The greatest Iran’s Mysteries: Phartia’s Battery

Insufficient data , i think...

A battery to operate needs 2 poles .. negative and positive...If the iron rod is one pole , then where is the other ? I fail to see it on the sketch..

World War II prevented immediate follow-up on the jars, but after hostilities ceased, an American, Willard F. M. Gray of the General Electric High Voltage Laboratory in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, built some reproductions. When filled with an electrolyte like grape juice, the devices produced about two volts.

Do you Need More iskenderani????????

Agreed ...In the second diagram that Aryan produces , it shows exactly that the copper cylinder is the second pole...In the first diagram though the asphalt used as an insulator does not show any protruding copper end. This is why i said ...insufficient data..the diagram was not correct..

In any way there is no dissagreement about the function of the device..which is known very well .Eric von Deniken wrote about it in his books long ago.

how much hate in you guys?

i didnt say that it was Arabic!!

and rhazes mind your language.

the below is from this site http://www.world-mysteries.com/sar_11.htm

The ancient battery in the Baghdad Museum, as well as those others which were unearthed in Iraq, are all dated from the Parthian occupation between 248 BCE and 226 CE. However, Dr. Konig also found copper vases plated with silver in the Baghdad Museum, excavated from Sumerian sites in southern Iraq, dating back to at least 2500 BCE. When the vases were lightly tapped, a blue patina or film separated from the surface, which is characteristic of silver electroplated onto copper base. It would appear then that the Parthians inherited their batteries from one of the earliest known civilizations.

i said guys not IRANIANS ,

guys could meant Two people too. and that what i meant.

about Parthian, i think they were iranians and the topic was talking about Parthian as Iranians.

so i dont think that would made any difference.

the source u provided is saying

as far as i understood this article is saying that Sumer , Babylonia and Assyria are Iranians?

and the rest he is talking about Elam which is not Sumer!!

Sumer

site of the earliest known civilization, located in the southernmost part of Mesopotamia between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers, in the area that later became Babylonia and is now southern Iraq from aroundBaghdad to the Persian Gulf.

Sumer was first settled between 4500 and 4000 BC by a non-Semitic people who did not speak the Sumerian language. These people now are called proto-Euphrateans or Ubaidians, for the village Al-Ubaid, where their remains were first discovered. The Ubaidians were the first civilizing force in Sumer, draining the marshes for agriculture, developing trade, and establishing industries, including weaving, leatherwork, metalwork, masonry, and pottery. After the Ubaidian immigration to Mesopotamia, various Semitic peoples infiltrated their territory, adding their cultures to the Ubaidian culture, and creating a high pre-Sumerian civilization.

The people called Sumerians, whose language became the prevailing language of the territory, probably came from around Anatolia, arrivingin Sumer about 3300 BC. By the 3rd millennium BC the country was the site of at least 12 separate city-states: Kish, Erech, Ur, Sippar, Akshak, Larak, Nippur, Adab, Umma, Lagash, Bad-tibira, and Larsa. Each of thesestates comprised a walled city and its surrounding villages and land, and each worshiped its own deity, whose temple was the central structure of the city. Political power originally belonged to the citizens, but, as rivalry between the various city-states increased, each adoptedthe institution of kingship. An extant document, The Sumerian King List, records that eight kings reigned before the great Flood.

After the Flood, various city-states and their dynasties of kings temporarily gained power over the others. The first king to unite the separate city-states was Etana, ruler of Kish (c. 2800 BC). Thereafter, Kish, Erech, Ur, and Lagash vied for ascendancy for hundreds of years, rendering Sumer vulnerable to external conquerors, first the Elamites (c. 2530�2450 BC) and later the Akkadians, led by their king Sargon (reigned 2334�2279 BC). Although Sargon's dynasty lasted only about 100 years, it united the city-states and created a model of government that influenced all of Middle Eastern civilization.

and about the Sumerian language

this is from Encarta

this from Encarata.

Sumerian Language, language of the peoples of the ancient kingdom of Sumer in Mesopotamia. Its vocabulary, grammar, and syntax do not appear to be related to those of any other known language.

The oldest language preserved in writing, Sumerian was written in cuneiform script. Its earliest records date from about 3000 bc in southern Mesopotamia; after about 2000 bc it was no longer spoken, having been replaced by Akkadian or Assyro-Babylonian, but it continued in use as a literary language until cuneiform writing died out (c. 1st century bc). There are four recognized periods of Sumerian: Archaic Sumerian (3100-2500 bc); Old or Classical Sumerian (2500-2300 bc); New Sumerian (2300-2000 bc); and Post-Sumerian. The existence of the language�and of the Sumerian culture�was subsequently forgotten until cuneiform was deciphered in the 19th century, revealing an unexpected language among the expected ones.

Sumerian is an agglutinative language, rather than an inflected one, such as one of the Indo-European or Semitic languages. Generally speaking, the root words are not subject to inflective change. The basic grammatical units consist of word complexes rather than individual words, and these grammatical units usually retain their independent structures. The grammatical structure of Sumerian resembles that of other agglutinative languages, such as Turkish, Hungarian, and some Caucasian languages.
