Researchers of the ancient Egyptian pyramids draw attention to the following fact: nowhere in the burial chambers there is not a trace of soot. Then a reasonable question arises: under the light of what sources were the paintings of the walls of the tombs made? Were the ancient Egyptians really familiar with electricity?..
At least the following fact allows us to make such an assumption. The Baghdad Museum of Antiquities contains vessels made of baked clay. Historians claim that these "jugs" (their age is about 3000 years) were not used for domestic needs. Moreover, when the archaeologists who dug up these vessels on the banks of the Tigris, looked closely at their contents, they were very surprised: inside there were copper cylinders and bars corroded by specific corrosion. Once they were carefully filled with bitumen. What for?
Experiments have shown that a vessel filled with vinegar becomes … an electric battery! Similar sources could be used, for example, by court jewelers for electroplating - covering one metal with a layer of another.
The invention was made around the time when Pharaoh Tutankhamun ruled in Egypt. So maybe the Egyptians went even further and had electric light sources at their disposal?
