The claim of a “colossal alien being” being discovered in an archaeological dig in Egypt is a fictional and sensationalized hoax. This story has no basis in scientific or archaeological reality. It is a recurring piece of misinformation that plays on popular “ancient alien” theories, which frequently misinterpret the advanced technology and mythological beliefs of ancient civilizations. There have been no credible reports from any government, scientific body, or reputable archaeological team to support such an extraordinary claim.

While no alien beings have been found, the world of Egyptian archaeology is full of genuine discoveries that are truly colossal and have a fascinating connection to the heavens. In 2017, for instance, archaeologists made a stunning discovery in a Cairo slum: a massive statue head, torso, and other fragments of a colossal statue believed to be of Ramses II, one of ancient Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. The excavation and reassembly of this immense statue were a groundbreaking feat of modern archaeology and a true “colossal” find.

The only verifiable “extraterrestrial contact” in ancient Egypt comes not from a creature, but from a material. The famous dagger found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun was discovered to have a blade made from meteoric iron. This material, which would have been incredibly rare and valuable at the time, shows that the ancient Egyptians had the technological skill to recognize and work with a metal that fell from space. These real discoveries are far more profound and valuable to our understanding of the past than any fictional tale of alien beings.
