The so-called “Baghdad battery” is believed to be from the Sassanian Era, roughly 224 - 651 AD. The jar was found in Khujut Rabu just outside Baghdad and is composed of a clay jar with a stopper made of asphalt. Sticking through the asphalt is an iron rod surrounded by a copper cylinder. The so-called “Baghdad battery” is not really a battery at all. We know this because it bears a very close resemblance to objects with an identifiable purpose found by a team of archaeologists from the University of Michigan in 1930 at the site of Seleukia, not far from Baghdad. The objects found at Seleukia look almost just like the so-called “Baghdad battery,” but we know they were, in fact, used to hold papyrus scrolls because they all contained remnants of papyrus scrolls when they were excavated. The scroll-holders from Seleukia consist of a metal rod that the scroll could be wrapped around and a tube inside a ceramic pot that the scroll to be slid inside for protection. Most likely, the so-called “Baghdad battery” is just a scroll container. The scroll was meant to be wrapped around the iron rod, slid inside the copper tube, and then slipped inside the ceramic container, which could then be sealed to protect the scroll inside. The acidic residue on the inside of the container most likely comes from the papyrus or parchment of the scroll that the pot once contained, since papyrus and parchment are both slightly acidic. Eventually, the scroll decomposed, leaving the acidic residue behind.
Despite being the truth, it actually sounds even crazier than some ancient guy constructing a useless battery as a proof of concept. I mean, that's one convoluted way to store scrolls.
@@elvancor It doesn't sound too different from regular 2 spindle scrolls (Like the ones used in Torahs). It's also lighter because you don't have 2 spindles and was less exposed to the elements.

Should have gone across the hall to the chemistry teachers for this one. ... If you did and still didn't get an answer, your school just had crap teachers.
Yeah, they understood not to use good batteries because if they accidentally left one we'd know centuries later what it was. Pretty smart ancient aliens.
Instead of a battery, they could be hand held fire extinguishers. The jar could be filled with Natron (carbonate soda) and vinegar in the cylinder. They could be kept for months ready to be used. Just push the plunger to allow the soda and vinegar to mix, shake well, and toss at the fire. The resulting Co2 gas would put a fire out.
It’s good to point out copper tubes were used in abrasive cutting of holes in various materials. Maybe cutting holes in clay pots to store vinegar in, if there is any relation to the artifacts at all
"See, the battery actually is useful" said the guy arranging a room full of oversized heavily modified versions in series and using them to barely light a single LED.
Also, there is no evidence of anything being electroplated, no evidence of ancient lightbulbs, no thin copper or tin wires. What good is a battery if you don't have wires? Now, if they could produce high voltage, like +1000 V, ancient people could torture criminals. That would be useful.
@@louistournas120 My theory about this Bagdad batteries is that they were just pumps to pump the liquid out of the container similar to liquid soap containers.
Plus the energy available would quickly dissipate. These cells would have a very low capacity, because there's no guarantee that the ancient inventors had purified metals, nor ultra strong acids.

Okay, this was a solid take on the Baghdad battery i've not seen before. Also, your argument that perhaps the metals were placed in the wine to add flavor or healing properties....is not crazy. Copper, at the time, was known as "fire metal" and had symbolic importance.
What is your source to claim that copper was known as "fire metal" at that time and in that region? And how exactly would that add flavor or "healing properties" in wine or vinegar? That makes no sense at all.
The electronics teacher we all would have loved to have. Absolutly brilliant. But I got to admit, seeing an episode with him not electrocuting himself was kind of "shocking".
I remember on MythBusters that they found out the battery could be used for electroplating. They then noted that the artifact in the form they were found was actually missing the terminal and couldn't work if it was in the form it was found. They then speculated the terminals were lost before the battery got buried and preserved. I'm quite sure that's not how it works, but to be fair to them, they specialized in special effects, engineering, and science, not archeology.

