If the relief to the left was a modern one, there would no doubt that what we are seeing is a helicopter [Pharaoh's Helicopter] next to several other advanced craft. However this art is over 3,000 years old, and "the experts" tell us that there were no advanced craft in deep antiquity. Some believe it is proof of Ancient Aircraft
The rendition resembling a helicopter to the left is fairly cut and dry - it's obviously an extinct animal that has not yet been catalogued, I mean , hell we all know that an ancient Egyptian from 3,000 years ago couldn't possibly have etched a picture of a flying machine not invented till the 1950s . The 3 images one atop the other to the right - a boat, hovercraft, or vimanna or a large airplane, possibly carrying a big object underneath. The image at the bottom also has a high-tech look to it. But it really does look like an Ancient Aircraft. Some detractors from the radical theorists view of advanced technology in the ancient world have speculated that what we are seeing is an 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 Egyptian Rorshach image above. The technical term used is 'palimpsest'. [ The Abydos Helicopter & Secrets of the Golden Section ] |
In Rorshach images people see what they want to see, personally, I see a helicopter, an airplane and some other craft open to interpretation. Intellectually , I realize that there is a strong case for the "accidental illusion" argument, but I really want to see Ancient Aircraft .....
Model Aircraft in Ancient Egyptian Tombs

At the end of the Nineteenth Century a small model plane made sycamore wood, with a fuselage, wings and a tail, was discovered in a tomb near Saqqara, Egypt, It was dated to Ca. 200 BC. It was sent to the Cairo Museum of Antiquities catalogued ,and then forgotten. Rediscovered in 1969 in the museum’s storerooms in , 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. So far At least 14 other model aircraft have been found in Egyptian tombs. 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 may was a ceremonial object because the Saqqara Bird is modeled after the falcon, the bird after which is commonly used to represent several important gods of the Egyptian pantheon. But "ceremonial" is a catch all /explain all phrase used by old school archeologists for anything they can't explain. Others have speculated it may have been a toy for an elite child, a weather vane, or a boomerang which was common and well-known in ancient Egypt . |

| Of questionable origins , The Tulli Papyrus is often cited by UFO enthusiasts, some believe is 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. 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."
