Thanks for the replies, all.

The lightbulb is far more interesting, but it actually kinda looks like a cobra-like snake...

It's not a light bulb. The Egyptians never had any of those things. Frank Doernenberg has a good site on this. See [url=http://www.ramtops.demon.co.uk/]Doug Weller's Cult Archaeology site for links to Frank's site and more.

Vork is right, what to us looks like a light bulb, is I believe a Holy Egyptian Lotus Flower.
Even cult Egyptologist Hancock agrees it is a lotus flower, last I read anyway.

On the other hand I saw on TV two guys who built a big light bulb matching the one in the picture and it did work.

There is another drawing at Denderah that looks like an Apachee Helicopter!
