Bird like objects were found near Saqqara, Egypt in 1898 A.D. But item no. 6347 marked "Special Register" was distinctive. It was more than just a bird it was an airplane.

An Egyptologist Khalil Messiha discovered it in 1969 A.D. He asked Egypt's ministry of culture to investigate the matter. The committee concluded that the seven-inch-long model, built of light Sycamore wood and weighing only 1.11 ounces. Seemed to incorporate principles of aircraft design that had taken modern engineers decades of experimentation to discover and perfect.

More than that, they found that the glider worked, more than 2,000 Years after its construction. It still sailed easily through the air, at the slightest flick of the hand.
