I want to state up front that I have no training in Egyptology.
I'm an engineer providing an engineer's perspective on what we're about to discuss.
The topic is electricity of course and how it was used in ancient Egypt. Look at evidence that's been overlooked.
I think it will enlighten our appreciation for the Egyptians’ engineering sophistication and refine
our understanding of their spiritual beliefs and practices. This is not to suggest anyone else is
wrong, simply that interpretations may be incomplete because of what has been overlooked.
We're going to focus on the tools being used by the characters in certain hieroglyphs.
It's a character's tools and attire, and how they are portrayed being used, that we are concerned with.
This collage of images depicts some of the tools. They are the Was staff, the Djed, the Ankh, the Crook and the Flail.
A few others will be introduced later. With some combinations of these appear to be employed in most of the depictions
we'll look at. The common attire is the headgear and collar. The headgear varies widely, but
common features are the protruding antennas, usually in the form of cobras at the forehead, and the shape, although
variable, always forms an absurdly voluminous envelope about the head. The collar covers the chest made of
concentric rings of metals and beads of precious stones. Metals, especially gold, were used
profusely in both the attire and tools as were minerals such as lapis lazuli. Notice the positioning of the tools in
the next group of images. Notice how the flail is held brushing the shoulder; the crook is held to the
neck; and the characters are in the act of touching each other using their hands, nose, staff and ankh. The ankh is often
depicted held a fraction of an inch from a character's nose by the hand of another. What I'm suggesting is, they were
shocking each other. They are depicted in these images passing electric currents
through each other, using their hands and tools to make connections. To my limited knowledge, no one has
mentioned this before. There have been speculations about use of high technology concerning megalithic
construction, and even that pyramids may be a type of electrical generator. But
I'm not aware that anyone has suggested they were zapping themselves. Yet, that is what is being depicted.
It's very simple really. In each of the images the characters are in the act of making connections between themselves,
the floor, their headgear and some brushy looking Implement using the tools. The brushy implements appear in grounded
stands. Bowls are held in hands like the flail or a fan. The pharaoh is often depicted being fanned by his courtiers.
I know convention is, they depict lotus flowers, Nile lilies and such, and perhaps they are. My observation is, they are
charge collectors like when one rubs a wool sock on a balloon, it builds static charge.
The brushy implement may be fabric, stalks of dry brushes, animal furs or feathers that put in motion brushing
another material, develop a very high potential surface charge, like a Van de Graaff generator.
Brushy implements appear as part of the circuit being connected by hand or tool.
The headgear and collar is also meant to collect charge, with a large surface
area enveloping the head, and an antenna to collect and concentrate charge at the third eye.
They are using these implements to build a huge static charge which is a very easy thing to do by just rubbing things
together using the right materials. The headgear and neck wear must concentrate charge and shape an electric
field around the individual's head. It appears in some cases constructed to produce Saint Elmo's fire or a Jacob’s
Ladder above the head. In all these depictions, they are creating a circuit to experience
electric fields, frequencies, and currents around their heads. Has anyone noticed this before?
An awareness that Egyptians used electricity is not novel, but head zapping?
It's known they made batteries because there are artifacts and they electroplated everything with gold like
it was powdered sugar. But has anyone ever suggested they were shocking their brains?
There are interpretations of these same implements as sonic frequency devices, which makes exceptionally good sense.
However, for a good buzz electric fields and discharge do the same thing way better. Besides, holding a vibrator in the hand
dampens the vibration unless it's being fed energy. The depictions show circuitry between
characters, the floor, furnishings and implements, providing continuity between points of charge collection and generation.
