Scientists decode 'cosmic message' for humanity left hiding in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs
People are constantly searching for signs of life beyond our planet, yet scientists might just have managed to decipher a message that has been hidden in the Egyptian desert for thousands of years that some claim originates from the 'cosmos'.
Interactions with alien life aren't just limited to UFO sightings and mysterious encounters, as many people spend their whole lives searching for traces that extraterrestrials might have left upon their visits to Earth.
Some are even as significant as gigantic faces carved into the side of hidden mountains, yet other seemingly remain hidden from even the most ardent of alien hunters for centuries or even millennia.
One such of these discoveries might just have been found though, as scientists claim to have uncovered a potentially significant 'cosmic message' trapped in an ancient language.

As shared by the Daily Galaxy, researchers have manage to locate a massive line of ancient hieroglyphs carved into a rock near the village of El-Khawy in southern Egypt, and some have claimed that it was left by an alien life force.
Initially the most significant aspect of this discovery is the fact that it's the oldest large-scale line of ancient symbols ever found – dating back over 5,000 years in total – but upon their translation a more significant meaning is revealed.
While it's taken several millennia for humans to find this message, it's purpose was seemingly to be seen as the symbols themselves were deliberately big and bold.
Researchers from Yale University and the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels have estimated that it contains a link between Egypt's first rulers and cosmic order, hinting that it was their responsibility to keep the universe in balance.
"This newly discovered rock art site of El-Khawy preserves some of the earliest – and largest – signs from the formative stages of hieroglyphic script and provides evidence for how the ancient Egyptians invented their unique writing system," John Darnell, an archaeologist at Yale, explains.
Upon the encryption you'll be able to see four separate carvings. The first appears to be a bull's head on a pole, alongside two storks facing away from each other, and finally a bald ibis in between the pair.
The bull's head reportedly links to royal power, whereas the triplet of birds likely relates to the solar cycle, forging the connection between these influential figures and cosmic entities.
Their size is likely purposeful in projecting this message and connection not only to anyone who would pass by thousands of years ago, but also presumably to the rest of the universe, sending a sign to anything that might be looking down from above.
