Many of Leonardo's ideas were turned into reality. He dreamt of flying and studied birds and envisioned flight and the consequences of what might happen to the pilot if the machine broke down in the air, hence he invented the parachute (a model of which was built and tested some decades ago according to his drafts -- it worked!). He also envisioned boats that could travel underwater like fish carrying their own air supply, but he could not carry the concept any further because the engine he needed to propel the device had not yet been invented. Do not discount the genius of Man! A child's toy was found among the artifacts in an Egyptian tomb and sat in the British Museum for many years until one day one of the staff noticed the birdlike, light wood carving was aerodynamic and even had wings shaped like an airfoil. On impulse he tossed it in the air. It flew. He had discovered the earliest glider found to date, some thousands of years old.

It seems that if "flying machines" did not exist in the days of ancient Egypt, the ancient Egyptians somehow had visions of them. But how? You sure? I thought it was obvious, humanity never originated from here. You first clue come from the Bible: Genisis & Noah's Arks. Hutch PS: Science for here would always parity the same anywhere else.

Now look at the hieroglyphics again, crystalinks.com in particular the long object that is to the right of the "helicopter" and keep that image in mind while reading the transcription of an aerial incident during WWII below: On September 29, 1944, at 10:45 a.m., a test pilot was trying out a new Messerschmitt jet, ME 262 Schwalbe, when two luminous points situated on his right suddenly caught his attention. He shot at full speed in that direction and found himself face to face with a cylindrical object, more than three hundred feet long with some openings along its side, and fitted with long antennae placed in front up to about halfway along its length. Having approached within about 1,500 feet of the craft the pilot was amazed to see that it was moving at a speed of more than 1,200 m.p.h. What do you think. A coincidence? It even has the antenna!
