Ancient Model Aircraft

There are artifacts belonging to ancient Egyptian and Central American cultures that look amazingly like modern-day aircraft. The Egyptian artifact, found in a tomb at Saqquara, Egypt in 1898, is a six-inch wooden object that strongly resembles a model airplane, with fuselage, wings and tail. 

Experts believe the object is so aerodynamic that it is actually able to glide. The small object was discovered in Central America (shown above) and is estimated to be 1,000 years old. It is made of gold and could easily be mistaken for a model of a delta-wing aircraft or even the Space Shuttle. It even features what looks like a pilot’s seat.

Four Utah rescuers swear they heard a voice calling for help from an overturned vehicle in an icy river.

After they flipped the vehicle, which was on its hood in the Spanish Fork River, they discovered inside only a deceased woman and her unconscious 18-month-old girl, who had hung upside down for about 14 hours.

The infant, Lily Groesbeck, survived as the water flowing through the car never touched her as she hung by straps in her car seat, police said. The girl was listed Sunday in stable but critical condition at a Salt Lake City hospital. Doctors say she is doing remarkably well. (Source)
