helicopter hieroglyph

[paintballmarshal]

Throughout history there have been many people that claim to have seen future events. Nearly every religion has examples of them. Nostradamus being the most famous. Perhaps an acient egyptian saw these futuristic crafts and decided to share his vision. Or perhaps they were flying around in helicopters made of natural materials that have since decomposed or been recycled by future generations. Could a small hellicopter be powered by people cycling to turn the rotor blades. Perhaps the apache design was created after the hieroglyph was discovered and copied by our modern scientists. I would like to hear other peoples views on these ideas.

The ancient Egyptians certainly had the visions of planes. These have been found in tombs dating back 3,000 years and are currently in the Cairo Antiquities Museum. They certainly had the vision yet I doubt if they were brought to fruition and actually flew.

the fact that those artifacts are aerodynamically correct would suggest that they did have the technology to fly. the egyptians used to make models of their tecnologies and so it seems more likely than not that they made a full scale version. perhaps only used as a glider pulled by horses to lift it into the sky in order to survey the area when building their monuments. no one can explain how the pyramids were built with the level of technology that we believe that they had. just because we dont have proof of the technology that does not mean that they did not have it. there is plenty of evidence that the pyramds were built to mimic the stars in constellations. such placement could only have been accurate if viewed from the sky.

The gold one is from ancient Americas, not ancient Egypt. It is categorized as a zoomorph, not an airplane.

I have to agree with you. The alignment of the Pyramids with Constellations in precision is still baffling to this day. The artifacts found have only ever been small models that some Historians claim were childrens toys, yet they were not found in childrens tombs. I just wonder that with the discovery of so much Ancient Egyptian Artifacts, should a full scale model ever have been made, some relics could have been discovered by now. That is of course, Unless they were made purely of wood similar to the Mosquito war plane and bio-degraded over time.

My mistake... Thanks Chons

there are many simarlarities between the ancient south american civilisations and the ancient egyptians. perhaps they flew over from peru and settled on the nile

The glyph systems are totally different-only thing remotely similar are the Olmec heads. And the similarity is with sub-Saharan Africa. But it is there.

Khipus-totally unique, another system of communication not via writing. I do not think there is anything similar in another culture, but then, it is an artifact that would disappear easily. (being made out of natural materials)

Stranger things have happened There is much recorded belief of alien visitation dating back to cave drawings in North Africa to the Mayans and Aztecs. It was not just the Ancient Egyptians. My own fascination has always been with Akhenaten who after thousands of years denounced land gods and worshiped the sun. Did he see something come from the skies?

both cultures built pyramid structures that have lasted for thousands of years. and both were sun worshippers. both cultures mummified their dead as well. is it all just coincidence?
