Discover the engineeringperspective on ancient Egyptian art with Shane Reed. I'm the founder ofNetworking Café, where I help polymaths be understood.Shane's Educational JourneyBK: Welcome, Shane. Please share your journey.**Shane Reid**(SR): My education began with my grandparents,followed by school where I always got mixed signals I joined the Navy from 15to 18, then studied engineering sciences in college before working in variousengineering industries.BK: What kinds of engineering?SR: Mechanical design, structural theory, electricalcontrols, and power systems. I've worked in machine shops and for companieslike GM and Ford.Researching Ancient CivilizationsBK: What are you doing now?SR: Researching ancient civilizations' technologies. Itstarted with Greek myths, analysing them from an engineering perspective.BK: For yourself or others?SR: It’s a personal project since the industry isn’t thereanymore. If there's no job, create one.---The Concept of Cities of GoldBK: Describe the cities of gold.SR: Ancient cities gathered water into dams to electroplatestructures. This process might explain the term "cities of gold."Ancient Egyptian Technology and ElectricityBK: Did ancient Egypt have electricity?SR: Yes, they used an engineering system involving water andcopper anodes. It’s a three-dimensional concept. Practical Applications and Modern ImplicationsSR: My research involves reconstructing these technologiesto generate electricity using stone and copper, similar to electric lightersbut on a larger scale.BK: Could this solve modern energy problems?SR: Yes, using these principles could produce millions ofvolts cheaply. The Vision for Revitalizing Ancient TechnologiesBK: Could you engineer what you found in Egypt for Canadatoday?SR: Yes, using these principles could generate large amountsof electricity efficiently. We're spending a lot on modern technology when wecould use ancient methods effectively.BK: What would the ideal outcome be?SR: To get these ancient systems working again. Rebuildingwould revitalize agriculture along the Nile by managing water effectively.Conclusion and Final ThoughtsBK: Fascinating. For more, find my Calendly link in the shownotes. Shane, can people contact you for more information?SR: Absolutely. I'm happy to answer questions.BK: Thank you for thebrilliant conversation.
