Researchers Claim Great Pyramid can Focus Electromagnetic Waves:
"Egyptian pyramids have always attracted great attention," said Andrey Evlyukhin, coauthor of the paper and an egghead at the ITMO University, Russia, earlier this week. "We as scientists were interested in them as well, so we decided to look at the Great Pyramid as a particle dissipating radio waves resonantly."
Computational models revealed that the pyramid's internal chambers and base were shaped in a way that can potentially concentrate radio waves using the phenomenon of resonance. Specifically, Evlyukhin asserted, the structure's inner spaces and foundation resonate when hit by external radio waves with a wavelength of 200 to 600 metres, and can control the propagation, scattering, and concentration of this electromagnetic energy.
[...] according to the paper:
It is revealed that the Pyramid's chambers can collect and concentrate electromagnetic energy ... At the shorter wavelengths, the electromagnetic energy accumulates in the chambers providing local spectral maxima for electric and magnetic fields. It is shown that basically the Pyramid scatters the electromagnetic waves and focuses them into the substrate region.

Did the researchers really find something here, or is this just a light-hearted jab at new-age crystal woo-woo?

Well, I'm not saying there were ancient aliens, but someone knew something way back in the day because the Great Pyramid originally had a tin-foil hat. It was stolen by the Romans to make swords and shields. The remains of the support structure are still visible at the top.

It was not a tin-foil hat. Now it all makes sense: It was a smoothing layer, for easier insertion into the Titan-Mother vagina. Think about it: a giant pile of stone with magnetic focusing properties: She was the first customer of Goop.
You do not want to know how this theory perfectly fits with the Sphinx.

Fun tidbit the sphincter is named after the Sphinx. No one knew why but this might be the overheating dildo we've been waiting for.
