Lightning strike hypothesis for pyramid chemical reactions disputed. Land of Chem proposes lightning striking the pyramid as a mechanism for generating steam and kickstarting chemical reactions Host argues methane would ignite before water would boil if struck by lightning Lightning strikes are not predictable enough to be a reliable industrial process
Drum proposes lightning strikes as the trigger for chemical reactions inside the pyramids. The host counters that methane would ignite before water could boil under a lightning strike, and that lightning is far too unpredictable for an "industrial" process. He also notes granite doesn't conduct electricity, undermining electric pyramid theories. ⚡
Key Facts
- Land of Chem proposes lightning striking the pyramid as a mechanism for generating steam and kickstarting chemical reactions
- Host argues methane would ignite before water would boil if struck by lightning
- Lightning strikes are not predictable enough to be a reliable industrial process
- Host also disputes electric pyramid hypotheses, noting granite does not conduct electricity and the structures are grounded
- Alternative claim mentioned: ions from the ionosphere acting as a radiant capacitor in a wet pyramid
