Article: Dendera Light Bulb and Baghdad Battery Nonsense: ahotcupofjoe.net/2016/11/dend...
Taken from the original article; A resurgence of the thoroughly debunked “Dendera light bulb” and the “Baghdad battery” pairing has started making it’s way through Facebook lately. Its as if the internet ran out of crazy ideas and is recycling old ones. Or, more likely, a new generation of the gullible is learning to spell and is now making it’s way down the path of Big-Woo, where shills are pushing new comers to spend their money on books and videos.
The Dendera Light Bulb claim; Ancient Egyptians had light bulbs powered by batteries made of jars that they ostensibly received from space aliens.
The reality; There is a panel comprised of five stone reliefs in the Temple of Hathor in Dendera, Egypt that shows the mythical depiction of lotus flower spawning a snake held aloft by a djed pillar.
The mythical symbols; The lotus is the symbol of creation, life, and birth in Egyptian religion and spirituality (Pinch 2004). A djed pillar is the symbol of stability and endurance. The snake represents Ra’s serpent form being created from primordial waters. The field surrounding Ra’s snake form is referred to in ancient Egyptian literature as protective magical energy in liquid form that all gods and pharaohs possess (Faulkner 1970).
The temple; The Temple of Hathor, where the panel is situated, was constructed during the Graeco-Roman period at about 332-395 CE, and is one of the best preserved temples of the period in Egypt. A large hypostyle hall leads to a smaller hypostyle hall, which ultimately ends at the sanctuary.

Great pitch and delivery overall, you sir, would make an excellent narrator, of you aren't one already.
One note, however.
Maybe only put 'debunked' on the title card when you definitively debunk something.
Someone on a blog called milleetunetasses
Hypothesised that the pyramids were used to produce natron and that those ‘Lightbulbs‘ are actually watermist escaping a nozzle
Can't believe I didn't see this till now. Glad to to know at least Nick is "on the mend".
@@paulapridy6804 Nick is dead.
@@tacocruiser4238 unfortunately, I found that out about 10 minutes after writing that 😔
RIP Nick. You will be missed. You put up a grand fight brother. I can’t explain how much you’ve helped me. You were a bright light in a dim world. Thank you for everything my brother, my teacher, my fellow traveler. Rest now. You fought hard. You will be greatly missed. Much love.
He died?
@@tacocruiser4238 Yes, he passed away recently. Very sad stuff. He seemed to be a loving husband, son and father. They have a donation setup on on his channel to help his fam.
:'(
Wow, so young. Sad too, as he was so excited about history. I even made fun of him for it once and he just took it in stride. Rest in peace Nick.
Rest in peace, Nick. Your passion lives on through your videos and with all those you inspired to love history as much as you did.
I just got notified Nick didn't make it. I am devastated. :(
I am sorry for Nick. I did not know him, but I appriciated the level of enthusiasm and devotion he brought to the history. Such a great guy, will be surely missed by all history lovers.
Thank you for this episode Carl (if I may), very much in the spirit of the channel. I hope to see you here more often, even while wishing Nick a speedy recovery and return.
Rest in peace, thank you for your contributions to UA-cam and history education.
Love to have you back.
Just heard what happened. My sincere condolences 🙏🏼
Very nice presentation. I knew about the fact that this was NOT a light bulb, but loved the explanation and the translation of the text! You did very well to be your first presentation on UA-cam and you have a very nice voice and nice tone. I hope to see more videos from you while we wait for Nick to make a full recovery.
RIP Nick, Thanks for everything
Thanks for the explanation. Reading the text and showing other ships with lotus ends really put it in perspective and cleared it all up.
Just heard the news and I'm heartbroken. Loved your channel, Nick. RIP, man.
I'm so so sorry Nick, rest in peace. Wonderful channel really.
Rest In Peace
Thanks alot Mr. Feagans for peeing in our Cheerios
RIP
Excellent job! Nice to meet you 😊
Thank you both for your hard work.
Get well soon 😊
Great job, especially for your first time! And very interesting, I’ve always wondered about this. Cheers and be encouraged to do it again! You only get better presenting over time with practice and you did great. Cheers buddy
Absolutely enjoyed your presentation on the topic. Wonderful job!
This is good work, one thing that gets me with ancient history is they literally say what many things are & mean but instead of going straight to the texts/what was left, we draw our own conclusions & create our own backstories.
It never made sense for that to be a light bulb but with all the excavation/robbing of tombs & sights, they haven’t found any light bulbs.
Incredibly interesting and well presented debunk thank you, it's lovely seeing people help Nick out by creating quality content like this ❤️
Good to hear Nick is still kicken it!
