The light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison in 1879, according to conventional history. But is it possible that the electric light is actually thousands of years older?
In the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, Egypt, there is a stone carving that looks amazingly similar to a light bulb. Electrical engineer Alfred Bielek described it as looking like a projector with a bundle of multi-purpose conductors.
The temple dates back to the late Ptolemaic period, of about 55 BC.
Is it outlandish to consider that ancient Egyptians might have had electric lights? David Hatcher Childress, of Ancient Aliens TV fame, said there is more evidence to support the theory. He noted that, although many Egyptian tombs and underground passages are decorated with ornate paintings, there is no evidence of soot or smoke from burning torches to be found. And most passageways are too deep, with twisting turns, to have been illuminated with mirrors reflecting sunlight inside.
Mainstream Egyptologists offer a more spiritual interpretation of the Hathor hieroglyphic. They say it is a stylized lotus flower with a snake emerging from it, representing the creation of the sun god from the womb of the sky goddess, Nut.

Whatever these ancient stone carvings may mean, you have the opportunity to get up close and personal with them. There is a spiritual tour group now being formed that will visit Dendera and dozens more amazing places in Egypt this Fall.
The 10-day tour will be co-hosted by two Bay Area teachers, Nancy Auspelmeyer and Ling Chen. Nancy is an author, astrologer and life-journey guide, and Ling is an alternative healing and energy wellness practitioner. Together they lead sacred journeys and retreats around the globe.
Here are some of the unique experiences this Egypt tour can give you:
- Feel the timeless energy of the King’s Chamber during a private entry in the Great Pyramid
- Cruise the Nile on a deluxe, five-star boat
- Connect with the Sacred Geometry of the Flower of Life at Abydos
- Be dazzled by Tutankhamon’s golden treasures at the Egyptian Museum
- Learn about the symbolism at the heart of Egyptian philosophy
- Ride in a horse-drawn carriage in Edfu
- Get a private entrance to the Interior of the Sphinx
Maybe the best part of the tour is that you will be sharing the experiences with other travelers who have interests similar to yours.

The Great Pyramid or Stonehenge: Which is Older?
Amazingly, these two iconic monuments were built pretty much during the same time period. Archaeologists put the construction of the Great Pyramid just a few years later than Stonehenge, with the Salisbury Plain project starting around 3000 BC and the one at Giza about 2550 BC.
Perhaps even more significant is that both of them are aligned on the same great circle that also includes Easter Island, Nazca and Ollantaytambo!
Regardless of when Stonehenge was built, there is no questioning its timelessness. And that is why this assembly of Welsh Bluestones and English sarsens forms the heart of any spiritual journey to the United Kingdom.
You’re Invited To Visit Stonehenge This September
Our group will be rising before dawn so they can join a Druid ceremony inside Stonehenge at sunrise. But as awesome as Stonehenge may be, it is dwarfed by the great stone circle at Avebury. It has been said that comparing Stonehenge to Avebury is like comparing a country church to a cathedral.
If you want to experience them both, then please consider our “Merlin’s Britain” tour, happening August 24 through September 2, 2021. Other highlights of the 10-day itinerary include Glastonbury, King Arthur’s castle, and a museum of witchcraft and magick.
This is a very small group program that traditionally sells out fast, so it is highly recommended to book your space as soon as possible. See the complete itinerary at THIS LINK.
