When you hear Ancient Egypt, you probably start thinking of mummies, pyramids,
and endless deserts. But did you know that many of the things we use today were invented
by the ancient Egyptians? Eyeshadow, Leaves, Peppermint Candy, Bowling, Shaving and Trimming,
Door Locks, Toothpaste, Tables and Other Furniture, Police, and so on. However,
it seems that before that, the ancestors of these inventors had gone much further. So far
that the knowledge of their inventions has been lost, and today even the greatest minds in the
world cannot explain what we have discovered. In this video, we will not be looking for the
answer to how the Egyptians invented all of the things just listed, but whether they
knew anything more. Did they have thousands of years ago what we only discovered decades ago?
Did the ancient Egyptians know how to fly? In order to escape from Crete and King Minos,
the ingenious craftsman Daedalus made wings for himself and his son out of feathers glued
with wax. Icarus's father warned him not to fly too low or too high, lest the moisture of the
sea blind his wings or the sun melt them. Icarus disregarded his father's advice not to fly close
to the sun and it melted the wax in his wings and he fell into the sea and died. This part of the
sea was named the Icarian Sea in his honor. Yes, these two had nothing to do with the
Egyptians, but the myth of them was meant to serve as a warning to mankind not to compare
themselves with the gods and defy their will. As we all well know today, that didn't work.
In 1903, exploration of the celestial realm began for us thanks to the Wright brothers
and their gasoline-powered twin-propeller glider. In many mythologies of the distant past, however,
we find references to aircraft or devices that could somehow have allowed our ancestors to
fly. But these are only legends? Or not? An artifact discovered in 1898 during
excavations of the tomb of Pa-di-Imen in Saqqara, Egypt, casts doubt on the matter.
It is dated to approximately 200 BC and was originally called "the bird of Saqqara"
On display in Room 22 of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Inventory No. 6347, is one of the
most controversial archaeological finds. With a length of about 5.51 inches and a wingspan of 7.09
inches, what at first glance resembles a bird is an object that weighs no more than 1.41 oz.
It is made of the sycamore tree, considered sacred and a symbol of immortality. It is
also associated with the goddess Hathor. At first, it was assumed that the find was
a ritual object, a toy of a child from a wealthy family, or a weather indicator placed on sacred
boats to indicate the direction of the wind; the latter hypothesis finds some support in some New
Kingdom reliefs found in the Honsu temple. The first to reason differently, however,
was Khalil Mesiha, a professor at the University of Helwan.
To begin with, he refutes the hypothesis, that it is a funerary artifact, although he agrees
with the fact that the ancient Egyptians often placed miniatures of their technology in their
tombs. Mesiha explains that the Saqqara bird differs significantly from other
statues and models of birds found in excavations. However, he goes even further by recognizing in
the unusual bird a model of a small glider. What struck him was that apart from the beak and eyes,
which point others to the depiction of a hawk, the emblem of the god Horus,
the tail is actually square and oddly upright with a concave section that could house something like
a propeller, which is probably missing. The wings are spread, but without the
slightest curve, they taper towards the ends and are laid in a groove. The absence of legs
only further strengthens Professor Messiha's theory. His conclusion is that the artifact
could have functioned as a glider if it had had a horizontal stabilizer,
which, as he suggests, 'has been lost'. According to Mesiha's theory, the fact that
the figure has no legs, and the angle of its wings is similar to that of a modern airplane,
suggests an attempt to achieve aerodynamic lift. After the professor's courage to describe all this
and put his name to it, many people began to call the artifact wrongly - the Saqqara
glider or the Pharaoh's plane. Or maybe that's exactly what it's properly called?
Biologist Ivan Sanderson conducts a simulation. He creates a model an exact replica of the artifact,
but uses balsa wood instead of sycamore. He adds the missing piece at the back
of the pharaoh's plane, which serves for control, stability, and balance.
This piece at the end of the tail is key to turning, taking off, rising,
and lowering the aircraft. Once ready, he proved that just a slight push could make the layout fly.
