- snowbooch, on 11/03/2007, -24/+438come on, there are tons of glyphs which can look like anything, it's like staring at clouds. and a helicopter? surely the gods would fly something better.
- Hockey13, on 10/26/2007, -14/+294"Did the ancients have flying ships? Did the ships belong to their gods?"
No. - Brodels, on 10/22/2007, -6/+273buried, everyone knows it was the native americans that flew apaches, not the ancient egyptians.
- RubberBinder, on 10/28/2007, -3/+193We obviously figured out time travel in the future and we went back to see the Egyptians. We brought some of our technology as an experiment to see how they would react.
Duh! - inactive, on 10/21/2007, -14/+204It has been proved that these photos are coincidences. They are simply one set of hieroglyphics on top of another that look like planes and such.
http://www.catchpenny.org/abydos.html - ImperfectFreak, on 10/22/2007, -4/+180Glider. WTF?! That is a Land Speeder.
- satanatnmtedu, on 10/28/2007, -8/+155If you look at something with the current knowledge, you will eventually see things that seem like current technology in ancient writings. If you are deluded by this fact when you are misinterpreting this pictographs, then you deserve to be called a kook.
I am constant amazed at the gullibility of people. - spect3r, on 10/15/2007, -6/+133Clearly they are ROFLCopters
- fiberspy, on 10/15/2007, -3/+82So Han lied, the Egyptians made the Kessell run in less than 5 parsecs
- whataboutdave, on 10/22/2007, -2/+70Ancient Egyptians flew cobras.
Oh, you knew it was coming. - mhanley, on 10/22/2007, -6/+61Obligatory Stargate reference. "located several hundred miles south of Cairo and the Giza Plateau, at Abydos" Everyone knows that Abydos is the planet where SG-1 defeated Ra, and Daniel met Sha're. This is probably where the gate was buried on Earth!
- m0laria, on 10/28/2007, -2/+55Also, George Lucas is head of the time machine program and in charge of time-machine space-ship design for all countries in the world. As a result of this, all space ships in the future look like ships from star wars.
- heyiquit, on 10/15/2007, -12/+64Even for a conspiracy/UFO page, it's a bad one. Buried as *****.
- Keon, on 10/15/2007, -3/+51So you're saying the ancient Egyptians were...fans of Star Wars?
By the way the Millennium Falcon is not an Unidentified Flying Object. - HyperionHK, on 10/23/2007, -4/+44How am I supposed to take this crap seriously when the glyphs are being compared to STAR WARS vehicles......
The only one that looks like anything modern is the Helicopter one, which could also just as easily be a person holding a staff, just turned sideways - allyant, on 10/22/2007, -2/+39You could say that the "Submarine" pic is a dildo...
- m0laria, on 10/15/2007, -2/+38Amun Ra may have flewn the Millenium Falcon, but Osiris flew an X-Wing.
- signal15, on 11/04/2007, -7/+39This is true, however, there are some interesting tidbits of information in the old Indian texts. One mentions something about mercury being used in these engines. NASA is current experimenting with injecting mercury vapor into an ion engine, which gives it hundreds to thousands of times more thrust because of the increased mass of the particles exiting the engine. Another story talks about how a city was wiped out from a weapon which caused the heat of 10,000 suns, and the people that didn't fry had their hair and fingernails fall out and then they died. They have actually located a site of an ancient city which has radiation levels hundreds of times what they should be, and lots of sand that has been melted into glass.
Wikipedia has some interesting information on Vimanas, and there is a lot of other stuff out there on google. Given that the earth is 5 billion years old, and traces of human existence do not last that long in the grand scheme of things, we would have to be fairly conceited to think that the last 3000 years were the first time "advanced" civilization occured on this planet. I'm not saying it did happen, but you cannot disprove it. - sowhat5828, on 10/15/2007, -1/+30either way your still a virgin
- cgruber, on 10/15/2007, -1/+30Well.. It WAS a long time ago.
- rolfeman02, on 10/15/2007, -2/+30Hey did you know that 'gullible' is not in the dictionary?
- crichton101, on 10/15/2007, -2/+26You mean like the weak conjecture made in favor of them being about airships and ufos? Simply because the design looks like a helicopter it must be a helicopter?
- resplence, on 10/22/2007, -4/+28And the "glider" is such a stretch.