Good man. Good vid. Already subscribed 👍
RIP Nick :(
Rest in Peace, Nick.
And THANK YOU for citing your work!!
Thanks so much! When in doubt about ancient things -read the description before declaring it a surfboard or lightbulb or the face of your favorite biblical character.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!
This the first time I was recommended this channel, and I am overjoyed to see debunking of all this sort of nonsense. Keep it up!
well done, your information is the best, smart man carl! Thanks very much. This machine allows the standing spirit to get a flesh body again, as they have had a death experience, as the frog and snake is used as base flesh that is held in the chamber, as the lotus flower transfers your spirit from being held trapped inside its base, spirit and transfers out of the plant, as the head bulb of the plant reaches to the end of the chamber, as the clear chamber tube shrinks you get clear skin at first, as your spirit is transferred to inside the chamber and your head and neck starts growing first then the body from the plant and snake and frog.
You will be missed! Straight to Elysian Fields for you!
Rest in Peace
This guy definitely has the voice and cadence for a UA-camr
This was a good presentation. I’m glad people are clarifying the stuff out there. Thank you much!
Thanks Nick, rip mate
Great video Carl! Thanks for the contextual information regarding that famous image. Thinkin’ about ya Nick get well soon buddy
Yes the ancient Egyptians were smart( at least some of them) but they also got a lot of things wrong.
Thank you for this explanation and translation of the text! Makes sense now. Can you do one on the Lord Pakal (sp?) sarcophagus lid please??
Just discovered Nick passed away. I am so sorry, and his family has my sincere condolences. I hope his family bounces back. I'm sure they will, of course.
Great presentation Carl. Have a nice day.
Rest in peace Nick. You will be missed dearly :(
Couldn't possibly be a lightbulb, how provincial to even suggest such a thing. Occam's razor assures us the most simple, reasonable answer is typically the correct one. So naturally this is a depiction of an immortal sky-god named Harsomtus who has taken on the appearance of a snake and is emerging from a lotus flower while traveling on a barge supported by a massive phallus, I mean djed pillar. Just another casual friday in ancient Dendera.
Dude that is the most satirical sarcastic SARDONIC wonderful comment I've read his year and believe me brother i read a lot of comments looking for angles intellects information possibilities humor with fresh perspectives Hope for humanity LOL. Kudos to you and Cheers!!!
💯
@@danlucas5041 They used torches (there is soot on the ceiling of some temples, the Dendera temple has reliefs coverred in it, despite conspiracies blatantly lying about it and trying to tell people that there's no soot for whatever reason). Later they used olive oil lamps and we know that the temples were cleaned frequently and treated well. In case of the pyramids they could just, you know, build the roof after they painted the walls because they are no idiots, which is an established theory. This makes a lot more sense than coming up with light bulb theories where nobody seems to consider where they got these materials from and how they made wires, cables, modern thin glass (ancient egyptian glass was very thick, rough, milky and they painted it, wearing it as jewelry)
Nice job Carl, calm presentation of the archaeology and meaning interesting in its’ own right...
It’s always great to hear someone who knows what they are talking about . I get so tired of hearing people who have no expertise on interpretation of what’s being said . I see so many on UA-cam taking and making it into something it’s not for example the Handbags it’s some sort of secret technology. It’s a Darn water bucket and if you look you can see what’s going on . What got me off so much of that Ancient Alien theory was the one guy no matter what the topic it’s Aliens got to be Aliens . I just started doing my own research and found most likely not Aliens Lol ! Thanks for your expertise.
Unfortunately he passed away this week.
@@guymanuel4260 who passed away this week ?
@@richardsparks7051 the person whose channel this is
@@guymanuel4260 after you sent me last message I went and found out . I knew that he had been very sick . I went to his Facebook page and saw a post his wife had made . His channel was first I ever subscribed to . I’m a big history nerd so finding his channel was like opening a gift . I don’t watch to much TV so all the other links I found is my entertainment.
Great video guys, glad to hear that Nick is on the mend!
It's funny, all people had to do was
translate the text...
One should always look for the obvious most feasible explanation first though. Our brains want to solve puzzles so we're eager to put any label on it. (However, Archeologists would have us believe everything they can't explain is a religious ritual item too. Why won't scholars allow for simple artistic expression in history? LOL)
Thank you for keeping this Chanel going.
Well done, thank-you for your time to present the facts
You had me at "baboon with knives symbolizes danger". We should change all radiation symbols to the same as it is...just about the same thing. "Warning-not all bipeds should touch this stuff" or some such.
We need more of you.
RIP NICK 🙏
Fascinating! Also, your voice is amazing! Both smooth yet authoritative. I would love to hear you present more content!
