    OK, that’s not as nuts as some of these. So what are the artifacts?

      Sorry… you think believing the Ancient Egyptians had electricity because those things look kind of like electrical insulators isn’t nuts? Because I have news for you- two things can look alike and be totally different things.

      This, for example, is not a petrified screw. It’s a crinoid. A once-living sea creature.

      I don’t know what those Egyptian things are, but it is definitely nuts to assume they’re electrical insulators just because they resemble them.
