VenomFangX Re: Israelite knowledge of electricity
I think that early Egyptians may have known something about basic electricity and that the Israelites picked up this knowledge from them. Wasn't the urim & thummim supposed to have transmitted God's messages to the Levite priests?
The "ark of the covenant" seems to resemble a crude battery as well. The gold covering would certainly have been an excellent conductor for electricity.
In my opinion, the events performed with these items were nothing more than "smoke & mirrors"; kind of like the magical acts performed by David Copperfield.
