New research from an international team of physicists has revealed that the Great Pyramid of Giza may be able to focus electromagnetic energy through its hidden chambers and under its base.
The team is now hoping to create a similar concentrating effect on a nanoscale size. These nanoparticles could then be used for the development of sensors and highly efficient solar cells.
The study has been published in the Journal of Applied Physics.

Uhm.. I do not know what or how the Laser Zentrum Hannover plays into this, as RT reported. I received some laser-based training there and nothing indicated any kind of Egyptian references or even theoretical sciences in the mentioned areas of physics.
The study itself does not mention the LZH, too.

Pretty interesting stuff..
Mainstream science mocks it, but it holds water to me. I am not as smart as mainstream scientists, though,
I don't see why this news is huge. I'm not even sure why researchers are looking at this. It's not that interesting, and they didn't even verify their simulations on the real pyramid.

With all the talk of the pyramids having been built or at least directed by a more advanced civilization, this news is huge if legitimate.
What they did was simulate aiming some radio waves at the pyramid to see what happened to them.
Perhaps those simple stone tombs are actually advanced energy devices.

There are lots of ways to focus electromagnetic energy.
It is possible to guide magnetic field lines using a shaped magnetic material. Just as field lines concentrate when entering the south pole of a magnet from a large area, an external magnetic field can be "gathered" using, for example, a cone-shaped piece of iron. The cone can be positioned such that the static field spread over a large area enters the wide end of the cone. The iron confines the field and will guide it to the tip of the cone, where it will emerge with a much higher density and, therefore, a much higher magnetic field strength.
Nothing new about using different shapes to focus energy.
But it would never work using the actual Pyramids because they are not made of metal.
Or if it worked it would be inferior to a metal Pyramid.
So I really doubt that the great Pyramids were built with this purpose in mind.

I saw this story today on my book of face, but didn't really read it. Now that I have (thanks for posting it and reminding me), it's disappointing to see that it's all theoretical right now.
Hopefully they can replicate the theoretical effect in measurable results--it certainly would be vindicating to people who subscribe to power-station idea behind the origin of the pyramids...maybe.
I would say that bringing rain and clouds to the area would be the main reason they built the pyramids.

The entire article is about figuring out a method for mapping the internals of the pyramids and searching for undiscovered or hidden chambers... it has nothing to do with what ever fantasy people have above such as 'weather control' or 'light shows'
The study all all about mapping, nothing more... Still interesting, but, my god we don't need the media to sensationalize, we already have everyone here doing that... i put it to the OP that you barely understood the introduction of the article let alone anything else... yet still went off down la la land and interpreted it however you wanted...like Ricky incorrectly did
Two of the main objectives of our study are partial removing of unreasonable speculations about electromagnetic properties of the Great Pyramid and the demonstration of flexibility of the multipole decomposition method for research at both nano- and macro-scales

So does it rain a lot near the pyramids? Has it ever? Vegas has taller buildings, and I don't think it's raining all the time there. Sure isn't raining all the time near the pyramids.
Mountain RANGES do the same thing in certain areas.
I get the fascination with ancient Egypt, but the absolute nonsense people lay on bothers me.
Just because you and I can't figure out how to build a pyramid with PAID labor, doesn't mean people back in the day couldn't. No aliens, no weather manipulating nonsense, just ego and enough coin to get it done. Other people have shown it's easy.