Tehei Mauri ora 😜
Mehdi, please notice me! Lol, I spent far too much time on this. Here's some more information regarding the "Baghdad Battery" that many seem to leave out when diving into their Tin Foil Hat Theories: • As Mehdi said, there's no Terminals. The iron rod protruded from the top, yes, but not any portion of the Copper - nor were there any wires even though the peoples of that time used Wire made from various metals for Jewelry. No Wires = No Parallel Connection. No Terminals = No Detectable Electrical Current/Output. • The bottom of the Copper Cylinder was sealed with a Copper Disk coated with Asphalt (same as what was used on the top). This fact, along with the Asphalt sealed top makes an impractical arrangement if one needed to refill the "electrolyte solution" - which would need to be done routinely. • In Konigs Publishings he describes similar clay jars that had been found during Museum excavations at Tel Omar, near the ancient city of Seleucia. Several clay jars of similar size were found containing hollow copper cylinders, and Archaelogists found remnants of Plant Fibers inside - most likely Papyrus...which could also explain the Acidic residue found within. Interestingly, there were no iron rods found with them, but they *were* found next to a piece of bronze rod and three pieces of iron wire (and not particularly lengthy). One clay jar contained a small flask made of glass, with no metal. Curious. • Around this time period Copper Tubes as well as Flasks were used as protective coverings for Papyrus Scrolls, specifically when necessary for Transport. Do you see where I'm going with this? My theory (and the theory of many other experts far more qualified than myself - as I am a mere undergraduate student at the moment) proposes that this Vessel was used as either a discreet means of record keeping, or a way that the Ancient Peoples hoped would preserve their seemingly highly valued Documents for much longer than they had (one of those time will tell scenarios). Could even have been the first form of enveloping a Document meant for a courier to move long distances. I also have a more fringe idea, wherein the vessel *would* be filled with an acidic solution, although its permanence is a matter of speculation...I don't know how long any liquid would last or stay a liquid within a Clay Vessel. Does anyone remember the Cryptex Puzzle from the Film "The Da Vinci Code"? While entirely implausible as they portrayed it (Vinegar does not dissolve Papyrus or Parchment), it *could* in theory remove/dissolve the Ink which was used on the Parchment/Papyrus itself. Though still improbable for many reasons - A.) the tubes were sealed, B.) You could likely smash it apart without Vinegar or some other solution ever coming in contact with the Scroll, and C.) Because...why would you do this? A Glass Flask could work for this scenario, but again, seemingly improbable. It's the only idea I could come up with that would explain the Acidic Residue - *if* it wasn't from the decomposition of the Papyrus Scroll.
There's a difference between making something and inventing something, even tho they made a rudimentary battery, there's no evidence that they did it because they knew it was what we consider today to be a battery, but having said that, today it would be a case for a nobel prize of science, the guys that won the nobel prize for discovering micro waves (not the machine but the electromagnetic waves) didn't knew what they were experiencing, just that something funny happened to their food when next to some antennas they were working.
It makes all sense tho. People created even primitive vacciness 400 years before we even knew what viruses are. In China they fought smallpox by drying infected animal skin and then powdering it into "medicine" They had no idea how it worked, but it did help reduce infection rates with some degree. Its same with this battery.

Mehdi, please notice me! Lol, I spent far too much time on this.
Here's some more information regarding the "Baghdad Battery" that many seem to leave out when diving into their Tin Foil Hat Theories:
• As Mehdi said, there's no Terminals. The iron rod protruded from the top, yes, but not any portion of the Copper - nor were there any wires even though the peoples of that time used Wire made from various metals for Jewelry. No Wires = No Parallel Connection. No Terminals = No Detectable Electrical Current/Output.
• The bottom of the Copper Cylinder was sealed with a Copper Disk coated with Asphalt (same as what was used on the top). This fact, along with the Asphalt sealed top makes an impractical arrangement if one needed to refill the "electrolyte solution" - which would need to be done routinely.
• In Konigs Publishings he describes similar clay jars that had been found during Museum excavations at Tel Omar, near the ancient city of Seleucia. Several clay jars of similar size were found containing hollow copper cylinders, and Archaelogists found remnants of Plant Fibers inside - most likely Papyrus...which could also explain the Acidic residue found within. Interestingly, there were no iron rods found with them, but they *were* found next to a piece of bronze rod and three pieces of iron wire (and not particularly lengthy). One clay jar contained a small flask made of glass, with no metal. Curious.
