'Horrifying' 5,000-year-old manuscript found in Egyptian tomb predicts future
A 5000 year old manuscript discovered in an Egyptian tomb is filled with enigmatic messages, leading scholars to believe the ancient civilisation was predicting catastrophic events that could end civilisation and speculating about the cosmic significance of the universe.
The book, which is allegedly connected to the mythical Book of Enoch, contains supposed knowledge about the origins of humanity and information that could serve as a prophecy, according to Medium.
Archaeologists found the manuscript sealed within a deep Egyptian tomb, with workers coming across the manuscript near the historic burial grounds in Saqqara during an archaeological excavation. However, experts regard it as a significant breakthrough in archaeology containing a deeply disturbing message.
The artefact predates major Egyptian dynasties and features both hieratic and early hieroglyphic writing, puzzling experts in the field. The specialised symbols in this ancient document are proving difficult for modern-day scientists to decipher.
However, researchers are confident the writings contain at least one terrifying truth. This is the assertion that humans are at the mercy of hidden cosmic powers guiding them through an inevitable cycle of fate, reports the Mirror US.
The text warns that dishonourable people may face a grim fate beyond death and their eternal rest could be anything but peaceful. It also claims that every human action plays a role in determining our destiny.
The sensational find, complete with ancient Egyptian artefacts like the haunting skulls of mummified corpses and enigmatic energy patterns, has left modern-day scholars transfixed – especially by the "screaming mummy" with its terrifying visage.
This revelation could unlock secrets of how Ancient Egyptian societies functioned and crucial human survival tactics.
Full of cautionary tales about bygone calamities, the book bristles with hidden symbology and secret missives warning of impending doom should historical trends continue unchecked.
As per the manuscript, we're on course to emulate dictating cycles foretold by the Ancient Egyptians, experts in cosmic understanding – a stark alert against neglecting such wisdom. These ancestral admonitions resonate through the ages, imploring us to break free from our self-destructive ways or face dire consequences.
Our species seems doomed to replicate errors that could spell our undoing, all flagged within this ancient script. By turning a blind eye, history may well repeat itself to devastating effect.
Meanwhile, research into this groundbreaking find forges ahead, with advanced technology like state-of-the-art imaging and AI translation unveiling fresh clues that could offer unprecedented glimpses into this enigmatic document.
The discovery of new data could completely change our understanding of prehistoric human societies, including their religious and philosophical beliefs. Any discovered manuscripts related to this subject could reveal hidden knowledge, potentially leading to significant changes in our understanding of history.

Mysteries of 2,300-year-old mummy Bashiri ‘The Untouchable' revealed after researchers refused to unwrap ancient fabric
MODERN technology has helped shed further light on an Ancient Egyptian mystery after spending millennia under wraps. The Bashiri Mummy, also known as the "untouchable one", has long remained unravelled - as researchers have feared causing damage to the intricately wrapped fabric. 5 5 5 It is believed by some sources that Egyptologist Howard Carter discovered this mummy in the Valley of the Kings. This is the same area he would famously go on to uncover King Tutankhamun's tomb. But according to Discover magazine, the most that is known for sure is that the "untouchable one" was found, but that no researchers have dared attempt to unfurl its cloth. Prior to the invention of X-ray and CT scanners, people would unwrap these ancient mummies to study them - causing severe damage. New technology has lessened the need for such methods of study, allowing researchers to learn more about ancient artefacts while inflicting less harm on them. It brings them one step closer to understanding the mysteries of the Bashiri Mummy. The untouchable one's face wrappings are said to be unique, featuring a pattern resembling the base of a pyramid. According to the American Museum of Natural History, "In the past, the only way to learn about a mummy was to unwrap it. "But this widespread practice destroyed the mummy, often detaching body parts." Scans have now revealed fresh details about the mummy. Researchers have established that the Bashiri Mummy would have been an adult man who stood about 5.5 feet tall. He would have lived in the Ptolemaic Era - which spanned from 305 BC to 30 BC. This makes the mummy around a staggering 2,300 years old. The X-ray scan also showed an inscription of the man's name, according to the Egypt Museum. However, it is not fully clear if Pacheri or Nenu are written, leaving some mysteries around the mummy still unresolved. The museum added that the mummy's encasement was decorated with "various scenes arranged in registers, notably the mummy lying on a bed, surrounded by the goddesses Isis and Nephtys, and the four sons of Horus." "Finally, the casing around the feet has two images of the funerary god Anubis," it adds. It is not the only incredible discovery of the Ancient World unveiled in recent weeks. A network of dimly lit tunnels under Rome's Capitoline Hill could soon become the city's latest tourist hot spot. The secret underground city covers some 42,000 square feet under the Ancient Roman Forum - and reaches depths of 985 feet below the surface. It is expected to be open for visitors from late 2026 or early 2027, CNN has reported. 5 5