Unfortunately, however, there is no way to say definitively that this was an ancient
prototype aircraft. Furthermore, no ancient Egyptian aircraft have been found, nor is there
any other evidence to suggest their existence. Some suggest that the Saqqara bird may represent
evidence that knowledge of the principles of aviation existed many centuries before
it was thought to have been first discovered. One thing is certain. This is another discovery
whose function, though thousands of years ahead in time, we do not fully understand. And,
what follows, we don't understand it at all... The Jed pillar and the Dendera light
In this part of the video, it's your turn to get involved. Let's travel back a few thousand years
to Egypt for a moment and reflect together. As we know the ancient Egyptians did not know
electricity at the time of the pyramids. How then do you explain the absence
of any traces of soot on the inner walls of tombs
and pyramids? If, as serious Egyptologists claim, the painters used fire torches and oil
lamps to paint the walls inside the chambers, then obviously there must have been traces of
soot left behind..., at least a tiny bit. However, such traces do not exist anywhere,
not even in the most secluded halls. In your opinion, how would it then be possible
to continue building from the inside without light? But, the more important question is how
would it have been possible to produce the magnificent frescoes on the walls.
There is a hypothesis that tries to explain this mystery by saying that mirrors were used.
However, this hypothesis is extremely untenable for the simple reason that
the official position of scholars of the time was that mirrors were actually made of silver.
But a silver mirror reflects less than half the light that falls on it.
Imagine the transmission of light down the pyramids' intricate and long corridors.
After the third mirror, you'll barely be able to see where you're stepping anymore,
let alone paint and craft precise bas-reliefs on the monolithic rock.
All of which brings us to the inexplicable to science - Jet's Pillar and Dendera's Lamps
The possibility that the ancient Egyptians knew electricity is attested to by St.
Augustine, in the late 4th century AD. In one of his writings, he describes an
amazing lamp in the temple of Isis that "neither wind nor water" could extinguish. Another ancient
philosopher, Plutarch, also mentions a lamp that burned at the entrance to the temple
of the god Amun Ra. The priests claimed that it had not been extinguished for several centuries.
A similar interpretation has been given to the unusual bas-relief
found on one of the walls in the temple of the goddess Hathor in the city of Dendera.
In his 1961 book Lost Technologies, Norwegian engineer Henry Kelson commented that in the
hands of the Egyptians was shown an incandescent lamp with an electrical cord, connecting this
device to something similar to a junction box. The leading specialist in the field of electrical
engineering V. Harn expresses the opinion that the so-called Jed poles, which hold the
"transparent bulbs" - that is, the bulbs, very much resemble modern high-voltage insulators.
However, let us begin our analysis with the Ka character before moving on to Jed's pillar.
In ancient Egyptian religion, the Ka represents the spirit of man personified
with divine power of the highest order and is closely related to his physical form.
After a person's death, the Ka lives on in his tomb.
It is depicted with its hands raised upwards. It is important to note that ancient Egyptian
inscriptions are meaning-based. In analyzing the bas-reliefs, especially those with Jed,
we notice that in one picture, Ka is supporting a snake with Jed's top, and in the other,
a flask with his middle. Rejecting the mysticism, we can interpret this in more practical terms.
Thus the following picture emerges: the energy from the top of the Jedi maintains the discharge,
while the energy from the middle drives the bulb of the lamp, analogous to the
modern division of anode and cathode. In terms of megalithic energy theory,
the Jedd functions as a power source. According to this idea, it is a device
that takes power from a megalithic generator. This energy comes from the resonant vibrations
of the chemical bonds between the silicon and oxygen atoms in the substance's crystals. These
bonds, which are a major component in the structure of many minerals such as quartz,
allow the conversion of mechanical energy into electricity. Jedium converts this energy into
a stream of electrons that can be used for useful work, such as making a lamp glow.
Probably the most controversial element in the whole story for you too is the image of the "light
bulb". Well rest assured, even Egyptologists themselves don't know how to interpret it,
so don't expect us to explain it to you either. Science today refuses to acknowledge the existence
of the "knowledge" embedded in the megaliths. Science in ancient times, was interrelated
with religion. The priests who served the sacred cults were proficient in mathematics, astronomy,
anatomy, knew writing, and many other sciences. The "initiates" preserved the knowledge,
carefully passing on its meaning to their successors. But along with the destruction
of the existing organization of society, the religious foundations were also being destroyed.
The cults changed, and with them the symbols that held the great ancient secrets. Thus they
lost their original meaning, were replaced by new sacred content, and finally simply disappeared.
If these unexplained artifacts have confused you, you should know that they are nothing
compared to the New Discoveries in Egypt that have shocked scientists.
