Acknowledgments

The authors wish to express their appreciation to all who have helped in the compilation of this book.

They are especially grateful to Borderland Sciences Research Foundation which provided research information and sources and was kind enough to make drawings and photographs available. Our special thanks to Fred Schul and Rebecca Mayo for their excellent sketches, and to Carl D. Knepper for his consultation on electrical field theory.

We are grateful to the many individuals throughout the country who passed along information, experiences, and descriptions of their results with pyramid research and allied fields.

Lastly the authors are grateful to their respective helpmates, without whose encouragement and support the book would never have been written.

PREFACE

No other man-made object has claimed man's attention and wonderment as the Great Pyramid at Gizeh. The largest, heaviest, oldest, and most perfect structure created by human hands continues to overwhelm the imagination, to defy explanation, and to mystify its examiners. So ancient that its origin becomes lost in the shadows of time, it continues to offer up ever new knowledge of man and his environment. Curiously enough, as man's body of scientific knowledge grows, the Great Pyramid, like an embodied and immortal oracle, appears to anticipate the answers. Perhaps it is this encoded and seemingly unending storehouse of wisdom, ever unfolding to those wise enough to unlock its mysteries, that retains through the centuries for the Great Pyramid a central position in man's search for the hows and whys of his existence. And perhaps it is not too poetic to imagine that hidden somewhere in its history, its mathematical perfection, its purpose for being, are man's long-sought answers to his own

destiny. Surely, then, the Great Pyramid would be the Philosopher's Stone.

But while the Great Pyramid was confounding experimentation and tantalizing its investigators to construct better technologies, it charitably offered up one of its many secrets-its shape alone conjured up known and unknown forms of energy affecting both animate and inanimate objects. No sooner had the discovery been made by the Frenchman M. Bovis, that structures built to the exact ratio of the Great Pyramid and placed in the same manner on the north-south magnetic axis would mummify meat, preserve food, sharpen razor blades, etc., than a whole new set of questions was launched concerning the nature of unexplained energy fieldsto say nothing of the fresh wonderment about the pyramid itself.

Bovis's discovery and the followup work by a Czecho-slovakian radio engineer, Karel Drbal, were reported in Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain, by Ostrander and Schroeder. The book, which has claimed a tremendous following in this country and abroad, set loose a stampede of basement tinkerers and tool-shed experimenters, along with professional researchers. Discussion groups and experimental research clubs sprang up around the country to share findings and ideas on the subject. Several newsletters were established and widely circulated.

In the three years since the adventure was launched some very interesting and thought-provoking results have emerged. The effects on persons sitting, sleeping, medi-. tating in pyramid structures have some implication to the fields of physiology, psychology, and metaphysics. Shortened healing time, relief from headaches, better relaxation, weight loss for overweight people, rejuvenation, etc., should say something to the medical profession. Results from meditating within the pyramid and heightened psychic sensitivity should interest the metaphysician and those interested in transcendental states. The effects on plant growth and* seed germination should arouse the in

terest of the horticulturist. And food and water purification and preservation should claim the attention of every concerned person.

The new adventures with pyramids offer exciting possibilities to persons from all walks of lifethe research scientist and the home-workshop buff, the philosophical discourser and the physics student looking for a project. The results of this involvement, however, may have some significance in our constant search for a greater understanding of ourselves and our environment.

Primarily, this book has been written with the hobbyist, lay scientist, and the curious in mind. Some background on the Great Pyramid itself is offered the reader in order that his own experiments with pyramidal shapes can envelop a wider perspective. Various experiments with pyramids are reported on as are our extensive investigations in the field. Included are plans for building pyramids.

If you are successful in your experiments, we feel you will join us in our immense admiration for the technological geniuses of the past. Perhaps you, too, will allow your imagination to take flight as you muse with fond hope that the ancients preserved for us the secret of universal energy.

1. THE PYRAMID:

ANCIENT & NEW MIRACLE WORKER

It is a point of sustained delight to the mystic, of reoccur-ring wonderment to the philosopher, and unceasing embarrassment to the scientist that the oldest man-made structure on the face of the earth continues to elude comprehension by the most brilliant of analytic minds.

We can probe the nature of protoplasm, extract workable concepts of the DNA and RNA life structures, utilize the coherent light of the laser beam, divide the atom, float laboratories in space, and yet the most ancient technological offerings of our forebears defy our examination.

We would like to have our predecessors' belief that we constantly contribute to our body of knowledge, generation after generation progressing to higher and more sophisticated understanding of our environment and ourselves.

We would like to imagine that despite our political and religious fervor and our superstitions, which drove us to burn libraries, demolish shrines, or turn away from

knowledge, nothing of value was really lost or, if so, only temporarily, and that contemporary man has pushed beyond any ancient horizons of truth. We even get away with such claims for a timeuntil someone asks why it is that information now coming to light about the ancients' understanding of consciousness, of the human nervous and bioelectrical systems, continues to anticipate anything we have thus far learned by way of physiology and psychology; why it is we are unable to cut, drill, or match stone as ably as our forebears, who could fit limestone and granite boulders of the Great Pyramid together with a precision only today matched by opticians who perform their work on very small units; why it is, with all of our heavy construction equipment, we cannot move those large stonessome weighing seventy tonsinto place without ramps; why it is that our mathematics continues to struggle for an equality with that of the ancients in the measurement of the earth and the movement of planetary bodies.
