section of crafted animal bone. Such an operation would have been incredibly complex and
would also have undoubtedly involved brain surgery and yet the growth of the bone over the
wound again shows that this patient of prehistoric times was then able to live on for many years
afterwards.
A Petrified Human Skull
Another completely baffling artifact was unearthed in the form of a petrified human cranium
with the eye sockets broken that was found along with other human bones and soft organs in
Pennsylvania and again in an Anthracite vein (fig.34). According to official geological estimates,
the structures of Anthracite are a minimum of 300 million years old which means that this man
existed on earth in the Carboniferous period or possibly even earlier.
Fig.34Ancient Electricity
There is compelling evidence of an ancient electrical supply that was used as much as we use
the electric current today. On a low voltage scale: several clay pots have been excavated in Iraq
that appeared to have been soldered with a lead/tin alloy, topped with copper discs and sealed
with bitumen (fig.35). The device is in fact, basically a laden jar; when a mixture of copper
sulphate and acetic acid (citrus juice or vinegar) was added to these excavated pots they produced
around 2 volts of electricity. Over the years many more of these electric cells have been
discovered in other places throughout the Old Persian Empire and also in Egypt indicating that
the use of them was widely and quite commonly practiced. Electroplating is a technique that was
previously thought to be only recently discovered however such small voltage is perfect for
electroplating objects and may help to explain the discovery of pieces of electroplated gold
jewelry found at sites in Egypt.
On the higher voltage scale: Scholars have often wondered how such intricate paintings were
done in many Egyptian tombs and yet there are no signs of soot on the ceilings of any of them.
Soot would indicate the use of a candle, lamp or some kind of flame to provide light for the artist.
Many have surmised that a series of linking mirrors may have been used to bring in light from the
