during the Old<\/a> (2649\u20132130 B.C.) and Middle Kingdom (2030 to 1650 B.C) eras.<\/p>\nHowever, as Jarafi pointed out, \u201cmodern theorists have proposed that the unique dimensions and placement of the pyramids may reflect more than just symbolic or funerary intent.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cInstead, these features could be part of an encoded system designed to communicate information about the Earth\u2019s position, rotation, or relationship with cosmic constants such as the speed of light,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
In the paper, he argued that the Great Pyramid\u2019s has several characteristics that suggest that it served as a \u201cgravitational transmitter\u201d of interstellar proportions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pyramid could serve not only as an architectural marvel, but also as a geospatial marker, potentially functioning within a broader system of gravitational communication,\u201d asserted Jafari. Mark Newcombe\/visionsingolf.com\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n
One of the main traits? Its coordinates is situated at 29.979234 degrees north latitude, a number that\u2019s a dead ringer for the speed of light \u2014 299,792,458 meters per second \u2014 when the decimal point is moved.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe match between these two values is accurate up to the first seven digits,\u201d Jafari exclaims, dubbing this phenomenon \u201cstatistically extraordinary.\u201d <\/p>\n
He believed that this may have been an attempt to embed Earth\u2019s geography with spatial or mathematical data \u201cin a format recognizable to any intelligent observer familiar with physics and astronomy.\u201d<\/p>\n
In turn, any mathematically literate civilization would be able to deduce our planet\u2019s position in space like an intergalactic GPS.<\/p>\n
The researcher also noted that Khufu and the other two pyramids on the Giza Plateau \u2014 Khafre and Menkaure \u2014 are aligned in a precise Northwest-to-Southeast direction. <\/p>\n

This precision seemed to indicate, per the researcher, that the ancient Egyptians had an advanced grasp of geometry, astronomy and other complex subjects, meaning that concocting an interplanetary road map would not be beyond their expertise. <\/p>\n
One of the more high-falutin assertions was that the Great Pyramid\u2019s precise position and significant mass could impact Earth\u2019s gravity.<\/p>\n
To shed light on this idea, he compared the Sun\u2019s gravitational pull on Earth with its affect on the pyramidal structure.<\/p>\n
Jafari argued that while Khufu\u2019s gravitational influence was \u201cnegligible\u201d given Earth\u2019s total mass, it still played an important role during our planet\u2019s orbit.<\/p>\n
Specifically, while Earth serves as a giant carrier signal when circumnavigating our solar star, Khufu\u2019s movement through the daily rotation subtly modulates the transmission over time.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Jafari declared the idea is theoretical and requires more data to support it. Meanwhile, physicists have noted that there wasn\u2019t any tech back then that would allow the pyramids to broadcast this cosmic correspondence.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, this hasn\u2019t stopped people from drawing parallels between the pyramids and outer space.<\/p>\n
In the 1980s, researcher Robert Bauval asserted that the pyramids served as a \u201cgateway to the stars\u201d and were constructed based on the constellation Orion, according to Astronomy.org.<\/a><\/p>\nDubbed the \u201cOrion correlation theory,\u201d this bold hypothesis was based on the so-called similarities between the layout of the triangular trio and the relative separation between the three stars on Orion\u2019s Belt.<\/p>\n
However, archaeologists pointed out that there is no evidence to support this claim and accused him of pareidolia\u00a0\u2014 the human penchant for applying patterns and meanings to objects when there are none.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When ET phoned home, was he using the Great Pyramid?
