Frequency of "A"

"In addition, all reflections from the parallel walls of the ball court are first reflections, that is, they have a difference in arrival of less than 35 milliseconds with respect to the direct signal and therefore help the sound reinforcement of the message. The fact that the walls surrounding the north and south temple are less than the parallel walls of the court, prevent the rays that fall in this area from the north temple or the south temple are returned or reflected to the court, thus avoiding unwanted reflections and therefore interference."

Another consideration from a respected source:

While I am an archaeologist, I specialize in ancient Egyptian archaeology. So I'm afraid I am not the man to ask about Mesoamerican archaeology.

@Piney would be the guy to ask.

. I believe that the AEs would find the described  acoustics magical, supernatural.  Possibly used for psychological manipulation by the Chief.  

 

 For fun,,lets say that the acoustic was intentional and used to by Khufu to impress whomever he needed to impress of his divinity. But there was a problem. Anyone associated with the magic acoustical box would know it was a trick. They knew that the emporer had no clothes. Khufu would have had them "swimming with the fishes". posthaste. This would explain why Khafre's pyramid didn't include a similar magic box.

Well, Khufu wouldn't have needed to go through the trouble to convince his subjects of his divinity. The fact that he was able to command and marshal all of the human and material resources of his vast realm for the purpose of constructing his massive tomb would have been evidence enough.

And in order for anyone to experience such a phenomena, they would have to lie down inside the stone sarcophagus while still alive and start humming.

I don't think Khufu would have lain down inside the sarcophagus to see if it fit. Do you?

Maybe the magic box was the reason he got the "best" pyramid.

The granite used for the sarcophagus was quarried at Aswan. The site was available for any king who chose to use it. Khafre's sarcophagus was granite, Menkaure on the other hand chose a basalt sarcophagus. It was up to the tastes of the individual monarch.

I am not aware of any ancient Egyptian correlation between acoustics and divinity. Perhaps you can enlighten me?

No. Is there a hieroglyph for "Acoustic"

Do you actually believe they built the chamber to a specific acoustic frequency?

[Lord Harry 1,633]

@WVKthe Egyptian word for "sound" or "voice" was kheru. 

The word for "music" was shema.

Considering there is no evidence to suggest or support the hypothesis all it is and will be in speculation, until and if there is evidence to suggest it's a possibility, is found.

It's would not be a good use of resources to start such a study.

Hi Dany

Yes, and seeing how it was sealed up after internment is would be a waste of resources to construct it for acoustical use.

Pointless to discuss without  acoustical study. The reason I referenced the goofy websites is because that all their is.

i think someone has also mentioned Herodotus and his claims that the Great Pyramid wasn't used as a tomb and that Khufu's tomb is someplace else. the fact that the ancients also had their doubts about the great pyramid is significant and shouldn't be over looked. but the OP is using the argument of frequency which would suggest either a radio transmitter or a power source.

Actually Herodotus never claimed the Great Pyramid wasn't the tomb of Khufu. On the contrary, he mentions an underground chamber in which the king was buried. 

Of course Herodotus was wrong here. The Great Pyramid's subterranean chamber never contained a burial. Rather it likely had symbolic importance, with its rough unfinished state reminiscent of the Duat.

my understanding is that Herodotus never mentions that the pyramids were tombs. further more, Herodotus say's that Cheops and the others were buried underneath the giza plateau.

Interesting article. As it mentions, the caves likely have great archaeological potential. With that being said, it is clear from the presence of stone sarcopagi that the kings of the Fourth Dynasty were buried with in their pyramid complexes.

apart from the stone sarcophagus what other remains suggest that the pyramids were burial places?
