Ancient golden planes of the Tayrona Indians. Colombian planes

This is the famous ancient golden airplane from Colombia.
Gold decoration, made by the ancient Incas or those who came before them.

More precisely, as they say nowadays, not a “golden airplane”, but a golden object similar to an airplane.

Well, similar and similar.
So what?
You need to worry
when the neighbor's child looks like you. Yes, this is a problem.

And here the golden bird looks like an airplane. Amazing.
And in the neighboring garden the scarecrow looks very much like its neighbor.

Moreover, they are even dressed very similar. However, the scarecrow is not a neighbor, despite all the similarities.
Although, of course, for some, the neighbor was still a scarecrow, but this is no longer relevant to our story.

But there are lovers of fairy tales.

I myself am a lover of fairy tales and fantasies, but the main thing is to never mix them with reality.

It is necessary to keep strictly separate - fairy tales and reality.
And then, and only then, everything will be fine.
And if you mix it, it will be very bad.
Like mixing vodka with beer and strawberries with herring.

But no.
Some want to prove that fairy tales are reality.

Then I watched a video from the series “rip off all the veils from history, from geography and from everything that comes to hand.”
And they (the pickers) are not worried that if they throw off all their covers, they will walk around naked.

How are they going to rip the covers off history?

But it turns out that this is not just a golden bird from Colombia that looks like an airplane.
This is the plane.

It turns out that one such “airplane” easily and irrefutably proves that, it turns out, before the Incas South America there was a highly developed civilization that only built life-size airplanes like this. Then we must look for ancient airfields for them. And the first candidate, as is obvious, is the Nazca Plateau, located just nearby.

The logic is completely sick.
1. After all, even if, for example, a shabby workshop in Shanghai spends its entire life making figurines of flying dragons, this does not prove at all that such dragons were found there.

2. After all, according to their logic, it turns out that if our workshop made nesting dolls, then these kind of nesting dolls, only real ones, were found in our area in ancient times.
They jumped out of each other so joyfully. An ancient civilization, everything is possible.
There was an ancient civilization that grew these nesting dolls. And the current civilization has forgotten how.

And these guys wanted to “make a fairy tale come true” in literally.

They took and made an exact enlarged copy of this golden airplane. It's a pity that it's not made of gold.
Then they installed an engine, radio control, and so on in this airplane. It is possible that all this was created according to the drawings of the ancient Incas.
Especially, of course, radio control.

And then this airplane took off!
Incredible!
But I myself saw in the video that the airplane flew.
True, unlike them, I was not at all surprised.

What surprised me most was their logic.
They definitely decided that if an enlarged copy of the airplane flew, then this clearly proves that there were ancient builders of flying airplanes before the Incas!

But this is surprising.
Why did they decide that the main thing was the shape of the airplane? And after all smart people. One of them is actually a professional pilot.

And they decided so solely because they really wanted to.
The most important thing here is the idea.
And only then we bring the facts to this idea.

Their logic is clear: the main thing is to turn fantasy into facts at any cost.

But ordinary (I agree - much more boring) logic says:
- From the fact that you took an ancient bird, made a model out of it, and the model flew, absolutely nothing (well, absolutely nothing) follows.

It only follows that the guys installed a good engine and correctly assembled the insides of the model.

These craftsmen can easily take a plasticine woodpecker right now, which children love kindergarten do.
Make it exact copy.
Give the woodpecker a motor.
And this woodpecker will fly. I am sure that with a good engine, a woodpecker and even a dragon can fly.

And what?
According to their logic:
- Doesn't this prove the existence of flying woodpeckers?

Of course it proves it, because many have seen woodpeckers flying.

If these guys make a model of a dragon and install a good motor and radio control, then the dragon will fly.

But does this clearly prove the existence of dragons and ancient civilizations that domesticated these dragons?

I myself really love fairy tales. But all my life I have strived to clearly distinguish fairy tales and fiction from real reality.

