.“I can see why you wouldn’t want to waste your time with mine.I’m not sure if it could read deeper than twenty feet,” Jack said.“On the mountain I surveyed yesterday, the entire structure was a nearly solid block of limestone, covered with a layer of soil.As I passed from one side of the mountain top to the other, very little changed in the readout.There were some minor anomalies at various depths, and the soil depths did change periodically, but for the most part, there was nothing that suggested it was anything other than a large bed of limestone.”Javier stared off at the distant mountain, then turned back to Jack and continued:“On this mountain, I’ll be doing the same thing.I’ll be making sweeping passes along grid lines I’ve established, looking for reflections that could indicate stacks of blocks at the higher elevations or simply a consistent down-sloping grade that shapes the pyramid at lower elevations.”“I suppose you can tell pretty quickly if it’s a pyramid or a lump of limestone, right?” Jack said.“Here’s where it gets a bit more challenging.If the readout shows a structure under the ground with constant-sloping walls, I’m fairly sure we’ll have our pyramid.But, there’s going to be a lot of material covering the pyramid that might make it hard to detect.It may appear just as yesterday’s mountain appeared… like a large mound of limestone with variations in its structure at various depths,” Javier said.“I’m confused… if we can’t determine what’s under the ground, are you saying that the GPR unit is useless?” Jack asked, now somewhat confused.“Not at all.It’s just one component of the analysis we use to solve the puzzle.We’ll need to take readings at various positions and elevations.After that, I’ll use the other devices like the Electromagnetic Conductivity Meter and Electrical Resistance meter, as well as the Magnetometer to refine my findings further.Eventually, I’ll have enough data at different depths and at different angles to understand what I’m looking at.”“You know, maybe you should show me how to use the other equipment and we both can run tests at the same time.We can get done twice as fast,” Jack suggested.“You’re whistling my tune,” Javier said with a smile.“Why don’t you and Darrien follow alongside of me and watch how I take the readings.Next, I’ll have you set up the ECM device at specific points I obtained from the readout on this GPR unit.I use the other two devices from time to time, but the main two I depend on are the GPR and ECM units.If you can run those two, we’ll have this mountain mapped and analyzed in no time.”“Well, let’s get this party started,” Jack joked once more.Javier looked at the rows of parallel grid lines he had marked in the soil with spray paint.With the device sitting at the first row, he began to push the GPR unit along its path.Halfway along its course, as he watched the display, he began to frown.“Hmm, nothing’s ever easy,” he said out loud.“What’s the matter, Javi?” Darrien asked.“We’re not seeing any real definition… just a lot of noise,” Jack said.“I don’t hear any noise.” Darrien said, now somewhat confused.“Not audible noise, Darrien.Jack is talking about generalized deflections in the readout caused by the varying densities of the substructure that create minor waves in the readout.The objects that cause the minor distortions are called background noise,” Javier explained.“Ahh, I get it.No pyramid, right?” Darrien guessed.“Not exactly.There could be one down there, but we’ll need to run many more tests to make a clear distinction.Like he said… nothing’s ever easy,” Jack replied.As Darrien nodded in understanding, Javier kept moving forward.Reaching the end of the first pass, he turned and moved to the next row several feet away.Like before, he lined up the device with the new path and began to push the unit once more, paralleling his first course in the opposite direction.As they moved along, Javier pointed out the larger deflections on the readout.Using a can of spray paint, he marked the location of the anomaly in the grass and dirt.“We’ll come back to this point later and use the ECM to see if we can better define what’s down there,” Javier said.As the two nodded simply, he continued to push the radar unit along the ground.Minutes later, he reversed his course and continued in the opposite direction, marking any points of interest as he followed his new line.Nearly an hour had passed and the three had covered most of the mountain top [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
