The Baghdad Battery refers to a set of artifacts discovered in Iraq, dating back to the Parthian or Sassanid period (circa 250 BCE to 224 CE). These artifacts consist of a clay jar, a copper cylinder, and an iron rod, found near Baghdad in the 1930s. Some researchers speculate that these objects could have functioned as a primitive electrochemical cell or battery, potentially used for electroplating, religious rituals, or medicinal purposes.

The jar could hold an acidic liquid (like vinegar or wine) as an electrolyte, with the copper and iron acting as electrodes to generate a small electric current (about 0.5–1 volt).However, there’s no definitive evidence that ancient civilizations understood or used electricity in a systematic way.

The Baghdad Battery’s purpose remains debated—alternative explanations suggest it was a storage vessel for scrolls or liquids, not an electrical device. No other artifacts or texts from the period clearly describe electricity or its applications, unlike later discoveries in the 18th and 19th centuries by scientists like Volta, Faraday, and Tesla.While intriguing, the idea that ancient civilizations discovered electricity lacks conclusive proof.

 The Baghdad Battery may represent an isolated experiment or coincidental setup rather than evidence of advanced electrical knowledge. Modern electricity as we understand it was developed much later, with key milestones in the Enlightenment era.

Some archaeological finds might be evidence of extraterrestrial visitation or influence on early human civilizations. However, most mainstream archaeologists and scientists attribute these artifacts to human ingenuity or natural processes, dismissing alien theories as pseudoscience.

Antikythera Mechanism: A 2nd-century BCE Greek device considered an early “computer” for tracking astronomical cycles, showcasing advanced craftsmanship.

Nazca Lines: Large geoglyphs in Peru, created between 500 BCE and 500 CE, sometimes linked to alien guidance, but likely made for ceremonial purposes.

Sacsayhuamán: A Peruvian fortress with massive, precisely cut stones, attributed to Inca engineering rather than alien help.

While these artifacts are impressive, no credible evidence supports an extraterrestrial origin. Alternative explanations—such as advanced human technology, trade, or natural phenomena—align with established historical and scientific understanding.
