Papyrus Tulli: The Mystery of UFOs in Ancient Egypt

The Papyrus Tulli was first made known through the story of Alberto Tulli, an Italian Egyptologist, in the mid-20th century. Tulli reportedly discovered this document at an antiques market in Cairo. For financial reasons, he only made a copy of the text instead of purchasing the original. This copy was later deciphered and translated by researcher R. Cedric Leonard, who stated that the Papyrus Tulli recounts an unusual event: “circles of fire” that appeared in the sky of Egypt, causing commotion among the population and the royal court.

The content of the translation describes that, on one day in the 22nd year of the reign of Thutmose III, “circles of fire” appeared in the eastern sky. These were described as objects that emitted intense light, made no noise and moved at high speed. These objects stopped over the pharaoh’s palace, generating fear among the population. After a while, they flew north, leaving “a sweet aroma” in the air.

The document also highlights that the pharaoh ordered this event to be recorded for storage in the royal archives, showing the importance of the phenomenon for the court. However, the Papyrus Tulli is not currently preserved in any museum and only exists through copies. This has led to numerous doubts about the authenticity of the document.

Scientists and historians have proposed several theories about the Papyrus Tulli. Some suggest that it could be a description of a natural phenomenon, such as a meteor shower or a solar eclipse, misinterpreted within the religious and cultural context of the time. Others theorize that this is one of the oldest records of UFOs, with details such as unusual movements and intense lights that are difficult to explain by natural phenomena.

However, not everyone agrees with these theories. Some critics suspect that the Papyrus Tulli could be a modern fake, created to satisfy the public’s curiosity about UFO phenomena. They point out that there is no verified original copy of the document and that all information is based on copies of unknown origin. The lack of physical evidence has reduced the credibility of Papyrus Tulli within the mainstream scientific community.

Despite the controversies, modern researchers have not abandoned the search for answers about Papyrus Tulli. Several plans have been proposed to investigate further, including searching for similar documents in ancient Egyptian archives or more rigorous analysis of existing copies. Additionally, scientists are considering using modern technologies to analyze the grammar and structure of the text in order to determine the era in which it was written.

Future research will require interdisciplinary collaboration, spanning archaeology, astronomy and the study of ancient texts. With modern tools and a scientific approach, new findings are expected to emerge that shed light on the mystery of the Papyrus Tulli, a special record that could contain answers to unresolved questions about the history of humanity and UFO phenomena.
