Hi there!

I started this Thread because there are so many things, that one can do with Pyramids!

Do you have Pyramids yourself or knows someone that has one or more? Did you ever try storing Wine inside a Pyramid and how did you like the wine, after you tried it?

I talked quite a lot about it already in a Thread about Fossil Meteorites because I had to store away a few dozen stony Meteorites in one of my largest Pyramids and so the Pyramid discussion took its run.

More about my Photographs about ma Pyramids that I´ve build and made over 15 jears, you may find under the following Link.

So, see ja later!

How does this relate to general science? Is there any scientific paper (read: peer reviewed) related to anything you mention on pyramid power?

As we already have a thread on this topic, started by the same OP, in the conspiracy section, I think this thread can be closed...

oh, come on.. this is a different thread.
the other one was about how rich he wants to get off some rocks he found in Canada and hid under some pyramids..
this one is about how he wants to teach the world to build his magical pyramids..

As I mentioned in the other thread, unless you do a blind taste test (where you are not aware of where the wine came from) it is all too easy to believe there is a taste difference because you expect a difference. It doesn't matter if the expectation is conscious or unconscious. As long as you know where the wine came from, the test is no longer objective.

This belongs in ATM.

Actually I once built some Pyramids for a class project in the 5th grade. The goal of which was to determine if pyramids actually had any special properties of them. And it turned out they didn't.

The experiment was set up with eight inch tall pyramids and boxes, with bean seeds planted in a sprouting mix.

Some pyramids and boxes were alligned to true north, some were alligned to magnetic north, and some randomely alligned. some were made of cardboard, others with plastic, and others metal.

We also planted some bean seeds that were just left in a dark location, and some with normal lighting for controls.

The results of said experiment, done twice over that school year, was that contrary to the teachers 'science' *cough cough hack* lesson plan which indicated the pyramid seeds should show the most growth; that actually there was no difference in the pyramid seeds sprouting rates, or thier growth rates over 2 weeks.

There was one notable anomoly in the results, and that was that the metal boxes and pyramids which were allined to magnetic north, displayed a 10% worse germination rate, and 2% less growth rate then the dark room control plants.

We never could figure the why's of that anonomly, but then it was just 5th grade science. (Well anti-science, as the teacher insisted the Pyramids should have worked better).

So basicaly, it was a waste of time that could of been spent better on some other science project. The Pyramids didn't do anything.

However it did show (and rightly) how experimentation should be set up to test many different variables and controls. To me that was the real lesson.

Well, it's about time someone posted about Pyramid Power!

See the photo below for my most powerful pyramid. It's so big I had to fly over in a plane to take a picture of it from above. It rests on a bed of crushed kryptonite meteorites that is about 75 x 75 feet square, and takes up a corner of my backyard.

It faces true galactic north and can be used to determine where the galactic plane is at any moment. In addition it controls the local weather, which really saves money on the electric and gas bills. I did have a bit of a row with the Homeowner's Association when it was first installed, but since they also benefit from its local climate control, the complaints have ceased.

I shouldn't mention this but it was a gift from a secret group I belong to which is promoting nuclear power as the solution to all our needs and right now is searching for nuclear engineers to save its planet from destruction.

BTW, the clock is always set to their time. If you can't read the time, it's because you weren't meant to!

In about 1990, when I was working for a defence company called Plessey, we had a raffle.

I won a prize, which was a small solid white pyramid - its base was about the size of the palm of my hand. It was described as a desktop accessory.

"Now why," I hear you asking, "would somebody bother to put a small white solid pyramid on their desk? It might look nice, but it doesn't do anything, does it?"

Hey, not so fast!

You see, this pyramid has remarkable powers. It can be used to store paperclips.

"But," I hear you say, "it's a solid pyramid. I can understand you storing your paperclips in a hollow pyramid with a lid of some sort, but a solid pyramid? No way!"

Now just you hold your horses, boy! The paperclips are stored on the pyramid.

"Huh?" you say. "I can envisage one or two hanging from the pointy bit, but surely the rest will simply slide down the slope!"

Ordinarily, yes, but this pyramid has, as I say, remarkable powers. You see, the paperclips are drawn towards it. There's no question about it, there's a mysterious force that originates from within the pyramid itself which somehow "attracts" the paperclips, rather in the manner of a lodestone. The paperclips stick quite firmly to the surface, but not so firmly that you can't pull them off again!

I don't pretend to understand how it works. To be honest, I think there are secrets that man is not meant to uncover, and this is one of them.

One must wonder if that power is animalistic, rather than physical.

That was exactly my thought, which is why I tried it on a number of animals, including, rather appropriately, a family of paperclip shrews (Suncus papyriclipus). None of the animals appeared to be influenced by the mysterious force, except for a giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) that had been fitted with a steel neck-brace.

[No animals were harmed in the writing of this post.]

Re the Giraffa camelopardalis, other than the steel neck brace, what was the area most subject to attraction? I would guess the velvety horns.

Pyramid power? Myth Busted (See episode 32.)

Kind of horseshoe shaped, huh? Unfortunately my step-ladder was not high enough to reach.

I had to use my step-ladder because my real ladder ran out on me when I was a child.

(No mastabas were employed in this post.)

If you consider an experiment that successfully falsified a hypothesis to be a waste of time, you've been taught some seriously wrong things about how science works.

It's when the experiment doesn't contradict the theory and you've therefore learned nothing new about the theory that it's a waste of time.

Most, if not all, science projects in school are actually really bad science, you make an experiment which is basically guaranteed to give the same result each time, and your teacher then claims it confirmed the theory.

Making a case for pyramid power and then have you show it doesn't exist is actually made the experiments good science.

Unless this theory wasn't accepted mainstream yet, or at least not its applicability in the field you tested it in.

Testing a mainstream theory in its accepted field of validity indeed doesn't teach you a lot, accept for proper laboratory and data processing procedures, which is what these school tasks tend to be about. They don't expect you to find new theories or falsify mainstream theories in high school, at least not before you've learned how to properly do this by confirming mainstream theories. These are handy to learn the art, as the quality of your work can be read readily from the results. This cannot be said when they let you do experiments with unknown results. You need soome mileage before you can confidently contribute in that field. And I'm not saying this to make the scientific method something exclusive.

Dear Fossman,
why does your yellow Maya stair pyramid have chinese characters written on it. Is there something we should know?

Lieber Fossman

Weswegen hat deinen gelben Maya Stufen Pyramide chinesischen Schriftzeichen auf der Seite?
