Also, I remain unconvinced The West was the first civilization to realize that an electrical conductor cutting through a magnetic field generates electric current. It’s too simple. Somebody else must’ve figured it out.

some #inventions are so damn simple that if they were truly discovered in ancient times they would have never been lost

@kuteboicoder With useful electric current, it’s a pretty elementary level of basic understanding - but also a rather sophisticated degree of metallurgy to make machine-culture practical.

Batteries, on the other hand, are much more forgiving; some people dispute Baghdad Batteries actually were - but I don’t. I think they were used for electroplating.

Baghdad batteries is a myth. Ancestry cultures had no better than capturing a lighting bug for use as a torch

@NotoriousDOG @KingOfWhiteAmerica @kuteboicoder I was disappointed to learn the baghdad batteries probably just aren't real
