In its heyday Mudcat had real 'dig in the dirt' archeologists.
There is room for argument but ~4 millenium ago Egypt had already harnessed direct current but except for light and electro plating with gold its utilitarian use is unclear to me. The power plant was an ingenius use of granite under great pressure to produce piezo electric current in the great pyramid complete with capaciters and obilisks as receivers. In other words they had a Tesla like system of broadcasting electricity.
Another 2000 years passed before the Baghdad batteries were in use.
The first lecture is about why there was a civilization collapse around 1200BC/ The Egyptian power grid is just a curiosity of mine.