If you make a real model out of a Colombian airplane and put modern components in it, including a motor and radio control, then, of course, the airplane will fly.

If you make a real model of the Egyptian Sphinx with a motor, of course, the Sphinx will run.
If you make a woodpecker with a motor, it will fly.

But only woodpeckers with a motor will believe that this somehow proves the existence of an ancient pre-Inca civilization that made airplanes or woodpeckers with a motor.

And only woodpeckers will believe in the existence of sphinxes if you make a running sphinx with a motor.

Here's a heaping new artifact (I discovered it while excavating my niece's toy box):

Based on this artifact, future archaeologists will say that on the territory of St. Petersburg there was ancient civilization, which made such self-propelled vehicles with perpetual motion. But then this knowledge was lost. And they hide the truth from us.

But I won’t hide that ill-fated video:
https://youtu.be/PMiBRr1_HFs?t=2
And the title is appropriate, no less than “Forbidden History. Real story human civilization."

Here it is, it turns out it’s a real story!

The so-called “Colombian golden airplanes” are known much more than Egyptian models. The name is very arbitrary, since they were found not only in Colombia, but also in Venezuela, Costa Rica and Peru. And they are not made of gold, but of tombak - an alloy of gold and copper, in which copper is about 30%, which gives them beautiful color shades.

However, this name still has some basis, since the first of these models were discovered during one of the archaeological expeditions in the 19th century precisely on the territory of Colombia. These finds were transferred to the State Bank of Colombia, where they appeared in catalogs as “zoomorphic figurines.” However, this is understandable - at that time there were no airplanes, and the models themselves looked like living creatures with eyes, teeth, scales carved into the body and other attributes of living creatures, so everyone associated them with strange animals that could become extinct in a few more years hundreds of years ago, but not with airplanes.

Archaeologists associate the origin of these products with the local Quimbaya culture, which arose around the 1st century AD, flourished during the 4th-7th centuries, and completely disappeared around the 10th century for unknown reasons. Although there is a version that these finds were created by representatives of another local culture - the Tolima culture, which existed around the same time.

Nowadays, more than three dozen such “zoomorphic figurines” are known, most of of which is kept in the Gold Museum in Bogota, the capital of Colombia. All “figurines” are very small in size - only from 4 to 8 centimeters.

It is believed that they were worn on laces and used as amulets or pendants, but this is highly controversial. The fact is that, for example, most Quimbaya gold items were found in ancient “sarcophagi” made from hollow tree trunks, that is, they represent the so-called funeral utensils and have a “cult” character. And in general, gold products here (as, indeed, throughout South America) were practically not used in everyday life or as decoration, since gold was considered the metal of the gods, not people, and was, first of all, a kind of “pass” to the afterlife.

Rice. 12.Golden “zoomorphic figurines”

The fate of the “zoomorphic figures” is similar to the fate of the Egyptian “bird” - they, too, were not noticed for a long time. Neither those who examined them at the Gold Museum in Bogota, nor visitors traveling exhibitions"Treasures of Colombia", where these finds were exhibited, although such exhibitions were held in various countries around the world.

And only in 1969, the American jeweler Emanuel Staub noticed that one of the winged figures, a copy of which he had, somehow looked very much like an airplane. He made a cast of his figurine and sent it to his friend, the famous zoologist Ivan Sanderson, head of the Society for the Study of the Unexplained, with a request to determine whether it was similar to any known animal. The zoologist carefully studied the cast and confidently stated that there is nothing like it in the animal world. Then similar casts were sent to aircraft designers and engineers of that time. All of them unanimously argued that these were not animals, but smaller copies of aircraft.

At the end of the same 1969, Ivan Sanderson published an article in Argosy magazine that created a sensation, since it indicated that aviation experts were able to discern the fuselage, cockpit, wings and stabilizers on ancient figurines. It was after this article that the search for similar figures in museums began different countries world, and it turned out that their number exceeds three dozen. And Staub’s “airplane” gained such popularity that it even became the emblem of the “Ancient Astronaut Society” (AAS), an organization of paleocontact researchers of Erich von Däniken.

