i remember i've read about the others over the years but that's the one that stood out immediately for me

The couple of images I did look at were all from different sources. On the one in the link listed in the post above mine is from
The tomb of Pakal which is Myan, as mentioned. The first couple are Egyptian. The ones
of the underwater Mayan temple look like they are fake to me.

Here are the first ones:
Abydos glyphs
These hieroglyphes surely don't represent any 'modern technology' (it would be hard to imagine modern looking helicopters in ancient Egypt).
Instead, the drawings are nothing more than normal egyptian hieroglyphs like the 'hand' or the 'basket'.
The 'helicopter', for example, consists of two 'forearms' that carry a thing like a table. The lower portion of the 'submarine' is the
hieroglyph 'basket'. The basket is - again - held by a forearm.
If you look at the normal egyptian hieroglyphes and compare them to these drawings, you'll see that this is nothing 'special', only misinterpreted
constellations of hieroglyphes. I don't know what these symbols represent, but I can say for sure that they're nothing unusual.
Some of the other ones are showing the layouts of temples in relation to constellations.

That has to be the most ridiculous explanation I have seen yet to explain the 'helicopter' and 'submarine' images. I had a good chuckle at
that.
Then again I could be wrong, but it is a little far-fetched.

I didn’t write it, I just linked it.
Maybe you like this one better:
The hieroglyph in the scene in the Temple of Set I in Abydos which supposedly showed helicopters, submarines, etc are the result of palimpsest
where an inscription has been written on more than once with some of the plaster falling away and the results indeed look like modern craft.

Sorry mate, I know you only linked it. I meant to say that about the person who suggested that on the web page, not you 
It seems rather more than coincidental that the bits of plaster falling off the hieroglyphs and subsequent repairs would form shapes looking like
helicopters and such. I might agree if it was one image, but three or four on the same tablet, each looking remarkably like different modern pieces of
technology, is a little far fetched.
