I like that Egyptians had electric lights installed on the floors of their tombs. That way, when you wandered around as a mummy, you wouldn't get lost in the dark among the many corridors. Though I suppose after a few thousand years of this, you'd know them pretty well anyway.

And those lights have been burning for thousands of years.
Just think of all that energy!
This is probably what started global warming.

Actually those are LEDs

The change over to LED at Luray Caverns in Virginia made a big difference. Quite stunning.

I’m puzzled, wondering just who changed the light bulbs.
