When thinking about ancient technologies, why people tend to think it in terms of electricity powered tech?

I was watching this podcast and it stuck me in the first 10 mins (because they were discussing Mahabharata), when people are talking about ancient technologies why are they thinking it in terms of “tech that run on electricity”.

There are around 200 sub-atomic particles, can’t another sub-atomic particle produce energy other than electricity? More Importantly a form of energy not discovered yet!
