Ancient Power Grid at Giza? – Geoffrey Drumm, DemystifySci #398
Fri Feb 06 2026
What powered the pyramids has always been the missing question. In this second part of our conversation with Geoffrey Drumm, @thelandofchem , explore a provocative but physically grounded idea: that ancient Egyptian structures tapped into natural electricity: earth currents, lightning, and conductive geology. They channeled this electricity to drive large-scale chemical processes at the pyramids, which we discussed in Part 1. Drawing on field evidence, climate history, and experimental modeling, the discussion reframes Giza not as a ceremonial site, but as an engineered landscape tuned to environmental energy. If this view is even partly correct, it suggests ancient technology didn’t fight nature for power...it listened to it.Part 1: https://youtu.be/7vuo5dl5bF4PATREON 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!
