“In the year 22, of the third month of winter, sixth hour of the day the scribes of the House of Life found that a strange Fiery Disk was coming in the sky. It had no head. The breath of its mouth emitted a foul odor. Its body was one rod in length and one rod in width. It had no voice. It came toward His Majesty’s house. Their heart became confused through it, and they fell upon their bellies. They [went] to the king, to report it. His Majesty [ordered that] the scrolls [located] in the House of Life be consulted. His Majesty meditated on all these events which were now going on.
After several days had passed, they became more numerous in the sky than ever. They shined in the sky more than the brightness of the sun, and extended to the limits of the four supports of heaven […]
Eze 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
Eze 1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
Eze 1:8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
Eze 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
In summary, the Tulli Papyrus is not a papyrus, but rather a translation of a modern transcription of an alleged Egyptian document, the location of which is currently unknown, and has only been reported by one individual (i.e., de Rachewiltz). No scientific analysis can be made without examining the original for authenticity. The so-called 'circles of fire' might possibly be explained by natural phenomena; however Leonard's preferred rendering 'fiery disks' makes this interpretation a little more problematic.
In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5 a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many men and women.
At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone. In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes.
These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth ‘as if they all burned’ and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke. After all this there was something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west.
Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. Although we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness. After all, the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily here and perpetually there, live as his children. For it, may God grant us his help, Amen.

So if it doesn't come to your personal conclusion, then it's corrupted? Indeed, we ought to follow the practice of "we don't know, therefore aliens." Or in the case of the Tulli Papyrus, taking the word of a source that cannot be found and has never been properly studied.
I don't know where your accusation of ignoring the Piri Reis map comes from, you can find it on many scholarly sites. This goes into detail that you may find too mundane, compared to aliens.

What is imagination and what is reality? Its a question asked by humans through out time. Sometimes the answer is obvious and sometimes its not.
There is one question however we always are fascinated by;" Are we alone in the Universe? "
Is there intelligent life on other planets? Are we alone? Science thinks there are numerous intelligent civilisations, but the distant is to wast for us to ever visit and even a visit from them is considered, well, impossible. Well that is if you believe the experts.
But where do these flying saucers come from? These UFO, and the thousands of reports from every corner of the world. Many of the cases cant be explained is it fantasy or reality?
Welcome to the world of my mysteries of the past, let the journey begin.

Into reality!
Let's see, what is imagination? It is the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses. In other words, it's all in your mind.
Let's see, what is reality? It is the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them. In other words, outside of your mind.
Thinking about holding a cup of coffee is imagination. Actually holding a cup of coffee is reality.
Yes, we are alone in the universe since there is no irrefutable evidence to prove otherwise. You can fantasize all you want and that's your imagination. But, so far, we're it.
It doesn't matter if science thinks there are numerous intelligent civilizations, they do not have one iota of evidence to support their "thinking". Science strives for results. No results yet.
Now you bring in UFOs and it's something we can dig our hands into, but from a distance. We don't know what they are, what they're made of, if there are beings inside them or they're ROVs, where they go when we don't see them, why they are here, yappity yap. And since there are no UFO experts (that's right Mr Friedman) there is no one to go to for answers. We have no concept of what could happen if we ever interacted with beings other than humans. You can theorize 'til you turn blue in the face and you'll wind up with only a blue face.
Nothing from the past can categorically be used as evidence. There are some fascinating images but no hardware or reliable written records disclosing any knowledge. At the rate things are going I'm going to leave this physical reality with nothing but unanswered questions. Ciao.

Oh puhleaze. Mainstream archaeology is so corrupted it's pathetic. You people can't even explain the Piri Reis map, so you just freaking ignore it. Please go spread the mainstream propaganda elsewhere...

I think the corruption idea comes from the adherence to an anti e.t., highly skeptical paradigm. Its as if people including many supposedly credible individuals are willingly and unknowingly supporting a suppression of a paradigm where our civilization acknowleges the existence of other intelligent species in our galaxy.
I mean some of the smartest people i know are in absolute denial. They know about critical thinking, yet when i argue the topic with them, no amount of evidence is "good enough". Millions of people throughout history become "easily dismissable" and the denialism becomes gross in its application.
Im sorry, but there are mountains of evidence. My conclusion is that these other species are purposely trying to avoid our acknowlegement of their existence until we are "ready" as a civ. Probably some kind of galactic protocol. However, from our side, we have people unknowingly and knowingly obfuscating the truth, motivated by their own fear and ignorance on the subject, or ingrained beliefs by years of anti e.t. propaganda or "training" aka brain washing.
In addition, the degree of apathy by many towards the subject is laughable. Many try to derail conversations about the subject with the now classic "well it doesnt affect my life so why do i care?"
Of course it affects your life! If "they" exist and are here we have everything from potentially amazing knowledge and technology that we can acquire from them through legitimate means, not to mention that some of our space neighbors could represent a global threat. Thats pretty #ing important, so the argument that this subject has no real merit or importance is an absolute deception and represents total lack of basic reasoning.
As more and more evidence surfaces the truth will be as an exploding star in our faces.
My conclusion is that these other species are purposely trying to avoid our acknowlegement of their existence until we are "ready" as a civ. Probably some kind of galactic protocol.
You can go overboard with Graham Hancock, von Daniken, etc., or you can get some decent history here:
