Electric Lights In Old Egypt?

We know the Egyptians are known for have been very advanced compared to other civilazations in the world. There is a question that continues arising today...
Did the Pharaos use electric lights in their tombs during the building phase? and is so where did they learn it from?.

In none of the approximately 400 underground grave systems were any soot tracks found, although the tunnels and chambers were precisely hewn out of the rock and often painted very artistically. The available lamps for the Egyptians - candles, torches/flares, oil lamps - inevitably leave soot. So how did the Egyptians bring light into the affair?.

A posslible explanation may come from an artifact which was found a few 100 km further to the east, in today's Iraq: A pot with strange contents. A copper cylinder, sealed with bitumen into the neck of the pot, containing a corroded iron rod right in the middle of the cylinder. Right on from the beginning in 1936 the chief excavator was certain: This is a galvanic device, a battery. Indeed reconstruction attempts showed that one could produce electricity with it.

There are also great paintings who some people say are electric lights...you be the judge:

Egypt Old Lights Electric

Interesting. While I have not heard about this in particular, I have read and heard discussions regarding the egyptians having access to advanced technology. Usually this is linked to aliens or Atlantis. I am surprised that time travel is not mentioned more*.





O.

*I haven't fully read the article in you link, yet, so time travel may be mentioned in it.

Wow. I have never heard anything about it, but it's definately an interesting idea. I can see it happening, though. There are reports of advanced cultures in the past, and who's to say it isn't factual?

Egypt Old Lights Electric

That article has some pretty interesting evidence. This is one of those things that people will debate for ever but never prove either way. I wonder where the lights would have come from? Im not a huge proponent of aliens, so I guess that would mean that they would had to have invented it. Would that mean that Thomas Edison didn't invent the first light bulb?

Egypt Old Lights Electric

well...let's put it this way. The Egyptians may have invented the electric lights but there is no way to really prove it. Edison proved it and I guess that's the only thing we need to give him credit. *shrugs*