Serious controversy arose around the “Colombian airplanes,” which was fueled by the fact that far all the figures of this type show the same striking external resemblance to the airplane as the specimen examined by Sanderson. Moreover, the manufacturers of the figurines clearly depicted some kind of living creature, as evidenced by the eyes and mouth. Naturally, the classification of these objects by specialists in the ancient cultures of America has a biological connotation. Winged amulets are often associated, for example, with the “cult of insects.” A similar exhibit from the Museum of Natural History in Chicago is labeled “flying fish,” while its counterpart from the Museum primitive art in New York it is served to the public as a “winged crocodile”.

And yet, despite the difference in shape, almost all winged gold figurines have clearly aerodynamic shapes and the basic design of an airplane, which has no exact correspondence in nature. The figures include the cockpit, fuselage, horizontal wings, stabilizers and vertical fin. And the stylization of animals most likely only indicates that the manufacturers of these masterpieces no longer knew what kind of designs they were, and made their own “additions” (in accordance with their simplified perception), which ultimately distorted the original appearance prototype...

Rice. 13.What is stylized - an airplane or a fish?..

The debate, which was more of a purely speculative nature, could have continued indefinitely if those who prefer not to theorize, but to test everything through experiment, had not taken up the matter. Two avid German aircraft modeling enthusiasts from the small town of Leer - medic Algund Enbom and Air Force officer Peter Belting - decided to build enlarged copies of winged figures and test them in flight.

To create copies, they chose two figurines that were most similar to the plane - the one that became famous thanks to Sanderson’s publications, and a golden amulet kept in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. The models created by Enbom and Belting were 16 times larger in size than the miniature originals, but retained all their proportions and basic shape features. Although the models were not exact copies, we had to remove the strange cutouts on the wings, make them curved according to the rules of aerodynamics, rather than flat, smooth and straighten the fuselage, get rid of disturbing protrusions and the like that could be attributed to distortions introduced by the figure manufacturers .

The models were made from polystyrene foam and balsa wood, a very light type of wood used in aircraft modeling. For greater resemblance, the copies were coated with golden paint. And since it was impossible to determine by the appearance of the Colombian “airplanes” what kind of engine could be installed on them, radio-controlled models were created in two versions - with a propeller and with a jet engine.

Rice. 14.Enlarged copies of Colombian "airplanes"

The first tests of the models took place in 1996. These tests were observed by a huge number of people, among whom were both scientists from various fields of science and many skeptics who did not believe that copies of the figures could fly.

The result was stunning. Radio-controlled models were able to perform even such aerobatics as barrel rolls and loops. They confidently maneuvered in the air and approached to land, despite the wind rising from time to time. During testing, the models revealed absolutely no aerodynamic deficiencies. Even with the engine off, they glide perfectly.

After this experiment, many aircraft modellers began to create aircraft models of certain golden figures. And in April 1998, demonstration flights of the models were watched by hundreds of participants at the annual meeting of the German Aeronautics and Space Society. After seeing the flights, the scientists, aircraft designers, pilots and engineers present at the presentation had no doubt that the golden “airplanes” were copies of flying machines. And they were all unanimous in their opinion - the design of these aircraft is perfect!..

However, no tests helped answer the question of where the ancient Indians saw the planes...

Experts in the archeology of pre-Columbian civilizations, far from knowledge in technical fields, did not react in any way to the results of testing the models and remained unconvinced. The sign at the Gold Museum still states that the display case contains “stylized birds, lizards, amphibians, fish and insects typical of the region.”

Remember, we examined and discussed in detail the cult of Cargo or , but here is a probable continuation of this topic, but in the distant past.

The land of the pharaohs has repeatedly surprised us with inexplicable artifacts, which even today make many people struggle to understand their designation and purpose, but mysterious artifacts are found not only in Egypt and direct evidence of this"Colombian Golden Airplane", or as it is also called -"golden bird of the Incas".

