We've Wildly Misunderstood the Great Pyramid - Geoffrey Drumm, DemystifySci #411

from The DemystifySci Podcast · host DemystifySci

In today's conversation (Part 1 of 2), Geoffrey Drumm ( @thelandofchem ) returns to explore a radically different interpretation of the Great Pyramid as an industrial system rather than a tomb. The discussion walks through a step-by-step model involving water flow, gas reactions, and staged chemical processes inside the structure. Along the way, we connect architectural features of the pyramid to known principles of fluid dynamics, catalysis, and acoustic effects. The result is a provocative rethinking of ancient engineering and what these monuments may have actually been built to do.Part 2: https://youtu.be/yCf6_AGJr_MPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!
