The Mathematical Genius Encoded in the Great Pyramid

The Mathematical Genius Encoded in the Great Pyramid

Across the shifting sands of time, nowhere has remained more mysterious than ancient Egypt. This desert beacon continues to allure millions due to its unsolved secrets, theories, and godlike pharaohs.

But perhaps the greatest reason for Egypt’s enduring popularity is a theory that places the age of this enigmatic land’s monuments so far back in history that Egyptology’s explanations seem untenable. This ultra-ancient origin has led many to surmise that the people who built these physical structures were capable of such an advanced level of engineering, in which they encoded the mathematical principles of life itself.

The architects of ancient Egypt’s monuments were far more purposeful in their proportions, measurements, angles, and equations than most modern-day archaeologists credit them with. There is also the distinct possibility that these architects found a way to naturally harness electricity from the Earth itself.

A Mathematical Code of the Universe? 

While archaeologists have long been infatuated with the construction and grandeur of the Egyptian pyramids, the greatest mystery may have nothing to do with how these structures were precisely designed and crafted, but more about how they were potentially used as powerful devices to generate electrical power.  

The Great Pyramid of Giza features both a shape and location designed to harbor mathematical constants. This same mathematical theory can be found throughout nature and across the universe.  

Nikola Tesla, who sought to tap into the electromagnetic currents of the earth to bring the world unlimited electrical power, was in touch with these same mathematical underpinnings. Like the pyramid builders, Tesla realized Earth is a magnetic generator, spinning around two poles, with the potential to generate limitless energy. 

In 1905, he filed a United States patent, titled “The art of transmitting electrical energy through the natural medium,” and conceptualized designs for a series of generators stationed in strategic sites worldwide that would collect energy from the ionosphere. With its two poles, Tesla saw the earth as a massive electrical generator of limitless energy and designed generators based on the pyramids’ design.

The Key to the Pyramids: Location?

Although Tesla may have rediscovered this key to a timeless, abundant, clean, and eternal source of free electricity, his invention to capture it disappeared when he died in 1943. Why this happened only opens more doors to speculation, including the fact that free energy — whether from solar, wind, or electromagnetic sources — is bad for those in the energy business.  

What’s more astounding is the sophistication of mathematical equations used by the early architects to construct what may be an elaborate electrical generator.

In 2018, a team of scientists from ITMO University, Russia, began to study the Great Pyramid of Giza and its ability to concentrate electromagnetic energy in its internal chambers and under its base. Author Andrew Collins suggests the pyramids are related to the idea of “the music of the spheres,” a connection between the primal tones of the universe itself and their relationship to the creation of form and structure in the physical world. 

To attune and enhance this connection, ancient engineers had to consider certain proportions in the construction of the pyramids, as well as the geometry of the landscape, to accurately reflect specific musical intervals. We are left wondering if ancient builders erected monuments that encoded our human existence. 

Some modern thinkers have hinted at the possibility that perhaps the Egyptian mathematical code is the same as that which Tesla tapped into on his quest to find an unlimited source of energy that harmonized with the Earth.

Looking at the Great Pyramid’s latitudinal location on Earth, Hancock points out that it is located precisely on the 30th degree, halfway between the equator and the north pole. It is also locked into the planet’s true cardinal directions of north, south, east, and west, though there is a very slight discrepancy of 3/60ths of a degree error.

Hancock also points out that if you were to multiply the base perimeter of the Great pyramid (3,024 ft.) by 43,200 you get the Earth’s equatorial circumference. If you multiply its height (481 ft.) by 43,200 you’re left with the polar radius of the Earth. This number, 43,200, is relevant because it represents the axial precession of the Earth or the way in which it wobbles on its axis. 43,200 is a multiple of 72, which is the number of years it takes for one degree of that wobble.

These numbers, 72 and 432, can be found in a number of ancient mythologies and sacred texts, including:

  • 72: the number of languages spoken at the tower of Babel
  • 72: the number of names for God in Jewish Kabbalah
  • 72: the number of temples at Angkor Wat
  • 72: the number of degrees longitude between Angkor Wat and the Great Pyramid
  • 432,000: the number of syllables in the Hindu Rig Veda
  • 432 Hz: the harmonic frequency believed to be an optimal resonance for music

This suggests the ancient Egyptians — as well as others, such as the people of Angkor Wat, the Mayan megalopolis of the Americas, and builders of similar sites all over the planet — may have used a mathematical language we are just now rediscovering. 

Our Mathematical Universe 

To truly crack the code of the ancient pyramids, we may now need to look at the mathematical equations encoded in their architecture. The problem may very well be that we have been looking for answers “out there,” in the universe when the answer to our most pressing problems is inside us.  

Hancock has long argued that the concept of the pyramids has to do with the transformation of human consciousness. Whatever else a pyramid is, he said, it is absolutely an instrument that works on human consciousness. The very construction of the pyramids, powerful and sturdy enough to stand the test of time, ensures that humanity always has the codes to the universe.  

Evidence the Knights Templar Migrated to Brazil

Evidence the Knights Templar Migrated to Brazil

In the heart of Brazil lies a cave with carvings that may rewrite history. Long before Columbus set foot in the New World, a Medieval society had already taken root. Now researchers are looking for what drove this group across the Atlantic Ocean. 

What were they in search of, and what secrets do they now offer the world? A new documentary titled, “The Brazilian Templars Mystery,” sheds light on one of the most overlooked clues to our past and one of the most intriguing and misunderstood cult of warriors — the Knights Templar.

Around 1118 A.D., Hugues de Payens, a French knight, created a military order, along with eight relatives and acquaintances, who became known as the Knights Templar. The order grew rapidly into a large organization of devout Christians during the Middle Ages, charged with an important mission: to protect European travelers on their pilgrimage to the Holy Land and carry out military operations that would ensure a free flow of unhindered pilgrims. 

The members of this colorful order of knights swore oaths of poverty and chastity and wore a distinctive badge bearing a red cross on a white mantle. As pilgrimages grew in intensity, so did the numbers of Templars until they became Medieval Christendom’s leading military order.

Over time, the Templars gained a reputation as a wealthy, powerful, and mysterious order that was well-known for their activities as droves of travelers made their way to the holy sites of Jerusalem. When Christian armies wrested control of Jerusalem in 1099 A.D., the Templars opened the floodgates for more and more pilgrims to join.
