The Great Pyramid: Tomb or Ancient Power Plant?
For centuries, the Great Pyramid of Giza has stood as an enduring marvel, its towering presence sparking awe and curiosity. Mainstream history tells us it was built 4,500 years ago as a grand tomb for Pharaoh Khufu, a monument to honor a god-king of Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty. Yet, a closer look reveals a structure that defies the conventions of a burial site-lacking artifacts, hieroglyphs, or the ornate decorations typical of Egyptian tombs. No mummies have ever been found inside any pyramid, including this one. So, if it wasn’t a tomb, what was it? Some daring thinkers, including the visionary Nikola Tesla, suggest an astonishing possibility: the Great Pyramid was a colossal power plant, tapping into the Earth’s energy and distributing it wirelessly across the globe-an idea that might have been conceived not 4,500 years ago, but perhaps 13,500 years in the distant past.
