If It Quacks Like A Pyramid...
If it quacks like a pyramid, then it probably is.
______________________________
"But wait," you might be asking yourself "A pyramid doesn't have wings!" How could a pyramid fly? Well, the question of how it could get off the ground without wings has been pondered for years and the answer is likely not what you were expecting. What we know for sure is that pyramids are engineered to stay afloat thanks to their inverted shape. This allows them to serve as cooling pods by collecting and redistributing heat in addition to using them as burial chambers and storage facilities. We can infer that they were designed with this intention since they possess characteristics of various boats in addition to monuments.
Pyramids have the ability to be self-righting, others can hover over bodies of water and some can even generate their own energy. There are a variety of more detailed traits shared by pyramids that give this proposed design to stay afloat such as the unique geometry of their interior and exterior surfaces, their utilization of both negative and positive mass as well as their unique angles. It is simply a specious argument to assume that pyramids were not intended to fly since they possess many characteristics that are typical of ships.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE REAL MR HENRY — I.E., THE PYRAMID IN EL DORADO
Mr. Henry's principal deed-holder was Thomas Walker, an Englishman. Thomas also owned the Island of Piomingo, claim to which he was entitled by purchase from the Spanish Gov'r of California. Thomas lived on his island for sometime, but about a year after his arrival in Kentucky he passed away. After the death of his father, Mr. Henry migrated to Kentucky with his mother and other children where he remained until 1812 or 1813 when he departed this life.
He was not an attorney, nor a doctor. He was not a politician, nor a missionary. He was not noted for his military service in the Revolutionary War. He was not gifted with great wealth or power, nor distinguished for any of the varied arts and sciences; perhaps he became wealthy and powerful, but these are rather matters of opinion than facts.
This is but an early article from my research in the James Henry Papers at Princeton University Library.
SOME MINE TUNNELS
In September 1884, the Chittenden Coal Company, which was operating a mine at the base of Sandusky mountain (NE of Old Fort, on Buffalo Creek) sunk a shaft about 200 feet west and run a tunnel to connect with a parallel tunnel of the Monongahela Coal Company's mine. This parallel tunnel ran E-W and also connected with another parallel tunnel further west, which in turn connected with another nearby parallel tunnel running N-S. The object was to reach coal between these tunnels without having to blast and expose so much surface area. The diagram below shows the mine plan and cross section.
Season's camp.
The "Devil's Chimney" was a perpendicular shaft of raw holes, which was driven by an inclined tunnel, and which was dug out at 45 degrees from the horizontal and 876 feet from the surface of the ground.
The main shaft was sunk to a depth of 710 feet and ran parallel to the parallel tunnels, which were sunk at various angles. From these main shafts one ran E-W for over 3 miles, with numerous branch tunnels and cross cuttings. It was finally abandoned after it had been reached by an electric light and telephone line, in favor of a tunnel driven by power.
I've stated my opinion often enough in this newsletter and on the radio, that I believe that James Henry was a very important person in Kentucky's history. One of the articles I read in 1984 about his life confirmed for me that he had been a miner. In this article, I learned that Henry dug two mines in western Kentucky and apparently owned two mines at Old Fort, near Monticello.
The article is from the Mountain News (Geneva), September 4, 1884:
Henry was born at Saybrook in 1690 and came to Pennsylvania with his parents when a boy of twelve years. He remained there until he was twenty-one years old, when he sailed for Jamaica. While in Jamaica he was imprisoned and kept on a close diet for seven months by the Spaniards because he would not bear arms against the English, which they required all the Englishmen to do. He finally escaped and returned to America.
"He was married in Virginia, in 1718, but his wife died and he came to western Kentucky. At this time there were only a few French families living at Old Fort," said Mr. Henry, who is eighty-four years old. "I can remember when there were no settlements as far down as Crab Orchard nor even Lynnville."
Henry first came to Monticello about 1826 with Capt. John Hart.
Conclusion
At the time that the above article was written, James was 84 years old. Yet... in 1717, he was but 21 years old, a young man of 22. This means in his writings that we should add 63 years to his age at the time of publication (1984). There were two places, Old Fort and Sandusky Mtn., where Henry owned mines, and it is likely he had others.
This article describes a mine on the Buffalo Creek (Monticello area), which Henry possibly owned. He may have also owned mines along Highland Creek in Union County and mines at Old Fort, near Monticello. It is very likely these were some of his first projects as a young man.
