This disinfo agent bails out whenever the tired ol' Egyptian light bulb comes up. Not a light bulb. It's clearly a corndog with a squiggle of mustard atop it's crunchy fried cornmeal outer shell. Later.

This thread can reach hundreds of pages and none of you will disprove their authenticity. The only thing you can do is repeat 10.000 times these are not evidences. Just empty words and nothing more.

well, they are assuming they are holding it right side up first off...if you flip the statue over, then voila...the wings are on top like any other bug.

except it isn't a computer.. it is a device used to track celestial movements., it would be like calling an abacus a calculator
6.000 years old Vedic scriptures with technical specs of giant aircrafts,
except that nonsense isn't 6000 years-old, it is claimed to be old solely because someone says so, there isn't even manuscript older than 1918!
4.000 years Egyptian steles depicting electric lamps and also aircrafts and by the other side we have a couple of skeptics and disinfo shills in a conspiracy forum,
except it isn't it is a plant, most likely an iris, do you ignore the leaves on the so called "lamp"? good critical thinking there. those so called "aircrafts" are nothing but the plaster breaking off in a way that looks like stuff we recognize. i love how the best people who believe this nonsense can only poison the well, it means you have no refutations.

you can't disprove anything when the other person is so in love with the beliefs they hold to, logic,facts, or commonsense won't penetrate the shell of a closed off mind.
why don't you ask yourself why there isn't more depictions of the things you believe this so-called proof is of?
why is it that you only find one thing that depicts something like aircraft in egyptian art? why is it that there is no depictions of electricity in writing?
why do none of the mesoamerican peoples talk about planes? why do we find no evidence of anything except these bits and pieces that could be shown to be other things just as easily?
in all the cases i've seen as evidence for the AA theory, it comes down to misapplied beliefs about objects or flat-out ignorance.
nothing i've ever seen points to the AA theory over something mundane, like religion or cultural imagery.

For someone who claims to hold a belief in the ancient astronaut theory, you sure do go to great lengths to argue against the evidence being presented.
well, they are assuming they are holding it right side up first off...if you flip the statue over, then voila...the wings are on top like any other bug.
Think about what you are saying here for example.
OK...let's do as you suggest...let's mentally take hold of one of the many golden flying machine models (because *that* is what they are)..now, mentally turn the thing over, so the wings are now attached to the top half of the model.
What do you see?
We can now see the wings, attached to the top half yes, but what else?
The wings are now in the correct position to reasonably be able to claim they are representations of a flying insect, a moth for example.
OK, it now looks like a moth, or other flying critter...right?
*Wrong*!
Why wrong? In your minds eye, look along the upside down model, towards the rear..how many moths, or *any* other flying insect, or bird, that has a set of horizontal stabilizer fins, with a very large classic aircraft tail fin, in a vertical position pointing straight downwards?
It looks absolutely *nothing* like a moth, but now looks everything like an inverted delta-winged aircraft!
It's one thing to look at the evidence with a critical eye, it's totally another to be in denial of it, and look for reasons not to believe what is obviously directly in front you.
Whenever any object or evidence of a process is searched for by alternative researchers, skeptics are very fond of often saying that 'He who looks hard and long enough, will find what they want to find. In other words, we see what we want to see.
This is what you are doing now. You cannot believe the evidence before you is representative of an ancient aircraft, so you look for reasons to deny what you see, until you see what you are looking for - in this case a model of a moth.
The problem is of course, no moths or other flying creatures have a vertical tail fin..least of all in a classic aircraft tail stabilizer configuration!
As the man said: "Just say what you see".
And about the Vymanika Shastra, it was PROVEN to be over 4.000 years old by Indian Aeronautical Institute. If you are interested, do your own research.
A study by aeronautical and mechanical engineering at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 1974 concluded that the aircraft described in the text were "poor concoctions" and that the author showed a complete lack of understanding of aeronautics.

