The journey of this book began in 1978 when James Brown visited Egypt for the first time. Brown, founder of the Ancient Energy Research Center, is a builder and contractor, so he understands structures from the ground up. He has overseen the design and building of large complexes for nearly fifty years and is the winner of numerous awards. He describes himself as a practical thinker and believes the logic and results of his research need to make practical sense. Since his first trip to Egypt his perspectives on design and construction led him to question the simplistic assertion that the pyramids were built as tombs. Brown met the Hurtaks in 1978 shortly after he returned from Egypt. They were introduced by a mutual friend who realized their shared interest in ancient Egypt. The collaboration and friendship that has resulted in this book is a four-decade journey.

In January 1997, after traveling many times to Egypt, Drs. J.J. and Desiree Hurtak were part of an expedition to Giza, Egypt in search of underground structures. Using ground penetrating radar (GPR) and remote sensing, they were able to locate underground cavities near the Pyramids on the Giza Plateau. One hundred feet below the surface their team did indeed find what became known as the Tomb of Osiris. Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak with their team exposed the lid of the large granite box. They reported their discovery to the Egyptian authorities but were forbidden to go on with deeper excavations of the site. We believe what was discovered was one of the world’s first and oldest energy-generating or storage systems.

No. 1 The Great Pyramid of Giza is popularly believed to have been built 4,000—5,000 years ago. The structure covers nearly fourteen acres at the base and is 455 feet (140 meters) tall with thepyramidion (the missing capstone) as shown in No. 2 on the next page where James Brown is standing. The original exterior was covered with eight-foot thick, twenty-ton white Tura limestone blocks quarried from the east bank of the Nile. Called “casing stones,” the blocks had a polished finish and were said to shine from a great distance when sunlight illuminated them. Many were shaken loose during a devastating earthquake in 1303 CE and used to rebuild important buildings in Cairo damaged in the earthquake.

Although pyramids are similar in design, many may have had different or dual functions. We are proposing in this book that ancient Egypt developed and controlled an elaborate power system that was centered around Giza and its surrounding areas, while including locations as far as Luxor and beyond. We are further proposing that the underground structures, channels, and cavities that surround the ancient Pyramid structures were part of an energy generating system.

No. 2 James Brown and Hefnawi are standing on top of the Great Pyramid. It is no longer possible to climb to the top of the massive structure. Hefnawi was known as the “Champion” because he could scale the monumental structure in the shortest time.

We believe the evidence indicates that the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau had the ability to electrically charge, or change the molecular structure of water, giving it unique properties. Water is the most versatile element in nature. We know it as a gas, a liquid, and a solid. We believe the ancient Egyptians created a fourth form of electrically-charged water that served many purposes, called by James Ernest Brown “Earthmilk Ancient Energy.” All pyramids were connected to the Nile River, and there is physical evidence that water from the Nile River circulated through their passageways and
