Time travel: 'Planes and helicopter' found in astonishing Egyptian hieroglyphs

REMARKABLE depictions of "modern craft" found in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs have been hailed as proof of time travel and even an advanced alien civilisation visiting our ancestors. For conspiracy theorists and pseudo-archaeologists, hieroglyphs appearing to resemble planes and helicopters in artwork done thousands of years ago, have been hailed as unequivocal proof that the ancient Egyptians were visited by beings who brought them advanced technology from the future.

The 3,000-year-old hieroglyphs found in Seti I's temple in Abydos, Egypt, are said to depict a helicopter, plane and futuristic aircraft among the usual insects, symbols and snakes.

The writings have become known as the "Helicopter Hieroglyphs" among pseudoscience and conspiracy circles, with many supporters of the theory saying if the ancient civilisation was putting helicopters and modern spacecraft in their artwork, then they must have seen them, or at least observed images of them.

Some have even taken the theory a step further, introducing aliens to the equation.

One popular myth, known as the Ancient Aliens theory, is that the "advanced race" who bought details of futuristic technology to the Egyptians, were visitors from a far-flung highly advanced planet, to share their knowledge with the primitive communities on Earth.

The ancient aliens conspiracy theory claims these extraterrestrials were the ones behind the development of the pyramids, Stonehenge and other world famous monuments.

Do planes and helicopter in Egyptian heiroglyphs prove time travel?

During one talk in Warminster, Wiltshire, he pointed out the helicopter, saying: "Look it has what looks like the rotor blade and here is what looks like a rudder."

Turning to the aeroplane, he added: "And what about this? Is that a rudder and this the wing?

"I am not saying that this is a helicopter, but it is worth considering. Why would they put these images in and had they seen them?"

But, it appears there are other explanations than time travel that have been put forward.

Firstly, sceptics say the lack of any mention if such aircraft or time-travelling visitors in an andy Egyptian writings pretty much rules it out.

They also point out the Egyptians recorded most events and were so proud of their achievements it seems inconceivable that something so monumental as visitors from the future would have gone unrecorded apart from cryptically in a tucked away section of hieroglyphs near a roof.
