We are all familiar with Airplanes. Also that the famous Orville and Wilbur, the Wright brothers invented the world's first airplane in 1903. As remarkable as the invention was, i believe a few details have been turned a deaf ear towards.
Like this - THE SAQQARA BIRD of Egypt.
It was an artifact that resembled a bird and made of sycamore wood. It was discovered during an excavation of Pal-di-Imen's Tomb at Saqqara in 1898.
It was placed besides a manuscript which read "I want to fly" written in hieroglyph.
To an untrained eye, the model looks merely an artifact made to resemble a bird.
The object dates back to 200 BC. when even the idea of flying machines would be considered preposterous.
If looked at closely, It is PERFECTLY AERODYNAMIC. Capable of flight.
According to Egyptian physician, archaeologist, parapsychologist and dowser -Khalil Messiha, it is a miniature model of a Flying Machine that may still be somewhere in Egypt.
The model seems to be a representation of a bird, but if you look at its tail it is kind of inaccurate. considering that tails of real birds are horizontal rather than vertical. Very much identical to modern day planes which use a vertical tail. Also the wings are at an angle similar to planes nowadays.
Researchers claimed to make it airborne with just one tweak.
Look closely at the tail of the bird and you might see a dent at the top end.
The originally discovered model had just a vertical tail.
In 2006, Aerospace engineer, Simon Sanderson created a replica of the saqqara bird and tested it for flight. It couldn't fly because it could not create a aerodynamic lift as it lacked a horizontal tailend. when a tailend was fixed to it, surprisingly the model flew. Actually flew.
How could have these ancient civilizations acquired the knowledge of aerodynamics?
Even if they did, Why didn't they leave records of it?
Is it that they were given this knowledge by someone else?
