Dear Christopher

Jody Winters sent me your book to review for FTIR. A real blockbuster, excellent usable research. Will review in January/February FTIR.

I have long suspected that future tech has much to learn from ancient tech. My background is Soviet tech (three volumes WESTERN TECHNOLOGY AND SOVIET ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, Stanford Univerisity 1968-1973) Then started a many years exploration of future tech on a private basis reported in FTIR and THE VIEW FROM 4-SPACE (just published book).

Two questions

l. Did Egyptians have a planing device (like our planers) for flat surfaces ? This would need tool steel or sintered carbides I presume.  Or did they grind with an abrasive?

2. On page 153 you mention the five rows of beams with spaces. Could these have been orgone (life energy) accumulators.? The Reich accumulator has alternate layers of organic and inorganic materials. This would account for the dead insects.debris., as the organic materials disintegrated.

My sense is that your book will become a classic once “science” starts to look at  anomalies.

All best wishes, sincerely

ANTONY C SUTTON

I hope you enjoy the book, and look forward to hearing from you after you have read it.

Best,
Chris

Happy Holidays!!

I’ve now read your book. Wow. An amazing piece of detective work!! I like the way all the pieces fit together into an amazing puzzle, each strange feature neccessary to the whole, and nothing left out. I really think you’ve solved the riddle of the Great Pyramid!!  Do you have a sequel in mind?

Dave Lackey

Dear Mr. Dunn,

I just finished reading your book and thought it was excellent.  I’ve come full circle on this subject. I purchased a book twenty years ago from Readers Digest called “The worlds Last Mysteries”.

In this book they showed a nice diagram of the ramp theory. Well, it sounded good to me and then several years ago I saw the NOVA show with Dr. Mark Lehner when they built that small pyramid. At that point I thought that’s how they did it and why they did it.  I compared it to the Apollo program in terms of why people put so much effort into such a project. Thousands of years from now maybe people will wonder why we landed six times on the moon and then stopped.

After reading “Fingerprints of the Gods” I changed my opinion. It would be impossible to build such a precise structure without modern technology and why such an effort just for a tomb.

I was wondering what your opinion is on the whole in the floor of the Kings Chamber and aslo according to Tompkins book there used to be a large granite door in the descending passage below the granite plugs.

Best Regards,

Erling Ask

Dear Mr. Dunn,

I read your article on the site of the Laura Lee Show with great interest and was fascinated by your thoughts. However, (as follows as usual after some compliments – nevertheless they are sincerely meant) I hesitate in accepting your ideas concerning the Giza Power Plant, although you have elaborated your thoughts in a fine way.

As a theosophist I am much interested in all mysteries that enshroud the history of the Ancient peoples, and thus have done some thinking and reading about the pyramids myself. Therefore I am of the opinion that the Ancients had much more interest in spiritual aspects of life than the technical ones. Why should ‘they’ have used the pyramid as a powerplant as we find no traces about the consumption of the resulting energy.

It must have occured to you, a person who is so much fascinated by the exactness of the builders, that the coffer in the King’s Chamber and many other artifacts, that are state-of-the-art pieces of ‘furniture’ there still are some mysterious loose ends. So in your article you focus on the smoothness and exact proportions of some artifacts that can not be rivalled by modern engineers. But then does arise the question: how do we explain the peculiar ceiling of the King’s Chamber, that is made up of 5! stones that are smooth on the bottom but extremely rough on the upper side?

In view of all the other material you offer as proof of the extraordinary attention the builders spent to details, we are not allowed to dismiss this as a coincidence or a closing entry, are we?

But before offering you my thoughts on this enigma I would like to know if you meant your powerplant to be used on humans as some sort of therapy or something? Because the coffer was clearly meant for a human to rest in, or rather to lie down.  Furthermore I noticed a little detail in your design of a cross-section of the Giza Power Plant that does not comply with other designs, they are the northern and southern shafts. In other designs I saw they do not touch the outer surface of the pyramids but stop a few feet before it, which make them even more mysterious. And could you explain the function of the fluid switch?

