Sibiu Manuscript: A Forgotten Document on 16th Century Space Flight (video)


 

 

This video explores the extraordinary Sibiu Manuscript, discovered in Romania in 1961. Written by 16th century Austrian military engineer Conrad Haas, the manuscript contains detailed descriptions of rocketry concepts long before their time.

Haas, who lived between 1509 and 1576, is credited as the first to document ideas like multi-stage rockets, spacecraft designs, and even liquid fuel propulsion. The 450-page manuscript includes technical data on artillery, ballistics, and a mysterious potential rocket launch from 1550 in Sibiu, Romania.

Could these ancient manuscripts prove that humanity’s technological knowledge was more advanced than we ever imagined?