It's funny 'cause when someone is wearing a Suunto wrist watch, with barometer, altimeter, compass, yadayadayada, it's called "wrist computer". But an ancient device, whose the existence annoys the pathetic skeptics of ancient astronaut theory, is despised and discredited. Even when many scientists have admitted the Antikythera Mechanism IS a mechanic computer.
The Samara Sutradhara is a scientific treatise dealing with every possible angle of air travel in a Vimana. There are 230 stanzas dealing with the construction, take-off, cruising for thousand of miles, normal and forced landings, and even possible collisions with birds. In 1875, the Vaimanika Sastra, a fourth century B.C. text written by Bharadvajy the Wise, using even older texts as his source, was rediscovered in a temple in India. It dealt with the operation of Vimanas and included information on the steering, precautions for long flights, protection of the airships from storms and lightning and how to switch the drive to "solar energy" from a free energy source which sounds like "anti-gravity." The Vaimanika Sastra (or Vymaanika-Shaastra) has eight chapters with diagrams, describing three types of aircraft, including apparatuses that could neither catch on fire nor break. It also mentions 31 essential parts of these vehicles and 16 materials from which they are constructed, which absorb light and heat; for which reason they were considered suitable for the construction of Vimanas.
This document has been translated into English and is available by writing the publisher: VYMAANIDASHAASTRA AERONAUTICS by Maharishi Bharadwaaja, translated into English and edited, printed and published by Mr. G. R.Josyer, Mysore, India, 1979 (sorry, no street address)
The vertical tail fin and the elevators are the main argument of Ancient Alien theorists, to support these artifacts are not depicting flying animals, but actual aircrafts.
The question in this thread, is that there are a bunch of shill disinformers here, committed to discredit the video of the test flight, NOT BY PROVING they are not models of aircrafts, 'cause the DON'T HAVE how to prove it, but by calling anyone that believes they are actual models of crafts, of "delusional" of "charlatans". They are not debunkers, but disinformers.
David Hatcher Childress (born 1957) is an American author and publisher of books on topics in alternative history and historical revisionism. His works cover such subjects as pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact, Nikola Tesla, the Knights Templar, lost cities and vimana aircraft.[1] Childress claims no academic credentials as a professional archaeologist nor in any other scientific field of study.

I HAVE been doing some research, and what you say is bunk. You are repeating what you've been told, and you accept it without question apparently, because you WANT to:
And about the Vymanika Shastra, it was PROVEN to be over 4.000 years old by Indian Aeronautical Institute. If you are interested, do your own research.
And, you had NO RIGHT to accuse me of "racism"! How vile...
My point has always been that, A): The geographical distance between India and South America PRECLUDES any contact between the two cultures, back thousands of years ago, so bringing up the Hindu "scriptures"** in relation to the point of this thread, and ancient Inca civilization, is moot;
B) ** - The ONLY place you see mention of "flying machines" is in the crock websites that make the claims, and point at certain ancient Hindu scriptures...I saw one site that specified four different "sources". Looked them up, and nothing in any of them....except the blend of rich stories, mythology and history, of ancient peoples from that region of this planet, and their culture of the era.
Finally, this Vaimanika Shastra claim is more, total bunk.
It came from some "channeler", and was written down, from HIS "dictation", in the early 20th century!!! Fantastical ravings of a lunatic, is most likely. AND, no it hasn't been "PROVEN" (you use that word too much, in these contexts) to be over 4,000 years old by the Indian Aeronautical Institute. Either you made that up, or someone wrote it and you believed it, without checking?
A study by aeronautical and mechanical engineering at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 1974 concluded that the aircraft described in the text were "poor concoctions" and that the author showed a complete lack of understanding of aeronautics.

AND, read this:
A Critical Study Of The Work Vaimanika Shastra
.
Vertical tail fins are present on Exocoetidae and Guitar fish.Also the so called elevators are in the same position on the artifact as they are on the fishes.The fact that the the lower part of the tail is omitted on the Gold artifacts is not lost on me.It could be simply that they wanted them to lay flat for what ever reason.There are a lot details added or subtracted,for me this is artistic interpretation.
Here lets look at something here shall we. If you go back and read the OP on page 1 you will notice that nobody said the Incas had flying machines they had made replicas of what they had seen. So to keep asking what did they use to power these crafts is silly. Unless you knew where these crafts were from then you may be able to answer that question. How do you know that there hasn't been any evidence found to show ancient crafts? Just because you haven't physically been shown this evidence does not mean it doesn't exist. Do you think that any government on this planet will give out that type of evidence especially given the implications that would have on all that we have been taught about the history of mankind and this planet. I guess you have already thought of that, am I correct? If we are told by our governments that this planet was visited in the past and have the evidence to prove it that would open up pandoras box and they then would have to answer questions they have tried so hard to cover up.
