Abstract
Over a two week period, various "sacred sites" in Egypt were visited by
a group with interests in the spiritual qualities of the ancient temples,
pyramids, and tombs. The group expected to engage in informal ceremonies
including chanting and meditation, to pay respect to the sacred sites of
the ancient Egyptians. A portable random event generator and palmtop
computer were used to generate and record ongoing random sequences
accompanied by time-stamped indexing and onsite notes. Preplanned
hypotheses predicted anomalous deviations of the sequence during visits
to the special places forming the core of the sacred sites, including the
inner sanctum or Holy of Holies in the temples, and the interior chambers
of the pyramids. A further prediction was made that coherence or resonance
building activities of the group, including chanting and meditation
in these special locations, would correlate with anomalous
deviations. Both formal hypotheses were confirmed, with a combined
associated probability of 2.7 times 10e-6. Graphs of the accumulated
deviation in the
chanting
sites and in the
casual presence
sites both show a strong anomalous effect correlated with the visit.
Other categories of data
were identified to provide context and to help distinguish the
sources of the anomalous effects.
