Thank you for this!
very interesting and amazing....

Then there's people like Christopher Dunn a real no B.S. scientist only looking for the truth and wants the world to know about it, not cover it up or lock it away from prying eyes.
Chris has done a lot to bring in the mainstream educational people in the direction of realizing their are alternatives to just what we've been taught
The Northern Shaft served as a conduit, or a waveguide, and its original metal lining--which passed with extreme precision through the pyramid from the outside--served to channel a microwave signal into the King's Chamber.

Mr. Dunn is not a scientist, far from it, nor does he claim to be one; people with actual expertise in the fields he ventures into consider him at best poorly educated on the subjects or just ignore the stuff he makes up.
Question when you have compared what Dunn puts out whawith the counter-arguments how do you evaluate the evidence?
Even Chris says that he will bow his hat to those who prove him wrong. He even says his idea about the pyramid is just a theory.
I was thinking earlier today, what if someone came in and drilled those wholes lets say 50 years ago. Is there clear evidence that those holes drilled in the stone at the same age as the civilization proposed? Just wondering! But I have to think the measuring he did is mighty impressive and I've seen a ton of ufo - ancient alien documentaries

He has? It isn't what you call, 'what people have been taught' its the evidence which refutes Dunn's material. May I ask what you feel is the strongest evidence Dunn has?
His book is full of scientific howlers such as:
Page 221 of his book

Since we have now explored this passage - are they metal lined? Nope. Do they pass thru the pyramid in 'extreme precision'? Nope, they twist and turn and as we learned they were sealed off in ancient times.......

Don't tell me Hanslune that you are buying the "mainstream" theory of hemp ropes - listen I don't know what the truth is - but I'll be dang skippy if anyone really knows the truth.
We have been sold the "mainstream" interpratation which is obviously influenced by the religion/dogma/fear of rocking the boat mentality of most egyptologists.
I wont say there are alien artifacts under the paw of the Sphinx - but it seems very obvouis there was much to our ancient world we are still grasping to understand.
but he has a point . . . we are not being told the exact truth. The question is why????

The stones were shaped by hand, primarily using harder rounded stones (often quartz river cobbles), and I've seen a number of these in the stone quarries. They also used some bronze tools to extract blocks, but the shaping involving battering the blocks with the hammerstones. Moving the largest stones involved dragging them with ropes, and often required a thousand men or more. They only moved the largest stones over short distances of a few kilometers. The stones they moved up to Ecuador were still quite large, but only up to about 700 kg/1,500 lbs - these I suspect were carried on something made from wooden poles, like a litter. Archaeologists and other researchers have done quite a bit of work on these questions, and there is plenty of historical and archaeological evidence to show that the Incas were quite capable of doing these things using very basic technology in combination with the labor of many thousands of their subjects.
