Egyptian Electricity

[StonedIdeas]

First off I just wanna say Hi cause I'm new here. So I was watching this amazing show on the History Channel called "Ancient Aliens" and in this interview this idea of Egyptian light bulbs came up and how they used batteries. A few minutes later another guy in another interview came on trying to debunk everything the previous guy had said about the light bulbs and electricity. He said there was no "real" evidence, that there would be wires or something left around.

So it got me thinking. I mean there's always some sort of evidence left around when using metal items. From rings to horseshoes arrowheads to farm equipment, its there in the ground, ocean, or tombs rotting away. So I thought the whole light bulb idea was a bunch of BS. But then I thought about gold. Gold is a great conductor of electricity! Why not have golden wire or even parts to make the light bulb. It might explain why there isn't any evidence of any it around. People who found golden wire didn't know or care what it was used for so they just melted it down.

Well that was just my idea, tell me what you think.

interesting idea, I hear this first time ( i mean about the gold ). I dont know that much about physics and electricity, but it makes sense to me. When you look back, any ancient society was obsessed with gold so what if they needed that stuff not just for making their jewellery. Good point.

Thats solid point...the most conductive metals are silver, copper, gold, and aluminum

However, gold is a unique conductor (which is commonly used to coat connectors and wiring in computers and electronics) b/c it doesn't corrode or tarnish.

Also, liquid nitrogen is one of the best conductors; however, maintaining a temperature of <90Kel is rather difficult to do in a practical manner...with todays tech.

If copper wiring existed is plausible that it simply corroded away or was melted down with tin to form a more useful metal, bronze (think bronze age here)...I like your thinking with gold and silver simply being snatched up for monetary reasons though.


Giorgio, I have to ask a question about one of your comments:

I remember hearing you say that your lighter wouldn't light in the underground/tomb tunnels of one particular ancient site. AA theorist argue that an alternate source of electric light was needed (no soot residue from torches and light reflection wasn't strong enough)...if your lighter wouldn't light b/c of a lack of oxygen, how were people able to breathe down there?

I watched the show....it was well done. I found the ancient site in Bolivia with huge square fitted blocks very interesting. Anyone remember the name of that site? I also wish there was something out there on harmonic levitation...there is a lot of field research on this topic and even more on magnetic lev.

Anyone remember the name of that site?

that was Puma Punku.

what i found absolutely fascinating was the type of rock those structures were made from..giorgio said the only way they could have been cut were with diamond tipped tools!!

how did they have diamond tipped tools 17,0000 years ago?

what manufacturing process did they use to attach diamonds to "copper" chisels? because they sure didnt have hardened steel to make chisels and i wouldnt think they had adhesives strong enough or welding capabilities.

stuff boggles the mind.

If Puma Punku is really that old I don't know how anyone could not agree that something just isn't right. That place alone is strong evidence of AAT or at least an alternative history.

Back to the original topic of electricity. As far as an abundance of wiring being left behind, it depends on how one thinks the whole AAT influence went down. Or WHEN it went down. Without writing a whole book here let me explain what I mean. Maybe the Egyptians found the remaining evidence of very ancient technology. Suppose that only the priests or highest people had the knowledge and used it for controlling the masses, etc. If this were true then there wouldn't be a whole lot of wiring or electrical things to be found like you would if we were destroyed and thousands of years went by. We also have to have an open mind that maybe the evidence is there we just don't recognize it because we think in terms of how technology is today....Maybe there is no wiring or even recognizable electrical components.

like you just pointed out I will just add a little ( sorry just pop in my mind now )

OK, those priests or whoever had something ( maybe device ) what older civilization left behind and basicly what happened after a while it stopped working. You know like for example you have a flashlight and if you dont change the battery after some days it won`t work anymore. You are DONE unless you have knowledge how to operate the device ( change a battery or even have extra one, because you may know how to do it but without extra battery still, you are DONE )........

just idea

StonedIdeas:
The ooparts site records golden wires that have been found in several locations, England and Europe. It might list wires in the mid east and Egypt.
Most of this stuff was found in the 1800's and early 1900s before that Egyptian director started putting the clamps on the flow of info.
Check out the out of place artifacts site. It may help.
