I always blamed ancient antisemitic aliens for creating that geometric figure because it's COMPLETELY impossible for humans to create that on their own even though many languages in different parts of the world developed similar characters.
The plane shaped gold object is actually part of a series of flying fish sculptures. Flying fish are common in the same area of which the artifacts were located.
that does make sense, but it is very hard to believe that they made these sculptures that can legitimately fly when scaled up with the exact same design and ratios by accident if they really were just interpretations of birds and flying fish. Making something that can fly requires precision and knowledge, not something you can really do just by coincidence.

Everyone was making fun of nathan and posting hatful comments against him and when he leaved everybodys comments turned into "wheres nathan?" "I miss nathan" "i liked nathan more" did anybody else notice that?
I think we're not giving ancient people enough credit. We have just as much brain potential today as we were thousands of years ago, so why couldn't people have invented things like kick-ass gliders and such? Human beings are crazy smart and when we get bored we create cool stuff. Then we decorate than cool stuff with more cool stuff and the result is something that doesn't make logical sense. Try explaining a big metal wind chime to a time traveler, for example. The thing is: paper rots. Wood rots. Fabric rots. We only have the more permanent records and objects around today, so it's obvious that we don't have the delicate things anymore. All we have are metal depictions of something that unfortunately didn't survive wear and tear, and after a few generations of being out of style everyone forgot about them. I want a dragonfly glider, damnit!
Actually I hated some of Nathan's quirky narration. He's improved 100%!! I really enjoyed this video! I like the other guy he hired also though. Either way it's still Nathan's script. Good job Nathan!

