Helicopter hieroglyphs
Egyptian palimpsest inscription misinterpreted as depicting a helicopter
Helicopter hieroglyphs
The helicopter hieroglyphs is a name given to part of an Egyptian hieroglyph carving from the Temple of Seti I at Abydos. It is a palimpsest relief with two overlapping inscriptions, the titles of Ramesses II superimposed on those of his father and predecessor Seti I. They have been wrongly interpreted as an out-of-place artifact depicting a helicopter and other examples of advanced technology, in pseudo-scientific ancient astronaut circles. The "helicopter", a product of pareidolia, is made up of a bow hieroglyph of Seti I, and two arm hieroglyphs of Ramesses II.
