In the 1930 in Khujut Rabula on the outskirts of Bagdad, some people was digging in a little hill. They found remains of a tower from the time of Partert. The museum of Irak then began to do archaeological excavations in the area. A German archaeologist, named W. König, then discover curious things who seems to be like a cell in a modern pocket torch!He found out that they had found remains of four similar �batteries� near the old city Seleuca, an area down the river. At a visit in The Berlin museum he discovered several not assembled parts, like a cylinder of copper, sticks of iron and asphalt to feed ten likely �batteries�, probable used in a series connectionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad...dera_lightSome scientists believe that artifacts found in Iraq which date from circa 200 BC are batteries and possibly used for electroplatinghttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2804257.stm
