Electric organs were one of the first things to make use of electricity. They were used hundreds of years before Franklin wrote about his lightning kite experiment. In fact, the Teleosts used them even before the Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.

TruthBeTold Spoiler
*****Spoiler*****
This one is 100% true. By wording this TruthBeTold this way and showing a picture of a salamander playing the keyboard of a musical organ, it deceptively makes the words “electric organ” sound like the musical instrument, but in this case “electric organ” means a biological organ (electrical organ) in some aquatic species used to produce an electric charge that is used for navigation, to stun prey, or for defense, like in the electric eel. Electric eels belong to the a genus under the taxonomical infraclass teleost. By capitalizing the word “Teleost” in connection with the Ancient Egyptians, that word appears, to those unfamiliar with that infraclass, to be referring to some esoteric civilization predating the Pyramids.
