UFO believers ascertain that there is evidence in ancient texts that clearly describes ancient aerial battles taking place in ancient time. Did ancient cultures have somehow the power of flight before the invention of aircraft? The ability to fly has always been a dream of mankind for hundreds of years and we have only perfected the use of planes, jets, and even space craft in the last 100 years. But is it possible that the ability to fly is actually a lost ancient secret that our ancestors somehow knew about existed. Skeptics disagree about the knowledge of flight in ancient times, but there are interesting anomalies around the world that clearly show they knew something about it the power of flight.

Archaeologists discovered a small gold trinkets dating back to the pre-Inca era around 500 A.D. that strikingly resemble small jet fighters. I first thought to represent local insects when scientists studied these pre-Colombian gold artifacts; they discovered that the design was unlike any insect they had ever seen. Some researchers took upon themselves to build a small model and launch it in the air and discover to their amazement that it actually flew like a modern airplane glider. In Egypt for example there inside a tomb discovered in 1898 was found a small wooden airplane, a glider that actually flies just like the real thing even without a modern engine attached. Why would someone design a perfectly accurate airplane 2000 years ago that could fly? And why did it take us 2000 years later to learn to fly again?

There are many tales and legends of earlier flights dating back thousands of years ago from different cultures scattered around the world. There is an ancient mythical story of Emperor King Cheng Tang in China some 4000 years ago, who was at war and wanted to smite his enemies and so he ordered the construction of a flying chariot to reach the province of Honan. It is written that once the aircraft was constructed, tested flight worthy, used on its mission, the Emperor ordered its destruction for fear that such a powerful instrument such as this could be used against him in the future and on any one else as a lethal weapon.

Could this be where the story of UFOs is originating from? Is it possible that an ancient culture more advanced than other civilizations of mankind existed at the same time? Scientists just discovered that it is possible that Homo sapiens and Neanderthals were living at the same time and perhaps interacting with one another before
