@ Tex:
I knew about those models, I thought you ment they hard working flying machines and gliders which would have been news to me. The models could be replicas of birds or something, or just an artists rendition of a machine man might someday use to fly or something. It would be different if they actually had official documents stating one o fthese was built or observed in the sky. Adding wings to things dopesn;t require knowledge of modern aviation tols, just have to make it loook like a bird, solid body with wings and a tail. Could be anything.
@devilock: It's not the peyote lol. These were well thought out documents, seems kind of odd that they would put all that effort into it like they did for nothing. It would be like if someone in our day started drawing up plans for some future yet to be known technology and started drawing out schematics and flight manuals for it's operations. It just seems weird to hear people discussing running an airport and flying airplanes3,000 years ago. Adn why they included these things in their religious documents is even harder for me to understand.
@ Danielan: The "idea" of the ancient alien thing may make sense, I mean it makes mroe sense than the religious version of the story. It seems plausible that there is life eslewhere and that it might have come here at some point and messed with the locals, though the odds of that seem pretty astonomical. Then again, we live ina world where theoretically nothing should be the way it is. What is the odds behind basic chemical compounds beig put under pressure until they form into the double helix for DNA? Lie the odds of a tornado going through a scrap yard and assembling a 747. So we have to accept the fact that things which may seem statistically unlikely are things that happen every day. No way to know, but I coulnd't "believe" in the ancient alien thing until ther was more proof. Need to find some piece of technology burried in dirt that we know could not have existed during that time period.