Disturbing Ancient Egyptian graves reveal brutal treatment of corpses 5,000 years ago including shock teen girl's burial
The girl's body was carefully aligned with the setting sun on the winter solstice, while her coffin also pointed towards the rising of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ARCHAEOLOGISTS have uncovered a disturbing Ancient Egyptian burial practice that saw people dismembered before being put to rest. The discovery offers a rare insight into the spiritual life of villagers more than 5,000 years ago - and may even mark the beginning of religion for the ancient pharaohs.

The study suggests these early burials shaped the mythology later adopted by Egypt's ruling elite - from their sky-based alignments to their ritual gestures, such as dismemberment. Older graves were placed around earlier, astronomically-aligned tombs, suggesting those burials held continued to hold religious or ancestral significance over the years. Ivory boat models and fine coffins were found with remains researchers believed once belonged to individuals of higher status or spiritual importance. Similar to the dismemberment, a singular bone belonging to a child was found placed on the chest of an adult in a later tomb. In the myth of Osiris, Isis gathers the scattered body parts of her murdered husband after he is slain by his jealous brother, Set. "Sepdet, which we know as Sirius, was believed to be the appearance of Isis in the sky," the study said. "When the state emerged, it did not create religion from scratch. "It absorbed long-standing practices and reworked them into royal narratives."

Shocking Ancient Egypt burial reveals unthinkable acts carried out on corpses after death
Archaeologists have uncovered disturbing burial practices of ancient Egyptians, offering rare insight into the spiritual life of villagers more than 5,000 years ago. Among the most striking discoveries was the body of a teenage girl buried in the Adaiima cemetery near the Nile River, dating back to 3300 to 2700BC. Her arm had been deliberately severed post-mortem near the lower part of the upper arm and forearm, possibly done using an axe, and the muscles were likely sliced with a flint blade. Those who prepared her body carefully arranged the severed pieces to appear almost intact, placing the hand beside the forearm. Archaeologists said that it seemed the goal was to make the cut-off right arm match the unusual position of her left arm, which was bent sharply, more than a right angle, and tucked in very tightly. The girl's body was also carefully aligned with the setting sun on the winter solstice, and her coffin pointed toward the rising of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Experts suggest her burial may be the earliest sign of the Osiris and Isis myth, in which the goddess Isis reassembles the dismembered body of Osiris beneath the rising Sirius, symbolizing death, rebirth, and cosmic order. According to the study, these early star-based alignments and symbolic gestures likely influenced the religious traditions later embraced by Egypt's first pharaohs, who emerged roughly 100 to 400 years later. Researchers used AI and machine learning to analyze patterns among more than 900 tombs in the 74-acre Adaïma site, one of Egypt's oldest and most thoroughly studied cemeteries. Their findings revealed long-term cultural shifts in funerary customs, including the gradual emergence of social hierarchies and spiritual symbolism. Another woman was found buried nearby with ornate jewelry and pottery, her coffin positioned to capture the winter sun. A third grave held a woman with a ceremonial staff and plant-fiber wig, facing the summer sunset. These early sky-based alignments and ritual gestures appear to have shaped the mythology later adopted by Egypt's ruling elite, according to the study. Later graves were often clustered around earlier, astronomically-aligned tombs, suggesting those burials held enduring religious or ancestral significance. Some included ivory boat models and fine coffins, likely marking individuals of higher status or spiritual importance. One child's bone was found placed on an adult's chest, while a woman was buried with a bracelet fragment in her hand, actions interpreted as deliberate expressions of spiritual beliefs and afterlife connections. In the myth of Osiris, Isis gathers the scattered body parts of her murdered husband after he is slain by his jealous brother, Set. Using magic, she brings him back to life briefly to conceive their son Horus. The tale, symbolizing resurrection, was closely tied to the annual Nile flood and cycles of renewal. According to another study on ancient Egyptian astronomy, 'The Nile flood was caused by the tears that Isis shed, after his brother Seth murdered her husband Osiris.' 'Sepdet, which we know as Sirius, was believed to be the appearance of Isis in the sky,' the study stated. These early rural burial practices, including cut limbs and celestial alignment, appear to have laid the foundation for Egypt's later religious and mythological traditions. 'When the state emerged, it did not create religion from scratch,' the researchers wrote. 'It absorbed long-standing practices and reworked them into royal narratives.'
