the video states that wings don't go on the bottom...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.

Why does the burden of proof have to fall so heavily on us? The fact is, our natural history has been recreated by scientists and historians through a variety of methods because of the simple fact that WE CAN'T VERIFY MUCH OF ANYTHING. We don't KNOW why they built the Nazca Lines, so how can you rule Ancient Astronaut theory out? We don't KNOW why they built the Pyramids, we don't KNOW why they built the Moai, actually, we don't KNOW much of anything. So if you're willing to provide 100% proof of these things NOT being of extraterrestrial origin, then we can talk.

I'd also imagine that people living simple lives would find it very hard to make a bird using the resources available at the time and without the technology available to us now so would make a rough model.

I'm undecided as to weather these artefacts are fish or planes but you can't say on one hand ancient humans probably couldn't draw and on the other they were perfectly capable of building pyramids! Why couldn't our ancestors draw in your opinion? Some of the art and sculpture from early and pre-history is exquisite much better than the unmade beds and brick circles our 'modern' artists come up with!

Which is a clear contradiction of your previous statement in the same post...

So which is it? They could build the pyramids but not make a bird, or replica of a flying machine? There's some great critical thinking for you, or a very unsound argument...
The troubling thing for me is that with anti-gravity appearing ufo's, where does aerodynamic flying machines fit into the picture or timeline...

A 2000 year old "computer" (which basically was a device with 70 gears), hardly proves there were advanced aircraft, no. Where do you make that broad leap of logic? They also found a very advanced barge with plumbing and the works, recovered from a lake - it hardly means they had aircraft carriers.
Those devices and advanced, ancient discoveries were amazing - but not anything CLOSE to as being as advanced as an aircraft. And those items were unique curios - one of a kind items that were hardly mass produced in a factory.
Like I said, if those were made by humans, we'd have seen proof, no doubt about it. If they can recovered a unique single gearwork from the bottom of a shipwreck, they certainly could recover metal bits from factories and planes and vehicles.
Also consider: there is a LOT of knowledge needed to make these sorts of things. Anything we have is very well documented. Ancient civilizations also had (for them), advances.. in farming, building and so on, and they recorded that, as well. But there is nothing.. not one page, of all their knowledge they would have needed to know. Of course, it's more complex than that. Do you think they drafted out plans on papyrus or did a bit of cuneiform cadwork? All the industrial revolution in intertwined - lighting and power and phones and other telecommuncation, all this makes it possible for all the pieces to come together for advanced discoveries and advancements.
But you have nothing.. no proof of any of this. It's like these planes just popped into existence, and then disappeared without a trace. Honestly.. how likely is that?

"ETHNIC card"????
NO!! GEOGRAPHY!!!
Gawd, didn't think I would have to write the obvious. India versus South America.....heck the west coast of SA!!! Know how far away from India that is?
The assertions just don't survive rational scrutiny, sorry. Can fool some people, who may not stop to ponder, and apply logic and reason to them, first. It SHOULD be taken into consideration, though...rather than blindly believing any crackpot idea, base don flimsy interpretations, and perhaps, "gut" feelings......

Well, by one side we have a 2.000 years old industry-like mechanic portable computer, 6.000 years old Vedic scriptures with technical specs of giant aircrafts, 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
If you all can't understand why people from a time before we developed all our scientific knowledge, would be fascinated with fish that fly across their path and over their boats while fishing, just maybe your the ones with the closed minds.
