Egypt. Discovered 'remains of extraterrestrial civilization'?

Social media posts have been sharing an image of an alien-like figure carved into rock, claiming that "remains of an extraterrestrial civilization" have been discovered in Egypt. This is false information. The image in question is not a recent archaeological discovery, but rather a piece of art carved by humans, likely an ancient artifact created for decorative or symbolic purposes. Experts explain that the figure represents a human artistic representation, not evidence of extraterrestrial life. The misinformation went viral as if it were an archaeological novelty, when in reality it is nothing more than an unfounded claim.
