The Water Filtration System

The Problem: Contaminated Water

Every chemical production requires pure water. Not "clean" in the sense of "drinkable," but chemically pure - free of dissolved minerals, sulfur, chlorides, and particles.

Why is this critical?

An industrial process using Nile water directly from the river would collapse within days.

The Geographical Situation

Verified fact: The Cheops Branch of the Nile flowed directly past the Giza Plateau in ancient times. [Geological Study 2022/2024 - Cheops Branch of the Nile]

Geological studies from 2022 and 2024 have confirmed what had long been suspected: A branch of the Nile ran much closer to the pyramids than the current river course. The water was literally at the doorstep.

This also explains how the massive stone blocks were transported - on ships, directly to the construction site.

But if the pyramids were chemical facilities, it explains even more: The water supply was secured.

The Structures Reconsidered

Let us consider the known structures from a new perspective: [Geoffrey Drumm - Land of Chem]

The Valley Temple

Conventional interpretation: Reception hall for burial ceremonies, place of mummification.

Technical interpretation: Sedimentation basin.

The Valley Temple lies at the lowest point of the complex, directly at the former Nile bank. In a sedimentation basin, water is brought to rest. Gravity does the rest - heavy particles sink, clearer water rises.

The massive granite blocks lining the Valley Temple would be unusually robust for a religious building. For a basin that must hold millions of liters of water, they would be necessary.

The Causeways

Conventional interpretation: Processional paths for burial processions.

Technical interpretation: Filter channels.

The causeways connect the Valley Temple with the Mortuary Temple at the pyramid. They are long, straight, and slightly ascending.

A multi-stage filtration system would look exactly like this: Water flows through channels filled with various filter materials - sand, gravel, charcoal. The longer path gives the water time to settle additional particles.

Underground Shafts

Conventional interpretation: Burial shafts, boat pits, ritual structures.

Technical interpretation: Settling basins and cooling.

Beneath and around the pyramids, numerous underground structures exist - shafts, chambers, tunnels. The famous "Osiris Shaft" reaches deep beneath the plateau.

In a water treatment system, deep shafts would serve two functions:

1. Final sedimentation: Finest particles settle.
2. Cooling: Deeper groundwater is cooler, which is important for certain chemical processes.

Rosetau - The Mouth of Passages

The ancient name for the Giza Plateau was Rosetau - translated: "Mouth of Passages." [Geoffrey Drumm - Land of Chem]

If the Egyptians called a place "Mouth of Passages," perhaps they were describing exactly what was there: A place where channels empty, through which water flows.

Drumm's Discovery: The Tomb of the Birds

Geoffrey Drumm documented his exploration of an underground tunnel system beneath Giza, known as the "Tomb of the Birds":

• Tunnels with traces of leach mining
• Massive iron ore deposits
• Evidence that acidic solutions flowed through these tunnels

Leach mining is a process in which acid is passed through rock to dissolve metal ores. It leaves characteristic traces - discoloration, hollowing, mineral deposits.

The Logistical Question

If the pyramids were production facilities, they represented a logistical masterpiece:

Raw material import: The Nile flows from south to north. Raw materials from the African hinterland could be transported to the plateau with the current.

Product export: The plateau lies at the apex of the Nile Delta. From here, the waterways branch into many arms, all emptying into the Mediterranean - the gateway to the entire ancient world trade.

Water supply: The Cheops Branch delivered water directly to the "factory" doorstep.

It is hard to imagine a better location.

What We Know, What We Suspect

Verified:

• The Cheops Branch of the Nile flowed past the plateau
• Underground structures exist beneath Giza
• The causeways connect Valley Temples with pyramids
• The name "Rosetau" means "Mouth of Passages"

Plausible but unproven:

• The structures formed a water treatment system
• Granite was chosen for its chemical resistance
• The tunnels show traces of chemical processes

Speculative:

• The system supplied chemical reactors in the pyramids
• The production chain encompassed multiple pyramids