I must say I appreciate your work and research on the pyramids very much. You offer some valuable refreshening views on the history of the pyramids.

Yours,

Dear Chris
I just got an idea to look up +diorite +egypt on Yahoo after seeing that “Secrets of the pyramids” show on Discovery so many times. There were 41 hits, http://atlantisrising.com/issue8/ar8egypt.html
being one of them. Your article is the first thing I have seen that really got down to actually measuring the incredible precision of stonework that cannot be matched today.

What strikes me as odd is what happened to all the tools used on the stone? A tool has to be harder than the workpiece, otherwise it isn’t much of a tool!  Their tools would have to be made from alloys much tougher than anything we have today. Where did the stone carvers put their tools when they stopped carving?

Could their actually have been a spacefaring culture thousands of years ago? How the stones making up the temple in front of the Sphinx were moved boggles the mind. Nobody knows how they were moved and we bareley have the equipment to be able to move stone blocks that heavy now, let alone “stack” them. They had to have some kind of anti-gravity and a very powerful source of energy to drill holes in granite and diorite at a rate that beats the best we can do today.  Anti-matter 5,000 years ago?

Since their is no physical technological evidence of such an advanced culture, other than thei stonework in Egypt and South/Central America, they must have gone somewhere for some reason and took ALL their tools and equipment with them. But where could they go on Earth where no other trace has been found to this very day?

Some speculate about Mars. One online book I found while looking for something completely unrelated, title “A Hill on Mars”, mixes theology in with science and another race on Mars. Too weird for me. But the part about the arrangement of things in the Cydonia region in relation to the axial tilt of Mars and the radii of Mars and the orbits of Phobos and Deimos is as compelling as the ratios of the height and other dimensions of the pyramids. We won’t know any more until someone lands a long range rover smack in the middle of Cydonia along with a “marsplane” to get overhead pictures. The chances of this being done by any government are lower than the chance that the IRS will ever be straightened out! 🙂

“A hill on Mars” does have a good point about the statements made in 1976 that a second photo of the “face” made a few hours later showed nothing but an ordinary mountain. That was impossible since the time given for the “second photo” would have placed the “face” in the dark! The first article I read on the “face” told about someone who was going through the Viking photos and found the one with it lit from the west. This is the photo commonly seen all over. BUT this article also said he searched more, finding other westerly lit evening photos of the “face” AND one photo of it in the morning lit from the east, it looked like a face in that photo also!

Another point made is that we have never seen a photo of the “face” looking like “an ordinary mountain”.  I wonder why? 🙂

If you want to see how the old “stuffed shirt science” is being challenged more and more, go here;
http://www.lerc.nasa.gov/WWW/PAO/warp.htm and do a search for “breakthrough propulsion physics”. I reccomend www.dogpile.com for searching the net.

Many scientists will have to admit they have been wrong for many years this coming decade! (Some never will, but we can ignore them while flying FTL to the stars.)

P.S. Ever read “The spaceships of Ezekiel”?

Dear Chris

Newage.com.au has an ‘article’ of yours posted on their library section under ” Ancient Places.” It apparantly hyperlinks to what’s her name’s in Seattle’s site. Your analyses are extensive and logical. much there on a concrete basis. How the Pyramids were built is one thing. Why they were built another. In my view, the purpose was to leave a record that they knew, or had discovered the sacred geometry that proves the existence of a Creator. The only medium of storage with which they could preserve the proof through the ages was stone. You may find the Pyramid essays posted at the same location mildly amusing. I would be interested in your take.  One to another,

Jennis Strickland

Dear Chris
This certainly is an interesting idea. But I would like to ask a question and make a supposition for you. Since the orientation of the output waveguide is not even close to geosynchronous orbit, how could power be beamed to a geosynchronous satellite.

