No, they, that is, some other much less ancient dudes from some village near what would 900 years later become Baghdad, who were either Parthian or Sassanian, allegedly used, and only perhaps invented, despite having no knowledge of electrical theory, crude batteries, or rather, crude galvanic cells, to, again allegedly, electro-plate stuff with them, millennia after the Egyptian landing-pad-for-alien-spacecraft^Z pyramid building and Goa'uld^Z sun-God worshipping phase was in full swing, and certainly the Egyptians themselves never could have, or would have, used the artifacts in that capacity, since iron, of which the central component of those cells was made, was not yet reproducable with the metallurgic techniques of 2500BC, when the last of the Giza pyramids was completed, and there were alternative, and better, methods of lighting their construction sites available, such as copper mirrors reflecting the sunlight into them. (That was totally the longest sentence ever.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
