The Baghdad Battery

In 1936, while excavating ruins of a 2000-year-old village near Baghdad, workers discovered mysterious small vase. A 6-inch-high pot of bright yellow clay dating back two millennia contained a cylinder of sheet-copper 5 inches by 1.5 inches. The edge of the copper cylinder was soldered with a 60-40 lead-tin alloy comparable to today's solder. The bottom of the cylinder was capped with a crimped-in copper disk and sealed with bitumen or asphalt. Another insulating layer of asphalt sealed the top and also held in place an iron rod suspended into the center of the copper cylinder. The rod showed evidence of having been corroded with an acidic agent. 

 

The ancient battery
in the Baghdad Museum



The Baghdad Battery, sometimes referred to as the Parthian Battery, is the common name for a number of artifacts created in Mesopotamia, possibly during the Parthian or Sassanid period (the early centuries AD), and probably discovered in 1936 in the village of Khuyut Rabbou'a, near Baghdad, Iraq. These artifacts came to wider attention in 1938 when Wilhelm König, the German director of the National Museum of Iraq, found the objects in the museum's collections. In 1940, König published a paper speculating that they may have been galvanic cells, perhaps used for electroplating gold onto silver objects.[2] This interpretation continues to be considered as at least a hypothetical possibility. If correct, the artifacts would predate Alessandro Volta's 1800 invention of the electrochemical cell by more than a millennium.




 
An Ancient Battery

German archaeologist , Wilhelm König, examined the object and came to a surprising conclusion that the clay pot was nothing less than an ancient electric battery.

Re-creation of the Baghdad battery

The ancient battery in the Baghdad Museum, as well as those others which were unearthed in Iraq, are all dated from the Parthian occupation between 248 BCE and 226 CE. However, Dr. Konig also found copper vases plated with silver in the Baghdad Museum, excavated from Sumerian sites in southern Iraq, dating back to at least 2500 BCE. When the vases were lightly tapped, a blue patina or film separated from the surface, which is characteristic of silver electroplated onto copper base. It would appear then that the Parthians inherited their batteries from one of the earliest known civilizations.



In 1940, Willard F.M. Gray, an engineer at the General Electric High Volatage Laboratory in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, read of Konig's theory. Using drawings and details supplied by German rocket scientist Willy Ley, Gray made a replica of the battery. Using copper sulfate solution, it generated about half a volt of electricity.

In 1970s, German Egyptologist, Arne Eggebrecht built a replica of the Baghdad battery and filled it with freshly pressed grape juice, as he speculated the ancients might have done. The replica generated 0.87V. He used current from the battery to electroplate a silver statuette with gold.

Ha I hope for your sake that's a joke, the fact the ancient Egyptians had a light source using a element powered by a battery is all well and good but to suggest they where used to cultivate cannabis indoors is rather far fetched to say the least.

Did Ramses have to do a secret stealth indoor grow to avoid being busted? In Egypt? With all that sun? Being an Emperor and all.

Interesting post but a ludicrous conclusion you have drawn from it.

Ok you got it sound good didnt it.

after the bagdad battery, they discovered they had fridges around the same time too, 2 terracotta pots, 1 a few inches smaller than the other thats placed inside the larger 1, the gap filled with damp sand, the action of evaporation cools anything that's in the smaller inside pot!

does that make sense? im shyt at explaining stuff!

Yeah, that's spot on afaik, it's an excellent low tech way of keeping stuff cool, just keep the sand damp.. but I have to say it's about as much like a modern fridge as a cold-sink is like air-con.

Interesting stuff about the battery, though I'll trust a sky documentary titled like that about as far as I can throw it! Egyptians and Greeks had some highly advanced tech that was lost for centuries though so it wouldn't surprise me.

FACT

It's in capitals and everything. End of discussion, I've just FACTed you, you can't come back from that, even with research & shit.

they also devised similar moving buildings that had built in traps of mercury channels and had a thing for wands of horus























i just wanted to post the most random sentence ..my work here is done .

ps .the large gap between sentences is subliminal in nature ..how many think there should be a youtube video there ? ..thats how fuckin stoned i am at this moment ,i wanted to post a youtube video but when i went to i forgot which one and then got distracted and watched a bit of blackfoot and some rock videos ,then i made a brew a smoke a look outside and came to the same realisation as above ..aliens .

Sad bunch of ....
Lemon and lime it's time to shine
If it makes you happy then have a beam of mine
Running out of time bitters the wine
that grow on your vine,
I sill shine,
