editFeel free to add images to future dates, or place your suggestions below. If the queue is too long for your liking, just push an earlier article to the end or rearrange as you see fit. I suggest we try for variation in time period and subject matter for consecutive weeks.--ragesoss 03:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Ancient Egyptian "Light Bulb" is compressed air machine
editI'm new to posting in this environment, but I have substantially relevant, possibly irrefutable observations about the images that are being sold to the public as alien inspired light bulbs and the incredibly ingenious efficiency this could lead to in our own power production.
If I am correct, the gigantic vessels are compressed air tanks, that gain WEIGHT as overall pressure to whatever load is being worked increases, thus allowing more work to be accomplishes with each push on the BELLOWS (not electrical insulators. This device would explain EXACTLY how the pyramids were built.. they uses the tasseled carpets tied together in layers and kept them wet to build AIR BAGS and used these specialized compressor devices to inflate and move the heavy stones, and then probably used the escaping air to run other functions!
Back to the image, LOOK at the positions and sizes of the people doing the work, each has a specific function, some of them as CHECK VALVES on the air tubes that were also likely rolled up carpets (the long thin ones with only tassels on the ends)in layers and moistened to be airtight, particularly under air pressure (The fluffy fibers faced inward).
It will be interesting to see what happens to my post here, as this ought to be a severe 'game changer' on so many different fronts and levels...
