throughout a large area until this point researchers have not had the capacity to decide precisely what the glyphs state or their connection to any outside societies the glyphs were cut into wood

hypotheses Smith College art history educator dr. Marjorie Cenacle has understudies fabricate reproductions of the cylinders which delivered voltage when filled with citric acid squeezed from fruit speculations as to why batteries were needed a varied however most popular theory is that the battery charge assisted in the process of electroplating other metals with gold the electroplating process uses a small electric current to put a thin layer of one metal such as gold onto the surface of another such a silver researchers suggest that many ancient artifacts in museums that are thought to be gold may actually be gold-plated silver author and investigator Erich von däniken has theorized that batteries may have been used to like primitive filaments to cast light into the temples by the Egyptians whilst they carved their hieroglyphics into the walls as there was no sign of any smoke damage on the ceilings should they have used fire light and clearly no sunlight would have reached many of the temple chambers to the hellinikon pyramid while it's genuinely regular to name the Egyptian pyramids the stuff of antiquated secrets it's something totally new to find comparative structures all around the globe such is the situation with the pyramids of Argos Greece and their most popular structure the hellinikon pyramid like many other pyramids the structures base is rectangular rather than square and the steeply inclined sides are made of various size blocks that fit together like a crazy jigsaw puzzle similar to the pre incan walls of Peru it is built of locally quarried grey limestone though it's vertical base part incorporates the rocky outcrop of the hilltop on which it stands the base has a further anomaly the southeastern corner of the pyramid is replaced by a recess that gives access to a narrow passageway which in turn leads to a doorway this is the main entrance to a single chamber with vertical internal walls the room is about seven meters square and though its walls do not reach full height it's clear that the ceiling would have been well below the apex of the pyramid the genuine reason for the hellinikon remains obscure while the riddle of what was inside the hellinikon is unquestionably captivating what really interests scholars is the way it was evidently built in 27 20 BC making it altogether much older than any of the Egyptian pyramids that is if the Egyptian pyramids have been correctly aged it's also no surprise to find that the hellinikon was like many other pyramids aligned to the stars won the hypogeum of hell self Lainey the hypogeum of south-south Lainey was not by any means found until 1902 it has been thought to be a burial place or sanctuary but as time has passed it seems to have been used for much more mysterious undertakings the only preserved example of a subterranean labyrinth architecture in Europe the hypogeum was used from four thousand to two and a half thousand BC and consisted of three complex levels cut out of the bedrock with painted walls of ornate design the most puzzling part of the building is a peculiar chamber referred to as the Prophet chamber in which words spoken at an ordinary volume were enhanced a hundred times and capable of being heard all through the whole structure the chamber is also precisely tuned to a hundred and eleven Hertz making it resonate when that specific tone is vocalized while sitting in the center of the chamber the hundred and eleven Hertz can scientifically be proven to heal internal and external wounds up to six times faster seemingly our ancient ancestors had knowledge of sound frequency healing the hypogeum remains one of the world's unknown ancient mysteries [Music] thank you for watching the universal top tens please like share and subscribe to our channel for all the latest info thanks and fun [Music] you
