The text appears to be a transcript of a video discussion about the existence of ancient civilizations' advanced technologies, particularly in relation to airplanes. The speaker begins by expressing skepticism towards claims of such technologies, suggesting that they often turn out to be false or misleading. They then proceed to discuss various historical instances of alleged ancient airplanes, such as the Quimbaya civilization in Colombia and the Saqqara bird in Egypt.
The speaker also mentions the controversial figure of Ivan Sanderson, a cryptozoologist who claimed that certain gold artifacts were models of ancient airplanes. Despite these claims being dismissed by aircraft engineers, Sanderson persisted in his belief.
The speaker also discusses the skepticism and conspiracy theories surrounding these claims, suggesting that they are often driven by the desire for higher ratings or sensationalism. They conclude by expressing a desire to present the whole story without bias, emphasizing the need for factual evidence.
1. Ancient civilizations used to be more developed than we are now.
2. Mysterious artefacts suggest that ancient civilizations not only invented flying machines but also things more advanced than what we have today.
3. In 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci observed birds fly and drew sketches of a flying machine based on the principle of flapping big wings and human control.
4. In 1969, an exhibition was held where jewels of an ancient civilization were shown. Some of these jewels were models of small flying machines.
5. Pre-Columbian cultures, which were in America before European discovery, had very beautiful jewels made from gold and copper alloys.
6. Ivan Sanderson, a cryptozoologist, claimed that gold jewels were models of ancient airplanes.
7. Arthur Young, an aircraft engineer, was consulted by Ivan Sanderson. Young stated that the object was not an airplane.
8. Jack Ullrich, an air force engineer, confirmed Ivan Sanderson's assumption that the object was a flying machine.
9. The Saqqara bird, a 2000 year old figurine, has been suggested by some to be a model of an ancient aircraft.
10. Martin Gregory, an aircraft engineer, rejected the claim that the Saqqara bird could fly, stating it would never fly without a stabilizer.
11. The History channel produced a film where a stabilizer was attached to the Saqqara bird, and it flew in a computer program, but the experiment was run incorrectly.
12. The professor who suggested that the Saqqara bird was a model of an ancient aircraft also practised complementary medicine and astrology.
13. There is no archeological evidence pointing to the fact that ancient civilizations ever made any kind of aircraft.
14. The claim that ancient civilizations invented aircraft is often discredited due to a lack of solid evidence.
