I’m going to start of this article by asking you, the reader the
question; “What do you see in the above image?”. Do some of the
hieroglyphs look a bit odd? unlike the others? Well according to many
people that have visited the Temple of Seti in Abydos and even
archaeologists who have researched the temple, claim that these
hieroglyphs actually depict modern day flying machines such as
helicopters, airplanes, and even submarines. Is this Pareidolia, or did
ancient Egyptians just get lucky when they carved these hieroglyphs?
This ancient temple built by Seti I, and his son Ramses II, has been
the center of attention for many researchers in the field of archaeology
and ufology. The image above firsts thought to be a fake, was proven to
be the real deal and present today on a heavy stone slab that supports
the ceiling of this amazing temple. Even though some of us would love
for these ancient hieroglyphs to depict actual modern day machines, most
archaeologists claim that this is the result of Palimpsest, where
Egyptologists actually identified overlapping of the hieroglyphics in
the above image. The original glyph’s were “erased” and replaced by a
new set of hieroglyphics which turned out to be these strange looking
figures which according to researchers, accidentally resemble modern day
machines. Take notices that this theory has not been accepted by all
archaeologists equally Most researchers still believe that these
hieroglyphs are still a mystery and that a acceptable scientific
conclusion is needed. The Abydos temple honored numerous deities,
including Isis, Horus, Set, Amun-Re, Re-Horakhty, and Ptah.
Hieroglyphs present at the temple of Seti I are incredibly
clean and precise and you cannot find a single place inside the temple
where hieroglyphs were sloppy or out of place, so what could these
hieroglyphs really be?
Re-carving of inscriptions was a common practice in ancient
Egypt. According to history,when newly installed Pharaohs adopted the
structures of their predecessors they would make them their own by
overwriting the hieroglyphs, this practice can cause optical illusions
and this is the explanation that modern day Egyptologists have regarding
Abydos, but it is here where some researchers do not agree with the
explanation pointing towards the image of the “helicopter” that appears
in the image stating that it is a precise and continuous image finely
carved to depict what they saw, a helicopter.
Arab newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat published several sensational photos
taken in the Amon Ra Temple in Karnak, which according to researchers
represent almost identical carvings to the ones found in Abydos. Two
almost identical sets of drawings were found at Karnak and Abydos. These images are not available and we have
not been able to find any of them. If the finding at Karnak did in fact
partially match the hieroglyphs found at Abydos all current theories
explaining the depictions at Abydos would fall into water.
If this was actually true, it would change the way Egyptologists and researchers think about Abydos, Karnak and history itself.
Do the hieroglyphs found at Abydos suggest the presence of flying
machines thousands of years ago? Is it a coincidence that similar
hieroglyphs were found at two locations, Abydos and Karnak? And does the
theory of re-facing and re-carving of the original temple stonework
hold up against the theory of flying machines? It is a debate that will
continue in the future, until an explanation, accepted by the entire
archaeological community is given. The actual explanation of the “flying
machines at Abydos” is that, they are not flying machines, they are
merely eroded glyph’s of a palimpsest punished by time. If the author of
these hieroglyphs really meant to illustrate flying machines, we are
sure that we would find more evidence of these flying machines in other
parts of Egypt. Let’s face it, flying around in ancient Egypt would have
been a pretty big deal worth depicting and worshiping, so we are sure
that if ancient Egyptians had the ability to fly around, more proof of
that would be available today. For now, we stick with the theory
of eroded glyph’s of a palimpsest.