The Golden Bird is a small object measuring four centimeters found in Colombia in the 19th century and dating back to the mid-first millennium AD. Most likely, this item was used as an amulet or pendant. Today in the world there are several dozen such objects that were found not only in Colombia, but also in the territories of Venezuela, Costa Rica and Peru. In appearance they are slightly different from each other, but the fundamental design of the aircraft with horizontal and vertical tail fins unites all these artifacts

Let's find out more about this find...

For a long time, many people looked at the gold figurines on display at the Gold Museum of the State Bank of Columbia, as well as during the various "Treasures of Colombia" exhibitions held in different corners our planet, but no one imagined that they could be models of flying machines. And this is not surprising, because all these artifacts were listed in the catalog as “zoomorphic”, since they had the appearance of living creatures with eyes, teeth, scales carved on the body and other attributes of living creatures, therefore, they were all associated with strange animals that could died out a few hundred years ago, but not with airplanes.

The first person to notice the striking resemblance of the Inca golden bird to an aircraft was the American jeweler Emanuel Staub. To rule out the possibility that the figurine was a copy of some animal, Staub sent an exact copy of the Columbian Golden Airplane to his friend, the famous zoologist Ivan Sanderson. After a detailed examination of the artifact, Sanderson realized that he did not know a single living creature similar to the figurine sent to him, and in order to test the theory about the aircraft, he handed it over to several aviation experts for analysis, who confirmed that the figurine could well be a model of an airplane.

They were found in the burials of Indian leaders. It is assumed that during the lifetime of the owners these items were used as breast decorations or amulets.

Due to the presence of organic remains in the burials that can be dated by radiocarbon method, the time of manufacture of winged amulets is known from sufficient accuracy- around 500 AD. The authors of these masterpieces were masters of the Tolima Indian culture, who lived in what is now Colombia, in the middle reaches of the Magdalena River. However, the creations of their hands were found far beyond the borders of the named region. So, in Berlin Museum ethnography contains an “airplane” found on the territory of Costa Rica. The discovery of similar gold items has been reported in Venezuela and Peru.

A total of 33 such objects have been discovered today, and they were found not only in Colombia, but also in Peru, Costa Rica, and Venezuela. Their appearance different, but common is the fundamental design of the aircraft with horizontal and vertical tail fins. Artists gave their products the appearance of living creatures with eyes, toothy mouths, and some covered them with notches in the form of scales. So, maybe this is the prototype of some long-extinct animal? However, experts fully agree with the conclusion of US biologist Ivan Sanderson: they cannot in any way be identified with any of the representatives of both fossil and modern fauna of the planet known to science.

In the “golden airplane” figurine, modern aviation experts saw:

a) a model of an aerospace airplane with a tilting cockpit;

b) a model of a one-time use cargo aircraft for landing on water;

c) a model of a “subaquaplane” - an underwater aircraft.

A number of other technical versions have also been put forward that can only arise in the minds of narrow specialists. But, in general, the plane in this golden craft was seen much earlier. The story is simply fantastic.

On the Internet you can find the following story: in 1956, the “golden airplane” was exhibited among other exhibits of the exhibition “Gold of Pre-Columbian America”, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The deltoid wing of this figure and the vertical plane of the tail (which never happens in birds) attracted the attention of American aircraft designers. By agreement with the exhibition management, they were allowed to conduct research on the ancient “airplane” in a wind tunnel. And then it turned out that the golden “bird of the Incas” behaved best at... supersonic speeds, the study of which was in full swing. The figurine was returned to the museum, and the delta-shaped wing and high vertical plane of the tail migrated to the Lockheed aircraft design bureau, which soon created a supersonic aircraft, which was the best in the world at that time...

Modern supersonic aircraft exactly repeat the shape of ancient figures. These figures, made in the shape of airplanes, were created about 1.5 thousand years ago. No one has been able to solve their mystery - what served as models for such works of art.

