The ancient Egyptians may have used infrasound to create altered states of consciousness in the pyramids

The Egyptian pyramids are miracles of construction and scientific achievement, which is even more amazing when you consider that they were built thousands of years ago, long before we had the extensive knowledge that has been acquired over centuries.

But were the pyramids also constructed to produce sound waves that would literally alter consciousness and produce a mystical, out of body experience in anyone who was inside the structure?

As Ancient Origins explains, infrasound (sometimes referred to as low-frequency sound) is known to directly affect the human brain:

 “It can induce feelings of nausea, anxiety, paranoia, as well as a sense of dread. In more sensitive individuals this can lead to a feeling of disconnection with the material world, accompanied by a very real sense of otherworldliness.”

Remarkably, the ancient Egyptians may also have understood that infrasound could play tricks on the mind and lead to a higher state of mental activity:

“If correct, then were the pyramid builders of ancient Egypt aware not only of some very expressive forms of sound technology, but also of the impact of infrasound on human bodily systems? Is this why the Dead-end Passage in the Subterranean Chamber was deliberately designed to generate infrasound, and why other of its chambers produced it on a slightly lower level?”

The Dead-End Passage

Of particular interest is the “Dead-End Passage” in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Science and history author Andrew Collins had a chance to enter this passage and then theorized as to the purpose of the narrow passageway:

“As the only thing a person can do when in the Dead-end Passage is either sit cross-legged or lie down lengthways, then it really does make sense that its original function involved a person, an initiate or priest perhaps, entering inside it and achieving some kind of altered state of consciousness. This might have been achieved through either the use of meditational practices or the achievement of non-REM sleep, enhanced, of course, by the effects of the tube’s own inherent infrasound; the two resonating in sympathy with each other.”

The fact that the Dead-End Passage is located beneath the center of the pyramid speaks to the larger purpose of the structure: Transporting the pharaoh to other worlds:

“This deep cosmic journey involved an ascent to the constellation of Orion, and then an onward passage via the Milky Way to the constellation of Cygnus, the entrance to the sky world proper. It is a process outlined in the 4,300-year-old Pyramid Texts, found inscribed on the interior walls of several Old Kingdom pyramids, whereby in death every pharaoh automatically becomes the god Osiris.

“In this guise, the soul’s primary goal was to achieve rebirth in the womb of Osiris’s mother. She was the sky-goddess Nut, who was herself a personification of the Milky Way, her womb synonymous with the fork in the Milky Way marked by the stars of Cygnus. Having achieved entry to the afterlife, the ascended soul of the pharaoh was reunited with both the gods and the ancestors.”

All of this does lend itself to the possibility that Egyptian priests were indeed under the influence of infrasound as a method of also transporting themselves to the stars where they could oversee the pharaoh’s transformation and rebirth as a god.

As we all know, sound can transport us in ways other things cannot. Most of us have experienced hearing a song from our youth and recalling exactly where we were and what we were doing when we first heard it. Of all our senses, sound may even have the greatest impact on us. And it seems perfectly logical that the ancient Egyptians knew this, too, and incorporated that knowledge into the pyramids.

Were Tesla’s ideas about free energy and communication with aliens exploited by his enemies?

In 2019, Serbian-American Nikola Tesla has never been more famous or appreciated, yet in his day he was ridiculed as a mad scientist. Why? As anyone who has ever explored the idea of extraterrestrial life knows, it can be a taboo subject of scorn by mainstream society. That’s changing rapidly, as the US government has finally admitted that the study of unidentified aerial phenomena is ongoing and progressed to official changes in reporting procedures.

However, with Tesla, (1856-1943), we can see he seems to have been lightyears ahead of his time, using his radical thinking to come up with invention after invention. One ubiquitous example is the alternating-current (AC) electrical system we use daily. Others are radio technology, and wireless power systems we take for granted today.

Tesla had no reservations about discussing his thoughts on extraterrestrial life, or even that he could make contact and learn from higher intelligence in the universe.

In 1899, the Red Cross asked Tesla to “predict man’s greatest possible achievement in the next century.” Tesla responded that he had already done it by receiving a signal from another world.

“To the American Red Cross, New York City.

The retrospect is glorious, the prospect is inspiring: Much might be said of both. But one idea dominates my mind. This — my best, my dearest — is for your noble cause.

I have observed electrical actions, which have appeared inexplicable. Faint and uncertain though they were, they have given me a deep conviction and foreknowledge, that ere long all human beings on this globe, as one, will turn their eyes to the firmament above, with feelings of love and reverence, thrilled by the glad news: “Brethren! We have a message from another world, unknown and remote. It reads: one… two… three…”

Christmas 1900″

By 1910, Tesla told the New York Times that he believed the signals were coming from Mars and that “all doubt in this regard will soon be dispelled.”

As brilliant and as prolific as he was, Tesla was driven by ideas, not by commercial, corporate success. He was laser-focused on delivering free energy and global, wireless communication to every person.

This pursuit, as well as his open belief in extraterrestrials, appear to have been his biggest weaknesses. Both free energy and talk of aliens were topics that were easy for his enemies to exploit against him, and that’s still true today.

Tesla received the mad scientist treatment, and his ideas about aliens and free energy were considered just crazy talk, although certainly entertaining.

Investors became worried about working with Tesla. After all, how could free energy be monetized anyway?

According to Biography.com:

“With funding from a group of investors that included financial giant J. P. Morgan, in 1901 Tesla began work on the free energy project in earnest, designing and building a lab with a power plant and a massive transmission tower on a site on Long Island, New York, that became known as Wardenclyffe.

However, doubts arose among his investors about the plausibility of Tesla’s system. As his rival, Guglielmo Marconi — with the financial support of Andrew Carnegie and Thomas Edison — continued to make great advances with his own radio technologies, Tesla had no choice but to abandon the project.”

Tesla had a falling out with the investors and with mainstream giants like Thomas Edison and financier and banker, J.P. Morgan. Later, when his ideas about Mars became public, it seems to have sealed his fate. Rumors that Tesla would be given a Nobel Prize vanished into nothing, as well as the proof of free energy technology.

Today, the concepts of free energy and aliens are not quite so fringe, with the rise of Tesla Motors in 2003 and the ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) in the universe. Tesla has gone from a cult figure to a mainstream hero, and one day, we hope his dreams become realized for the benefit of all life on Earth.

Lunar spacecraft exhaust could obscure clues to origins of life

Over half of the exhaust methane from lunar spacecraft could end up contaminating areas of the moon that might otherwise yield clues about the origins of Earthly life, according to a recent study. The pollution could unfold rapidly regardless of a spacecraft’s touchdown site; even for a landing at the South Pole, methane molecules may “hop” across the lunar surface to the North Pole in under two lunar days.
