6Saqqara Bird

Found in a tomb excavation in 1898, the Saqqara Bird has been rumored, by believers in the Ancient Astronaut Theory, to be evidence of advanced flight in ancient Egypt. They note the vertical tail of the “bird” resembles a tailplane on an aircraft as opposed to the horizontal tail feathers of a real bird. The lack of legs, and the angle of the wings has lent to speculation about the design’s capability of aerodynamic lift. Tests performed on recreations of the artifact have shown it to have no aerodynamic properties conductive to flight. Modern scientific theories suggest it’s either a religious artifact or even just a simple children’s toy.

6 萨卡拉木鸟

萨卡拉木鸟于1898年在一次墓穴开掘中发现，古代宇航员理论的相信者声称它是古埃及存在先进飞行技术的证据。他们指出，该“鸟”的垂直尾部类似于飞机上的横尾翼，而与真正鸟类的水平尾羽方向相反。足部的缺失以及双翼的角度不禁让人对这种设计的空气动力升力产生猜测。对这种手工制品复制品的实验表明，它并不具备有利于飞行的空气动力属性。现代科学理论表明，它要么是一种宗教制品，要么只不过是一个简单的儿童玩具。
