The famous "Sabu Disk" is an archaeological find that was declared by a group of scientists as irrefutable proof that ancient people had real aviation. Egyptologist Walter Emeray found it during excavations of tombs in the ancient Egyptian village of Saqqara in 1936.
The Sabu disc is a round stone plate with a diameter of 70 centimeters, with three curved blades. In the middle, this plate has a sleeve. It was this fastener that allowed the researchers to make the assumption that this disk was an integral part of some larger and more complex mechanism.
But which one? Why did the Egyptians need this strange round object? Many researchers believe that the stone disc is nothing more than a propeller with hydraulic fins.
If we assume that this is really so, then we get an amazing picture: it turns out that the Egyptians, three thousand years before our era, knew how to build real airplanes and fly them. This find could become a worldwide sensation.

If not for one thing! This plane, even if it ever existed, was made of stone. And stone planes don't fly. And that means that all the talk about the great technologies of antiquity is nothing more than a fantasy. Meanwhile, the world-renowned archaeologist and expert on ancient texts, Swiss explorer Eric von Deniken, believes that a stone plane should not fly.
However, in his opinion, this does not deny that in antiquity, over the Egyptian pyramids, over Easter Island, over the ancient cities of the Incas, planes could really fly, and space ships could land. And ancient man knew what electric batteries and computers are..

Eric von Deniken justifies his opinion as follows:
“I will give you a very famous example. During World War II, US troops established a military base in Papua New Guinea. American planes flew there, from the "belly" of which they seized all kinds of cargo: weapons, ammunition. The natives saw this, but did not understand what was happening. And when, at the end of the war, the Americans left, the aborigines continued to look after the runways. Moreover, they themselves began to make airplanes - from wood and straw (cargo cult). Of course, not real planes, but their imitation.

They began to make wristwatches from wood and leather. They made microphones out of wood and said some phrases in them. They made wooden antennas … I myself saw these straw planes and wooden clocks … That is, a technologically progressive society came into contact with a technologically backward society, which is not able to understand more advanced technology, therefore they imitate only appearance.
Today we see many objects that have come down to us since ancient times, and we do not understand how they could have appeared. And the answer is very simple. This is a common imitation. I am convinced that this is how, for example, objects made of gold that resemble airplanes appeared, that is how sculptures appeared on churches in Central America, where on the chest of a sculpture depicting a priest there is a rectangular box with a keyboard - buttons for ten fingers …

And things are not at all the same as in one of the recent TV shows. They showed an ancient figurine, a replica of an airplane made of gold, and said: "She is not able to fly." And they added: "Contrary to von Daniken's claims." But von Daniken never said such nonsense! I was credited with stupid statements. Nonsense! Gold airplane models shouldn't fly! Solid wood clocks should not show the time. Because it is nothing more than an imitation."
According to the hypothesis of Eric von Deniken, it turns out that all these stone propellers, golden figures of planes, drawings of strange creatures in spacesuits are the result of contacts of ancient people with aliens, who, according to his calculations, visited the earth 14 thousand years ago. Ancient man saw all this, and then, like the modern aborigines, he reproduced them at the level at which he could.
The version, of course, is fantastic, but you must admit that science still cannot offer a more logical explanation of all these strange artifacts.
By the way, about the figurines of golden birds, similar to modern airplanes, found in the ancient burial of the Incas … German engineers have recently made an exact copy of this golden bird from modern materials, equipped it with an engine. And she flew! Moreover, its aerodynamic qualities were no worse than modern aircraft models.