- inactive, on 10/22/2007, -5/+29As Kirk would say: "Why does God need a helicopter?"
- redled, on 10/22/2007, -0/+23It looks like a Womprat. I used to shoot those things back home.
- resplence, on 10/15/2007, -2/+24Because we don't jump to conclusions without any shred of supporting evidence that makes us arrogant?
- Pokez, on 10/22/2007, -0/+22Duh....what do you think "airplane" mode is for?
- moskaudancer, on 10/22/2007, -0/+21The photographed chopper in the article isn't even an Apache, it's a Comanche. Though I guess the joke would stay the same.
Sweet naming conventions we have, huh? :) - g2g079, on 10/15/2007, -5/+25The 5th Element!
- whataboutdave, on 10/15/2007, -1/+21The most sensible explanation is that the ancients knew all about Star Wars vehicles. Duh.
- Racerx52, on 10/22/2007, -0/+20It's obvious that ancient Egyptians were bullseyeing womprats
- allyant, on 10/22/2007, -9/+29You could say these look like anything...
- sowhat5828, on 10/15/2007, -2/+21seriously?!? let me check...
Hey wait a minute!!! - supremespleen, on 10/15/2007, -4/+23Who cares if it is just our brains associating old hieroglyphics with current technology? It is cool to see ancient facsimiles of modern technology chiseled into rock.
- donmanguno, on 10/15/2007, -0/+18Direct quote from the article you linked.
"Furthermore, researchers such as Joe Nickell of the University of Kentucky, have reproduced the figures using the technology available to the Nazca Indians of the time without aerial supervision. With careful planning and simple technologies, a small team of individuals could recreate even the largest figures within a couple of days."
so yeah... probably not a hot air balloon or a large kite, as that is ***** ridiculous. - norman619, on 10/15/2007, -4/+21Why do you people seem to cling to the idea of aliens as the only possible explanation for odd things like this. Most things can be explained in HUMAN terms pretty easily. You seem to think humans can't so much as wipe their asses w/o alien intervention. There are many examples of archaeological finds of extreme age which tend to say our view of ancient human history is very wrong. Ancient man may not have been as ignorant or primitive as we would like to believe.
- MrAndrews, on 10/15/2007, -2/+18No kidding. There's more than just flying machines, too... http://dustrunners.blogspot.com/2007/10/ancient-mp ...
There's so much we don't know about those crazy Egyptians... - WhereAmI, on 10/15/2007, -3/+19Then your new to this whole 'Egypt' thing. These have been around for awhile, long before photoshop (and I don't mean thousands of years, I mean the helicopter one especially have been on TV before).
- inactive, on 10/15/2007, -1/+16isn't a parsec a unit of length instead of time?
- inactive, on 10/15/2007, -0/+14That's not a balloon. It's a space station.
- Mononuclear, on 10/15/2007, -1/+15Anubis kills them all in a hot air balloon.
- chessmaster2000, on 10/15/2007, -0/+14I dugg you down for not knowing how to spell "than"
- todd.cole, on 10/15/2007, -0/+14But they saved tons of money on their Millennium Falcon insurance.
- keeganspeck, on 10/15/2007, -1/+14Good point, but why is there so little evidence of a previous, highly advanced advanced civilization? I mean, if they were as advanced as we are now, and had space ships, don't you think there would be materials that would last a long long time? Say, twinkies. Or other types of plastic (haha?). Anyway, I can understand an ancient civilization in the classic sense dissolving into little evidence, but if our people were wiped out today, there would be a ***** load of artifacts, and loads of evidence of our influence on the environment.
- Hetman, on 10/22/2007, -4/+17Who do you prefer as Jack o Neill. Kurt Russell or Richard dean anderson. I prefer Richard.
- nymphetamine, on 11/04/2007, -3/+16The real gods drive Big Wheels.
- victorycig, on 10/15/2007, -0/+12Mmmm, excellent vetting. This is what I like to see on digg!
- Dustmuffins, on 10/15/2007, -5/+17They are actually several glyphs on top of each other, buried as inaccurate.
- cgruber, on 10/22/2007, -1/+13Hot
- KingGorilla, on 10/15/2007, -1/+13the text is actually two sets of hieroglyphs with one written on top of the other. royall64 found a nice link here it is again
