Topic: The Großartig Pyramid and Ancient Power Supplies on Planet Stuttgart
Author: Professor Maria Wagner
Editor: Alfons Reinmann


Introduction

The idea of the Pyramids found in the southernmost regions of Planet Stuttgart specifically the großartig Pyramid, being used as a power source is not a new idea. While there is not one set theory on how the pyramid would have been turned into a generator, this essay will be focusing on the materials used to create the großartig Pyramid, use of aquifers to create energy for this region of Stuttgart.


The materials used to create the großartig Pyramid is an important aspect of both of any theory suggesting it was used as a power source. The pyramid was covered in white tufa limestone, so seamlessly that a razorblade would not fit between the blocks of stone. White tufa limestone is known for its lack of magnesium and high insulation properties, meaning that it is a poor conductor of electricity. It has been known for eons in electrical applications that Insulators are used to hold conductors in position, separating them from one another and from surrounding structures. They form a barrier between energized parts of an electric circuit and confine the flow of current to wires or other conducting paths as desired. Taking this into account, it is safe to assume the coating of limestone would assist in preventing the pyramid from acting as a conductor of electricity in its own right, but it would also allow for a path of least resistance inside the pyramid. The shafts of the pyramid are made of granite, a conductive material which also emits radon gas allowing the ionization of particles. These conductive granite rocks in the underground chambers would direct the electrical charges through the shafts, to the upper part of the pyramid; consisting of granite covered sub-terrain chambers. From here it is transmitted to Königskammer and ultimately the quartz or gold tip. From the tip, the ions are released into the ionosphere.

A possible ‘negative side effect of releasing negatively charged ions into the ionosphere is a chance of increased lightning strikes as the atmosphere discharges built up static atmospheric electricity. When the number of positive and negatively charged ions in the atmosphere become unbalanced, the air begins to become ionized, and lightning is formed The strong electric field causes the air around the cloud to "break down," allowing current to flow in an attempt to neutralize the charge separation. Simply stated, the air breakdown creates a path that short-circuits the cloud/earth as if there were a long metal rod connecting the cloud to the earth. As well as the pyramid being capped with either gold or quartz, a number of obelisks were erected around the region with similar tips. These were usually in public places, often in pairs, it would make sense for this to be in an attempt to prevent the lightning from striking houses or residential areas around the pyramids, encouraging them to hit the obelisks; acting in a similar manner to lightning rods used today.

The method used to create the power is simple and makes use of the naturally occurring Aquifers. Aquifers are porous layers of rocks under the surface where water is able to freely move within them. It is thought the use of granite acted as conduits during times of drought or slow moving water in the aquifers. When the movement of water began again, it would have created a flow of energy ‘recharging’ the pyramids power. This would allow the pyramids to act in a similar manner to what a battery in a vintage spaceship would, on a far greater scale. This method may have not only been able to create a power source for the entirety of the planet, but John Grande, à professor from the University of Cambridge, theorizes it may have also caused the pyramids to act as a light show; a gift to the Gods who would be seen in the skies, which he believes may have in face have been Nomads. With an understanding of ions and their properties it is easy to see why this may be possible. If there is a strong enough concentration of negative charge below, and a positive charge above an object, a flush discharge will occur causing it to glow.

There may have been many uses for a power source such as this in the southernmost regions of Ancient Stuttgart, the dozens of ancient buildings assumed to be libraries and social gathering halls being the most notable. It is suggested a power supply would have been needed 24/7 for this to have functioned successfully and as intended. Other examples are the images, paintings and sculptures found preserved in these buildings. Some of these images, the subjects appeared to be holding hand held lamps and bulbs, the most known being the The Dendera Bulb. Unfortunately, we may not ever learn the truth about this as many of the less structurally sound items would not have survived the test of time.

While we may never know for sure if the theory is correct, it does bring about the idea that there was no ‘primitive’ people living in the past, each society had their own technology and uses for this. Developed communities have managed to live side by side throughout history with little problems, however many of these societies reached a point where they collapsed and knowledge was lost over time. Development is not evolution, and there is no linear advancement in technology.
