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.

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.

And that's the next step they fail to take, as and that would be the one to rebut the original lightbulb presumption.

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.

In my own research applying the well-practiced "it looks like" methodology, I came to the irrefutable conclusion that those items were not lightbulbs of any kind but rather extremely large marital aids for (this is a bit of speculation here) the Nephilim.

So it's pretty common for, at least internet alternate history "experts" to go based on photographs, or in some cases actually going to sites and photographing, but then making claims based on the appearance of an artifact.... they don't use any other context, and so get things wrong

Pareidolia and confirmation bias usually suffice for them. They already have their "answers" in their mind and what follows is their brain _"filling in the blanks"_ for them to see what they want to see - as opposed to what might actually be there. 🤷

"the temple featuring the so-called light bulb technology, is caked with soot" 💀🔥

What a great, fantastic video, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this channel (even though we have major disagreements on things). One question, WHY would no not mention WHERE the "Dendera Light Bulb" is located? 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.

I love the fact that all these ancient civilizations equiped with electric saws and light bulbs keep talking nonsence about gods and afterlife every time they write something. Shouldn't they mention some high mathematics or physics here and there? Unless they used magic to produce this electricity.

0:55 Just to be clear, the ancient egyptians did not have glassmaking shops *for lightbulb making.* And lightbulbs or shards of lightbulbs dating to ancient egypt have never been found. BUT the ancient egyptians definitely had glass (afaik since the New Kingdom), glassmaking, and glassmaking shops. Just not for... you know...freakin modern lightbulbs.

Definitely did have glass shops. If Glass can be blown then a bulb is very much in their capabilities. The glass in Light bulbs are fairly easy to do. 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.

They made glass jewelry, and in the Ptolemaic period even began making glassware. But glass blowing was not introduced until the first century CE.

@@WorldofAntiquity absolutely have to go by evidence and you may be correct. The hard part is understanding in my opinion is glass making. Glass blowing is a small leap and until evidence proves they made that leap is provided that most of us agree on your statement is right. There is still so much to research in Egypt that evidence could be uncovered. It will take us centuries on the ground to fully understand what knowledge they actually had to be honest. I’ve been on the ground researching in Egypt and there simply is much we still do not know. The time span Egyptian history covers is not usually evident by the common lay person, why things get lumped together. I don’t always agree with you David but that’s ok. I support your work.

You know, I couldn't give a flying F about the stupid ideas of these pseudo-science crackpots who bugger common sense. But I love this video for the simple fact that it provides just enough motivation to learn a little about actual Egyptian thinking of a certain period. I can't get myself to read about religious ideas of Egyptians, but hearing them in contrast to the hair-brained thinking of some people makes them just interesting enough to learn about. Keep this stuff coming; it's great!!