Almost anyone outside of consensus science has already concluded by now that the Dendera light bulb hieroglyph
is depicting something electrical. With what we've just discovered let's take a closer look at that particular
set of hieroglyphs. The entire scenario depicts a circuit with the jet delivering capacitor charge
to what appears to be a giant light bulb. It clearly shows halos of plasma discharge between the seated characters
and the bulb into their heads. The bulb is a giant plasma ball being charged by a big ass capacitor. There is
circuitry, frequency and discharge into people's heads taking place here. The jet appears to be a primitive plate
capacitor, its plates likely made with a crystalline stone to store charge separated by air gaps and a dielectric
core, stood on an isolated central pillar. It is portrayed as part of the circuit, often in context with characters using
bare hands or bladed connectors held to jump the plates. The ankh, staff, or hand, is used to
deliver the spark and control continuity for the energy to flow through the individuals. We can confirm people in
those times considered the staff a type of spiritual tool used to convey magical power, because it is explicitly depicted
that way, not only in Egypt, but in the Bible and other works. Electricity would fill that bill.
The ankh is considered the Key of Life by experts, a tool the gods used to deliver the spark of Divine Life to the
Pharaoh through his nose for some reason. Spark of Life indeed, zap your sinus cavity and you'll feel alive all right.
There's another type of tool that appears to be a lamp or incense burner. In context with the other implements, I
think these are tools that produce ionizing flames. Perhaps they contained reactions using
carbon black, magnesium, oils or other reactive elements. Notice the tools in the images have two
parts, one being a wand that contacts the flame and the lamp itself. Perhaps a wand is a catalyst or flux to
generate ions when heated and the other tools are positioned near to accumulate charge.
These look to be depictions of preparing the tools by saturating or desaturating them of charge before use.
Desaturating makes perfect sense as an act of purification to exhume any lingering spirits before the next use.
In the next painted image, note the circuitry. Note that some characters are on pedestals and some not. Note the same
pattern in colored, dotted and hashed lines used for the hooks. Staffs are used to outline the headgear. It appears they
are touching to float current through their arms and headgear, using staffs and other tools. The motif might represent
how charge diffuses through the circuits. It appears the central characters are about to transfer charge they have built
up to the Pharaoh's hat while standing on pedestals. The Pharaoh is grounded and his crown and flail are a different
color, perhaps to indicate he's purified with the opposite charge and ready for a high-voltage connection to the Gods.
And there are three cartouches suspended at headgear level and two orbs above that also bordered in this pattern. They
look to represent physical objects present in the diagram and not just bordered text. There are instances it's
hard to tell if a glyph is showing a text box, a physical item, or both. Perhaps we miss a layer of meaning and
the cartouche represents prayer wheels that when spun, generate an electric field, with the grounded floor enveloping
the characters and the amplifying voltage potential. The chakras are isolated on pedestals to generate a stat voltage
between them and the pharaoh who is grounded. Or perhaps charge is generated in a dedicated
room with batteries and capacitors and delivered through the wall by an electrode. It appears to me
the Pharaoh liked to get shocked, the bigger the better. Maybe this was how he proved his strength, his divine
connection to the power of the cosmos, and his ability to share that energy with his people. It seems entirely
consistent with established interpretations that they were using electricity this way, and even confirms
why they considered these hats and tools so significant. They were celebrating the spark of life
from the standpoint of people who used electricity in their lives and understood they were dealing with the
cosmic force. I think it's we who get lost in the centuries of layered dogmas about their
many gods and underestimate the profound understanding of nature they possessed. I think this is true of other ancient
cultures as well and we the linear, reasoning scientific reductionists, have long ago accomplished the goal of
reducing our awareness. Another aspect to consider is these electric ceremonies are being conducted,
one can assume, in temples constructed of megalithic stone. Several glyphs portray pedestals the
character sit on or touch. Some appear to be inside some kind of chamber. These rituals may have been conducted in the
bowels of the earth, inside granite chambers or in the open air on platforms that amplified Earth's natural electric
field. If they were in chambers using ionized gases, they would necessarily be rarifying the air.
This could enhance plasma activity tremendously, but might have consequences such as death by suffocation or toxicity.
Perhaps they generated a tolerable gas like helium, or perhaps the exposure was limited to an ante-room, or a brief
purification ritual took place. These are things to consider. The floors are key though to every circuit. We can
assume they are stone and likely conductive. Seated characters are often on isolating
pillows or pedestals, building potential before grounding their tools to the floor. Characters are also seated on low
thrones that appear grounded to the floor and layered in appearance, as if they could be a type of capacitor.
