Scientists believe that pyramids could be interstellar transmitters
Key Points:
- An Iranian scientist, Jalal Jafari, proposed in a non-peer-reviewed study that the Great Pyramid of Khufu may have functioned as a celestial beacon or "gravitational transmitter" to communicate with extraterrestrials, rather than serving solely as a royal tomb.
- Jafari highlights the pyramid's latitude coordinate, 29.979234 degrees north, as closely matching the speed of light (299,792,458 meters per second) up to seven digits, suggesting an intentional encoding of Earth's position and cosmic constants to be recognizable by an intelligent civilization.
- The precise alignment of the Giza pyramids and their potential impact on Earth's gravity during its orbit are cited as evidence of advanced ancient Egyptian knowledge in geometry and astronomy, possibly enabling an interplanetary communication system.
- Critics note the lack of technological means in ancient times to support such cosmic broadcasting, and archaeologists generally maintain that the pyramids were monumental tombs, dismissing speculative theories like the "Orion correlation theory" as unsupported by evidence.
- Jafari acknowledges his theory is theoretical and requires further data, while the idea continues to fuel popular speculation about extraterrestrial connections to the pyramids despite mainstream skepticism.
