this is exactly what I'm asking...let's assume all the wild theories are true...so WHAT were they powering???

If the pyramids are older than 12,000 years, ask yourself. How many of our current structures would still be around in 12,000 years?
Especially with water erosion at least 12 feet above sea level and/or a giant flood.

Should there be artifacts besides the pyramids? Yes.
Is it believable that they have been lost, destroyed, or buried? Yes.

So, let's focus on what we do know.
Those pyramids are super advanced (construction, geometric, astrology, manufacturing).
The cylindrical pillars under the pyramids are taller than any building in the world. (And may meet or exceed any current subterranean military construction).

So, is it more likely that it was built for a purpose (like power generation)....
Or for a ceremonial burial chamber?

Have Canadians always been this ridiculously obnoxious? I mean, how will America go on without Canadian tourists?

---

Probably.
We just never cared much about them to notice.
But now there is a pushing matching going on.... you see they are just a midget standing on our shoulders.
It's time to push them off and set them back on the ground where they belong.

Hey Canada. Instead of picking a fist fight and trade war....
How about you just cancel the tariffs you have on all of the American products for years?

Simply put, human beings of that time, did not have the ability to go build infrastructure TWO MILES below the Earth's surface.

This is true if you only consider the single-timeline, hunter-gatherer narrative.
If you consider a Younger Dryas event (or some other civilization reset), it is entirely possible to have reached a technology beyond hunter-gatherer in the past. Especially with the potential for the pyramids being a lot older than is currently believed (water erosion on the sphinx, etc).

I've believed for quite some time that the pyramids were some kind of ancient Wardenclyffe tower. To be true, they would have to have rods firmly connected to the bedrock or water table. If this new claim is true, it all but confirms it for me. You'd also need an insulator over the majority of it and a conductor at the capstone, but I believe these have already been accepted as having existed.

Essentially, it forms a SWER for power transmission (Single-Wire Earth Return). And either through Piezoelectricity or Atmospheric voltage gradient (or both), would generate wireless electricity over great distances.

There are many, many things about Giza that we still don't understand and can't explain. So, if even with modern technology, we could not recreate them today....... isn't it possible that it wasn't just some pre-historic humans that ate meat, discovered fire, and worked on a pyramid for 2,000 years just because?
Is it not possible that we may have been much more advanced in the past than we give ourselves credit for?

A few examples:
- High speed drilling
- Precision manufacturing aligning almost perfectly as a geometric scale model for the earth
- Construction techniques to transport and erect the structures
- Chemistry: sulfuric acid in southern shaft and salt mixture in the northern shaft,
- Lack of soot in the corridors
- Unfinished stones above King's chamber tuned precisely to F#, with the coffer tuned to A (the minor 3rd)
- Purpose of subterranean chamber

I'll have to help my kids pick a path one day.
Thankfully, I'm old enough that I'll be retired when they start working. So, they will already have the starting capital and consulting support to transition from job to entrepreneur when they are ready.

Career:
1. Doctor, Accountant, Finance.
- Maybe Engineer but outsourcing is going to be brutal.
- Maybe Lawyer but hours and politics are entry stakes.
2. Trades into Entrepreneur: Electrician, Carpentry, Plumbing, HVAC
3. Buy an established business from someone retiring.
4. Sales, especially if you have connections

Supplement with a Side Hustle until your passion makes enough to become your primary job.
- Real Estate, Merchandise, Sports and Outdoors, etc.

I'd do the route in the opposite order. Fly into Naples/rome... Fly out of Venice.

Cut down 1-2 days from Venice... especially by the end of the trip, it all won't be that "exciting and special". Cut out the trip to Pisa from Florence. I'd personally cut out the day trip from Rome to Naples and just add time in Amalfi.
3 days in amalfi may be 1 too many, but that first day is rough with jet lag. It may be worth only spending 2 nights in Positano so you can do a wine tour in Tuscany.

Here's the ChatMahootney version:

Here's your updated itinerary with 12 nights in Italy:

### **Day 1 (July 4): Depart from Dallas**
- One stop flight from Dallas (DFW) to Naples(NAP).

### **Days 2-4 (July 5-7): Positano (3 Nights)**
- Arrive in Positano and check in to a hotel with a view.
- Explore Positano and the beach to adjust to jet lag.
- Take a day trip to Capri.
- Enjoy a relaxing start to the trip.

### **Days 5-7 (July 8-10): Rome (3 Nights)**

Modular tokamak technology is still our best shot at fusion power.
But it is not remotely necessary with the current MSR fission capabilities.

It pays to be a good person.
Great story.
