I don't think that you have or will prove your point. Curious, yes, definite no.
I didn't make this thread trying to make a definitive point, to think that would be possible is insanity. It's clear some people can just totally shrug all these pictures off without a second thought, and that's fine.
Some people will[/] shrug off these images after a second thought because the images don't mean that much to them as they seem to do to you. It's only normal. They don't mean that much to me either because I've seen them all and one cannot in 2010 come to a conclusion about the unknown. One can only wonder and move on. But being a realist, I don't see any association with visitors from other parts of the universe since I don't accept such visitors in the first place, now or in the past.
You see helmets, suits, etc., where you don't know what the originals were. You post erroneous images because you didn't do enough research in the right places which explain what you show as something else
I did actually get many pictures from a skeptical source, they try to debunk a good portion of these paintings, but I find their logic to mostly be invalid. I'll just repeat a point I made previously:
A skeptical source has no power over the images. They are available from many sources, nonskeptical as well. For example: "There are some very strange hieroglyphics in the Temple of Osiris at Abydos.
These glyphs depict highly developed crafts, specifically a helicopter, a submarine, some form of flying saucer, and a jet plane. What are these inscriptions all about?" ... "SkinWalker04-24-07, 01:34 PM
I have thoroughly debunked that palimpsest in other places. Once this thread is moved to its appropriate forum (Pseudodscience), perhaps I'll repost that debunking.
Edit: what the hell... I'll re-post it here:
There's a very good explanation that we archaeologists understand very well: a palimpsest combined with pareidolia. This palimpsest pops up from time to time. What we see here isn't a single inscription but two or three. As different pharaohs took over, they frequently had inscriptions updated with a very simple method that 'erased' the previous inscription: they had their scribes fill in the old script with plaster and inscribe a new one.
The original, un-retouched palimpsest is here:

Here's an overlay of the two, and possibly three, different text layers. Each layer is translatable and has context.

This is the text in it's context with the pharaoh's cartouche to the left.

What the original text says is, "who repulses the Nine Bows" and the text that replaces it says, "who protects Egypt and overthrows the foreign countries." These are called titularies, or naming conventions of important people, in this case pharaohs. Specifically, the pharoahs in question are Seti I (for whom the first titulary of the palimpsest was dedicated to) and then his son and successor Ramesses II (for whom the second titulary of the palimpsest is dedicated).
The plaster of the palimpsest was eroded, probably by water leaking in through the ceiling. Notice, in the OP's first image the damaged ceiling and the direction of the damage is consistent with the eroded area of the palimpsest.
There are no "flying machines" in Egyptian antiquity. Sorry to disappoint the significance-junkies out there. But the mystery-mongers need not fret because the intricacies of the hows and whys of dynastic politics in Egypt's antiquity are many and little understood."