Bauval and Gilbert and others have proposed that the orientation of the shafts are for sending the soul to Osiris. Suppose this ‘soul’ or ‘spirit’ is actually our voice. Perhaps the pyramid is a communications device and the signal input is the modulation for a powerful microwave transmitter to our brothers (fathers?) in the stars. In that case would the hydrogen wavelength be a wise one to use or the last one to use? I can understand this stuff just fine, but I have never had a chance to give it serious thought, so I would appreciate any response. Thanks.

Jon Brunson

Jon,

This certainly is an interesting idea. But I would like to ask a question
and make a supposition for you. Since the orientation of the output
waveguide is not even close to geosynchronous orbit, how could power be
beamed to a geosynchronous satellite.

Obviously not at the 45% angle of the shaft. It would have to be redirected approximately another 10 degrees north (rough estimate). Did they actually do this? I don’t know. I offer several speculations in my book. One of them being that they were communicating with Orion or even providing power to spacecraft going to Orion. There may be other possibilities also. The main focus in the book is how the Giza Power Plant operated. After the energy leaves the exit point of the Southern Shaft, it anyone’s guess and just pure speculation.

Bauval and Gilbert and others have proposed that the orientation of the
shafts are for sending the soul to Osiris. Suppose this ‘soul’ or ‘spirit’
is actually our voice. Perhaps the pyramid is a communications device and
the signal input is the modulation for a powerful microwave transmitter to
our brothers (fathers?) in the stars. In that case would the hydrogen
wavelength be a wise one to use or the last one to use? I can understand
this stuff just fine, but I have never had a chance to give it serious
thought, so I would appreciate any response. Thanks.

Yes, I agree that the input signal could modulate the power output. By the dimensions of the waveguides, though, it certainly seems to lead to the use of hydrogen, which has a wavelength of 8.309 inches.

Christopher Dunn

Hi Chris,

I’m in Italy at the moment. On my way here I finished reading your book, and I must congratulate you on
a thought-provoking book. There are sentences/some facts which I think you’ve misinterpreted, but now is not the time or place to go into the detail I think they deserve – besides, they don’t affect the overall idea of your book. Anyways, I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about it: I don’t recall you giving possible ways that the power plant may have malfunctioned?

Also, I believe that Cheops’ pyramid is closed at the moment for repair work – salt incrustration being cleaned off the walls – which makes me curious about the salt you mention: do you know if there is any record of the salt levels found on the Queen’s Chamber walls when it was first entered again in the ninth century? Could the amount of salt found by the nineteenth century explorers not have been the result of visitors in the intervening centuries (like today’s salt build-up only over a longer period of time) and possibly a bit involving the pyramid workers themselves? You mention the predynastic vases, but where do you see that power sourcecoming from?

What about the other Egyptian pyramids? and especially the complexes of which they form but one part?

BTW: the ‘trial passages’ are no longer regarded by Egyptologists as ‘trial passages’ for the precise reasons you give yourself for rejecting that view.

How well has your book sold? What’s the reaction like at the moment? Is it being published in Europe, etc., yet?

Cheers,

Mike.

Dear Chris

I just finished your book “Giza Power Plant”. It was fascinating reading. I’m a audio recording engineer by trade(National Public Radio), so I was intrigued by the sound properties you discovered. Ever since I
saw the video “Mysteries of the Sphinx” by A.West I have a hard time watching those “Ancient Egypt” documentaries on TLC. Now after reading your work I can’t watch them at all. I’ve always believed there was a greater technology at work back then than what was taught to us in school.  Do you know the status on the project involving the chamber under the Sphinx’s paws?

I thank you for tenacious pursuit of truth.

Parris Morgan

Dear Chris

Earlier this summer I spent some time at Paul and Laura’s…And read your EXCELLENT book!!!!
I believe it may actually be THE answer…and even if it is not it seems to be the most cognizant all-encompassing description of the function of the great pyramid….Keep up the good work…
Bob

Dear Robert:

In a message dated 96-12-08 01:07:00 EST, you write:

I have recently returned from Egypt on a tour with J.A. West. This was the
same tour Laura lee and Paul were on. I was unaware of your appearance on
her show until I read your article just tonight. To put it simply I could
not agree with you more! The precision that I also observed while inside
the pyramids and in other sites on the tour could not have been done by
simple hand tools.

