The Papyrus Tulli: An Egyptian Record of “Fiery Discs”
One of the most cited texts allegedly documenting extraterrestrial sightings is the Papyrus Tulli. Discovered in the early 20th century and linked to Alberto Tulli, a former director of the Egyptian Museum in the Vatican, this papyrus describes luminous, disc-like objects observed in the sky during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III around 1480 BC. These “discs of fire” reportedly terrified the Egyptians, emitting light and noise as they hovered. While the authenticity of the papyrus is debated, the document remains a focal point for those studying potential ancient encounters with otherworldly beings.
The Codex Gigas: The “Devil’s Bible” and Its Cosmic Mysteries
The Codex Gigas, also known as the Devil’s Bible, is a massive 13th-century manuscript filled with perplexing details, including a full-page illustration of the devil and surprisingly advanced astronomical maps for its time. Some theorists suggest that the knowledge within may have extraterrestrial origins, proposing that advanced scientific information could have been transmitted by alien civilizations. According to legend, a monk completed the book in a single night with the devil’s assistance, adding another layer of mystery to this ancient text.
The Civilization of Jiroft: Strange Artifacts from an Ancient Culture
Artifacts discovered in Jiroft, Iran, depict creatures with elongated heads and large eyes—features strikingly similar to modern depictions of aliens. Pottery and stone carvings dating back over 5,000 years feature these beings alongside complex symbols, adding a layer of mystery to this ancient civilization.

The Venus of Willendorf: An Ancient Symbol of Fertility—or Something More?
The Venus of Willendorf, a small, detailed figurine of a curvaceous woman, was discovered in Austria in 1908 and dates back around 25,000–28,000 years. Her exaggerated features are thought to symbolize fertility, yet some researchers ponder whether the figurine’s craftsmanship could suggest a deeper, possibly cosmic influence on early human art. While the Venus of Willendorf lacks direct alien connections, her creation raises questions about the symbolic language of ancient art and what, if anything, early humans knew about beings beyond Earth.
