A semi conductor tech? How does that work? Could you explain that, please?

​

I expect neither Anatolia nor CA could've produced a lot of high quality iron/steel, or else the iron age would've started. Iron was also noted to be very expensive, sometimes worth more than gold, through that era.

Late Hittites were accepting iron as tribute in minas, so it was treated like a precious metal. Possibly a way they were getting iron was as a byproduct of the bronze/copper industry, collected semi-smelted iron nuggets that were a defect in the copper ore.

Err... generating power from pyramids? I thought it sounded that style.

Pyramids are decent lightning rods, like anything tall and pointy (and massive)... but there's no way to gather that power. Mountains also "generate a lot of power," but there's no way to harness that to a useful purpose, either.

The pyramids were tombs.

? Yeah, because they were capped with gold and covered in limestone. They shined brilliantly as a result.

So it reflects sunlight, which can be used for power... but not in any useful or focused way.

Sounds like a religion more than a science.

I suggest you start a thread about the historicity of this, if you're so confident in it. Link me if you do decide to start one.
