One thing you may not know is that the Egyptians may have seen airplanes 4,000 years ago. Come to think of it, it's really eye-catching. As we all know, ancient Egypt has always been the subject of study by archaeologists, and now, according to the latest WikiLeaks, archaeologists have found models of airplanes and aircraft patterns on reliefs in Egypt. Could it be that the ancient Egyptians were exposed to airplanes as early as 4,000 years ago? Let's demystify it together.
The story begins in 1898. At that time, some models made of small figs that resembled modern airplanes were found in Egypt. Like woodbirds, these small models arouse curiosity. These small models are now numbered "Species Register" No. 6347 and are housed in the museum. But note that the first real airplane didn't come out until 1903, which makes us wonder, what exactly did these aircraft models come from?
After intensive analysis and research by archaeologists, these models were finally identified as model airplanes in 1969 and possessed the characteristics of modern aircraft. You won't be surprised that the characteristics of these models are quite domineering. For example, their fuselage is 56 inches, with a span of 7 wings unfolded2 inches, with a tip length of 13 inches. The tail of the model is vertical, and there are also devices similar to the tail balancer of modern aircraft. Even more surprising is the aerodynamic shape of these rear wings, which creates a huge lifting force. Moreover, the proportions of the individual parts of these models are precisely calculated. Subsequently, 14 similar aircraft models were found. This makes us wonder, could it be that the Egyptians had mastered such advanced technology 4,000 years ago?
Even more bizarrely, similar aircraft models have been found in South America. Archaeological excavations in Colombia have even led to the discovery of an ancient model of an airplane that bears a striking resemblance to the American B-52 bomber. The experts conducted wind tunnel tests and drew up a drawing showing the shape of an ancient model aircraft. Since then, models of these aircraft have been found in other countries in South America.
This begs us to wonder if these findings prove that there is some kind of connection between Egypt and South America. Did the ancients ever come to South America by plane? If there really were airplanes from 4,000 years ago, then why didn't the first real airplane appear until 1903? These questions are really confusing. Is there ever an extraterrestrial intervention in history?
To date, we can't say for sure whether Egyptians 4,000 years ago actually saw airplanes or other flying objects. It is rumored that ancient technologies such as Atlantis and the Mayan civilization were taught by aliens. This makes us wonder if the ancient Egyptians also came into contact with aliens.
Let me say a personal opinion, though. Aliens may really exist, and this possibility cannot be ruled out. Another explanation is that our technology has advanced to a level where people can even travel through time and space, which has long been reflected in movies and TV series. Perhaps some time-travelers have accidentally left the airplane model in the past, leaving too many doubts for those of us who are not yet able to travel through time and space.
In the end, whether or not the ancient Egyptians saw airplanes, whether it was alien intervention or the legacy of civilization, this 4,000-year-old history remains a mystery that we cannot answer. It inspires us to think endlessly about the development of science and technology and the existence of external civilizations, and also arouses our awe of human history. Let's continue to explore the unknown, stay curious, and maybe one day, we will find the secrets of the aircraft that belonged to the ancient Egyptians.
