did ancient Egyptians invent the lightbulb?

wouldn't surprise me

I remember reading they found something that was similar to a battery once....

kewl^^

I believe that was known as the Bahgdad battery. Discovered in Iraq.

I saw that Egyptian carving before.
I am doubtful, that that is suppose to represent a light bulb.
It does give that appearance. I just do not believe that is what it is suppose to represent.(gut feeling here)

Perhaps it is a representation of fertility.

"Baghdad battery" dude thats priceless....

damn i wish i could go back in time and find out what these ancient civillizations knew (damn Christian missionaries destroying all the records of the ancient's achievements).

i hope thats hyperbole. there are so many things wrong with that statement that it just has to be hyperbole.

yeah it is

I saw a show about ufo's and ancient civilizations a few days ago, and that carving came up..

I have to admit i was surprised to see people actually claiming that it was a light bulb.
If you where to cover the "crown" of the so called light bulb in the carving, you would never say it looked like a light bulb.
If you showed the full carving, without saying the word "light bulb" or anything related to it. How many can honestly say that they thought "light bulb" when they saw it?

That is interesting to say the least. Im gonna post a thread soon about all types of ancient civillizations. If any of you want to check it out.

History has not been the nice even rise of man into never b4 reached heights of technology. More like a crazy roller coaster.

There is 1,,but it is a large one thing missing in the "carved" passages in ALL the pyramids in Egypt.

WHERE IS THE SOOT FROM THE TORCHES!!!!!!!!

There is no soot on ANY of the passage ceilings,,,So where did the light come from when the workers were doing their thing down there?

This is my first post in this thread:

Have they ever found evidence of glass capable being a part of an old light bulb?
I know they had the electricity (not much, though).

Welcome to the forum.

Well maybe the soot got eaten away by natural microbes, over the years.:shrug:

The passages were all built well before the ceilings were. They were built from bottom down (of course), so you would not even need torches. Even working at night, torches would not leave any soot in an open-air cavern.

Here is a Christianized copy of it depicting Job: http://www.hri.org/MPA/other/Agio_Oros/gallery1.html

Actually it looks more like the magnetosphere to me than a light bulb: http://www.solarmetrics.com/Images/magnetosphere_small.jpg

I read a book on the Bahgdad battery and its prity much excepted that it is a battery , physically it has all the right parts exactly to be a battery not only that thay found trace amounts of a mild acidic acid on the jar.



Sceptical archaeologists say it could be a storage vessel for scrolls/papyrus or parchment inside the jar and had completely rotted away, perhaps leaving a trace of slightly acidic organic residue. And the jar resembles other types of jar for scrolls only without the (copper cylinder), (a single iron rod), (rod isolated from the copper by asphalt plug), and both rod and cylinder fits inside the opening of the jar with trace amounts of a mild acidic. What the hell is wrong with these people it is obviously not a jar for scrolls that just happends to consist of all the exact elements of a battery. + not much room for a scroll (wtf how can thay say that with any logic) the same Sceptical archaeologists even say ok it was a battery that the priests used to feel a electrical tingle or to amaze people by electrifying a metal statue or some electro-acupuncture. with not one bit of evidence to back them up.

Sceptical archaeologists say experimental archaeology and such experiments can only show that something was physically possible, they say nothing about whether it actually occurred. Yet thay comeup with there own very poor bullshit illogical theories.

We have to rewrite our understanding of histroy all the time and them Sceptical archaeologists have been proven wrong time and time again.

on old legends thay said was just storys like troy and many others. WRONG

on dates and time frames of many old civilisations. WRONG

until carbin dating came out thay would swear by there old data and anyone that went against there dates and there understanding was WRONG

on there understanding of ancient people there still being proven WRONG all the time.

people with that mind set want to think or need to think thay know it all by now ,anything that dosent fit into there understanding of things cant be right. Most people are sheep and are told what to think or think and share the opinions of what the group thinks, its natural. And this is NOT just about a battery or some type of ancient light theres 101 different things that archaeologists and science CANT explain and just dosent fit in to there understanding but are real. Any Mathematician would tell you if you have a complicated sum that seems to be wright in most parts but some parts just dont add up ,than the sum is wrong. The mainstream view of history is WRONG. As it has been proven wrong in the past many times. Our latest theories on ancient history are just that THEORIES.

We have Legends of previous destruction of ages and many strange artifacts that we cant fully explain from ancient Crystal Skulls to so-called Batterys and many others that dont fit in to what we know. Dont believe anyones theorie as fact because we just dont no what went on in the far off ancient past.

I’m sure that this belief comes from this:








These images come from the Temple of Hathor at Dandarah, one of the best preserved temples in Egypt. More precisely, these pictures come from chambers located in the eastern, southern, and western sides. Within the temple a great, elaborately decorated hypostyle hall is supported by 18 Hathor-headed columns, giving it a forest-like appearance. The ceiling is carved with astronomical scenes and the walls with the details of a royal visit. Off the hall a smaller one with six columns is surrounded by six warehouses, and it, in turn, leads into two vestibules, the second of which opens into the sanctuary where the sacred boat was kept containing the image of the goddess. On the roof of the temple are several chapels dedicated to the god Osiris (Usiri), in one of which a zodiac and sundial were discovered.

Hathor (or Athyr) was in ancient Egypt the goddess of the sky, of women, of fertility, of dance, of alcohol, and of love. Her worship originated in predynastic times (4th millennium BC). The name Hathor means “estate of Horus (Hor)” and may not be her original name. Her principal animal form was that of a cow, and she was strongly associated with motherhood. One of her surnames was the Lady of Dandarah, because in this cult centre in Upper Egypt, she was worshiped as the consort of Horus and Edfu. She was closely connected with the sun god Re of Heliopolis, whose eye or daughter she was said to be. Hathor was also known as the Lady of the Mountains, and the Mistress of Turquoise. At Thebes she was also the goddess of the dead, and was associated with Isis at Byblos.

The above pictures show Horsmtwy, son of Hathor, taking the shape of a serpent; it was in this shape that Hor sprung into being.

But what does any of this have to do with electricity? The answer is - nothing at all.
