Скачать или смотреть How Did We Survive Without Electricity? The Oil Lamp Story

Oil lamps have been lighting the way for thousands of years, from prehistoric caves to ancient cities. Early humans used simple stone bowls filled with animal fat, while civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome refined their designs with clay, bronze, and olive oil. Over time, innovations in lamp-making spread across the Byzantine, Islamic, and Renaissance eras, leading to brighter and more efficient lighting. Though electricity has taken over, oil lamps remain a symbol of history, culture, and human ingenuity.
