    Fragments of what are now considered to be ancient electrical batteries were found in 1936 by a German explorer under the sands of Iraq and are now in the Baghdad Museum. The outer casings were made of clay, containing copper rods running through iron cylinders inside the casing, with bitumen on the ends.
