pyramidology
Mystical structure speculation
Pyramidology is the study of the Egyptian pyramids, particularly the Great Pyramid of Giza, with the belief that their dimensions and proportions encode mystical, prophetic, or scientific knowledge.
Practitioners claim to find hidden meanings in measurements, often asserting the pyramids predict future events or reveal ancient wisdom about mathematics, astronomy, or religion.
The field is considered pseudoscience by mainstream archaeologists and historians.
