9Egyptian Carvings

According to many UFO enthusiasts, the Temple of Osiris at Abydos contains definitive proof of advanced ancient technology. The glyphs seem to include depictions of a helicopter, a jet plane and some sort of flying saucer. Unfortunately for believers, the glyphs are a result of erosion and actual replacement and re-carving of hieroglyphics. The original text is part of the titulary of Seti I, that had been changed to reference Ramsses II. Modifying and defacing inscriptions was common in ancient Egypt’s history, and in this case yielded some strange-looking results. Even stranger, UFO enthusiasts do not find it odd that there are no other examples like this in the thousands of hieroglyphs discovered elsewhere, nor is there any mention of flying machines anywhere in Egyptian literature.

9 埃及雕刻

據許多UFO迷稱，位于埃及阿比多斯的奧西里斯廟(Temple of Osiris)中藏有古代發達科技的確鑿證據。廟里的符號似乎包含有關直升飛機、噴氣式飛機及某種飛碟的描述。但對相信此理論者來說不幸的是，這些符號只不過是腐蝕作用的結果，實際上是象形文字被替換和重新雕刻而形成的。原來的文字是塞提一世稱號(該稱號后已改為拉美西斯二世)的一部分。在古埃及歷史上，修改和涂掉刻字是常見現象，在這種情況下，就會產生一些看上去奇怪的符號。更奇怪的是，在其他地方發現的數以千計的象形文字中并沒有其他像這樣的例子，所有埃及文獻中也從沒有提及過任何飛行的機器，而UFO迷們卻對此熟視無睹。
