In 1800 Count Alassandro Volta made the "voltaic pile", a battery.

He was way late in the game.

 

His experiments,along with Luigi Galvani, applying electricity to

frogs legs and making them jump when touched by an electric wire

prompted Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to write FRANKENSTEIN in 1818.

 

In 1957 this battery was discovered in Bagdad. It was made by the

Parthians, who ruled Bagdad from 250 B.C.E. to 224 C.E., and was

used to electroplate silver. The picture that you see is from the

Iraq museum, and the battery is about the size of a person's hand.

 

William Gray of the GE High Voltage Lab in Pittsfield, Mass made a

copy of one. He examined the solder holding the copper end to the

copper cylinder of the original and found that the solder was 60/40,

just like today. He said that the battery could generate easily

enough current to electroplate.

 

German researcher Dr. Arne Eggebrecht has actually made a copy of

the battery and gold electroplated several items. He believes that

many of the gold items in museums are actually gold plated silver.

 

Dr. Colin Fink, the inventor of the tungsten light, found out that

the Egyptians knew how to electroplate antimony onto copper over

4300 years ago. This is a scabbard that he analyzed in 1933 that was

plated using antimony sulfide.

 

The inside chamber of this 4200 year old Temple of Hathor at Dendera

has this stone cutting.

 

Usually this is thought to be of a religious nature but if you look

at the image as a historical image, the man is holding an electric

gas discharge lamp.

 

The hawk headed god Horus, the omnipresent overseer, presides over

the scene. A wire comes out of the cathode into a box that the god

Amun-Ra, hidden light, is sitting on supporting the lamp. The

goddess Nehebka is also supporting the lamp. She is not affected by

magic or fire. Between them is very definitely a high voltage anode.

It makes sense that Nehebka and Amun-Ra are on either side of the

anode, neither is affected by the magic of electricity. The "blue

snake with the bite of death" is safely contained in the bottle,

under control of man.

I know, where did the vacuum and glass come from. In the pyramid at

Dahshur, built by Snefru (c.2613-c.2498 BCE), there lies at the

foundation a 35 ton slab of man made purple glass. Think on that for

a while.