• Around this time period Copper Tubes as well as Flasks were used as protective coverings for Papyrus Scrolls, specifically when necessary for Transport. Do you see where I'm going with this?
My theory (and the theory of many other experts far more qualified than myself - as I am a mere undergraduate student at the moment) proposes that this Vessel was used as either a discreet means of record keeping, or a way that the Ancient Peoples hoped would preserve their seemingly highly valued Documents for much longer than they had (one of those time will tell scenarios). Could even have been the first form of enveloping a Document meant for a courier to move long distances.
I also have a more fringe idea, wherein the vessel *would* be filled with an acidic solution, although its permanence is a matter of speculation...I don't know how long any liquid would last or stay a liquid within a Clay Vessel.
Does anyone remember the Cryptex Puzzle from the Film "The Da Vinci Code"? While entirely implausible as they portrayed it (Vinegar does not dissolve Papyrus or Parchment), it *could* in theory remove/dissolve the Ink which was used on the Parchment/Papyrus itself. Though still improbable for many reasons - A.) the tubes were sealed, B.) You could likely smash it apart without Vinegar or some other solution ever coming in contact with the Scroll, and C.) Because...why would you do this? A Glass Flask could work for this scenario, but again, seemingly improbable. It's the only idea I could come up with that would explain the Acidic Residue - *if* it wasn't from the decomposition of the Papyrus Scroll.
great! he uploaded again!
3:13 was good tho
I lost my shit at 3:08 to 3:13 omg that transition was awesome 😂😂😂
I actually have fun learning from you! Keep it up!
My electrical knowledge from book reading hobby paid off!
8:30 "The may have made a battery but they didn't invent the battery ."Golden Words👍👍👍
There's a difference between making something and inventing something, even tho they made a rudimentary battery, there's no evidence that they did it because they knew it was what we consider today to be a battery, but having said that, today it would be a case for a nobel prize of science, the guys that won the nobel prize for discovering micro waves (not the machine but the electromagnetic waves) didn't knew what they were experiencing, just that something funny happened to their food when next to some antennas they were working.
Mansoor Khan shut up
@@yousifa4002 No u
What do you think about mythbusters episode about this where they said they could have used it for meditation?
You mean mehditation? 😏
Shotty Steve damm I was suprised to see you in a comment section, I was a fan of u, wish you kept making vids
Yo steve wut u doin here
MA KE *VIDEO*
I sometimes use a similar device for meditation as described by Edgar Cayce.
If Baghdad battery is a battery then my orange juice filled cup is a battery
Just brilliant, no messing about, straight to the point and hilarious with it
3:14 You all thinking what i'm thinking?
That's right. Science stuff.
That cut tho
me: nope
nobody: :)
5:00 if my teachers would have explained me like this then I could have never missed my class😂😂😂
“Skill share where skilled and experienced people share their BIG BRAIN KNOWLEDGE”
AHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 -- @ 3:13 -- that transition!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Tastes like BALLS!" I died man! I freaking died. Thanks for killing me today!
I'll stick with beer. ;)
Sorry, didn't mean to take your life like this...
Look up Paltrow vs Dwane Johnson
"Anyone want an extra electron??"
"YEAH"
"Are you... positive??"
Delete this
Very good
LOL!
Classic science joke, still got love for this oldie yet goodie... ;-)
Where was this man when I was in high school!! I would have LOVED to have him as my science teacher!
"They may have made a battery but they didnt invent the battery" thats an amazing quote mehdi lmao
It makes all sense tho.
People created even primitive vacciness 400 years before we even knew what viruses are.
In China they fought smallpox by drying infected animal skin and then powdering it into "medicine"
They had no idea how it worked, but it did help reduce infection rates with some degree.
Its same with this battery.
"Who wants an electron?"
"Me Me"
BUM. Ion disappears.
That's already the second time I burst into laughter on this video. Right after the PVC pipe action.
@@ReyMysterioX Perfectly timed lol
Looks like Mehdi's been taking some editing courses, the camera/text is a funny touch
On SKILL SHARE!!
