Information about unusual objects is also available in Russian legends:
… The king is the Fire Shield and the Flaming Spear, he neither burns in fire, nor drowns in water; he emits flames and burns his enemies.
The Fire Shield King flies on an eight-legged horse, like the Scandinavian Odin, whose unusual horse Sleipnir also had eight legs (landing supports). In the legends of the Scythians, there is a flying prince Shield (targitavus - "shining disk"). It is mentioned about heavenly shields by Ovid and Cicero, in Sanskrit manuscripts, "Edda".
Our ancestors left numerous images of unusual aircraft, including a drawing of a vehicle in the form of a winged platform (tripod), atypical for ancient symbolism, on which the god Apollo flew from Hyperborea to Greece.
In the myths of many peoples, a gold or copper tripod was associated with an aircraft. Hephaestus, the blacksmith god from Greek mythology, built golden tripods on wheels that could attend the gatherings of the gods and return themselves to earth. Herodotus, in his History, mentions these devices:
When Jason completed the construction of his ship "Argo", he loaded on board, in addition to the hecatomb, also a copper tripod.
Then the hero swam around the Peloponnese, heading for Delphi. But the ship was carried by the storm to Libya, was stranded on Lake Tritonides, from which, according to legend, Triton came out and demanded to give him the tripod.

Chinese alchemist and adept of secret sciences Ko Huang in 320 BC e. wrote:
… Some made air chariots [they had rotating blades - blades] that set this device in motion.
One of the parts of the celestial chariot in an ancient Chinese drawing resembles the centrifugal compressor of a modern turbojet engine, which is designed to force air into the combustion chamber. Such compressors were used in the middle of the 20th century, but then they were replaced by axial ones, as they were more efficient.
Flying vimanas in the distant past, apparently, were quite an ordinary phenomenon in the sky of India, their descriptions are often found in ancient Indian texts. On the carved wooden frieze of the Meenakshi temple, there are panoramic murals depicting aircraft as they were imagined by the Indians in the 16th century AD. e. They depict chariots with wings and wheels, single and multi-seat vimanas, taking off from the ground in a fiery halo, fighting with each other, and even cone-shaped aircraft shot down and falling from the sky. No less interesting are the images of “people” with monkey heads who meet the celestial chariot.
Unusual rock petroglyphs have been discovered in the California mountains. On one of them, strange four-fingered creatures with "knapsacks" on their backs stand on a platform suspended in the air and carefully examine a mysterious celestial object.
Another picture depicts mysterious creatures with legs in the form of balls, stars flying out of their heads. Perhaps these are anthropomorphic images of Typhon and Jupiter, and the stars symbolize the release of matter from these celestial bodies at their closest approach. The lower part of the petroglyph probably depicts a neutron star with shells of gases, dust and debris borrowed from other planets. In the background is a hat-shaped aircraft.
Among the rock carvings in California, there are also symbols of the "wandering sun", which are drawn in the form of a circle with curved rays. This is how our ancient ancestors depicted a neutron star.
The launch of a rocket with the "children of the sky" from an underground mine fairly reliably conveys one of the ancient Egyptian drawings. Perhaps the Anunnaki left our planet on such spaceships during the Flood, this event is mentioned in the epic of Gilgamesh: [9]
Raised torches [rockets] of the Anunnaki, From their radiance the Earth lit up …
And from heaven to see people.
The gods of the flood were afraid
Ascended, retired to the sky Anu, Curled up like dogs, stretched out against the wall.
The Sumerian cuneiform documents speak of kings who probably waited out the Flood in their spaceships outside the Earth (they could not return to their homeland, since their planet had already been destroyed by the tidal effect of a neutron star):
And then there was a flood, and after the flood, kings again descended from heaven.
The drawing on one of the Sumerian clay tablets clearly resembles a spacecraft with solar panels. At the bottom of the tablet there is a Sumerian zodiac sign in the form of two fish. Many ancient peoples, to designate the era of a particular event, often depicted a certain sign of the zodiac. The event, which is captured on the mentioned tablet, can be attributed to the era of Pisces (26 055 - 23 895 BC).
On the walls of the Egyptian tomb Montemhet (VII century BC) there is an image of a god flying in a heavenly boat among the stars. In one hand he has a symbol of life, in the other - a symbol of death. Perhaps this is how the ancient Egyptians depicted the flight of a flying saucer.
Abydos is home to an ancient Egyptian temple built by Pharaoh Seti I. The huge temple complex has perfectly preserved floor, ceiling and many colorful frescoes. On one of the lintels of the ceiling, strange drawings were found: they can easily discern the outlines of a modern helicopter and two apparatus resembling airplanes. Another relief depicts a flying saucer. Similar images are found in Hittite glyphics: vehicles resembling modern rockets and airplanes are drawn against the background of the starry sky.
On the territory of modern Lebanon in the ancient city of Byblos (biblical Gebal), a coin was found depicting the temple of the goddess Ishtar, dating back to the 1st millennium BC. e. There is a drawing on the coin: the conical apparatus looks like a rocket standing on the launch pad.
During the excavation of the ancient settlement of Tuspa (Turkey), archaeologists discovered a clay model of a cone-shaped aircraft with three nozzles, which closely resembles the space shuttle "Buran" or the American "Shuttle". The pilot sits in the cockpit. Unfortunately, his head is broken off, so it is impossible to establish what the ancient astronaut looked like.
