Summary

Welcome to Brief Encounters, where history’s strangest moments collide with the unexplained. In the land of pyramids and pharaohs, the gods didn’t just walk among the people. They flew, carried on golden boats that soared through the sky, wielding power from the stars, and watched over by beings with the heads of falcons. For centuries, archaeologists have marveled at the engineering of Ancient Egypt.
But there’s something else here, hidden in temple walls, in myths, and in carvings that don't quite belong. Some say these are symbols of faith. Others say they’re evidence of contact.
