ADNAN OKTAR: It is clearly seen from pictures and writings that electricity was used in the time of the Prophet Solomon(pbuh) and even in ancient Egypt. They think "how they could produce electricity in that era," and so. Well, electricity, first of all the electricity they produced was battery electricity. This is the easiest thing. We used to do in elementary school. Acid and base is required. Acid; so many substances are acid and so many substances are base. Zinc will be used, right? Carbon is used, meaning coal dust is used; so there are primitive methods of producing a battery that can be supplied very easily. If they may excuse, they may have made it in that period, as well. The art work done in that period, ornaments made of gold or other noble metals with the use of technology in that period, are very difficult to do even today. For example, they still could not understand the construction technique of the pyramids, it can't be explained. So there is something extraordinary. How could a steamboat be made? They still think that it will be like the steamboats of today; it can happen easily with a more simple technology. Only by the use of the pressure of it's steam on water, I mean if only you give steam on the water,even that would be something that could lead to a reaction. Right? For example, if you make a big boiler and if it passes through a narrow pipe and if the steam is squirted with pressure into the water, even that can move the ship on dead water easily, or a boat. There can be many techniques, if you think about it. They think as if it has to look like a classic car engine or if electricity is concerned, they think it has to be with the known methods. For once, it is possible to do this with very primitive techniques, and it's possible to do it even today, but there are also many techniques not known commonly, they find them in time.
PRESENTER: And they develop it later on, and it develops in time.
ADNAN OKTAR: We can explain it with drawings sometime, as they may not be able to picture it, we can put it on internet for them to look. Insha'Allah.
