No. Its too young.
But Mombasa had electric trams in the 1910s.
From Fort Jesus to Vipingo to Kilindini port.
Where were they tapping electricity from?
Are there pics on the construction of trams and tramways?
Why haven't we been taught about them in school?

Hebu Identify some of these buildings

hidden knowledge, watu wakamuliwe kabisa.
how was the Crystal Palace fair possible without electricity.
how did they achieve that with horse and donkey carts?
Funny how those crystal palaces were mysteriously razed down all at the same time. Hiyo ya London was massive at 25 acres.

First of all Antarctica Ice is artificial so are all Deserts. Reasons why people are not allowed to visit Antarctica is mostly to Hide the truth about our origins and the Reset and not to see the warmer Antarctica beyond the Ice Wall.
Why are people prohibited from going to Antarctica?
Because there is no visa permit to travel there unless you are in one of the arctic treaty and also the polar regions have a habit to affect magnetic navigation tools hence will interfere with the planes navigation system.

I agree that Wikipedia is editable but some facts can not be changed...

hizo ni za very recent times. cant compare with the pyramids
Were power tools used or not used in constructing them?
Were the constructed before electricity and power tools were 'discovered'?

And the London Square is not the one you thinking of. The London Square mentioned here is the one constructed by Lucius Septimius Severus. Do you know who that is?

Kwa hizo graffiti za early Egypt, there are those that show items that look like power tools, maybe hydraulic but without context it`s difficult to have an absolute answer
