The Djed pillar, frequently shown in Egyptian drawings, may symbolize a kind of electrical
apparatus. The column may have served as a generator, thus providing lighting.

invented the tungsten filament electric light bulb—found that the Egyptians
knew a method of plating antimony on copper over 4,300 years ago. This was
a method by which the same results accomplished today by electroplating
were achieved. 59
Scientists have experimented with the system depicted in the reliefs to
determine whether it could have emitted light. The Austrian electrical engi-
neer Walter Garn studied the reliefs in great detail, and reproduced the Djed
pillar insulator, bulb and twisting wire. The model he built did indeed work
and emit light. 60
One piece of evidence that Ancient Egyptians may have used electricity
is the absence of any traces of soot on the interior walls of their tombs and
pyramids. If—as evolutionist archaeologists maintain—they used burning
torches and oil lamps for lighting, then traces of soot would inevitably have
been left behind. Yet there are no such traces anywhere, not even in the very
deepest chambers. It would have been impossible for construction to con-
tinue without the necessary lighting being provided nor, even more impor-
tantly, for the magnificent murals to have been painted on the walls. This
strengthens the possibility that electricity was, indeed, used in Ancient Egypt.
