Scalar wave technology in antiquity__________________________________ 613 

30.3 Approach 

Let's to some extent proceed from the knowledge of textbook physics currently present in 

high frequency engineering and give a well trained engineer the following task, which he 

should solve systematically and like an engineer: He should build a transmitter with 

maximum range at minimum transmitting power, thus a classic task of optimization. 

Doing so, the material expenditure doesn't play a role!

 

After mature deliberation the engineer will hit upon it that only one solution exists: He 

decides on a telegraphy transmitter at the long wave end of the short wave band, at f = 3 

MHz, which corresponds to a wavelength of    = 1 0 0   m.  There  less  than  1  Watt 

transmitting power is enough for a radio communication once around the earth. That also 

has something to do with the conditions of reflection of the radio waves at the ionosphere. 

Our engineer learned:

 

the index of refraction       n= 

                                 (30.1)

 

with: 

K= 80.5 * 10

-6

 [cm

/sec

] (= constant)

 

N = electron concentration [electrons/cm

] 

f = frequency of the transmitter [MHz]

 

Put into words: the refraction of a radio wave in the range of the short waves is the larger, 

the smaller the frequency is. The end of the short wave range is reached at 3 MHz. That 

thus explains the choice of frequency.

 

And he optimises further. Next the engineer remembers that at high frequencies, e.g. for 

microwave radiators, not cables but waveguides are used, since these make possible a 

considerable better degree of effectiveness. In the case of the waveguide the stray fields 

are reduced by an alignment and concentration of the fields in the inside of the conductor. 

In the case of antennas however the fields scatter to the outside and cause considerable 

stray losses. He draws the conclusion that his transmitter should be built as a tuned cavity 

and not as an antenna!

 

As a result the engineer puts a building without windows in the countryside with the 

enormous dimensions of 50 m length (= /2) and 25 m (= /4) resp. 12.5 m (= /8) width. 

The height he calculates according to the Golden Proportion to increase the scalar wave 

part. Those approximately are the dimensions of the Cella without window of Greek 

temples.

 

For the operation of such a transmitter in antiquity apparently the noise power of the 

cosmic radiation was sufficient, which arrived at the earth starting from the sun and the 

planets. By increasing the floor space also the collected field energy and the transmitting 

power could be increased, so that also from the perspective of the power supply the temple 

with the largest possible wavelength at the same time promised the largest transmitting 

power, so at least in antiquity.

 

Our engineer further determines, that he will switch the carrier frequency on and off at a 

predetermined clock pulse. Thus he decides for radiotelegraphy. The advantage of this 

technique is a maximum increase of the reception range. For that the signals at the 

transmitter have to be coded and at the receiver again deciphered. By means of the 

encryption of the contents these are accessible only to the ,,insiders", who know the code; 

prerequisite for the emerging of hermetism and eventually a question of power!

30.4 Circumstantial evidence

 

Not everyone, somehow participating in send receive engineering, at the same time also 

was inaugurated in the entire secret knowledge. Most priests only knew as much as they 

necessarily needed to know to fulfill their tasks. Thus a temple priest, who was presented 

an enciphered text and who should bring this on the air, not necessarily at the same time 

needed to know the content of the text or the code. The same of course also was valid for 

the sacrificing priest acting in the receiving station. The Vestal virgins for instance had to 

present the received text to the Augures, by whom they were supervised and controlled.

 

But who wanted to introduce a new god in the gods heaven and perhaps even himself be 

worshipped as a god, should have complete command of both the broadcasting technique 

and the reception technique. In ancient Egypt the Pharao at least once a year had to prove, 

that he still was in command of the technique. Otherwise he was replaced. For a person 

with security clearance that at the same time was a death sentence.

 

In the historical facts numerous pieces of circumstantial evidence can be found, which can 

be considered to be evidence for the thesis of the operation of send receive engineering in 

antiquity. One now perhaps understands, why the rulers were put an antenna netting over 

their head, a so-called crown, or why the Augures could survey the land with a flat Tesla 

coil in their hands (fig. 16.10).

 

Direct evidence is present as well. It can be found in ancient texts. But it is questionable if 

historical texts concerning ancient radio engineering have been translated correctly. The 

talk is about oracles, mystery cult and earth prophesy if the receiver is meant. The 

predominantly technically uneducated historians attest the Romans a defective sense of 

time, because their couriers surely could not cover the long ways across the Roman empire 

so fast at all, if they read in the Latin texts: "They sent by courier to the emperor in Rome 

and got for answer...". The answer of the emperor namely already arrived at the squad at 

the latest in the following night. The correct translation should read: "they cabled" or "they 

broadcasted to the emperor in Rome and got for answer..."

.

 

Such a big empire as the Roman Empire actually only could be reined by means of an 

efficient communication. Cicero coined the word: "We have conquered the peoples of the 

earth owing to our broadcasting technology...

"! The term broadcasting technology from 

ignorance is translated with piety. If engineers however rework the incorrect translations, 

then one will discover that numerous texts tell of the broadcasting technology, that thus 

correspondingly much direct evidence exists concerning the practical use of this 

technology.

 

For the Roman military transmitters, which formed the backbone of the administration of 

the empire, the reading off of the information from observations of nature like the bird 

flight or from felt signals of a geomanter was too unreliable. They read off the information 

from the rhythm of the convulsions of the intestines of freshly slaughtered animals. In the 

case of the dead animals on the altar every extrinsic influence was excluded. But the 

enormous need of slaughter cattle was a disadvantage. Who wanted to have information, 

first of all had to bring along an animal, which then was ,,sacrificed" the god, or better say, 

which was abused as a receiver for a particular transmitter. Thereby the innards served as 

a biosensor and as a receiver for the news.
