The ancient model aircraft that scientists can't explain. We look at the ancient Quimbaya model that scientists can't explain.

The Quimbaya were a pre-colombian culture living in South America from 300 to 1550 CE, they were well known for their incredible skills in very precise gold and metalwork. Among the figurines discovered, some models actually resemble what some believe to be, “flying machines.

In 1994, German aeronautical engineers Peter Belting and Conrad Lubbers created larger scale radio-controlled models of these artifacts. They proved that the designs fly with both simple single-propeller power and jet power. The astonishing reality of these artifacts sets in when one considers that mechanical flight had not been invented until the Wright Brothers flights in 1903. How then, could the pre-Columbians of 1000 B.C., understand the advanced concepts of aerodynamic lift and design?
