In an unbelievable find, historians stumbled upon a document of space flight instructions which was said to belong to the 16th century.

According to historians, Austrian military engineer Conrad Haas had written the Sibiu Manuscript in the 16th century.

Haas lived from 1509 to 1576 and was always ahead of his time. He has been credited as the first person to document&nbsp;the theories related to multi-stage rockets.

The 450-page document was originally written in German and has detailed mentions of artillery and ballistics.

Historians have verified the document; however, very few people are aware of its existence. In the document, Haas talked about rocket science, including weapons and fireworks.

<h2>How was the manuscript discovered?</h2>

In 1961, Professor Doru Todericiu of Science and Technology at the University of Bucharest discovered the manuscript of Haas in the State Archives of Sibiu and this is how the document got its name.

In the Sibiu Manuscript, the illustrations were very accurate and the plans regarding the multi-stage rockets created by Haas were very advanced for the 16th century.

In the manuscript, &nbsp;a cylinder-shaped thrust chamber is illustrated, which is filled with powder fuel and has a conical hole for increasing the combustion area gradually.

Before the historians found the Sibiu Manuscript, it was believed that Kazimierz Siemienowicz wrote the first detailed description of the three-stage rocket.&nbsp;

Kazimierz Siemienowicz was born in the Raseiniai region of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and served in the armies of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

In 1650, he wrote a treatise, Artis Magnae Artilleriae, which discussed rocketry and pyrotechnics.

Haas also wrote a warning regarding the military use of rockets in the manuscript.&nbsp;

The warning's English translation read, “But my advice is for more peace and no war, leaving the rifles calmly in storage, so the bullet is not fired, the gunpowder is not burned or wet, so the prince keeps his money, the arsenal master his life; that is the advice Conrad Haas gives.”

The document is an accurate example of how humans advanced in the realm of science and technology.
