Yes, you did I quoted you in the post that you quoted. Here it is again:
Once again this fixation on words and their meaning as creating the entire meaning of what someone says. Look at the word in its context. I stated this testing supported further testing which was the onsite tests.
I agreed it was a similation and thats what the word 'test' was referring to. Please read the 'word' in the context of the sentence they are written in.
Popular scientific write-up, there is no actual new test performed, you should read the article.
Ok so I will apply the same logic to your claim. You objection holds not weight as its just a popular comment on a social media thread. I would rather believe the popular scientfic write-up than someones personal opinion on a social media thread.
But it was not just the popular science article that was making these claims was it. It was the actual scientists.
Scientists (not the article) concluded the Pyramid may have been a gigantic resonator that was designed to trap electromagnetic waves.
We have no reason to believe that any electromagnetic considerations was part of the egyptians purpose. It has not been experimentally verified to even be a real thing (how do you believe all the boundary layers between the blocks would affect the antenna performance?).
I don't know, isnt that what the tests are for. The fact is they have found good theorectical reasons to do further tests. There have been a number of theorectical studies that tell us there is good reason.
Even if the Egyptians did not purposely build the pyramids for generating any effects. Its still worth the investigation by the fact that effects are theorised by the modelling. They claim this can teach us something. Your actually contradicting science now by denying the idea of persuing further investigation when the theory supports it.
But wait. Did not some of the tests happen on site in the pyramids.
Scientists blasted the 4,600-year-old structure with electromagnetic waves, a form of radiation that travel though the universe, finding it focused and amplified the energy into specific chambers and around the base.
The simulation did not touch on generating any energy, the electric and magnetic field sources in the calculation was external to the pyramid.
But there was also actual tests done in the pyramids that show that it concentrated energy into the chambers. Its no longer theorectical.
What impact did the stones have then if you have read it (they assumed normal limestone)? If they had used other stones in Egypt how would that change the results?
The made a couple of assumptions and all science does. They did not just assume limestone. They also accounted for the pink granite in the chambers and shafts.
This stone has high piezoelectric effect under pressure. Its the position of the chambers, shafts and stones that generate the concentratede effect in the Kings chamber. The quartz crystals in pink granite is known for its high piezoelectric effect.
But its not just the stones. Its also the location of the pyramids themselves on a high electromagnetic location. Over a minreal rich natural subterrainian water way deposit. All this is not just some coincident and accident. The Egyptians were chemists and physicists as well in their own way.
As the scientists who did the research said and not popular science "
Ancient Egyptians were the original--albeit unknowing--nanotechnologists."
How did the location influence the simulation? Did they have any data on the permittivity of the substrate in their calculations?
Not that particular research but other research has establish the influence of the location on potential advanced knowledge of nature.

It is a simulation study, they basically only tested the pyramidal shape.
Why is it that skeptics are so eaher to minimise everything. They did way more than just test its shape. They were able tyo get new tech from it that can have real world effects.
No, peer-review is part of the modern scientific process.
Its become a a tool to deny scientific ideas that don't conform to the orthodoxy in some cases. Some ideas don't even get through the front door. They are deemed unreal before peer review. Some non peer review science has shown peer review as wrong.
I'm not dismissing anything, but your supposed peer-reviewed papers (which no longer are peer-reviewed) don't support your claims.
But you do so without the same standards you demand of those proposing alternative ideas. You demand of them peer review while claiming them wrong wroung without peer review. Its double standards.
Does it even exist? Who has measured it?
First the high Piezoelectric effect in granite has already been verified. So its logical that a concentration of granite in the chambers is going to cause a higher Piezoelectric effect. From memory the shafts were also granite. Its whether they knew this and made it so to concentrate the effect in the chambers. .

Electromagnetic Properties of Pyramids from Positions of Photonics
The choice of the operating wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is justified for a pyramid considered as an antenna. It is shown that due to the strong dispersion of the refractive index of the pyramid material, there will always be a part of the spectral range, in which the refractive index...