An unusual artifact was found during archaeological excavations in Colombia: it looks like a kind of aircraft with a delta-shaped wing and a vertical tail unit, like modern aircraft. It is assumed that this figurine represents a common bird, but none of the species of birds known on Earth has a vertical tail. On the leading edge of the wing there are rings - a kind of swirlers of the air flow. When this model was investigated using a wind tunnel, it turned out that if the incoming flow has a counterclockwise direction of rotation relative to the body, then it is directed in the direction of flight. As a result of the resulting effect, the aerodynamic drag of this aircraft is significantly reduced. Dolphins use a similar principle to reduce drag when moving in the aquatic environment,creating directional vortices with the help of wave-like folds of skin on the body.
Figures with a vertical tail fin, similar to an artifact from Colombia, but more streamlined in shape, have also been found in Egypt. 14 such models are exhibited in museums in this country.
The ancient Greek composition "Sophia" mentions the means of communication with which the aliens communicated with each other:
The Angels have protrusions above their eyes where the sacred cloud rests. He also has … an object on his head that allows him to receive sounds. This item gives a signal when the Angel receives an order from the Lord to appear in a certain place. Then he quickly looks in the mirror in his hand and receives with its help an instruction from God.
Ancient reliefs have preserved for us images of mysterious means of transportation on land, which do not have draft power - horses or oxen. One of the drawings preserved in India shows two self-propelled carts, one of which is very similar to a motorcycle, and the other resembles a modern three-axle truck carrying passengers. The driver in front controls this unit with a lever that comes out of a square box (control panel). What drives the cars depicted on the relief is unknown.
The aliens left behind themselves some material traces of their stay on our planet, which, unfortunately, are now lost. We are talking about "unquenchable lamps". Various historical documents mention light sources that burn for thousands of years and do not require maintenance and fuel. The Roman emperor Numa Pompilius had a shining eternal lamp in the form of a ball, it hung under the dome of the temple. The description of this miracle directly and without any hints speaks of its origin:
He miraculously appeared there by the will of the gods.
The same "lamp", according to Plutarch's description, was located above the entrance to the temple of Jupiter-Amun. The priests claimed that it burned by itself for several centuries.
During his travels, the Greek writer Lucian saw a shining stone in the forehead of the statue of Hera in Heliopolis (Syria), illuminating the temple premises at night. Pausanias described the palladium in the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitol Hill, illuminated by an unquenchable golden lamp. The priests explained:
She did not need to be replenished with oil, for it was sacred and came from antiquity.
St. Augustine mentioned a wonderful lamp kept in the temple of the goddess Isis, which neither wind nor water can extinguish. The Jesuit Athanasius Kircher in his book "Edipus Egeptianus" told about the unquenchable lamps found in Memphis, which could not be extinguished with water.
In 1485, in Rome, not far from the Santa Maria Nuo-va temple on the Appian Way, a mausoleum with a sarcophagus was opened, in which there was a deceased young girl, practically untouched by decay. A metal lamp hung on the wall of the crypt, burning with a dim bluish light for at least a thousand and a half years. A similar lamp was discovered in the tomb of Pallas not far from Rome in 1401.
Mentions of eternal lamps are found in ancient chronicles and legends of India, China, Africa and South America. C. S. Downey at a conference in Pretoria spoke about a jungle village located near Mount Wilhelmina (West Irian):
Travelers who entered this village, lost among the high, unexplored mountains, were amazed at the sight of stone balls fixed on pillars and glowing with neon-like light after sunset.
Conquistador Barco Santera spoke about a mysterious city located on an island in the middle of a lake near the headwaters of the Paraguay River (Mato Grosso plateau):
At the top of a pillar more than 20 feet high, a large "moon" shone, dispelling the darkness.
The well-known explorer of South America P. G. Fossett wrote in a letter to the Englishman Lewis Spence about this jungle area and its inhabitants:
These people have an unusual light source, which, in our opinion, seems strange. They are probably the descendants of some extinct culture that left behind ancient knowledge.
Archaeologists studying the Egyptian pyramids and tombs carved into the rocks have long noticed that there are no traces of soot on their walls, which would inevitably appear if the builders used oil lamps or torches for lighting. The German electrical engineer R. Hubbeck writes:
In October 1979, our group of five investigated the temple of the goddess Hathor in the city of Dendera. On the walls of long and narrow (4.6 x 1.12 meters) rooms, which were considered cult premises, we examined several very interesting and unusual reliefs. One of them especially interested us. On this wall, figures of people are visible, and next to them are giant bulbs, similar to modern incandescent lamps. Inside the "lamps" are "wavy snakes". Maybe these are symbolic filaments? Sharp tails of snakes enter the "lotus flower". It does not even take a minimum of imagination to see in the "lotus", which covers the narrow part of the transparent bulb, an ordinary electric socket or lamp base. The relief also shows a kind of cable connecting this device to a box similar to our distribution box. Next to the figure of a demonholding two knives with the blades up, - a symbol of protection. And since it is known that working with electricity is dangerous, this demon can be a warning (like the modern skull with crossed bones).
An expert in the field of electrical engineering W. Harn suggested that the so-called "Jet poles" located next to the "transparent bulb with snakes" are very similar to modern high voltage insulators. In his opinion, the Egyptian priests had at their disposal something like a high-voltage Van de Graaff generator. With the help of such a device, a voltage of several hundred thousand volts can be obtained. V. Harn created a working model of such a generator and Egyptian "lamps". Talking about his experiences, he writes:
If you evacuate air from a glass bulb with two metal rods inside, then an electric discharge occurs at a much lower voltage. At a pressure of 40 mm Hg, a thread discharge jumps from one of the rods, accompanied by a glow. If you continue to evacuate air, the discharge becomes wider until it fills all the free space of the flask. All this fully corresponds to the relief in the Hathor temple.