That, I imagine, would send a shock up their spine right through the top of their silly hat.
Passing current through the spine, sinuses and skull has some exotic effects.
We know it works for lobotomy. Lightning victims generally have bad effects, but on the other hand there are marital
aids made with plasma electrodes, so sparks can't be all bad. Hopefully the Egyptians knew how to get positive results.
I believe their use of granite, sandstone, and limestone for temples in all manner of subterranean vaults, their placement
over aquifers and other water features, and their locations around the world, were chosen strategically to make use of
Earth's electric field. What I can say for sure as an engineer is that the little copper, bronze and
iron connectors, found in megalithic stone foundations all over the world, have no structural purpose.
Any force, large enough to move several tons of stone, would snap these pins in a heartbeat.
The only rational purpose is to provide electrical continuity between stone blocks to distribute charge evenly, and
not cause unwanted sparks of the joints. The same is true for why they meticulously mated stones together
without mortar, to provide solid continuity. And the enigmatic nubs left on otherwise
finished stones was not for lifting or because the stone workers got lazy. They are positioned around gates,
doorways, and passageways, to deflect discharge away from where people walked. An energized stone, especially one being
struck by lightning, will absorb and discharge current and one doesn't want that to happen across the doorway you're
walking through. So the nubs are collector points for charge to accumulate and discharge
safely, and help desaturate the stone near the seams, openings, and walkways they're placed around.
There's no doubt in my mind that ancient Egypt was a different world than we know, with a different earth potential, a
different frequency, different energy, a more electrified environment compared to ours, and they used it in ways we must
struggle to imagine, because it is a world foreign to us. The article linked below sheds some
light on ancient construction practices. It’s titled, “MIT engineers create supercapacitor from ancient materials.”
This article describes how MIT Engineers made a capacitor from cement, water and carbon black.
Their experiments show a slight doping of carbon black with concrete allows it to hold a useful capacitor charge.
The team calculated the block of nanocarbon-black-doped concrete about three and a half meters on a side can
store about 10 kilowatt hours of energy, enough for the average household’s daily use.
In other words, your home's foundation could be your energy storage device with this technology.
Likewise, the Egyptians and other megalithic builders used granites and other stones with natural electrical
properties. Granites are composed of silicates - silicon and oxygen compounds with a bit
of other elements mixed in that form crystals and platelets that readily diffuse charge.
Granite is highly conductive and piezoelectric, which means if it's vibrated, it generates electric current.
Sonic vibration would be the easiest way to stimulate the stone and give it a frequency.
It would generate a direct current, pulsed by the resonating sonic frequency. It appears everything they did was based
on static charge and discharge – obviously, because Nikola Tesla hadn't been born yet.
I can imagine, deep in the bowels of a temple being surrounded by granite's natural energy, enhanced by sonic
vibrations, delivered by trumpets and drums from the pageant outside the chambers.
Waiting patiently for my spiritual awakening, while incense fills the room with dense aroma and the only sound is a
hum and crackle as priests turn tables of feathers against my skin speaking incantations.
These things fill my mind with hallucinations, charge my body with dry anticipation and encase my head with a
buzzing presence. Then, wham. Somebody pokes an ankh at my nose and fire shoots from my butt to the top
of my head, energizing chakras I didn't know I had. I could see someone doing that. Not me,
somebody who deserves it, like a pharaoh. The Mayan kings stabbed their penises, which sounds a whole lot worse.
Perhaps electric current stimulated a spiritual experience; perhaps it enhanced psychic ability;
perhaps it stimulates psychedelic experiences; perhaps all three. Maybe that's why their gods have dog heads. If
one thinks about it, head zapping might be considered for many ancient mysteries. Do we really accept these monstrosities
were caused by binding a baby's head? Or did head zapping cause it to unnaturally grow this way?
Did the Egyptians really make astronomically complex constructions from stone by pounding and cutting with
copper saws? Or did they employ electric currents with the stone to make it disaggregate
and therefore be more malleable? These are the questions that I ponder
when I look at the works of ancient Egypt. I'll close with some more images where I
see elements of electric circuitry. I encourage you to look with electric eyes and see what you find.
