Model, Drawings & Story OF ANCIENT FLYING CRAFT
The Saqqara Bird
.jpg)
The Tulli Papyus.
Date of making the Saqqara Bird: Approximately 200BC, 2,200 years agoDate of Drawing the Tulli Papyrus: Approximately 3,000 Years Ago
Built by: Ancient Egyptians
Could Either have been made WITHOUT the Drawer / Builder having seen Flying Craft: In the view of the Editors the Drawings on the Tulli Papyrus could only have been made after seeing Flying Craft, while it would be possible for the Saqqara Bird to be built and it could be coincidental that it Flies Ancient Egyptain Flying Craft Unlike the aircraft of ancient India, of which there is extensive documentation - evidence of ancient Egyptian knowledge of aerodynamics and flight is shaky to say the least. Researchers point to two artifacts, one is the Abydos Temple Glyphs possibly depicting unusual craft including one that looks like a helicopter and one a plane, and the second is a model aircraft found in an Egyptian tomb - the Saqqara Bird.
While the Abydos Temple Glyphs do not demonste aerodynamic knowledge of the ancient Egyptians, is an indication of their possible contact with or observation of intelligently controlled flying craft.
Pharaoh's HelicopterIf the picture on our home page and above right was a modern one, there would no doubt that there is a helicopter next to several other aircraft. However these images are over 3,000 years old, so many believe it is proof of knowledge of or the Sulpter having seen aircraft or pictures of aircraft
The picture resembling a helicopter to the left is obvious, but how could someone draw a picture 3,000 years ago of a helicopter not invented till the 1950s .
The images to the right of the helicopter look like a submarine or boat, the picture below it looks like a large airplane, possibly carrying a big object underneath. The image at the bottom also has a aircraft look to it.
Some scientists and Egyptian Experts have speculated that what we are seeing is an "accidental illusion" caused by several layers of overlapping glyphs. The original layer of glyphs, were later covered by plaster, and replaced by another set of different glyphs. Chips of plaster sporadically fell out and created the image.
Saqquara Bird discovered in Egyptian TombAt the end of the Nineteenth Century a small model plane (pictured above left) made sycamore wood, with a fuselage, wings and a tail, was discovered in a tomb near Saqqara, Egypt, It was dated to 200BC. It was sent to the Cairo Museum of Antiquities cataloged and then forgotten.
Rediscovered in 1969 in the museum's storerooms in, models of it was found to fly perfectly as a glider. There are some indications it may have originally possessed a propulsion mechanism near the tail. The design is very sophisticated. It has been dubbed "The Saqqara Bird" . It has a wingspan of 180 mm (7.1 in) and weighs 39.12 g (1.380 oz).
Some think the Saqqara Bird is a ceremonial object and modeled on the falcon, the bird which is commonly used to represent several important gods of the Egyptians. Others have speculated it may have been a toy for a child.
While It flies, it's not proof positive that there was a Ancient crsft that it was based on but it is proof that the Ancient Egyptians had a basic knowledge of flight and aerodynamics. Egyptian physician, archaeologist and parapsychologist Khalil Messiha has speculated that the ancient Egyptians developed the first aircraft. He wrote that it "represents a diminutive of an original monoplane still present in Saqqara." He also claimed that the Saqqara Bird could function as a glider if it had a horizontal tailplane, which he "suppose[d] was lost," and noted that the Egyptians often placed miniaturized representations of their technology in their tombs. The Tulli PapyrusOf questionable origins , The Tulli Papyrus is often cited by UFO enthusiasts as evidence of ancient aircraft.
During a visit to Egypt in 1933, a director of the Egyptian section of the Vatican museum, Alberto Tulli, found the papyrus in an antique shop. He hastily made a copy of the text, then yet another, replacing the original hieratic script with hieroglyphic. What remains is a copy of a copy that was translated by R. Cedric Leonard which is most popular.
"In the year 22, of the third month of winter, sixth hour of the day among the scribes of the House of Life it was found that a strange Fiery Disk was coming in the sky. It had no head. The breath of its mouth emitted a foul odor. Its body was one rod in length and one rod in width. It had no voice. It came toward His Majesty's house.
Their heart became confused through it, and they fell upon their bellies. They went to the king, to report it. His Majesty [ordered that] the scrolls [located] in the House of Life be consulted. His Majesty meditated on all these events which were now going on.
After several days had passed, they became more numerous in the sky than ever. They shined in the sky more than the brightness of the sun, and extended to the limits of the four supports of heaven [...] Powerful was the position of the Fiery Disks.
The army of the King looked on, with His Majesty in their midst. It was after the evening meal when the Disks ascended even higher in the sky to the south. Fish and other volatiles rained down from the sky: a marvel never before known since the foundation of the country. And His Majesty caused incense to be brought to make peace on the hearth of the gods. And it was [ordered] to be [recorded for] His Majesty in the annals of the House of Life [to be remembered] for ever."