On the territory of modern Peru, where the powerful Inca Empire once existed, 500 km from the Pacific coast on the high Nazca plateau lies the mysterious Pampa Colorada (Red Desert). On this table-flat plateau, back in the 30s of the 20th century, pilots discovered dozens of smooth, like a concrete highway, sections of rocky surface ranging in length from several hundred meters to several kilometers. All of them were very reminiscent of the runways of modern airfields. This is beautifully shown in documentary film Erich von Däniken's "Memories of the Future" (and described in the book of the same name). Between these stripes on an area of hundreds square kilometers - giant drawings familiar birds, animals, interspersed with strange animals, insects, plants... But the most important thing is that both the runways and the drawings can only be seen from the air!

It was then, in the early 30s, at the head of a small detachment of American amateur pilots, Robert Shippey took tens of thousands of photographs of monuments of pre-Columbian cultures. Here, under the wing of the plane, giant drawings of animals appear: a multi-meter iguana, a 120-meter bird, a 200-meter lizard, a giant monkey and many others. It was an incredible sight!

Less than 10 years later, another scientist decided to look at the creations of the ancient Peruvians from an airplane. It was Paul Kosok. Once in the south, he ended up in Pampa de Nazca, where he discovered a giant art gallery. On the dark red surface of the plateaus appeared yellowish-white trapezoids, triangles and rectangles, often hundreds and hundreds of meters long. Sometimes endlessly long stripes stretched along the Pampa de Nazca, converging at certain points and then diverging again. Scattered among the apparent chaos of lines were giant drawings of animals.

When Kosok published a message about his discovery, accompanied by dozens of high-quality photographs taken from the air, the world did not believe him. Besides, there was a Second World War, and humanity had completely different concerns. They were discovered for the second time by Erich von Däniken in the book “Memories of the Future” (1968), which, unlike Kosok’s scientific articles, was read avidly by the whole world. In it, he reflected on whether the giant lines in the country of the Indians, who did not know the wheel, much less an airplane, were runways for astronauts. Isn't this related? Art Gallery"with aliens and extraterrestrial civilizations? For almost a quarter of a century, only one person was engaged in the drawings here. It was Maria Reiche, who came to Peru from Germany. Having settled in Lima, she was one of the first to hear from Professor Kosok about his incredible discovery. This message interested her so much that from then on she concentrated all her attention on this vast space.

But since these drawings are simply not visible from the ground, a natural question arises: “Did the ancient inhabitants of the Cordillera, the Incas, really know how to fly?” Here it is appropriate to recall the ancient Inca legend, which speaks of a “golden ship” that arrived from distant stars: “It was commanded by a woman named Oryana. She was destined to become the foremother of the earthly race. Oryana gave birth to seventy earthly children, and then returned to the stars."

Add to this the conclusion of the English anthropological journal Maine, which states: “Analysis of the muscle tissue of preserved Inca mummies showed that the Incas differed sharply in blood composition from the local population. They were found to have a blood type of a rare combination. Nowadays, such a blood composition is known only for 2-3 people in the whole world.”

Here is more information about this - and also about

Massive interest in mysterious artifacts arose in late 1969, after Sanders published about the ancient aircraft in Argosy magazine. The article created a real sensation and caused a lot of controversy around the mysterious gold figurines. But in 1996, German aircraft modellers from the small town of Leer, Algund Enbom and Peter Belting, proved in practice that the hypothesis about models of aircraft in the form of figurines of mysterious animals has the right to life. These two aircraft modellers created almost accurate, 16-times enlarged copies of the “Columbia Golden Airplane”, preserving all proportions and shapes, and another golden figurine, which, in their opinion, most closely resembled the airplane. To launch into the air, the models were equipped with motors and radio control systems.

The first test of the airplanes was watched by a huge number of people, among whom were scientists from various fields of science and many skeptics who did not believe that copies of the figures could fly. But what was their surprise when two models were not only able to take off, but also performed excellent aerobatic maneuvers (barrel roll, loop), and also glide perfectly even with the engines turned off.

