Saqqara bird is made of a sycamore tree the birdie has a wingspan of just 7 in and weighs around 40 g a perfect original souvenir from Egypt I would say it's over 2,000 years old and looks pretty plain without any carvings of feathers or other intricate ornaments it has a beak and eyes though which makes our fine look like a hawk the emblem of the deity Horus its tail is rather unusual as it's squared looks weirdly upright and it seems like the sunken part of it was the place for a now missing piece humans love solving a good mystery so there have been several attempts to explain the use of the birdie first quite simply is that it was a ceremonial object the second idea is that it was a toy for a child from some well--of family it could have been some sort of boomerang which was a popular Concept in ancient Egypt then there was a theory that the bird had been used as a Weather Vein but this one has been debunked as the figure doesn't have any holes or markings except for the one made at the Museum in Cairo to fix the exhibit on a stick so there was no way to hang it in the past almost a century after the bird was found Egyptologist Dr. Khalil MSA proposed a new theory that it could have been a model of a monoplane he believed the bird was missing a horizontal tail plane otherwise it had its wings set at a right angle similar to that of modern planes it could have worked to generate the aerodynamic lift necessary for flights Dr. MSA also claimed that it was common at that time to place miniature models of technological inventions in tombs so did the ancient Egyptians really invent the plane in 200 BCE that would make the wright brothers who are considered the inventors of Aviation really really upset they made one of their first flights only in 1903 there's just one way to know for sure and that is to test the model but you know the ancient Museum in Cairo would unlikely let one of their cherished exhibits fly around like a toy that's why glider designer Martin Gregory built a similar model this time a balsawood and concluded that even with the missing tail plane the plane wasn't much of a flyer case solved not really this didn't sound convincing enough to the History Channel so they invited an aerodynamics expert to build another replica of the bird he tested it in weather conditions similar to those in Egypt and was impressed with the little plain's abilities so if they did invent the Prototype of a plane back in the times of pharaohs it would be a good example of an art that's an out-of-place artifact an object that's way ahead of its time in terms of technology or history.

You've been roaming this forest for several days you want to drink eat and sleep scary animal screams don't allow you to rest at night you feel extremely cold there's no hope but you keep walking through the bushes suddenly you see some movement out of the corner of your eye over there behind the trees what is it a bear Panther couple of wolves the last thing you want to meet is one of these dangerous guys but no these are the rescue robots they've been talking about on TV several dozen machines fill the clearing they look like dog-sized spiders this shape helps the robots climb trees and reach mountaintops their bodies can withstand Falls from Big Heights deal with wild animals Fire and Water these mechanical spiders have found you thanks to their motion sensors and modern thermal imagers that's what the robots of the future will look like and here are some robots of today meet a soft robotic pillow with a tail it can move and curl its tail when you touch it what's our next goal Mars colonization H excellent we're ready I'll just go get my pillow How likely is it that you'll want to eat a tomato while jogging let's admit it the chances are probably very small and still Japanese designers have built the tomato robot you're supposed to wear it on your back like a backpack during a run you only need to press a special lever and the robot will bring a tomato towards your mouth all that's left for you to do is just bite into it.

In the middle of the 20th century chemists William Larsson and Anthony Finelli came up with the idea of a tubeless tire that could be painted red yellow or green the tire was Semi-transparent engineers put 18 light bulbs inside it the tire creators decided that people would surely like their idea after all they could make the color of the wheels match the color of their clothes unfortunately the glowing tires never went on sale they were beautiful but not functional.

In 1901 a group of divers retrieved the Antikythera mechanism from an underwater shipwreck near the Greek island of Antikythera it's been dubbed the world's first analog computer and it's currently dated around 100 BCE the bronze mechanism could tell the position of the sun and moon planets and stars as well as the lunar phase the dates of upcoming solar eclipses and even the speed at which the moon moves through the sky no one's sure who used it and how or where it was made but it's obvious that it's extremely precise and way too advanced for its time.

Internet users claimed to have found this item in a regular package of sour cream chips the disc had a serial number weight and metal type information engraved on its surface unfortunately it's not an ancient coin and not a box prize it's the result of defective packaging manufacturers put metal test objects in some of the bags to test whether their x-ray detector works properly that's how they prevent any magnetic rubbish in the bags like splinters or tiny details from the machines ideally the X-ray system should detect all the packages with metal objects and sort them out but apparently, sometimes it makes exceptions so if you find something like this in your chips it makes sense to contact the manufacturers to help them prevent dangers for other people they will have to do an internal investigation and fix the metal detectors and document flow but the most important question is to eat or not to eat well the chips might be edible but keep in mind that the disc wasn't completely hygienic when it fell on the conveyor but no worries usually, manufacturers send a few boxes of their product and some money certificates as an apology.
