Crazy stuff. Especially in light of my own experience. I feel I was contacted which is crazy in itself. I was worried they were out to get me so I flipped them off. Hope I didn't piss them off too much. If I had they probably could have just vaporized me or something.

Fun to approach it with some humor, no?? Can't help but feel like you are criticizing my light heartedness with the matter.
Are you not??

do we know that those hieroglyphics are legitimate?

My approach also. Has anyone seen the scarab/dung beetle and Phoenix amulets from Egypt??

the ones in the link look photoshopped. Might just be the bad pixelation

Modern egyptologists do no recognize them as such.
The conventional explanation for these mysterious carvings is that they are just illusions. The most likely cause of these anomalous hieroglyphs is considered to be due to re-facing and re-carving of the original temple stonework, and to weathering effects. Over a protracted period of time, it is believed that parts of the reworked stone have fallen away, revealing older hieroglyphs underneath. In effect, sections of the original and re-carved hieroglyphs have become overlapped to produce altered images that bear little, if any resemblance, to the original images. Such images are termed palimpsests.
I however question the authority on this one..

Your sig sums it up quiet nicely. But, weathering effects?? Altered images?? Overlap?? They look pretty crisp to me, even if they are a hoax.

My eyes agree. It's clear to me that nothing has fallen away from the carving of the helicopter and other aircraft. They are continuous intact images. The helicopter, for example, is precise in every detail, down to its finely carved rotor blade.
I could perhaps acknowledge the theory of palimpsests if there weren't three other distinct images resembling airborne technological devices on the very same column. But this isn't the case. The visual evidence is staggering.
Now assuming that the experts are correct. That these images are illusory and only resemble aircraft out of pure coincidence..
How is that the idea of ancient flying machines has been recoreded in other places around the world such as Tibet and India?
Recently, it was reported that the Chinese have discovered extremely old Sanskrit documents in Tibet and sent them to the University of Chandrigarh in India to be translated. Apparently, the documents contain instructions for building spacecraft. Surprisingly, the Chinese announced that they were evaluating this ancient technology for potential inclusion in their space program!
There is increasing evidence that the so-called 'Rama Empire' of Northern India and Pakistan is far more ancient than had been originally supposed. Remnants of its large sophisticated cities are still to be found in the deserts of Pakistan, and in Northern and Western India. According to ancient Indian texts, the Empire of Rama had flying machines which were called 'Vimanas'. The texts on Vimanas are numerous, and highly detailed. The ancient Indians wrote entire flight manuals on the control of the various types of Vimanas, many of which are still in existence; some have now been translated into English. Different types of Vimanas were described; some were saucer shaped, others cigar shaped. The Vimanas appeared to be powered by some sort of anti-gravity device, as they took off vertically and were capable of hovering in the air.
Interestingly, it was the Nazis who developed the first pulse-jet engines for use in their V-8 rocket bombs. Prior to and during World War II they had an intense interest in ancient civilisations, and India and Tibet in particular. They mounted many expeditions to these two countries in search of ancient knowledge and technologies. Perhaps it was from here that they gleaned critical information that enabled them to develop jet engine technology, and even saucer-shaped flying vehicles. It is a documented fact that the Nazis had their own flying saucer programme during the last war.
The compelling temple carvings at Abydos and Karnak, and ancient texts from India and Tibet, speak of a bygone era when powered flight was highly advanced and even commonplace. They speak of a long-lost civilisation that was at least as advanced as our own. It was not a civilisation that existed three thousand years ago, but much further back in the mists of time; a civilisation that was suddenly wiped from the face of the Earth. Unfortunately, as has been seen all too often, history has a habit of repeating itself.

Very cool, Altered Again. I'm into this stuff, and have read almost all of Daniken's books, which kind of relate to this subject. Do you have any links to the Chinese Sanskrit documents topic you were talking about? What I don't get, is that if there were ancient civilizations like this, why is it so hard to find evidence? I realize they could have been buried under tons of sediment from the flood. But you'd think we would have found something conclusive by now. All we have are mysteries (which is proof enough for some).
I don't know, but this interests me greatly. Good thread.

I love not knowing. I enjoy the mystery and just sitting in awe of the possibilities. I really feel that earth is in for a surprise in this regard. Maybe just wishful thinking.

93 Yes, a very interesting and often overlooked part of recent history is the interest of the Nazi's(as a whole and individuals working under the party) in ancient civilizations and alternative theories. They even did a lot of research on things like hollow earth. Otto Rahn, a high ranking SS officer, went on expeditions seeking the holy grail. Film maker Richard Stanley did a documentary called "the secret glory" covering his exploits and mysterious life. Unfortunately, I have been unable to see it yet. 93 93/93

I once read a book called "Nazi's and the Occult" or some similar title. Might be worth checking out for some of you interested.

At one point, I would have sided with the experts on this one. At this time in my life, however, I am agnostic on the matter.
