In the temple of Pharaoh Seti I, an unusual sculpture has been discovered showing elements that remarkably resemble modern vehicles like airplanes and helicopters.
This temple is in the middle of Egypt, in Abydos at the River Nile and was built around 1300 BC. On one of the beams which support the roof, some hieroglyphics have been discovered. Remarkably, some of these drawings are similar to modern vehicles. Most striking is the helicopter which is an exact replica of the modern ‘sky crane’, a freight helicopter which can lift large objects such as containers or heavy military equipment. The other drawings are somewhat more ambiguous but look like a tank or submarine vessel. The fin at the tail, in combination with the design, is unmistakably an element that shows that it depects vehicles.
