Claims of finding “alien coins” in Egypt typically refer to:
- Hoaxes or Misinterpretations: Some instances have been debunked as photoshopped images of existing artifacts or misinterpretations of ancient Egyptian art or hieroglyphs. For example, a supposed “alien coin” was revealed to be a doctored image of a Roman medallion.
- Artistic Representations and Modern Creations: You can find modern coins or medallions created with alien themes and Egyptian imagery, but these are clearly marked as such and are not considered ancient artifacts.
It’s important to remember that mainstream archaeology and history do not support the existence of such “alien coins” as genuine evidence of extraterrestrial contact. However, the notion of ancient Egyptians having had contact with beings from other worlds has long been a subject of fascination, [according to Facebook].
What is the oldest coin in Egypt?
Thanks for asking. The gold stater (Egyptian: nfr-nb, “Nefer-nub”, meaning “fine gold”) was the first coin ever minted in ancient Egypt, around 360 BC during the reign of pharaoh Teos of the 30th Dynasty.
