And I know many scholars, Christopher Dunn and others, have looked at the idea of how Giza and these three pyramids are harnessing energy in some way.
J
3:45Jorge PabonGUEST
Well, the Baghdad Battery, again, is well-known in mainstream science.
J
3:49Jorge PabonGUEST
very interesting depiction of it is that, you know, it was used to electroplate jewelry.
J
3:55Jorge PabonGUEST
And another thing that they theorize it was used for was, you know, back thousands of years ago, there were ancient churches would always be competing.
J
4:03Jorge PabonGUEST
All right.

Ancient Technology, Anunnaki and the Lost Cycle of Civilization
J
9:19Jason MartellGUEST
I, I made it [clears throat] for two purposes.
J
9:21Jason MartellGUEST
The first purpose is simply that, um, the mon- the mainstream view of the Baghdad Battery is that, you know, they've s- discovered about 12 of them so far in, in the, uh, Middle East area, mostly in Iraq.
J
9:35Jason MartellGUEST
And it's a, it's a clay pot.
J
9:37Jason MartellGUEST
It's about four to six inches tall, um, two to three or four inches in diameter.
J
9:44Jason MartellGUEST
And what you would do is, is if you, if you fill it with any weak acidic acid, grape juice, vinegar, wine, um, it's got a copper rod, uh, or excuse me, a copper lining, and a little iron rod that when you mix a, an acidic acid with this copper and iron, they will create an abundance of electrolytes, and you can literally create an electrical current.
J
10:08Jason MartellGUEST
So mainstream science acknowledges that it was a battery, but they only give two hypothetical theories for what it was being used for, which in their own right are still kinda cool.
J
10:19Jason MartellGUEST
First one was they would, ancient man would use the Baghdad Battery to heat up, let's say, gold or silver.
J
10:27Jason MartellGUEST
You know, passing this electrical current that it would generate into a little pool of gold or silver so that they could spray it over an amulet or a necklace to, uh, coat it with gold or silver.

If you find a relic and you do what they did, it makes a low grade of energy.
