A new discovery in Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza suggests the structure was not just a pharaoh's final resting place, but also a giant power plant.

Scientists blasted the 4,600-year-old structure with electromagnetic waves, a form of radiation that travel though the universe, finding it focused and amplified the energy into specific chambers and around the base.

Electromagnetic waves are used in such research because the radiation interacts with matter in unique ways, allowing experts to probe specific details about a structure's composition, arrangement and dynamics.

The waves built up as energy in the King's chamber, the Queen's chamber, and an unfinished chamber beneath the structure. Scientists concluded the Pyramid may have been a gigantic resonator that was designed to trap electromagnetic waves.

Retired aerospace engineer Christopher Dunn, who has spent years analyze the pyramid, recently shared that research like this suggests there was a greater purpose behind the building the structure.

Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience in April 2024, Dunn said the Northern Shaft of the pyramid has an appearance similar to a ube-like structure used to transmit microwaves and electromagnetic energy.

'That's a part of the theory in the Giza power plant,' he said. 'There are two chemicals that are introduced into the chamber, and the chemicals mix, and they boil off hydrogen [to create energy].'

As for the purpose of turning this structure into a giant clean energy power plant, scientists of the study said it's still a mystery - but the Egyptians may have been much more advanced than anyone thought.

'I don't think there's any part of that pyramid that did not serve a practical function,' Dunn told Rogan.

Dunn spent 30 years conducting computer analyses of the pyramids, landing on the theory that the ancient Egyptian builders had access to highly refined tools, modern construction techniques, and even mega-machines - despite there being no archaeological record of their use 

The 2018 study, conducted by researchers from ITMO University in Russia, focused on the response of the pyramid to waves with wavelengths between 656 and 1,968 feet, a range commonly associated with radio frequencies.
