Day 2: UAPs in Ancient Egypt—Pharaohs, Pyramids, and Possible Probes

Did the ancient Egyptians have alien Wi-Fi? Let’s dig in.


The Pyramid Question: Built by Humans or E.T. Contractors?

If you’ve ever looked at the Great Pyramid of Giza and thought, No way humans stacked those rocks without a crane, you’re not alone. For centuries, people have whispered that aliens might have lent the Egyptians a helping… tentacle?

Sure, the official story credits the pyramids to skilled laborers, brilliant engineering, and a lot of back-breaking work. But let’s be real—there are some weird details:

  • Perfect alignments with celestial bodies.
  • Massive stones transported without wheels.
  • Hidden chambers that scream “Escape Room: Intergalactic Edition.”

Add to that some ancient texts that talk about gods coming down from the sky, and you’ve got yourself a UAP mystery fit for a pharaoh.


The Tulli Papyrus: Egypt’s First UFO Sighting?

Historians say the Tulli Papyrus describes an actual ancient UFO encounter. Here’s the gist:

  • Around 1480 BCE, strange “fiery disks” appeared in the sky.
  • They were bright, silent, and… apparently just hovering, as if deciding whether Earth was worth a Yelp review.
  • The pharaoh ordered priests to investigate, but the disks “ascended higher” and “disappeared.”

Sound familiar? Swap the papyrus for a TikTok post, and it’s 2024 all over again.


Hieroglyphs or Alien Emojis?

Take a stroll through an Egyptian temple, and you’ll see hieroglyphs that supposedly show helicopters, planes, and even flying saucers. Skeptics say these are just carvings layered over time, but conspiracy theorists? They’re already building rockets to meet their alien ancestors.

Imagine this:

  • A UFO lands in 2000 BCE.
  • An alien hops out, waving its three-fingered hand.
  • Egyptians, understandably freaked out, decide to carve the moment into stone because Instagram wasn’t a thing yet.

Ra and the Sky Chariots

The sun god Ra was said to travel across the sky in a glowing chariot. Now, let’s pause. A glowing chariot, moving at incredible speeds, high above the Earth? Sounds less like mythology and more like a spaceship with great branding.

Were the gods of Egypt just really advanced alien tourists? Did Ra’s chariot have a warp drive? And more importantly, how did it handle the scorching heat?


The Sphinx: Guardian or Galactic GPS?

The Great Sphinx has been watching over the desert for thousands of years, but what’s it really guarding? Some theorists believe the Sphinx is a marker—a giant, sandy breadcrumb pointing extraterrestrials to a cosmic rest stop.

And the head? It might’ve been swapped out over time. Originally an alien? A lion? A giant cat toy for interstellar felines? We may never know.


Why Aliens Might Have Loved Ancient Egypt

  • The weather: No need to pack a jacket.
  • The architecture: Lots of landing pads (aka pyramids).
  • The humans: “These guys love building stuff. Let’s show them how to make a crop circle next.”

No, the other left!” during pyramid construction. If you’re still unsure, consult your local archaeologist—or an alien enthusiast. Both will probably roll their eyes.
