The thing about any crackpot argument for "ancient electricity" that just dawned on me, is that they call it The Bronze Age for a reason, the ancients insisted on the versatility of their metal (bronze = copper + tin) over its' conductivity (pure copper).

There was a more ancient Copper Age, but it was brief, bronze was the definition of a technological leap forward.
