Episode #384: Giza: The Tesla Connection - Part 1

Summary

The Brothers of the Serpent begin a book report on Christopher Dunn's 'Giza: The Tesla Connection,' the sequel to his famous 'Giza Power Plant.' Dunn now describes the Great Pyramid as a solid-state electron harvester that drew electricity from stressed igneous rock, building on NASA physicist Friedemann Freund's research into earthquake lights. The hosts also cover the forewords, the ScanPyramids Big Void, a proposed microwave pre-amplifier, and the famous story of Sir William Siemens shocking his guide atop the pyramid.

Key takeaways

• 1Egyptian engineer Ahmed Adly says his laser measurements found near-perfect 90-degree interior corners in a Serapeum box (3.091 m by 1.495 m).
• 2Adly cites empty sealed sarcophagi as evidence against the tomb theory: Barsanti's find at Zawyet el-Aryan and Goneim's 1954 excavation of Sekhemkhet's pyramid.
• 3Cairo University physicist A.M. El-Sherbini reportedly supports the power plant hypothesis, but calls for more acoustic and electromagnetic testing.
• 4Dunn credits Peter Tompkins' 1971 book 'Secrets of the Great Pyramid' with sparking his 21-year research path toward 'The Giza Power Plant' (1998).
• 5Geologist Adrian Lungen told Dunn that Aswan granite has under 5% quartz, undermining Dunn's earlier piezoelectric explanation; Dunn now relies on Friedemann Freund's 'p-hole' theory of stressed rock releasing charge.
• 6Dunn also cites Sir William Siemens' Leyden jar experiment on the pyramid summit, a 2018 Russian study showing the pyramid's chambers concentrate electromagnetic energy, and aerospace engineer Eric Wilson's idea that the ScanPyramids Big Void acted as a maser pre-amplifier.

Transcript excerpt

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, angels, demons, monsters, and serpents, this is Brothers of the Serpent Podcast. I am Russ Allen, coming to you from my studio where I am hiding from Sam Squanch and Eldritch Horrors in the Appalachian Mountains. And this is Kyle Allen, still here in Tejas, high atop the Edwards Plateau, owning from my throne, the tangent cube of science, all alone, all by myself. It is all mine now. Welcome to the show. One of the hosts is tuning in from a scientific environment. Yes. I'm trying to stop the nose laughing, but, because it does this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I knew I got you right when you were drinking. Yes, I had a big gulp of coffee in my mouth. Well, cheers to you, bro. Cheers to everyone watching and listening. After the harvest, we did the live, and now we're back to the recorded shows, and we are starting a book report. Let's go. At long last, a new classic Snake Bros book report. So, for those of you watching, it's going to be extremely boring, just both of us sitting here and me reading out of a book, The Tesla Connection. This is basically Christopher Dunn's part two of Giza Power Plant. So, we're going to be doing the classic Snake Bros abridged deep dive book report. If you're interested, we did cover his excellent Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt, episode 120 and 121. We did kind of a, sort of a deep dive exploration of the, of the ideas in that book in those two episodes. Then the Giza Power Plant, we did a classic book report where we, where we actually go through large sections of the book. That's episodes 126 through 131. ...
