Building Toroidal Field Depiction from 1685

To add to the series above, here's a depiction that gets thrown around a lot. From the Palace of Versailles, 1664 apparently. Weird way to draw fireworks.

And we have saved the best for last: A painting of Nuremburg Germany, 1650. Supposed to be a firework display.

There are definitely fireworks going off but there is a painfully obvious electrical equivalent. To interpret this depiction in any other manner would be ridiculous. The men below are literally playing with electrified swords, which are also in the shape of lightning bolts.

This is the oldest illustration on our list. It was over 200 years before electricity became commonplace in our homes, and over 100 years before Ben Franklin's so-called "kite experiment".

Here are a few more illustrations with questionable "fireworks". The fountain illustration is of the Palace of Versailles with what appears to be underwater lighting.

The second depiction has a date 1769 but the date along with the other words drawn on this illustration appear to be lazy alterations by another person well after. The symbols aren't even centered.

Sometimes, all it takes to rewrite history is to write in a date yourself. The second depiction could be 2,000 years old. Or 200 years old.

Let's take a look at something even more insane. This is from France in 1782. Here we see a display of advanced lighting that is far more exquisite than what is written in our history books.

The pillars can only be electrical. To say it was gas powered would be an insult. Not to mention, those fireworks don't look like any kind of fireworks I've ever seen.

And let's not forget the elephant in the room. This "firework show" contains blatantly obvious streams of electricity. It even hits some of the people on a rooftop (I think they're ok). This is nothing that we have ever seen in today's technology.

6/8

This one is from France in 1682. According to the mainstream timeline, this depiction was long before the use of both electrical and gas powered lighting. The only explanation the mainstream could give is either it is candle powered (terribly unreasonable) or it is just dreamt up in somebody's imagination and it happens to look exactly like electrical lighting. (Notice the horizontal beams on the upper deck)

5/8

Here we have something extreme. The first is from London in 1852 and the second is from France in 1790.

If you are brainwashed enough to say they are gas powered, the one from 1852 is technically possible according to the mainstream timeline. But the one from 1790 is way too early. To put this in perspective, William Murdoch, one of the first to design a gas lighting system, would have just figured out how to light his own house with this method around this time.

4/8

The mainstream can explain away some of them, saying they are gas powered. These two illustrations are from Moscow in 1856 and 1801. Because of the lack of close-up detail we get from these depictions, either explanation is reasonable.

That being said, if these towers' lights are gas powered then that is ridiculously resource-consuming and one could argue it's unreasonableness for the time period.

3/8

This one is called Réjouissances du Peuple... In Reims on August 27, 1765.

This is quite the spectacle for 1765, and it would predate the supposed invention of the light bulb by over 50 years.

The Anomaly of Electrical Lighting Illustrations

This is an illustration from 1851 in Paris with very obvious electrical lights, which would have predated Thomas Edison's reveal of the light bulb by over 20 years.

Thomas Edison may have been the one to successfully commercialize the light bulb, but he was not the inventor. According to mainstream history, Sir Humphry Davy was the first to design the light bulb. If we entertain this information, the illustration above would be possible in the mainstream timeline, even though it would be extremely cumbersome to set up and very expensive.
