To be more on topic IMHO I think we have had a lot more than eletricity before "now times"
I believe we as a race have historical amnesia "lost chapters"
If my theory is correct "got to use graphic scale for ie"
We need to take a 5 mile square of land in oh say 50 different places and due 5 mile deep archeological digs into the earth and we may start to SEE some things..

The Baghdad Battery is VERY interesting, but not strong evidence of ancient electronics, imo.

Interesting. Why not?
The battery proves they knew of the existance of electricity. I see no reason why they wouldn't have experimented on the larger scale once they had this knowledge.

Absolutely, I mean even Rome at its peak was probably comparable to Western civilization in the late 19th century.
