The Hoax of Pyramid Power

[Spike]

There is another thread talking about this, but there is no place to make a reply. Whats up with that. Pyramid Power is a hoax. Its been around since the 70's and has been proven over and over to be a joke. Here's the latest on it.

"In 2005, an episode of MythBusters was aired on the Discovery Channel in which a test of pyramid power was performed, using pyramids built to the specifications found in pyramid power claims, such as using the location of the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Several scenarios were tested — perishables (in this case food and a flower) rotting, and razor blade sharpening. The tests, once corrected for errors, yielded no appreciable differences between items in the pyramids and items outside."

Don't fall for the mumbo jumbo folks, its will cost you money in the end.

A most interesting post, Skakus -- and a very warm welcome to the forum, too.

I can't speak for Dr Watson, and nor can he answer for himself because of his very premature death, but could it be that he mentioned north-south alignment because that's what the ancients used?

You mentioned alignment to the north star, Polaris.  That would work fine in the northern hemisphere, of course. Down here in the Antipodes we'd have a bit of a problem with that... Maybe an alternative alignment with the Southern Cross?

Dunno...I'll have to give it a try.

Trouble is, the Egyptians et alia functioned in the northern hemisphere...as far as we know they didn't cross the equator. Or did they?

Anyway, despite the Mythbusters, the north-south alignment seems to help keep my scalpel blades nice'n'sharp, so I'm not too fussed. (Er, no. I'm not a surgeon...I use 'em for other than human meat...!!)

An interesting thought you raise about pyramids...roulette...orbital movements...and so on.  It's precisely that sort of creative, lateral thinking that the PonderPoints are intended to foster and encourage in the Numeronomy Study Group. You'd be a great asset there, I'm sure.

Thanks again for your post. Much looking forward to your future contributions.

Skakus = Another member for numeronomy group?

Yes, indeed, if he cares to apply. 

I pointed him there when I wrote: "An interesting thought you raise about pyramids...roulette...orbital movements...and so on.  It's precisely that sort of creative, lateral thinking that the PonderPoints are intended to foster and encourage in the Numeronomy Study Group.

Hopefully he will feel it's worth joining once he's seen what we're about...

but given the obvious similarity of the orbital movements within the game and indeed within our planetary existance>>

Lets just forget random outcomes and the laws of large numbers. Instead lets look at hocus pocus, thats the ticket.

Is the above comment justified or not?


Decide for yourselves, folks...



DEFINITION:  ho⋅cus-po⋅cus

   /ˈhoʊkəsˈpoʊkəs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [hoh-kuhs-poh-kuhs] Show IPA noun, verb, -cused, -cus⋅ing or (especially British) -cussed, -cus⋅sing.
–noun
1.    a meaningless chant or expression used in conjuring or incantation.
2.    a juggler's trick; sleight of hand.
3.    trickery; deception.
4.    unnecessarily mysterious or elaborate activity or talk to cover up a deception, magnify a simple purpose, etc.
–verb (used with object)
5.    to play tricks on or with.
–verb (used without object)
6.    to perform tricks; practice trickery or deception.
Origin:
1615–25; pseudo-Latin rhyming formula used by jugglers and magicians

Synonyms:
3. deceit, dishonesty, hanky-panky, double-dealing.


Now let the readers:

• bear in mind the definition of hocus pocus
  
• take a look at the prescribed readings for numeronomy (please look very hard for evidence of trickery, deceit, deception, tricks, conjuring or sleight of hand)
  
• then decide if the hat fits
  

This is the best way for everyone to properly evaluate for themselves.


If you decide it is not 'hocus pocus' according to the definitions, and you have an interest in exploring numbers and relationships, then please consider joining our Numeronomy Study Group.

The door is open to all who fit the two requirements listed there.

If you decide it is hocus pocus then self-edit what your read, of course, -- and just ignore it all...  [He said, stating the obvious!]

This is my first and last post on this thread to encourage you to do your own thinking, and not let someone else make your decisions for you!

unnecessarily mysterious or elaborate activity or talk>>>

That pretty much describes it.
