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.
