The Dendera 'Light bulb'

[Harte]

The Egyptians used  two methods to avoid soot - castor oil, which is remarkably free of soot. Second while drawing/carving in places like the Valley of Kings where the tunnels/rooms couldn't be left open like in pyramids/above ground buildings they used two methods to keep soot from collecting on the ceiling and sides, they either smeared it with mud or put up textile barriers, these caught any soot, and were removed once the artist was finished.

Additionally: as found the so called Baghdad 'batteries' wouldn't generate electricity. They'd have to modified using modern knowledge to do that. There is no evidence they did that.

Not to mention they weren't found in Egypt, and they date to WELL into the Roman era.
The Romans mysteriously didn't know about batteries in a kingdom they themselves controlled and occupied.

Before your foot goes all the way down your throat, it might be a good idea to maybe make some small effort to learn at least something about this subject, on which you are so ignorant.
For example, the temple is Ptolemaic, and the Egyptians of that period wrote the description of what's in that artwork RIGHT THERE ON THE SAME WALL JUST ABOVE IT.
See, nobody is trying to stop any conversation. They are simply trying to help you keep from humiliating yourself in front of the entire world.
Seems they've failed, eh?

I am failing to feel the embarrassment for claiming that those "in the know" often serve only to silence conversation... you kind of made my point for me...

But I'm not going to sulk... I only was conversing about non-specifics, in the 'interface' between the initiated and those who should just remain silent in ignorance waiting to be 'told' what's what.

My comments were not about the wall, or a carving, or some archeological minutiae ...

I was talking about presumed sources of information...

But I get it... it must be infuriating, to know all the answers... 


PS - I'm really not offended, but not sure why being offensive was your best option.

No we don't know all the answers, nor do archaeologists - which is why they are constantly excavating (if it was all dogma there would be need) and theories are constantly changing, what they and usDO know is what the actual current EVIDENCE is.

He was trying to make something that looked similar with (I suppose) today's technology, it's natural that it looks similar.

PS: I didn't watch the video.

There are actually several components to this demonstration that he explains like the figure behind with the 2 knives and the man with a double face(capacitor)

Queued up here
https://youtu.be/g507G2Ei2To?t=568

Others have built models base on a common light bulb, but they don't explain all the other parts in the stone image
But the bottom line is it required a power source, he gets more into that at the end of the video

How much did the Egyptians use electricity? 
Geoffrey Drumm has been posting on youtube about the function of the Pyramids as large scale chemical plants that often required electricity.  This diagram shows all the areas they were making use of electricity
https://youtu.be/BW7M5RCN0XU?t=2404

Drumm made the chemical connection when exploring the red pyramid which is composed of 3 chambers.  The final chamber has a strong ammonia smell.
It appears the discovery of the modern ammonia process(Haber), reversed engineered this pyramid and never told anyone.  He visited Egypt often

Do you have any thoughts on this guys device, and did you watch it operate? 
The plasma aspects and similarity to the carving are interesting.

I personally was really excited about it and surprised it did not get more views and recognition

The same goes for The Land of Chem channel, he has mostly figured out what the pyramids and other structures were being used for, but largely ignored.  At least he has been featured on some other popular channels like Danny Jones
https://youtu.be/KJC2cO-Mowg?t=1206

This also led him to discover what the UK stones were used for at the Avebury complex

He explains his point of view, that doesn't mean he is right.

I watched until he mentioned that mercury plasma "moves away from you" and that there are two kinds of charge.
That's hardly an explanation, it sounds more like throwing science-sounding words at the viewer.

What power source did the Egyptians supposedly use?

[David64]

At it's most basic it would be necessary as a tool to illuminate tight indoor spaces, much like inside temples or pyramids, to see to chisel inscriptions?
Question is what kind of battery would it use?

We know they had vinegar and copper, so if they had zinc or zinc ore, they could make a chemical battery.

Accidentally creating a battery is easy, using it to produce light is not, it involves a lot of different steps, so while I think it's possible they could have made batteries, I seriously doubt they used them to produce light.

I have that book but never got around to reading it.  What's the relevance?

They look like flower buds to me, my mind went to magnolia buds but since it's Egypt they probably represent the Nile lotus which would fit well with their myths and beliefs. Not that I know much about Egyptology.

If you consider this book... and those of other authors (Sitchin, Von Daneken, etc.)  from a phenomenological perspective... it marks and denotes a crack in the academic cloisters powerful facade of "no one gets to" opine cogently contrary to the narrative which the consensus has established. "Established" and "consensus" being the operative terms.

Attack all dissent (based on supposition) all inquiry (to that effect) as if apostasy...

The trope was established by their own manner of reaction to intriguing visualization of refined iconography.

All humans recognize symbols... just not what they mean...

"Could" someone have devised such a thing... and not have it be called miraculous?
Seems so.
(or maybe that was their "sci-fi" dream.)

That does not lead us to expect that the possibility constitutes "proof."
(Just as with aliens... proof now is the pudding... not 'in' it.)
