I believe I watched a documentary demonstrating that the egyptian hieroglyphics are actually images of people and animals that have eroded. While it's very coincidental they should look that way, it's just that.. coincidence.

Actually, the image of the glyph depicting flying machines is the only image of that glyph I could find on the internet. The first page of google links when searching for 'ancient Egyptian flying machine' all include that exact photo. One of the pages claims that the photo was taken by them, one says the photo was submitted by their resident ufologist, one mentions the photo being submitted to a newspaper some years ago. They are all the same photo though, and I haven't read anything regarding anyone actually verifying that it's real.

The Baghdad batteries were not batteries.
* the bitumen completely covers the copper cylinder, electrically insulating it, so no current can be drawn without modifying the design; * there are not any wires or conductors with them; * no widely accepted electrical equipment is associated with them. (Controversial stone reliefs depicting arc lights have been suggested, however the voltages obtained are orders of magnitude below what would be needed to produce arc lighting); * an bitumen seal, being thermoplastic, is excellent for forming a hermetic seal for long term storage. It would be extremely inconvenient however for a galvanic cell, which would require frequent topping up of the electrolyte (if they were intended for extended use).

en.wikipedia.org...

As for the Abydos carvings:
www.catchpenny.org...
They do not represent what you think they do.

The Mayan airships are highly stylized flying fish and insects.

Working replicas of the Baghdad battery have been constructed, so if it wasn't a battery that's one hell of a coincedence that the replica would act just like a battery.

As for "The Pharaohs helicopter" not only does it look like a helicopter, but it looks like an apache, also one hell of a coincedence I guess.

The mayan airships are NOT "highly stylized flying fish and insects" look at them. They are replicas of airplanes, anyone can see that. They even have a representation of wing vortices causing lift, which shows an understanding of the basics of flight.

Anyway, none of this is on topic, back to the Antikythera mechanism...

We wouldn't be where we are now were it not for them.
There will be others to take their places. They are rare in the extreme, but they will be here.

Hello,

Great thread
I love all of this ancient technology, civilisations and of course ... aliens did it.

The hieroglyphs that depict flying craft and so on has been debunked unfortunately. See this link on
Catchpenny.

This, however, is only one piece of evidence that has been debunked. There are hundreds more pieces of evidence that are yet to be debunked so lets keep going

I would also like to believe that the Mayan airships are .... well, airships but the truth is if they were visions of ET craft then would that ET craft really have looked like our current day planes? Our F-16's cannot traverse time and space to get to Mars and beyond.
Maybe the alien craft did look like that and the Mayans depicted them the best they could.

Then you arent searching enough.

It's located in a Temple called: Temple of Abydos.

Just a few examples:

mmmgroup.altervista.org...

www.timstouse.com...

www.hallofthegods.org...

www.bibliotecapleyades.net...

All taken by different people at different times.

As you can clearly see this is not a hoax.

Well, ppl dont call it a "hoax", some just believe those carvings are actually the overlay of two different carvings from 2 different stages or times. One, the original was "corrected" by filling some parts and carving others to give place to the new inscription. What some ppl defend is that some of the filled parts, since its not same as rock, gave in thru time, and we got those images that look like planes, choppers etc but in reality are the overlay of 2 different carvings.

Who knows? Maybe they are... maybe they're not. Maybe the little plane statue is not a "highly stylized sculptures of birds or fish" who knows? With these things, ppl have the same proof they are birds as I have they are planes...
