This is amazing, omg 😲 why didn’t we see this before! Egyptians had electricity and only this guy found it…

/s (in case…)

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Have you not seen those big teslacoil defence tower–monolith things? How did you think those were powered?

Crazyslinkz ,

Sacrifices? God’s will? Oh no, sorry aliens… it was aliens 👽

I’m no Egyptologist, but I think I saw on the interwebs someone had proof it was aliens, they just can’t share the proof right now…

/s (again)

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Alien sacrifices for favourable gods will, yes, that is correct.
And yes, it was (mostly) aliens bcs if higher copper concentration in their blood.

How could anyone believe Egyptians had electricity by wire, that doesn’t make any sense.

Yes, definitely aliens, because no way did those Brown people ever come up with how to build such complex structures. Nope. Definitely aliens. White aliens at that. Probably from the Anglo Saxon galaxy.

those where obviously fueled with the refined tiberium they imported from Agarttha

Ah yes, things that look the same must be the same. Much science.

shalafi ,

OK, that’s not as nuts as some of these. So what are the artifacts?

Sorry… you think believing the Ancient Egyptians had electricity because those things look kind of like electrical insulators isn’t nuts? Because I have news for you- two things can look alike and be totally different things.

This, for example, is not a petrified screw. It’s a crinoid. A once-living sea creature.

I don’t know what those Egyptian things are, but it is definitely nuts to assume they’re electrical insulators just because they resemble them.

It’s nuts that looks like a bolt.

It’s the “stem” of an ancient sea creature (an animal, not a plant) from about 400 million years ago that looked something like this:

This is sea lily, one of its modern descendants:

They’re made out of wood and the wires are museum mounts.
Per this site, they’re furniture decorations.

The thing about any crackpot argument for “ancient electricity” that just dawned on me, is that they call it The Bronze Age for a reason, the ancients insisted on the versatility of their metal (bronze = copper + tin) over its’ conductivity (pure copper).

There was a more ancient Copper Age, but it was brief, bronze was the definition of a technological leap forward.

I wonder what the ancient Egyptians named their electrical companies. 🤔 I think Nile Current and Pyramid Power Co. sound pretty good

No? 🤔

ChicoSuave ,

This guy is probably close to discovering that the sphinx was part of a gate that used electricity to “close” instead of doors. That’s how advanced Egypt was. Must be because they were trade partners with Atlantis or something.

Evil_Shrubbery ,

The other thing on the right image is a big container full of oil - will you now claim ancient civilisations had those too?!?

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Does olive oil count?

Evil_Shrubbery ,

From that Popeye chick?
Idk, I don’t think it’s the same period.
