REEL HISTORY: When the inventor of the electric light bulb, Thomas Edison’s wanted to give electricity a soul, they borrowed one from ancient Persia. That’s right, the electric light bulb was once advertised in the name of Ahura Mazda, the god of light from Zoroastrianism, born in Balkh, Afghanistan.
