Ancient Structures as Chemical Reactors

The pyramids and other ancient structures were theorized to serve as chemical plants producing various substances. The step pyramid in Saqqara generated methane gas, the red pyramid ammonia, the bent pyramid ammonium bicarbonate, and the great pyramid sulfuric acid. This variety of acids allowed for different applications, including mining for metals. Nitric acid was also produced for creating aqua regia, capable of dissolving gold efficiently.
