concerning the relationship between man and Heaven. But why should an ancient master-potter make a perfect cylinder with a round opening in the middle for the available graphite material, if he needed this graphite in the form of dust to brush onto pot surfaces as beautiful geometric figures so as to obtain the contrast between the red background of the pottery and the metallic reflections of the graphite? Is it possible that man knew about elec- tricity 7,000 years ago? And if he knew it, how did he obtain that knowledge? Who taught him? I asked myriad ques- tions and they remained hanging in the air, without a reply. I conducted laboratory studies and found that the cylinder's surface resistance was 300 ohms, while inside the opening it was 3-5 ohms. That meant that the graphite surface was mixed with some insulator. Therefore we can suppose that the graphite cylinder was an element of some device or an appliance for the pro- duction of electricity or some other sort of more powerful energy. on a gold axis 6 mm in diameter, several elements of this kind were strung in such a way as to obtain greater power from the energy. On the surface of each cylinder was coiled a gold thread of | mm in diam- eter and an approximate length of 1.30 m for each row of coils on a cylinder. I assume that several elements were arranged one over another, because the traces of the coils at both ends of the cylinder are somewhat slanted with refer- ence to the axes, and this suggests a tran- sition to an adjacent cylinder. So how many were there? What was the energy's force and power in order to leave traces? In how many lines were the laps arranged in order to render the appliance efficient? These are important questions. Continuing this train of thought, I can- not help ask by what knowledge, engi- neering and technology had ancient man, with his primitive tools, achieved such perfection and precision in processing gold. Such skills and possibilities are challenges even today, despite the 7,000 years of evolution! The next studies and analyses I hope will give a clearer reply to the questions posed. oo (Source: Email from Stiliyan Yanchev, 30 July 2004, stilcoliny@ yahoo.com) Results of laboratory tests For hours on end, I carefully considered and studied the find. I did not believe my eyes, but the material presence of the graphite cylinder sobered me. What is it? An element of an ancient battery? An accumulator? An electrode? Or some- thing more terrifying, which I dared not think about? 62 = NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com OCTOBER — NOVEMBER 2004