Thank you so much for your support. I have had nothing but confirmation from
all over the world on this work. I would have loved to be on the tour with
you. I understand from Laura that John West mentioned my name quite a few
times.

writing about it..

You are most welcome. It has been, and continues to be, my pleasure!

Hmmnn..do I smell a book?

Your olfactory senses are quite healthy! I am working on a book that includes
the material you have read, two other articles that will appear in Atlantis
Rising next year and gives a possible explanation for the true purpose of the
Great Pyramid. I will maintain the same honesty throughout the book that you
see in the article you read. I will only go as far as the data takes me.
Conservatively, I believe the book with be revolutionary.

I have yet to secure a book publisher or agent for this book, so if you know
anyone, I would be most grateful for the lead.

Best regards and keep in touch.

Chris

Dear Mr Dunn:

I have just finished reading The Giza Power Plant and was greatly impressed. I
have read several books on the pyramids and sphinx by Graham Hancock and
Zecharia Sitchin but your book had the most impact on me. Maybe that is
because I am in the engineering field. Your book, as far as I am concerned,
entirely negates the “pyramid as being just a tomb”argument. It also shows
how ridiculous the egyptologists arguments are that the great monuments in
the region were made with simple hand tools. I believe that your book
should be made into a documentary. It would present an alternative to the
television documentaries which disseminate questionable information
concerning the construction and function of this edifice.

There are a couple of questions I would like to ask and some arguments
I would like to offer. Did you imply that the ancient Egyptians had no
knowledge of the wheel? I have seen illustrations of Egyptian horse drawn
two wheeled chariots,did I misinterpret something? The other question
concerns the theory of the pyramid being a source of energy to operate
power driven tools. If this theory is correct, where did the energy come
from to operate the tools used to build the Great Pyramid and the other
precisely made artifacts? While I accept your premise that the pyramid is
some sort of power generating plant I believe that other premises for the
function of the pyramid such as described in Zecharia Sitchin’s book, The
Wars of Gods and Men are also valid.

An issue that you and Graham Hancock avoid in your writings is the
possibilty of an extra-terrestrial influence upon the building and
operation of the pyramid. You credit this wondrous technology all to the
ancient Egyptians. I do not believe that this influence can be entirely
ruled out. As you have shown, the high level of technology reflected in the
construction of the pyramid is even far beyond that which exists today.
Where did the superior knowledge that was responsible for this advanced
technology come from? Although there are many pyramids in Egypt isn’t the
Great Pyramid unique from all the others because of its internal features?
Since there are no prototypes for it, the builders must have had the
technology down cold. I can’t imagine that this incredible one of a kind
structure was designed as the builders went along. If the location of the
pyramid being at the center of the Earth’s landmass was important for its
function was it a happy coincidence that the builders just happened to be
Egyptians?

Other advanced technologies which existed within ancient societies such
as the flying chariots or vimanas and weapons of immense destructive power
described in the Mahabharata were utilized by superior beings who were
looked upon as “gods”. The presence of superior or divine beings on Earth
and their advanced technologies in ancient times is mentioned not only in
Indian historical literature it also appears in the Bible. The fact that
these beings were looked upon as being gods or divine shows that they were
not considered part of the native population. The question is were they a
race of geniuses that sprung up in the midst of a primitive society or were
they outsiders? The presence of these beings on Earth is shown in the
extremely vivid accounts of Ezekiel’s dramatic encounters with them.

