Red Pyramid reservoir system and three-chamber ammonia synthesis theory. Land of Chem claims Red Pyramid's three internal chambers were used for ammonia synthesis via steam reforming of methane An external reservoir around the pyramid was reportedly 33 feet (11 meters) high The first two chambers aligned north-south; the third (synthesis) chamber is aligned east-west

Land of Chem's theory gets specific: the Red Pyramid's three chambers allegedly produced ammonia via steam reforming of methane. An external reservoir reportedly stood 33 feet tall around the structure. The first two chambers align north-south, the third east-west. An eastern satellite structure is proposed as a reservoir intake valve.

Key Facts

  • Land of Chem claims Red Pyramid's three internal chambers were used for ammonia synthesis via steam reforming of methane