After this experiment, many aircraft modellers began to create aircraft models of various golden figures, and in April 1996, mass demonstrations of assembled aircraft took place at the German Aviation and Cosmonautics Society. The scientists, aircraft designers, pilots and engineers present at the presentation, after seeing the flights, had no doubt that the “golden airplanes of the Incas” were copies of flying machines.

Of course, no one today is able to answer the question of where exactly the ancient Incas took the images for their unusual products, but one thing is for sure that not only the Incas made figurines that looked like flying machines, there are a huge number of such artifacts and all of them were found in different parts of our planet. Take, for example, the “Sakkara Bird” found in Egypt, which is also surprisingly similar to a model airplane and which I will tell you about a little later. Be that as it may, these artifacts suggest a completely different history of our ancestors, a history that is still so difficult for us to believe.

The original article is on the website InfoGlaz.rf Link to the article from which this copy was made -

Animals with wings

In the 19th century in Colombia, several dozen gold figurines of incomprehensible shape were found during archaeological excavations. They were transferred to the museum at the State Bank of Columbia, where they were exhibited for many years in a row. In the catalogs, the figurines were listed as “zoomorphic,” that is, made in the shape of animals. And exactly how numerous visitors looked at them over the course of a century at incomprehensible animals...

And only in the 20th century, after the development of the aviation industry, it became clear that these strange figures were made in the form of modern aircraft! It’s just that until they were invented yet, people had nothing to compare them with...

Jeweler Emmanuel Staub was the first to notice this extremely strange similarity. He made a copy of one of the figures and sent it to zoologist Ivan Sanderson so that he could make his verdict - it was an animal or an airplane.

The zoologist studied the figure of an incomprehensible shape for a long time and carefully and came to the conclusion: it is by no means zoomorphic - there are no similar animals in the natural world. It is interesting that almost all the figures, despite their resemblance to airplanes, at the same time also have signs of animals - eyes and mouths, which is why they were classified as zoomorphic.

But when copies of the figures were sent to aviation experts, everyone unanimously admitted that they depicted airplanes! Experts saw the cockpit, fuselage, wings, stabilizers, fin... But where would airplanes come from in such ancient times?

This question, posed by Ivan Sanderson in an article he published about airplanes, never found an answer.

However, this publication aroused widespread interest in the mysterious figures. AND a large number of people began searching for similar figures and images in museums and private collections.

In total, about thirty golden airplanes were found in various museums around the world. They all had common origin- they were discovered in Indian burials. Archaeologists have established that the airplanes were made about 1.5 thousand years ago. According to scientists, they were used as chest decorations and amulets.

Most of these airplanes were found in settlements of the Tolima Indians who lived in Colombia, but there are similar figurines found in Costa Rica and other countries in South America.

Demonstration performances

For a very long time, experts argued about what these mysterious airplanes. Most scientists were inclined to believe that they had nothing to do with aviation - it seemed too fantastic. But even the most stubborn skeptics were convinced that these were really airplanes. This happened after an unusual experiment was carried out in Germany.

Two aviation and aircraft modeling enthusiasts, Algumnd Enbom and Peter Belting, have created enlarged replicas of the unusual Colombian figurines. For this purpose, two figures were chosen that most closely resembled an airplane - one from the Columbia Gold Museum, and the second from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. The copies were 16 times larger than the originals, but exactly repeated all their features. Belting and Enbom equipped the airplanes with motors and radio control.

A decent crowd gathered to test the airplanes, including scientists - archaeologists, zoologists, historians... And everyone was shocked - it turned out that the airplanes had excellent aerodynamic properties. They performed all aerobatic maneuvers with dexterity, such as a loop or a barrel roll.

The figures maneuvered as if they were created exclusively for flight - and even with the engine turned off, they glide smoothly in the air. After this, many aircraft modellers began to carry out similar experiments, creating copies of certain golden figurines.

