And they had tons of highly conductive copper they could have used instead. Pound that copper into thin sheets and any electric current would have been collected and efficiently conducted. Were these ancient aliens or ancient idiots?
Zoser is still at zero volts.
If they had the technology to cut and position stone to this precision they would if required have fitted copper. Anyone looking at the design of that pyramid would have to come to the conclusion that they were capable of almost anything. Conclusion: copper not required.
Several things are well established such as the piezo effect and radioactivity from granite and are a matter of common science. Being adherents of the classic formal education I thought you would know this?
Then add in the resonating power of thousands of tonnes of granite, the electromagnetic radiation from this pyramid would have extended tens of miles.
It's the only common sense theory that fits the evidence.
All be it not comfortable for some.
