Was Nikola Tesla Really Obsessed With The Ancient Pyramids?

He may be considered an absolutely insane scientist but his inventions changed the world and laid the foundations of the once-unimaginable technological advancements.

Besides the obvious patents and inventions we have all heard of, Nikola Tesla had many other interests that would surprise you, and one of his apparent obsessions was the Egyptian pyramids. Like many others, myself included, he believed that the ancient structures had a higher purpose.

His theory was that the Egyptian pyramids could be a powerful energy source and this coincided with several of his other ideas and projects about transmitting energy.

Tesla’s Theories on Pyramidal Energy Transmission

Nikola Tesla’s ideas on energy transmission were revolutionary, and he saw the pyramids as potential blueprints for a grander system of wireless power distribution.

In 1905, he filed a patent titled “The Art of Transmitting Electrical Energy Through the Natural Medium,” outlining his vision for global wireless energy. Tesla speculated that the Earth itself functioned as a massive conductor of electrical energy and that the pyramids, due to their structure and placement, might have been used to harness and transmit this energy.

This belief significantly influenced his work on the Wardenclyffe Tower, an ambitious project designed to send electricity wirelessly across long distances. Much like the Great Pyramid of Giza, Tesla’s tower was strategically placed – he chose its location based on the Earth’s natural electromagnetic properties, similar to how he believed the pyramids were positioned.

Though his tower was never fully operational due to funding issues, Tesla remained convinced that ancient civilizations might have mastered a form of energy transmission long before modern technology.

The Significance of Pyramid Location and Design

Tesla didn’t just believe the pyramids were significant in function; he also theorized that their location and geometric structure played a crucial role. He noted that the Great Pyramid of Giza was positioned near the intersection of the longest land meridian and the longest land parallel, suggesting that its builders deliberately placed it at an optimal energetic point on Earth.

Therefore, Tesla chose the locations for his experiments in accordance with where the pyramids were built.

These were his Colorado Springs Experimental Station and his Wardencliff Tower near New York. His plans were specifically built to test the possible wireless transmission of energy.

Additionally, Tesla was intrigued by the golden ratio (1.618) embedded in the pyramids’ design. This mathematical principle appears frequently in nature and architecture, and Tesla speculated that such precision in the pyramids’ dimensions might have been more than aesthetic – it could have been part of an advanced energy system.

He applied similar geometric principles in his own work, believing that structures built in alignment with natural energy fields could be far more effective at generating and transmitting power.

Tesla’s Obsession with Numerology

Besides Nikola Tesla’s obsession with the pyramids, we should mention his apparent interest in numerology. A lot has been said and written about his obsession with three specific numbers – 3,6,9.

Tesla’s fascination with numbers wasn’t just a personal quirk – it shaped his entire worldview. He once famously stated:

“If you only knew the magnificence of 3, 6, and 9, then you would have the key to the universe.”

He believed that these numbers held a special mathematical significance, forming the foundation of natural laws and energy patterns. This obsession influenced his daily life in peculiar ways.

Tesla reportedly walked around a block three times before entering a building, cleaned his dining utensils with exactly 18 napkins (a multiple of 3), and only stayed in hotel rooms with numbers divisible by 3.

Some researchers speculate that his fixation on these numbers played a role in his interest in the pyramids. The pyramidal design itself is rich in mathematical patterns, and Tesla may have seen a connection between their proportions and his numerical theories about energy and the universe.

Little do we actually know about the exact construction of the pyramids, their real purpose, and whether they truly are a powerful energy source.

At the time of such reflections, it is easy to fall into various theories about ancient aliens.

Did aliens contact Nikola Tesla?

Tesla claimed that aliens contacted him in the summer of 1899, when Nikola Tesla, sitting alone in his laboratory in Colorado Springs, was recording unusual rhythmic signals.

Then he described them as numbers. After recording radio signals from space, Tesla was convinced that these were attempts to establish a connection with Venus or Mars. Just a year later, the American Red Cross asked him what humanity’s greatest achievement would be in the next century.

“I recorded electrical signals that seemed inexplicable. They were weak and almost invisible, but they deeply assured me that soon all the people in the world would look up into the sky. The good news is that we finally got a message from another world.”

This was Tesla’s answer. In his article, Tesla described the problem of wireless communication at a distance. Light as a carrier of communication is completely impractical, and Tesla himself realized that energy was required much more powerful than that available to humanity.

On the other hand, radio communication requires much less energy and therefore is much easier to establish in practice.

And while Tesla was working on devices that could send powerful radio signals to our neighbours on the planet, he was simultaneously working on devices that would register the signals coming to us, as well as researching the possibility that pyramids could be powerful energy sources and transmitters.

“I will never forget that first feeling when I realized that I was observing something immeasurably important for humanity. The feeling that I am the first to hear greetings from another planet is constantly growing in me.”
