Pyramid 'was a water filter' "A Canadian construction worker claims the Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a giant water filter to cope with an event on the scale of the Bible's Great Flood. He told the Canoe website: "I'm in construction and read blueprints all the time. It caught me by surprise and I started to explore its potential. I was looking for evidence that would refute the theory, but instead I found evidence to support it. "I decided to build a stainless steel replica scale model of the interior chambers of the Great Pyramid. What happens is in the subterranean chamber, if you introduce water and a heating element, you create vapour and have a perfect working water distillation system." Mr Dupont, who is writing a book on his research, added: "Nobody, in my research, has looked into the Great Pyramid as a machine. It is a machine. I can get you a plumbing engineer, a steam engineer and a refrigeration engineer that will say this works." [Ananova: News] OK then. I guess that settles it. </snide> 10:54:55 PM    comment   trackback []
