Some of the most ancient lightning conductors can be found
in Sri Lanka in places like the Kingdom of Anuradhapura
[ 4th century BC ] that dates back to thousands of years.
The Sinhalese kings who mastered construction of stupas
and advanced building structures, installed a metal tip made
of copper on the highest point of every building to conduct any
lightning charge. In many parts of the world ancient Buddhist
monuments have been destroyed by lightning strikes but not in
Sri Lanka.
