The Pyramid Code is a prima facie example of the misuse of the documentary film to suck the susceptible into irrational viewpoints.
There are some carnival sideshow tricks used to hypnotize the viewer. First, the narrator speaks very slowly and in a foreign accent. The foreign accent trick is used to make infomercial hawkers seem more intellectual or more trustworthy. An Egyptian "expert" who can't speak English very well is used to make some points that are totally incomprehensible, because *he* is incomprehensible. One of the English-speaking intellectuals speaks with the volume turned down, so you have to crank up the volume to hear him. This happens so often that you just decide to leave the volume turned up, and when the episode is over you find your dog hiding under the couch covering his ears. This is a long-time trick of TV commercials, of course. There's snake-charmer music playing in the background which is also a hypnotic tool.
The reason I call this a "documentary" is because it documents *NOTHING*. The basic style employed is that the narrator asks several provocative questions that make you think you're going to be shown some kind of evidence, so you start to pay attention. You sit up and watch attentively for the next 10 minutes, and NO answers to the provocative questions appear!
Example:
Narrator: Were the pyramids part of a planetary power-generation system? Did they tap the earth's electromagnetic field to create a pollution-free power?
High-brow intellectual: I know that the pyramids were part of a power generation grid due to their construction. They're still generating power today. Of course, it's a kind of power we can't measure, but I know it's happening.
Huh? I was waiting to see your instruments register the power field, or power grid, or for the pyramid to shoot a lightning bolt out and turn on the electric light bulb in Uncle Fester's mouth, or SOMETHING. But all you get is this hocus-pocus can't prove it worth a dorcus statement.
THE WHOLE FIVE HOURS IS FILLED WITH THIS HOKUM.
And to add insult to injury, the last 10 minutes of the final episode has the narrator reviewing what she is now calling "the proof" and "the evidence".
I never saw any proof. I never saw any evidence.
I only heard assertions that were unproven.
If you're a Coast-to-Coast AM listener, you'll love it. Just don't tell your friends it's "proof".