Great presentation! Would love to see more videos from you!
It still could be a light bulb. The Egyptian description does not eliminate the possibility of this not being a light bulb...
really? put that bottle down .
To be fair this explanation isn't exactly 100% @@wout123100
Don't come at me with decades of scholarly research and an understanding of the underlying facts and context, I want speculation and wild-ass uneducated guesses based upon pure flights of fancy. When I was learning the electrical trade I can tell you the first thing I was taught was that electricity is as dangerous as a baboon with knives, it's just common sense, the second thing was that lotus plants are only rated for 15amps.
(seriously though, great video, thanks for helping out Nick)
Rip Nick, you were a inspiration to alot of us
This is why people need to read -_-
Sadly this is also why governments and corporations are taking the ability to read and think critically away from successive generations of children. A society of people who are downloaded information into their ears and eyes that don't think that are basically just program computers with only the latest software that the government corporations want their brains to have and that's very sad
I lived in Egypt for two years. Cool stuff there. I believe this to be true, which leaves with the question: How did they light theses places. I looked and did not see evidence of torches….????
Very shiny polished brass concave mirrors directing sunlight from outside into any hole or tunnel or passageway where further mirrors at the corners can just redirect that light again and so on. After thousands and thousands and thousands of years what I don't think one should expect to see is soot from handheld torches either. We're not talking about lighting by raging infernos. And the possibility exists that the fuel they used for torches , burned on bowls, or candies, may have even been a lantern of some sort a semi refined fuel made from the crude oil of the middle East or other source possibly animal oils which did not produce nearly as much sooty exhaust. But I'm also of the growing opinion the Great pyramid was some sort of power generating device possibly ionospheric or lightning as well, with vinegar acid-based energy storage like batteries in small vessel to large boxes. And we do know they had copper so wiring and all of that related needed for sending electricity was certainly possible. I think we are LED away from these things intentionally because it removes the alien and other more extreme attention drawing, pseudo science and mysterious explanations as it keeps us from really grounding ourselves to the reality of how long humans have been around and how advanced we were a long time ago. Long before the last cataclysm and certainly before the Roman / Anglo empire erase much of world history. Keep in mind pyramid meaning fire in the middle is very logical if this is a power generating device to emulate or imitate volcanoes Mount Fuji for example and send smoke or hot steam through the two passageways up one side and up the other in an exhibition of the power of the gods amongst men or you signify something important for the religious ritual cult which dominated the area. I always think of the Vatican when it sends the smoke signal when a new pope is chosen and of course the Vatican is Rs/ Horus Sun worship as signified by Sunday. But regarding the religious the regeneration of the human spirit is the symbolic aspect of the pyramid now in the mystery schools but it's quite possible that the dead were put in there and basically defibrillated like we would do today to someone who drowned or had a heart attack and so on, and once again resurrected with electricity
Candles, there's even the soot marks to prove it. As for the Pyramid, the center appears to have been used as a crane, building from the bottom up, meaning workers could have painted and fashioned the interior in daylight as the construction was completed
@@uncannyvalley2350
I suggest you look into the Serapeum and ponder how a bunch of bronze age technology was able to carve out such precise multi-ton granite boxes with lids and then got them through tunnels barely wider than the boxes themselves. Deep underground, with no evident light sources, nor the remains of any sledges to pull them.
@@jacksonfurlong3757 wow, that's amazing
Argument from incredulity, also known as argument from personal incredulity, appeal to common sense, or the divine fallacy, is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine.
@@jacksonfurlong3757 Mate, you can carve granite with sand and copper. I've seen people do it. There videos on here of people doing it fgs The ancient egyptians did everything we see, by hand. You don't give them the credit they deserve and it's sad.
Now we know that Egyptians generated generated energy using special gold tips from off of the top of ovulas.
Thanks for trying to keep things going
Carl that was great. Thanks.
Rest In Peace man
I really liked the video and you. Hope to see you on the channel in the future. You have a very nice narrating voice too.
Nice job Carl. Look forward to seeing you again.
Brilliant work mate
Now that Nick's on the other side... he knows the truth. He knows now it's a light bulb.
Solid video. Until today, I thought ancient Egyptians really had light bulbs with the dendera light.
Thanks for clearing this up , u make much more sense than others
Great video
Do more please very interesting and informative, nicely presented and easy to follow, good work I enjoyed this upload thanks for sharing.
I love this info!! I too enjoyed the eccentric notion of a possible light bulb as big as a house; but I have since longed for the truth over the outrageous and I appreciate your video. Also yes I'd like to see this guy do a video again his voice is pleasant.
Please explain what appliances they they charge with Dendera battery
Awesome Carl feagan thank for the video best wishes to Nick
Well done Carl!