A divine being named Yahweh led Moses and the Israelites out of Egypt
traveling in a conveyance described as a “cloud”. He also gave them the the
Ark of the Covenant which served both as a device for him to communicate
with Moses; “and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from
between the two cherubim” (Exodus CH25 V22) and a powerful weapon of
destruction which could also deal a fatal electric shock to anyone who
handled it carelessly. A final point I would like to mention concerning
ancient weapons of mass destruction is the similarity between the accounts
of the horrendous destruction of cities in the Mahabharata and that of
Sodom and Gemorrah.

The possible connection between the pyramids and extra-terrestrials has taken a new turn with the photos of the Cydonia Plain on Mars. While there are differing points of view as to whether the “face” is a face or not there is no denying that the plateau of which it is a part is geometric in nature. Its two straight sides capped by two semi-circles give it a definite cartouche appearance. There is also the matter of the pyramid like structures in the area. Not being an geologist I can not say whether or not these forms are natural, but they certainly possess a pyramid like quality to them. There are several reputable people such as Richard Hoagland who have no doubt in their minds that these are artificial structures. I hope we find out, NASA and JPL willing, from the next set of close up shots of the Cydonia region. If it turns out that Hoagland et al are correct we will all have to make some
major adjustments in our thinking about mankind and our place in the universe.

Sincerely,

Syd Rubenhold

Hi,

WOW I just finished your article and found it amazing. I have been
interested in this subject of Man’s “past” for sometime now and every time
I read or find out information such as yours I find myself wanting to know
more. I just wanted to let you know that your investigations are
appreciated and that the work you have done, along with others who move
forward in this area, is something that I feel is important for the human
race to know and to understand. I’m so looking forward to future
discoveries and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Thank
you for all the insight.

HELLO CHRIS:

You don’t know me but I coaxed your e-mail address from Stephen Mehler
whom I just had the pleasure of spending two weeks in Egypt with. We
were part of a tour led by Abdel Hakim and Karena Bryan. (One of the
coolest couples on the planet.)
I had a couple of months to do my homework before the trip and I
read several books including Fingerprints of the Gods and the Message
of the Sphinx. Fortunately though, the last one I read just before
leaving was The Giza Power Plant. Needless to say, I was fascinated
and stunned by the implications of the book. I have always been a
history buff but now thanks to your work coupled with Hakim’s wealth
of indigenous knowledge, my concept of history has been turned on it’s
head, shattered and thrown out the window.
I admire the fact that your work is based on the evidence of what you
see, what is there and what can be examined with a trained eye and the
tools of the trade. This scientific approach to history is obviously
new and revolutionary. It can’t be ignored. I like the fact that the
speculation came at the end of the book after all of the physical
evidence had been examined. This is definitely a very exiting time and
I feel that You, Stephen, Hakim and Karina are on the cutting edge of
something extraordinary that will reshape the way human beings see
themselves.

I thought that you might be interested in my experience of visiting
the interior of the great pyramid. Keep in mind that I am definitely
not a new age type of person and have had very few experiences that I
would consider psychic or synchronistic.

My logical mind does have a few answers to what I experienced but I can’t ignore my gut feeling
the entire time I was inside; It was one of stark precice industrial
dread. I should back up and explain that our we entered the pyramid
on the last day of our stay in Egypt.

Hakim and Karina had explained to us that our tour was carefully constucted so that we would visit
various sacred energy spots in order to re-alighn and increase our
body’s energy. (The word “energy” is used in such a generalized way
that I’m not even sure what is meant by it exactly). We had spent two
weeks touring the country and visiting many temples and sacred sights.
And at every one, Hakim made a point of taking us to the original
energy source, a spot that he explained was a place of running water
(usually a natural spring). These places were regarded by the
ancients to be places of great power and over thousands of years, the
temples evolved around them.

This is quite fascinating because it
ties in with the functioning of the pyramids. Both Hakim and Stephen
view running water as the life blood of the pyramids as machines.
Apparently the ancient scientists were able to utilize the energy of
running water, heated to a specific temperature to draw vast amounts
of energy. In this way, the temples and the pyramids were related. (
I’m sure that Stephen has talked your ear off about this, if not…he
will).

