The problem is a very weak battery doesn't equal the ability to make a nuclear weapon, even if such a battery was built, which is very uncertain and thousands of years after the alleged use of such bombs

interesting, sure it is and there are more being found as well, but in the case of the bahgdad battery it was a combination of elements that led to the findings that it could generate a small voltage.

No it isnt, a nuclear weapon but it IS telling us that these old societies DID have a greater understanding of "technology" than we previously gave them credit for...

Now listen, this isnt a dig at you personally, but...
With a mindset that assumes that current standards should not be challenged it is no wonder that it took...how many years to advance this simple technology? imagine if more people put in your effort to challenge those paradigms instead of simply accept them.

However based on what we know of that time period....where would they have gotten one and how would they have maintained it, targeted and fired it? lol

But has noted the device as found wouldn't have generated anything

Its telling us that modern men have good imaginations!

With a mindset set that assumes we should ignore what evidence we have and go with made up kewl stuff - just because it sounds good.........

Nice worldview. It turns into whatever reality you care to choose at any moment.
I prefer reality, myself.

Harte

No i didnt ignore it, it was in both the links i provided, what you ignored was the fact that it was documented that there was an iron post protruding from the bitumen (which was commonly uses to create a seal on such jars), similar to what you find on todays car batteries.
It was also shown that such jars with the copper sheeting wrapped around the iron (galvanized) posts created an electrical charge....enough for electroplating as well other applications

read the links, then tear them apart...

Please don't even imagine that I've not read everything available on the subject already.

It takes two posts to draw a current from a battery. The bitumen sealed off the copper from any possibility of contact to complete any circuit. I already said this in different words.

Hard to use a current that doesn't even exist. The design of the jar is evidence that it was not intended or used as a voltage source.

No, your assuming that i am saying "lets go with some idea" just because it sounds good, what i am actually saying is, lets explore all other options/ideas as well, rather than just thinking, "oh, thats good enough"...

there are more....

and it was already scientifically demonstrated that alone they are nothing, but when chained together they DO produce voltage and the more in the chain, the more voltage produced.

Again you appear to be having a conversation with yourself.......

So lets reset the parameters:

Were the Baghdad 'batteries' capable of producing current in the condition they were found? NO

Could with modern manupilation could they be made to produce a weak current? YES

Is this evidence the Sassanids had electrical current? NO

Is this evidence that nobody stumbled on electricity in the past? NO

i already addresed this in a previous post...thanks for paying attention

Is this evidence the Sassanids had electrical current? NO

also NOT evidence that they didnt...

Is this evidence that nobody stumbled on electricity in the past? NO

really......

Evidence isn't a 'perspective', you don't really get to change reality to suit yourself - unless you go into denial

i already addresed this in a previous post...thanks for paying attention

Then why do keep insisting they were 'batteries', it would appear you are not paying attention

Except first you have to break the top open, or you can't "chain them together."
You can't even get an electrical current.

Stupidity in its purest form.

Everything in the entire universe is not evidence that the Sassinids didn't have electricity from batteries, so why should this jar be any different than every single thing in all of the entirety of existence?

"Archaeologist Francis Taylor," also quoted in that article, never existed either.

Again, I've looked. But don't trust me. Find evidence of his existence and I'll eat my words.

Oh hell. I agree with your posts as a whole, but I did find this: Francis Taylor

Now I'll wait for someone to twist your words and mine. Just because I found this doesn't mean I believe in ancient nuclear wars. I don't.

Common name, wrong time period, Harte I believe meant that specific FT mentioned in the newspaper article and not FT through out history! lol

Phew. That's a relief. Just shows that I didn't read the newspaper article
