This is amazing, omg 😲 why didn't we see this before! Egyptians had electricity and only this guy found it...

/s (in case...)

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Have you not seen those big teslacoil defence tower–monolith things? How did you think those were powered?

[–] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

those where obviously fueled with the refined tiberium they imported from Agarttha

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sacrifices? God's will? Oh no, sorry aliens... it was aliens πŸ‘½

I'm no Egyptologist, but I think I saw on the interwebs someone had proof it was aliens, they just can't share the proof right now...

/s (again)

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yes, definitely aliens, because no way did those Brown people ever come up with how to build such complex structures. Nope. Definitely aliens. White aliens at that. Probably from the Anglo Saxon galaxy.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Alien sacrifices for favourable gods will, yes, that is correct.
And yes, it was (mostly) aliens bcs if higher copper concentration in their blood.

How could anyone believe Egyptians had electricity by wire, that doesn't make any sense.

They only built the pyramids because a voice shouted: "Silos needed".

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Makes sense, can't have minerals from Agarttha piling up out in the open.

If you use an emoji here, it's assumed you're being sarcastic and pretending to be one of them

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well, I never know in today's internet. That's why I said "in case".

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.run 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah yes, things that look the same must be the same. Much science.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 11 points 2 years ago

Hmm... This ape skeleton looks like this human skeleton...

WAIT! NOT LIKE THAT!!!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

OK, that's not as nuts as some of these. So what are the artifacts?

They're made out of wood and the wires are museum mounts.
Per this site, they're furniture decorations.

Sorry... you think believing the Ancient Egyptians had electricity because those things look kind of like electrical insulators isn't nuts? Because I have news for you- two things can look alike and be totally different things.

This, for example, is not a petrified screw. It's a crinoid. A once-living sea creature.

I don't know what those Egyptian things are, but it is definitely nuts to assume they're electrical insulators just because they resemble them.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's nuts that looks like a bolt.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's the "stem" of an ancient sea creature (an animal, not a plant) from about 400 million years ago that looked something like this:

This is sea lily, one of its modern descendants:

Ah, so that's where screws come from. TIL!

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Don't worry, I got your joke!

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

The thing about any crackpot argument for "ancient electricity" that just dawned on me, is that they call it The Bronze Age for a reason, the ancients insisted on the versatility of their metal (bronze = copper + tin) over its' conductivity (pure copper).

There was a more ancient Copper Age, but it was brief, bronze was the definition of a technological leap forward.

[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 16 points 2 years ago

If you looked up ribbed dildo, you'd find some similar looking stuff to those. So idk what you're seeing.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I wonder what the ancient Egyptians named their electrical companies. πŸ€” I think Nile Current and Pyramid Power Co. sound pretty good

Yes. Ice cream and styrofoam can also both look like white balls, but I ain't eating the styrofoam or packing fragiles with scoops of vanilla

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This guy is probably close to discovering that the sphinx was part of a gate that used electricity to "close" instead of doors. That's how advanced Egypt was. Must be because they were trade partners with Atlantis or something.

What the fuck are you talking about, Atlanta isn't real. It was clearly aliens

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Ever noticed how there's two Georgias

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

This kind of apophenia is easily dispelled by looking at the objects in question more closely. Which is impossible to do with single images

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

No? πŸ€”

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The other thing on the right image is a big container full of oil - will you now claim ancient civilisations had those too?!?

From that Popeye chick?
Idk, I don't think it's the same period.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

See, all these people who wonder how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids don't realize that they were hauling those stones in Cybertrucks!

Now I see it too! The smiley next to this post has picked something out of his nose and asking himself whereto put it or just eat it.
