Introduction
Recently, an unusual article has appeared in several magazines and on several websites about Tesla’s “great interest in the pyramids”, which he allegedly believed to “serve a higher purpose” and which “fascinated him so much that he explored them throughout his life” …
The reason for this was the video: “Nikola Tesla – Limitless Energy & the Pyramids of Egypt”[1], posted on YouTube channel “After Skool” (After school, slang) intended for fun, interesting things, unusual ideas, interesting stories and education.
In the video and text mentioned above is presented an idea about the connection between Tesla’s patent “Art of Transmitting Electrical Energy Through the Natural Mediums” (US Patent 787 412) and the pyramids: “Tesla wondered if the pyramids were big energy transmitters – and that thought coincided with his project of wireless energy transmission.”
Although really interesting, ideas like this, backed up sometimes by very bombastic headlines (e.g. “Shocking! Tesla and the Pyramid Connection Found” (https://govisrbija.rs/?p=1976) – according to my knowledge, by no means are not true. Namely, although segments of Tesla’s grandiose work – on the one hand – and the controversial parameters of the pyramids and some of their unusual features – on the other – are mentioned in the above video and texts – Nikola Tesla’s link to the pyramids is not supported by no specific Tesla statement or valid document – other than only associative – as related “energy machines” … Still, the relationship between Nikola Tesla and the pyramids is not without foundation.