Electromagnetic properties of the Great Pyramid: First multipole resonances and energy concentration
Piezoelectrics are well-known, what do they have to do with the pyramids in Giza that is the question.
Thats what all the articles on the Piezoelectric effects of the pyramids are trying to find out.
So link that peer-reviewed article then? What natural phenomena are we talking about here, what do you believe was the source of the radio waves? Or vibrations for piezoelectric power generation?
Not sure if we are at the peer review stage yet. Still there is good science behind the idea.
The Overall Science behind the Pyramid
The generation of electricity requires the pyramid to vibrate always. Hence the location at which the electromagnetic waves are more on the surface of the globe are chosen to be the perfect sites for the pyramid. For example, the pyramid at Giza is standing on the underwater currents of the river Nile plus on a location where high electromagnetic flux lines can be measured and felt. This provides the vibrations required for the crystals to vibrate at all times. And Graphite rods are connected to the pyramid floors made of diamagnetic granites.[4] The figure below illustrates the ionic emission at the apex.

Normally, if you claim it you show it. I'm ok with uncertainties regarding the pyramids.
Yes and when I show it its dismissed without the same level of peer review.
"
The NMR results suggest..." What does suggest mean?
Here we go with word meanings. So if I find a word that means 'assurity' rather than suggest then logically that would mean the findings are definite.
So when the article says 'Barsoum (the lead scientists) 'the outer casing stones
were indeed consistent with a reconstituted limestone'. The the word '
indeed' means they definitely found that the casing stones were made of reconsituted limestone.
What about
"electron microscope analysis indicates the Egyptians used diatomaceous earth, a naturally occurring, commonly found soft sedimentary rock". Not (suggests) but definietly used diatomaceous earth in the mixture that was found in the samples of casing stones.
The magnetic moments are not perfect north-south, actually from the pictures they have enough east-west spread so some kind of statistical test would be appropriate to determine if they are semi-aligned by chance alone.
So more tests need to be done rather than dismiss it as conspiracy or psuedoscience.
So what was the p-value then?
I don't know. I think you would need way more stones tested to gather enough data to determine this.
How is this picture evidence that it was soft?
Can you see the lip at the bottom as though the soft mixture spread into a gap between the blocks. This was not the result of grinding the block away to create a protruding lip. We see much evidence of this signature. I have linked them earlier. Why is it now you only recognise them.
Lime based cement yes, but there was other plasters around.
Yes an advanced cement that is revealing an advanced tech that we are recognising 4,500 years later. The advanced knowledge keeps getting pushed back earlier and earlier.
Fine, but
@sjastro have a competing hypothesis, so I'll let the archaeologist and the geophysicists work this on out before I'll draw any firm conclusions.
Thats ok but like I said a social media platform is not a good place to make the case and especially make claims about existing peer review or even scientific reports or research that has been published. At least these make full article with the process linked out and tests done. I have not seen this yet and if I do then I will include it.
Because of the accumulation of data pointing that way. At the very least to do further investigation. You have to remember that these ideas and findings have only come in the past decade or so because the tech has improved. We are really only beginning to understand the level of knowledge and tech involved with the ancient Egyptians.
So how many refused articles have the proponents sent to the journals? Any? Are their refusal rate higher than others? Otherwise it is just them complaining.
It depends. As shown there are a few in mainstream journals. There are a fair few Russian journals lol. But there are a fair few good scientfific papers that are not yet peer reviewed. But as a total I don;t think there are many articles done full stop. I don't think many have even been submitted at all.
Its still seen as fringe so it has a long way to go before being accepted by the mainstream. I think perhaps the area of natural energies may lead to more research into the Egyptians ancient worls as is happening now. We have a long history of seeing the pyramids as being something more than just a tomb. Now we have the tech to find out. Watch this space I reckon.
