Using well-known methods of theoretical physics to study the electromagnetic response of the Great Pyramid to radio waves, an international research group found that, under conditions of electromagnetic resonance, a pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy in its inner chambers and under the base.

The research is published in the Journal of Applied Physics, Journal of Applied Physics.

The research team plans to use these theoretical results to develop nanoparticles that can reproduce similar effects in the optical range. Such nanoparticles can be used, for example, to create sensors and high-performance solar cells.

While the Egyptian pyramids are surrounded by many myths and legends, we have little scientifically reliable information about their physical properties. As it turned out, sometimes this information turns out to be more impressive than any fiction.

The idea to conduct a physical research came to minds of scientists from ITMO (St. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics) and the Laser Zentrum Hannover.

Physicists became interested in how the Great Pyramid would interact with resonant electromagnetic waves, or, in other words, with waves of proportional length. Calculations have shown that in a resonant state, a pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy in the inner chambers of the pyramid, as well as under its base, where the third, unfinished chamber is located.

These conclusions were obtained on the basis of numerical modeling and analytical methods of physics. At first, the researchers suggested that resonances in the pyramid could be caused by radio waves ranging in length from 200 to 600 meters. They then modeled the pyramid's electromagnetic response and calculated the extinction cross section. This value helps to estimate how much of the incident wave energy can be scattered or absorbed by the pyramid under resonant conditions. Finally, under the same conditions, scientists obtained the distribution of electromagnetic fields inside the pyramid.

To explain the results, the scientists performed a multipole analysis. This method is widely used in physics to study the interaction between a complex object and an electromagnetic field. The field scattering object is replaced by a set of simpler radiation sources: multipoles. Collection of radiation from multipoles coincides with field scattering on the whole object. Therefore, knowing the type of each multipole, it is possible to predict and explain the distribution and configuration of the scattered fields in the entire system.

The Great Pyramid has attracted researchers by studying the interactions between light and dielectric nanoparticles. The scattering of light by nanoparticles depends on their size, shape and refractive index of the starting material. By changing these parameters, it is possible to determine the resonant scattering modes and use them to develop devices for controlling light at the nanoscale.

“The Egyptian pyramids have always attracted a lot of attention. We, as scientists, were interested in them, so we decided to look at the Great Pyramid as a scattered particle emitting radio waves. Due to the lack of information about the physical properties of the pyramid, we had to use some assumptions. For example, we assumed that there are no unknown cavities inside, and the building material with the properties of ordinary limestone is evenly distributed inside and out of the pyramid. Taking these assumptions into account, we obtained interesting results that can find important practical applications,”says Andrey Evlyukhin, research supervisor and research coordinator.

Scientists now plan to use the results to replicate similar effects at the nanoscale. “By choosing a material with suitable electromagnetic properties, we can obtain pyramidal nanoparticles with the prospect of practical application in nanosensors and efficient solar cells,” says Polina Kapitainova, PhD in Physics and Technology at ITMO University.