Once, at the German Aviation and Astronautics Society, mass “demonstration performances” of copies of golden airplanes took place. And all the leading aircraft design engineers unanimously admitted that these figures were exclusively airplanes, once created by human hands...

But they also could not answer the question - where the ancient Indians could have seen such planes... And then scientists were allowed to conduct research on a real ancient “airplane” in a wind tunnel. And it turned out that the golden figurine is designed to fly at... supersonic speeds. The delta-shaped wing and high vertical plane of the tail captured the imagination of engineers and soon a new supersonic aircraft was created on their basis...

(It’s interesting that after reading this article on our website, one of the fans of flight simulators became interested in the question - what will happen if you construct an airplane in a flight simulator with the same parameters as the ancient figures - will it fly or not? And the ancient Colombian plane took off and showed its excellent flying qualities! Look how it looks!)

Cairo bird

The same mysterious origin of another archaeological antiquity, stored in the Cairo Archaeological Museum. In 1898, Egyptian researchers found a strange wooden object in a burial dating back to the 3rd century BC. It was placed in a box labeled “Bird Figures,” in which it lay for a long time.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the figurine was put on public display, and for a long time no one noticed anything strange about it. It was only in 1972 that one visitor, physician Khalil Messih, who was seriously interested in archeology, noticed that this bird actually looked most like an airplane or glider.

The length of this strange object is 14.2 cm, the wingspan is 18.3 cm. The figure’s nose resembles a beak, but the tail is the keel of an airplane. The wings and body also look not like those of a bird, but like those of an airplane. However, this figure does not have stabilizers.

Khalil Messih claims that the missing pieces simply broke off in time immemorial. He made exactly the same “bird” from wood, added missing parts to it and equipped it with a motor and propeller. In flight, the figure showed miracles - it flew at a tremendous speed of 95 kilometers per hour and glides remarkably well.

After testing the “bird”, an urgent search began for similar figures in Egyptian museums. And there were many of them, moreover, they all had the missing parts from the figurine found by Messikh! True, Egyptian archaeologists were also unable to answer the question of where the airplanes that served as the prototype for these figurines could have come from in the third millennium BC...

And then sensational news came out - archaeologist William Deitch, conducting research, said that the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun died 3,300 years ago... in a plane crash. This is precisely what the nature of the injuries that resulted in his death speaks to. This news further fueled interest in the mysteries of ancient aircraft construction...

The land of the pharaohs has repeatedly surprised us with inexplicable artifacts, which even today make many people struggle to understand their designation and purpose, but mysterious artifacts are found not only in Egypt and direct evidence of this is the “Columbia Golden Airplane,” or as it is also called, “the golden bird.” Incas."

Let's find out more about this find...

Massive interest in the mysterious artifacts arose at the end of 1969, after Sanders published about the ancient aircraft in Argosy magazine. The article created a real sensation and caused a lot of controversy around the mysterious gold figurines. But in 1996, German aircraft modellers from the small town of Leer, Algund Enbom and Peter Belting, proved in practice that the hypothesis about models of aircraft in the form of figurines of mysterious animals has the right to life. These two aircraft modellers created almost accurate, 16-times enlarged copies of the “Columbia Golden Airplane”, preserving all proportions and shapes, and another golden figurine, which, in their opinion, most closely resembled the airplane. To launch into the air, the models were equipped with motors and radio control systems.

Of course, no one today is able to answer the question of where exactly the ancient Incas took the images for their unusual products, but one thing is for sure that not only the Incas made figurines that looked like flying machines, there are a huge number of such artifacts and all of them were found in different parts of our planet. Take, for example, the mystery of the SABU disk or the “Sakkara Bird” found in Egypt, which is also surprisingly similar to a model airplane and which I will tell you about a little later. Be that as it may, these artifacts suggest a completely different history of our ancestors, a history that is still so difficult for us to believe.
