	The UnMuseum - Bagdad Battery
		It is unclear if Konig dug the object up himself or located it within the holdings of the museum, but it is known that it was found, with several others, at a place called Khujut Rabu, just outside Baghdad.
		Khujut Rabu was a settlement of a people called the Parthians.
		While the Parthians were excellent fighters, they had not been noted for their technological achievements and some reseachers have suggested they obtained the batteries from someone else.

		The author of Historical Evidence for Unicorns and Astronomical Revelations or 666, now brings us a heavily illustrated book that presents a considerable amount of documentation to suggest that ancient mankind had long ago harnessed the power of electricity.
		While many of our readers may have already heard of the fairly well publicized Baghdad Battery, a 2000 year old earthenware vase actually found just outside of Bagdad, at Khujut Rabu, in 1936, author Larry Brian Radka, a retired Broadcast engineer, has much more evidence to offer.

	Questions and Answers
		Or the lamp was never lit but simply ignited on its own as the air entered the tomb when it was broken into.
		Or the lamps were powered by the kind of unrefined early vase batteries found at Khujut Rabu, near Baghdad, made of copper, silver and iron (although these crude contrivances would not sustain light for such a long period of time).
		The history texts confirm that reputable explorers did see and inspect these lamps (and there are very few tombs left for modern science to ever hope to stumble onto that still bear such phosphorescent phenomena) and so we have to rely on some of those dated treatises.