This is clearly an electric eel ! So obvious and real, he even has a smile.
Great episode. Thank you. I hope to see a healthy Nick soon.
Well done very well done. I can only add "let the mic drop" Boom!
Thank You!
Great video ☺️
Great video. Could there be more debunking videos?
Enjoyed the presentation. Would be interested in watching more should you choose to make more. 🙂
Love your voice ❤ Cheers for the first of many videos. Kinda disappointing it wasn't a lightbulb. It was fun to imagine.
Great video!
I agree with you 100%. How are you able to read the text? Can you send me link to your source please?
Ha, I wasn't aware this nonsense has returned, I guess we're gonna have to deal with all the parahistorical myths at least once per generation or so
Pretty sure we will always have to deal with it.
This video is a fine lesson in why context matters. It's like misquoting someone; you create a lie when doing so. Anyway, I've always wondered about this light bulb. I knew it couldn't be this large, if it was even real. Now I know the facts. Context and misquoting. Thank you for the lesson
Funny, I always thought that the Day Barge was a reference to the sun, or the vehicle of the Sun God. But either way, how about an explanation for all the art work deep inside tombs and tunnels where bronze mirrors cannot reach and where there is no soot from flame based light sources
That would require them to admit more than a few inconsistencies with their notion of human history itself.
No mainstream archaeologists have the guts to do that.
Didn't you see the film The Mummy? The dispersion of light via mirrors was adequately demonstrated there.
@@gary_rumain_you_peons What works for a movie does not mean tat it works in real life. Scientists have tried that trick with bronze mirrors and te light loss does not allow any usefulness sfter sbout 4-5 reflections
@@Jagdtyger2A And how many times do you reflect light down a long, narrow passageway?
@@gary_rumain_you_peons Even though I live 100% off grid, I have no need to repeat a scientific study. Especially since my college degree involves Physics. Even highly polished bronze mirrors reflect only a fraction of the light that strikes it. This happens at each reflection and there is dispersion loss along each stage. Some of these losses can be mitigated by focusing the reflected beam at each stage, but that is something they never did
There are so many unexplained items all over Egypt that I can feel my impatience building when yet another guy starts talking in an authoritative way about something he can’t prove for beans! Nobody even knows how the pyramids were built, so to hear this guy speak so definitely in his, “I know bc I said so,” voice about the lamp and the baboon with the frog’s face is just silliness! Why not just say that they found a way to harness the bioluminescence of as yet undiscovered enormous fireflies, and that’s how it was done??
Non sequitur
Not knowing exactly how they were built is not the same as not knowing how they were built, we have their own depictions for starters, nor does it magically prove Green Eyed Unicorns built it.
maybe get some real info. it is easy to find.
Thank God Nick is doing better.
It's not a light bulb it's a cloning tank!
ok its Me ....for a last time I will revel full working design for how it works , and here it is :
on a depiction at 1:47 -a statue holding a bulb with a circle above head is battery (might be even a simple chemical reaction battery anyone can do that )
-then you have a connection with a cable like cooper to the left (any blacksmith can do that instead of cooper sword)
-then you have a jed symbol that holds a bulb but it is actually a electric coil just like at many experimental videos you can see it its easy to make)
-then a snake inside a bulb that represents a danger which is electricity but there a no cables inside really why ...next
-there is easy to manufacture fluorescent gas inside of a bulb like neon , xenon or others that shines under electric charge input but next
-bulb illuminates light because of electromagnetical conductivity as a neon bulbs that get affected by coil in modern days or any magnetic influence they change
-light appears because of passing energy through a coil into a left cable from direct conduct made by primitive batteries and it works simple
ps. any NEON bulb works same way and YES it is actually ancient Egypt NEON bulb
Finally a decent explanation.
I hope Nick is better. 🙏
nice one..make more videos sir!
You've done a good job here. How do you think the Egyptians were able to see in the underground dark black areas?
Thank you
dude you have an excellent voice and pace, definitely do more hosted videos.
His tone, experience, and passion are excellent.
Would love for him to be on more and narrate my Audibooks.
the DJED represents stability in the afterlife. the lotus or Seshen, rebirth from the sun. The snake represents Royalty and is a symbol of the funerary god.The arms are the KA or spirit, and the double outline the Ba. I believe the dendera light to be a symbol of kings being reborn after death into gods.
R.i.p my guy
The figures in the carving represent forces of nature as gases and you have filaments and electrical.
Condolences to all concerned on Nick's passing.
I could offer an explanation of this "communication" that would make a plausible; low tech, non-electric, light producing, technology that would be self evident upon explanation.. But can't do it for free!
