  • In a temple at Dendera in Egypt, travelers can see, carved onto the wall, the image of what appears to some modern eyes to be an electric lightbulb. But is it a depiction of a light? Find out in this video.

      I understand that my point does not take into account common use of the terms but all ignorance is willful (ignorance - derived from the root word ignore). What is not necessarily willful is the less specific word naivety. To be naive is simply to be unaware of information even if you have no reasonable way to be aware of it.

    I watched five minutes of an episode of Ancient Aliens when I was in a hotel. It was funny to hear just how many times they say things like "Some ancient alien theorists think this looks like...", or "Ancient Alien theorists believe this might be...", shortly followed by "If ancient alien theorists are correct, then that means everything we know about our reality is wrong."
    It's just such a tabloid show.
    The social media era is a lot like the Penny Press era. During the Penny Press Era (1830's), hundreds and hundreds of newspapers popped up. Some continue to print now. There was a growing number of literate consumers, and the technology advances allowed anyone to get a newspaper printed, as long as they had content. It was also much faster than before.
    All of a sudden, newspapers went from being published by political parties to being published by anybody willing to put in the effort and/or money to get some stories written, no matter what they content.
    This was basically the beginning of mass produced tabloid newspapers.
    If the Penny Press era started in 1830's, is it any surprise that The Know Nothing Party started up in the mid 1840's? Obviously, this could just be correlation, or it could be based on other events happening at the same time.

I've wondered about the serpent's role in Egyptian mythology, in relation to this image before.

      Actually, there are "light bulbs" that could function like that. The old white fluorescent lighting tubes (could) work with this design.
      The gas in it (so not a vacuum as opposed to light bulbs) allows electrical flow from start to end.
      The reproductions (well, from fantasy) they made of this hieroglyph all lacked the snake and were just glorified neon lights. Not that this observation makes their story fit, but it's worth mentioning. That the reproductions worked is human ingenuity, but nothing proves the hieroglyph depicts an electrical appliance.

    To be fair, that something "looks like" something else isn't necessarily a bad _starting point._ Trouble is when you take it as an _ending point._ It would seem obvious that the next step after looking at this thing would be "well, looks like a lightbulb for sure, but there's also lots of text around it, what does that say?"

There would be hundreds of light bulb factories (and snake farms) to supply the demand. Half the light bulbs would be shaped like dicks, because Rome. They would be mentioned in comedies, because dicks. We would find statues of men with sockets for dick bulbs in their crotches, because seriously, Rome loved dicks. (If there’s one thing you need to know about Rome, it’s their unending adoration of dicks.) If we haven’t found zillions of lamps and bulbs both normal and obscene, and zillions of artworks featuring bulbs, and thousands of references in the writings of the day, then the Romans didn’t have them.

    It was very useful to have a mainstream perspective that is so obviously flawed to any amount of deep thinking, but appears very well made. Judging from comments, you've certainly convinced your warm audience. However, the flaws in your argument are laid bare in an objective manner in the summary file, and I hope you're willing to look through it. We may come at archaeology and anthropology differently, but one thing we should respect are the Philosophies of Science. I do wish you well, and I hope you continue to provide useful translational information. Such work was essential when I decoded hidden information staring Egyptologists in the face on the Ramesses II stele. So I actually love using mainstream translations.

I feel that this would even further reinforce your excellent arguments. It's located in a crypt under a false stone beneath the floor of a room deep at the very very back of the temple, indicating that this room was extra sacred to the priests, who were no doubt watching the further erosion of their ancient beliefs as the Greeks continued to merge ancient Egyptians beliefs with their own. Anyone that believes that this was a "light bulb" is pretty ignorant.

The question is did they have the other materials and know how to assemble one. Materials yes, and the know how is unknown. They were electroplating so they did have a concept of electrical energy even if they didn’t fully understand it. I don’t downplay the capabilities of the builders of these magnificent structures which show a technological ability that they don’t get enough credit for.
