How We Create Snake Oil!

So there you stand, on a battle field.

A valley separates your army from your enemy.

The sky is darkening.

Suddenly, as the commander of the enemy troops raises his sword to launch the fight, lightning strikes him dead.

And then his entire military falls dead!

Yeah i know your modern knowledge tells you that :
1) By raising his sword, mounted upon his horse, the enemy's commander offered the shortest path to the electrical discharge.

2) That charge traveled through him and his horse into the ground.

3) As his soldiers reacted and took a step back, they each became like a small electric circuit through which the current then passed, like a bunch of little parallel circuits.

Hence everybody died!

But YOU got modern knowledge!

Now go back 3 000 years!

Where do the makers and controllers of the universe live? In the sky.

Where does lightning come from? The sky.

What is the favorite weapon of the gods of all religions? Lightning.

Only possible deduction was that the gods had stricken the enemy down!

Et Voila!

Snake Oil!
