Andy begins with a focus on the tools being used by the characters in certain hieroglyphs such as the Was Scepter, the Djed, the Ankh, the Crook, and the Flail.
Common attire of the headgear and collar are protruding antennas, usually in the form of cobras at the forehead. Frequently shown is how the crook is held to the neck and the act of touching each other depicts electric currents using their hands, objects, and tools.
Did the headgear and neckwear concentrate charge, and shape an electric field around the head—like St. Elmo’s fire or a Jacob’s Ladder—creating a circuit to experience electric fields, frequencies and currents?
Author Andrew Hall provides an engineer’s perspective at evidence that’s been overlooked on how electricity might have been used in ancient Egyptian technology, construction, and in their spiritual beliefs and practices.
