Part 10/13:
The Baghdad Battery further stirs the pot of ancient technological prowess. Unearthed in Iraq, this artifact hints at an understanding of electricity that many might not expect from ancient civilizations. Despite modern scholarly interpretations that view it as a device for electroplating, its existence raises important questions: What other forms of electricity might have been discovered by ancient peoples?
Jason Martell and Giorgio Tsoukalos, fervent proponents of ancient alien theories, suggest that the design could serve as a simple electrolytic cell, generating a charge with a mix of acidic substances. This implies a level of knowledge about electrical currents and their applications thousands of years prior to recorded scientific advancements.
