The snake is often referred to as a lamp filament but, if the lights are real, is more likely to represent the flickering of the arc light. The word paper comes from the Greek term for the ancient Egyptian writing material called papyrus, which was formed from beaten strips of papyrus plants.Papyrus was produced in Egypt as early as 3000 BC, and was sold to ancient Greece and Rome.The establishment of the Library of Alexandria limited the supply of papyrus for others. Proponents of this theory admit that the source of the power is a mystery but that an electric light is the only possible explanation for the extraordinary intensity of the lamp.The lighthouse survived from 247 BC to 1303 AD when it was severely damaged in an earthquake. The technology was the predominant form of light source in lighthouses from the 1900s through the 1960s, when electric lighting had become dominant. A number of pre-Columbian golden artefacts show traces of plated surfaces. The correct translation is under the picture to the left. He is said to have experimented with amber, which the Greeks referred to as Elektron, and cat fur to create an electrical discharge as well as magnetism. Inside the specimen he discovered what appeared to be an off-white ceramic cylinder with a small metal core running through the centre – in short, a sparkplug. Although the equipment in the images may seem obvious it should also be noted that many historians, archaeologists and Egyptologists strongly deny that the images are anything more than the representation of a fertility rite based on Egyptian mythology.
The identity of the geologist has never been revealed. Believed to have been originally excavated in 1936 in the village of Khuyut Rabbou’a. Within the Temple of Hathor, which is part of the Dendera (Tentyra) Temple Complex in Egypt, are a series of carvings that many people believe depict the sophisticated use of electricity to generate light.
Today the island of Pharos has become part of the mainland and shields a natural harbour. Penguin Books, 1963. Each one was approximately 13 cm in height with a capped 3.3 cm opening at the top. On Monday the 13th February 1961 three geode collectors, Wallace Lane, Mike Mikesell and Virginia Maxey discovered an interesting specimen which Mike Mikesell took home and cut in half with a diamond edged saw. He is said to have experimented with amber, which the Greeks referred to as Elektron, and cat fur to create an electrical discharge as well as magnetism. Everywhere fragments of this civilization that lasted 1,000 years stick up out of the ground. The pots are likely to have been created during the Sassanid Period (224 AD – 640 AD). At the age of 32 he became a Christian and after some time in Rome he journeyed to Hippo Regius (near modern day Annaba) in Tunisia where he was persuaded to become first a priest and later Bishop of the town.
A sundial found on Seti I's cenotaph with instructions for its use shows us that the daylight hours were at one time split into 10 units, with 12 hours for the night and an hour for the morning and evening twilights.Note however that the Egyptian observation of a slowly changing stellar alignment over a multi-year period does not necessarily mean that they understood or even cared what was going on. Water flowed from the cisterns either through pipes … The effects of static electricity were first recorded by a Greek philosopher, Thales of Miletus, who lived between 624 BC and 546 BC. Several small vases dating from 2,500BC appeared to have been electroplated and were kept at the Baghdad museum. Rome didn’t have limited liability corporations so anything you did with steam or electricity would have to be privately funded from your own pocket or from a wealthy patrician or group of merchants. In addition, they point out that the coincidence required to produce these images is staggeringly unlikely.Image: Top Left: Helicopter, Top Right: Hovercraft, Centre Right – High: Airship / DirigibleThe area around the town of Olancha in California, America, is popular destination for ‘rock hunters’ and attracts both professional and amateur geologists. From this observation a simple machine consisting of two spinning disks, one covered with leopard fur and one coated with glass or amber could be connected to gold axles and foil strips which would produce an electrical charge capable of generating sparks several inches in length.By spinning the disks in opposite directions a static electrical charge could be transferred to the gold foil strips to create visible sparks.Although it looks like an eel, Electrophorus Electricus is actually a Knife Fish that is able to generate and deliver significant electric shocks of up to 600 volts.The ancient Egyptians referred to an electric catfish, Malapterurus Electricus, as the “Thunderer of the Nile” which indicates that they had already made the connection to storm-related atmospheric discharges – lightning. There are other pictures on the internet that are even more suggestive and it is worth reviewing them if you are interested in this subject. Mainstream archaeologists claim that they are merely a coincidence caused by over-carving while proponents of ancient technology state that this is actually misleading and that attempts to recreate the over-carving effect have been less than conclusive. Based on descriptions found in the Old Testament a number of researchers now believe that the wings of the cherub may have acted like an arc lamp or as two electrical charged poles that could induce a sense of the divine. The discovery caused significant controversy with some experts claiming that the rock was nothing more than a ‘concretion’ of rust and localised fossils.
In the second century, a Syrian temple sheltered a statue of a goddess with one of these types of lights mounted on her head. These went in error after a few centuries because of their calendar and precession, but were copied (with scribal errors) long after they lost their practical usefulness or the possibility of understanding and use of them in the current years, rather than the years in which they were originally used.
