because lets face it, lightning is electricity.

I guess the trick would be finding metal that's good enough to absorb it without immediately disintegrating from a direct hit and electronics etc. being able to withstand such a massive jolt, wish I knew the figures behind it, in order for it to work though we'd probably have to discover a new metal or element of some sort Tongue

So you don't think harvesting energy from lightning is possible? A giant pyramid would not be the ideal way to do this, or what is your angle? How should we try it?

Well lightning is a rapid discharge, so no harvesting lightning isn't feasible I think.
Harvesting atmospheric electricity over time could be viable, it is said that was telsas goal but its also unclear what he really was upto during the end of his life.
