A British inventor, Sir William Siemens climbed to the top of the Giza Pyramid in the late 1800s

Upon reaching the summit, one of his guides remarked that WHEN HE RAISED HIS HAND WITH HIS FINGERS SPREAD, his ears picked up a shrill ringing noise-Frequency. Siemens then raised his hand & felt it too.

Not long after, the inventor went to quench his thirst with a celebratory sip of wine and received an electric shock from his lips touching the bottle.

As Siemens was a scientist who built the first electro-magnetic telegraph, he moistened a newspaper wrapping it around the bottle converting it into a Leyden jar, a primitive capacitor.

As Siemens held the bottle above his head, it became charged with electricity. It's said that even sparks of⚡️sailed thru the air from the bottle.

The guide tried to grab the bottle away from Siemens who accidentally pointed bottle at himself & received a jolt of ⚡️ knocking him unconscious to the ground.

In today's time going atop of Giza is illegal.
