Flanagan has written books focused on Egyptian sacred geometry and Pyramidology. He holds several patents as an inventor.[1][2][3][4] He is also known for developing a method of drawing the geometrically complicated Sri Yantra.[5]

Pyramid power

Main article: Pyramid power

During the 1970s, Flanagan was a proponent of pyramid power.[6] He wrote several books and promoted it with lectures and seminars.[7] According to Flanagan, pyramids with the exact relative dimensions of Egyptian pyramids act as "an effective resonator of randomly polarized microwave signals which can be converted into electrical energy." [8] One of his first books, Pyramid Power, was featured in the lyrics of The Alan Parsons Project album, Pyramid.[9]

Inventions and discoveries

In 1958, at the age of 13, Flanagan invented a device which he called a Neurophone, which he claimed transmitted sound via the nervous system to the brain.[10]