……………….Anyway…..the point is that we were told
that if we had entered the pyramid at the beginning of the trip that
we would not have had the same experience as our body’s energy would
not be the same. (on this, I can only take their word). I was very
exited upon entering the pyramid, I felt I knew every square inch of
the interior as a result of all the reading I had done.

While ascending the grand gallery, I experienced a very strange physical
sensation, (the only other time I have experienced such a feeling is
on the long escalators entering or leaving one of the deep stations of
the London underground). It was the feeling that I was walking a
straight, horizontal path and not up at an angle. As a result, I had
the feeling that gravity had gone haywire and was pulling me
backwards. I began to feel queasy as I neared the top, my sense of
balance and equilibrium felt totally askew.

I also began to get the feeling that I had been shrunk and was inside of a giant vacuum
cleaner or furnace. The feeling of being inside of a machine was
overwhelming and was something that I had definitely not felt while
visiting any other great monument of ancient Egypt. I was reminded of
the Lost In space episode in which the robot grows to a huge size and
they have to go inside to reverse this hugeness.

I also was reminded of the movie Head. (made in 1969, written by Jack Nicholson. It stars
the pop group The Monkies). Don’t laugh, it is disguized as a silly
movie but has some very profound and spiritual themes and if you
havent seen it, you should. (There is a scene where the Monkies get
stuck inside of a giant vacume cleaner). We entered the kings chamber
and all sat in a circle. Hakim spoke of the the amazing acoustical
qualities of the pyramid and insrtucted us to sing and to use our
nasal cavities as resenators. I was again reminded of a scene in Head
where The Monkeys are trapped in a huge black box.

They are sitting in a circle and receiving spiritual teaching from an old Indian guru.(
I would love to ask Jack Nicholson if the script was influenced in any
way by an experience of visiting the great pyramid). We all began to
sing. I at times had the sensation that a huge spiraling vortex of
sound was swirling around the top of the chamber! At times it sounded
like a jet engine. I could hear strange overtones that seemed to have
a life of their own.

I honestly couldn’t tell whether I was hearing peoples voices of oher tones
that had apeared in the chamber. I had my eyes closed and began to have a
mild out of body experience.

I hadthe sensation of flying through stone tunnels. I felt that they were
deep underground, very ancient and alien. On the walls of some of the
tunnels, I clearly saw huge gear-like wheels carved into the walls,
(similar to those I had seen earlier that day at Abu Garab, a place
Hakim considers to be the most ancient site in Egypt). Again I have
to emphasize that I had the strongest feeling of cold industrial
precision. Much the same feeling that I get from old factories or the
power plants that one sees on the outskirts of New York City.

This was accompanied by a feeling of great darkness and evil as if
something terrible had happened deep in those tunnels far back in the
distant past. I also had the same sensation that I described in the
grand gallery; the feeling of gravity being askew or altered in some
way. (which is very interesting to me considering some of the theories
about how they lifted the giant stones and obelisks). We then took
turns laying inside of the box while everyone sang and Hakim spoke
ancient Khemition words. WOW! my whole body vibrated and I felt a
combination of extacy and dread. It was incredible.

My logical mind tells me that the visual sensation of the tunnels was
just a by-product of things that I had been seeing all week. (I have
had the same sensation after a day of long distance driving, I close
my eyes and can see traffic and have the feeling of moving along the
highway). The feelings of industrial hell however were something
else. I can’t explain it but I know what I felt. It has left a big
impression on me. Also, when I shared my experience with Karena and a
few of the others, they discribed experiencing virtually the exact
same thing!

I have tried to ask myself if I would have felt this machine like sensation within the
pyramid if I had not read your book before hand. I am convinced that I would have.

The stark precision is to hard to ignore.

Thanks for reading this ridiculously long E-mail, I’m sure you know
that when one returns from the Black Land one is full of babbling
energy and must get these things out. Good luck with the book!!

Yours pyramidaly

MARTYN JONES
