My guess is that a precursor civilization who lived in the current Egypt area
used a giant pyramid as a power plant to generate electricity using the same effect.

a mound of stone doesnt do very good as power plant.

It does make a good capacitor though. Built much like a leyden jar the great pyramids at Giza had a granite lining, thick limestone insulator and white metamorphosed limestone outer layer. Using the main body of limestone as reference the granite is about 250% more conductive and the outer layer is 50% more conductive. The whole thing was capped with a gold capstone, an electrode possibly to capture static electricity from the higher potential in the air above. A current inducing water flow still runs underneath the pyramids today. @Red_Menace

Not actually that hard to do. I've done it many times in a microwave oven.

My favorite is doing it with a grape

Well... not sure how one might do that in a microwave. But, cool!
