Egypt Pyramid SHOCK: Ancient Egyptians 'used ELECTRICITY' to build iconic structures . . Whether or not ancient Egyptians had access to advanced technologies that allowed them to use batteries and electricity thousands of years ago is something firmly debated and considered ludicrous by many archaeologists around the world. However, there seem to be numerous pieces of evidence which suggest it is very possible. Many researchers agree that in the distant past, electricity was widely utilised in the land of the Pharaohs, with the Baghdad Battery being one of the most discussed examples of such advanced technology. In 2009 Netflix documentary “The Pyramid Code”, scientists discuss whether the battery is evidence of the ancient Egyptians having electricity. The battery is a set of three artefacts found together: a ceramic pot, a tube of copper and a rod of iron. Although it was discovered in Khujut Rabu, Iraq, many believe it was originally designed in Egypt. It was hypothesised by some researchers that the object functioned as a galvanic cell, possibly used for electroplating, or some kind of electrotherapy. The narrator then explains that people were aware of the chemical source of current (CSC) in ancient times before claiming that electricity was "generated and widely used". A careful examination of Egyptian history immediately reveals the sophistication in perfect illumination. No soot has been found in the corridors of the pyramids or the tombs of the kings because these areas were lit using electricity, the documentary adds. Relief carvings could also show that the Egyptians used hand-held torches powered by cable-free sources. The arc lamp used in the Lighthouse of Alexandria is further evidence that electricity might have been used in ancient Egypt. The energy required to power the Lighthouse of Alexandria for 24 hours a day could only have been supplied by a regular electrical source. Moreover, experiments with models of the Baghdad Battery have produced between 3 and 5 volts. It is not a lot of “juice” when you look at it but then again, it was enough to power “something” small, thousands of years ago. However, studies suggest that the artefact dates back to the early Medieval period. If true, it is centuries younger than the pyramids. https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1050459/egypt-pyramid-shock-ancient-egyptians-used-electricity-baghdad-battery-spt#:~:text=The%20arc%20lamp%20used%20in,been%20used%20in%20ancient%20Egypt.&text=The%20energy%20required%20to%20power,by%20a%20regular%20electrical%20source. |

Dendera Lamp exhibit at the Mystery Park in Switzerland. It shows “fringe” (electric lamp) interpretation of the famous Egyptian relief from Dendera ''There is a fringe hypothesis according to which the reliefs depict Ancient Egyptian electrical technology, based on comparison to similar modern devices (such as Geissler tubes, Crookes tubes, and arc lamps). In his book “The Eyes of the Sphinx” pp. 171-173, Erich Von Däniken writes that the relief is found in “a secret crypt” that “can be accessed only through a small opening. The room has a low ceiling. The air is stale and laced with the smell of dried urine from the guards who occasionally use it as a urinal.” The room is not so secret, however, as many tourists visit and photograph the room every year. Von Däniken sees the snake as a filament, the djed pillar as an insulator, and claims that “the monkey with the sharpened knives symbolizes the danger that awaits those who do not understand the device.” This “device” is, the reader is assured, an ancient electric light bulb. https://blog.world-mysteries.com/strange-artifacts/lights-of-the-pharaohs-the-electric-lights-in-egypt/ 1 Like |

This is just a theory and has not been confirmed yet |

XXXXTENTACION: It will NEVER be ''confirmed'' by those whom you are expecting to ''confirm'' it. THEY want to be credited for inventing electricity 200 years ago or whatever, and THIS throws that completely out of the water. So it is for YOU to make a determination based on YOUR research and evidence presented for your evaluation. 1 Like |

You know, it wouldn't surprise me if some traditional elders and priests in Nigeria, know something about ancient African electricity. I'm 100% certain there will be a record of it among them, somewhere, somehow. But sadly, we don't ask our elders and priests anything anymore. We even scorn them and see them as evil, courtesy of colonial religious brainwashing. So we are just lost and remember nothing. Sad. Hope we recover one day from our stupour. |

XXXXTENTACION: That is the WORST mistake you can ever make - ''forgetting the past''. China was a cesspit of corruption, conflict and disunity a few decades ago. Guess what they did. They dug into their past, and brought out the philosophies of Confucius, which stressed thrift, self-reliance, hardwork, honesty, and perseverance, and inculcated those principles into every Chinese child from nursery to university as a matter of state policy. The result? A transformed Chinese person, and a transformed Chinese nation. THAT is the sort of thing we should be doing in AFRICA, the cradle of civilization. Exploring the glories and errors of our past to influence and uplift our present. |

It's a myth that ancient Egyptians were Black. Sure, they weren't exactly White, but neither were they black. |
