The Great Pyramids of Egypt,
have long been a source of mystery and intrigue.Built
as tombs to the great Pharaohs, the pyramids were believed
to possess supernatural powers in helping to lead the
rulers into the afterlife - and some believe that pyramids
continue to display powers far beyond our understanding.
When
examining the inner chambers of Egyptian pyramids, explorers
were stunned when they found that stray cats that had
become lost in the tombs mysteriously were perfectly
mummified. One of these explorers, Monsieur Bovis of
France went home and constructed a scale model of the
pyramid. When he placed a dead cat in this model, it
mummified perfectly. Further experiments over the years
found that razor blades placed inside of a scale model
of a Cheops pyramid retained sharpness much longer than
normal. It was also found to keep food fresher, tenderized
meat, and aided in reducing headache pain - and possibly
increased sexual ability. It was believed that pyramid
somehow caused polarized microwave signals which could
be channeled in a form of electrical power.
As
part of the American way, when these discoveries became
known, plenty of aspiring entrepreneurs sought to make
a fortune surrounding these mysterious propertied. "Pyramid"
products popped up, including Pyramid tents, blade sharpeners,
and energy generators. While these gadgets and claims
may seem to incredible to be true, a number of books
and magazines alleged that these effects were real.
Real or not, the fad basically came and went in a few
years. |
