The only one that got my intrest was the battery.
“The only one that got my intrest was the battery.”
That was 2,200 years ago in the Middle East. Keep up with the times, please!
what are you talking about? what was 2200 years ago....

The creator of that “2200” comment can certainly speak for himself, but I’d guess he made a typo and meant “220” instead and was referring to the creation of the battery. Most sources credit the creation of the battery to about 1800 by an Italian. So 2022- about 1800 = about 220 years.
What the “mid-east” reference was about is beyond me. If there had been a battery created around AD 0 in the mid-east, it would certainly have changed the world, and the future of the nation possessing batteries. (Unless he’s referring to Jesus Christ, in a figurative fashion, in a “battery that powers the world” kind of way, in which case he’s correct, from a certain point of view).
This battery shown in the video is just a large portable one capable of powering house-hold items for a short time, serving as sort of a hurricane/snowstorm/disaster-setting electricity-generator without the noise and hydrocarbon fuel use of an actual generator, that is, a larger version of an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) many of us already have attached to our PC’s. So, yeah, not really a ground-breaking piece of technology, more like just a larger portable version of an extra flashlight battery. Convenient, but pricey, and needs to be recharged, of course, from conventional or other electricity sources.
So the response came in while I was typing mine, so I was wrong in my guess.
But really, any battery created by Baghdad Bob certainly didn’t get used by that very advanced civilization, amiright?
What an utterly vapid headline.
I’m only as good as my source...Wikipedia says 1800 years ago, although others say 2200 years ago.