#7 - The Quimbiya or Tolima gold sculptures that are supposed to be of space ships are of catfish. Of course they aerodynamic. Fish by nature are aerodynamic. #6 - Those screws are fossilized ancient shellfish. #4 - There is no provenance to that aluminum object. How do we know it REALLY was found in a piece of coal? How do we know that it wasn't put there by a broken piece of mining equipment? #3 - We know who made them and when they were made. All we don't know is why. They look like gambing pieces. #2 - The Mayans probably made the symbols up themselves. There is no proof otherwise. #1 - Never underestimate the ingenuity of people.
Fish may seem to fly/glide, but all possess one of three things at least by any artists hand when wanting to convey the notion his offering is that of a fish. A Dorsal fin. A Caudal fin, or the most common...Scales. Without at least one of these, there is no defining feature that says "FISH". Not now, nor in any image or sculpture I can find in all the long history of art does such an example exist.
i like ur vids a lot... plz keep doing it. its very educational n it helps a lot in clearing some of the false info that r given to us just to keep the real truth hidden. so thank u :)
I think the mayan carvings just happened to be similar. I mean swastika is an incredibly simple geometrical shape. Some kid could have carved it as a graffiti.
Ancients used dragons to show fire or a creature that breaths fire. Those plane trinkets are interesting, they are planes with a dragon head, so fire? right? That is more interesting, think about it.
Sorry to ruin the magic, but there is a species of catfish located in a river near where the trinkets were found that looks remarkably like the artifacts.
1:25 i am more inclined to believe that these resemble fish with the eyes and the teeth and the pectoral fins. modern aircraft do not have teeth, eyes and fins.
Ancient civilizations often out animal features onto non-animal ornaments and objects. That doesn't really take away from the fact that these very much look like airplanes. But, I think the most plausible answer is that these are just pimped out versions of ancient glider toys people made for their kids.
It's just a representation of a dragon with a tail, the proof of it is there a face, if it was a representation of a plane, then, there will be no dragon head.
The dragon shape was taken from the shapes of actual existing flying animals. Flying animals have aerodynamically efficient body shapes. Therefore, the aerodynamically efficient shape. I don't see the mystery there.
There would be no dragon head? Maybe, maybe not. Was there a scientific reason for vikings to put dragon heads on their longboats? Did it make the boats faster or safer? No, the reasons were entirely cultural. I'm not saying that those things are actually supposed to be airplanes. Just that people designing planes in dragon style is plausible. Heck, there is even a plane decorated with Pikachu...
Rebel420 Free Rebel Army The west needs it's religious foundation to maintain cultural and moral order. Without religion we are a bunch of transgenders, gays, sluts, thugs etc. We need to let people know that if you aren't a good person than you will burn alive forever and that if they behave they will go to heaven. Only way to keep the humans in line with natures rules. Man and women have a child and raise it according to God's law. God may not exist but we sure as hell need God. Don't rebel against a God and western values. We need to preserve the west or we will fall like the Romans.
okay... you got me... i'll subscribe. edit: did it.i just like how you leave it all up in the air for the viewer to think about instead of drawing your own conclusions.
3. Another possibility for the dodechahedrons is that they were used as a thermostat. If left out in the sun the metal heats up, and an accompanying ball or stick would be passed through the holes. The more holes you can pass the ball through gives you an idea of the temperature.
Based on what you are saying it could also be a portable calendar of some sort that can be used as a compass of you were on place or boat, since it’s easy at night be navigate by stars but by day you would need another method. By the same principles as you have described they could navigate by day.
The Roman dodecahedron, made of metal, found at 4:57, has twelve different size holes. The text at 5:38 says "...candlestick holders (wax was found inside two examples)..." Back in the days before standardized candlestick sizes, the hand-made candles were all different sizes. These were universal candlestick holders. The knobs were feet to keep the device stable on a tabletop, no matter which way it was turned. The stone ones were done in this style because it was a popular candlestick holder design. You soften the base of the candlestick with flame and press it onto the stone candlestick holder.
#3 Looks like it'd be a pretty fun "toy" to roll around... Maybe they had an ancient game they played with it when they were bored that they never really bothered writing down because it was so casual and common? Who knows?
If you could make a video about crazy, amazing gold stories that would be awesome! like gold being found in spots it has no business being in!! Anyway, Great video!! I give it 👍👍
Nathan, I hope this isn't just a throw back! Stick around buddy! I've been subbed for a long time.... I almost left. It's your channel hun, you make it amazing! If you need a fill in every so often I understand but please stay. BTW I could tell the jokes were still yours but he couldn't pull them off like you do!
The Baghdad Battery was reproduced by the Mythbusters some years ago and they found a practical use for it: electrolysis, to produce small pieces of copper-plated jewellery.
Comment Post Why, because they do it on TV? They reproduced this thing and did things with it. Period. You can do the same if you don't believe. Experiments can be repeated.
Nem a Tolvajkergetők The issue is that it is a TV show and they are driven to achieve results to create a show, so that they have a sellable product. I'm sure both Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman would agree that is the flaw within their testing. Also they often aren't as rigorous as a scientific paper would be. Always look up.
Comment Post If you were right, Mythbusters' tests would've always worked. But they don't. Also, their dedicated fans always pointed out the slightest mistake. If you don't believe them, repeat their experiment yourself. In this case it's not very dangerous.
+Nem a Tolvajkergetők Clearly missing my point. I'm not doubting that they contribute and go a certain distance, just that they aren't an authority. I'm trying to encourage further critical thinking but you just settle and feel your ego challenged.
Make a glider shaped like a V-2 and see if it flies? It flies, but not without thrust The one thing to be seen in so many comments here, is a total lack of thought before posting. Oh! The state of modern education.
My wife should be on this list.
Is she looks like an airplane or the Baghdad battery? : /)
mate that joke's been done to death
Or maybe they just don't want tourists to touch the highly radioactive pipes.
Y'know, because they're highly radioactive.
No way!!! Nathan's back. Everyone rejoice the ruler has returned.
Yay our Nathan has returned!
yaaaaas
FINALLY!! Our lord Nathan has returned
hail nathan!
I just read the ruler has reruled
The swastika actually was a widely used symbol all over the world, from Asia to the Nordic countries to even Native American cultures.

Good point.
I agree, it really annoys me when people claim that any ancient structures they don't understand must have been made by either aliens or giants
Nathan! You're back! I like the other narrator, but you're the man. Maybe you guys can swith off narrating every other day?
I totally wouldn't mind that! I did like the other narrator too! Both of them are great
Actually I hated some of Nathan's quirky narration. He's improved 100%!! I really enjoyed this video! I like the other guy he hired also though. Either way it's still Nathan's script. Good job Nathan!

hahaha
so Romans played D&D too...
"t-rex in a LAB COAT" nailed it!!
I like this Top Mysteries channel. A lot less spooky and creepy than most others and adds that feel of curiosity rather than fear.
literally Jumped out of my sit when i heard his voice. Welcome back lord commander.
"is this evidence that ancient civilizations existed?"
I think that we already have enough proof that they existed...
we should make a religion called nathanism
this is a good idea.
+Strange Mysteries . is it approved or nah!?
please do more voice overs. You deliver jokes perfectly
How do i join?
+Strange Mysteries where have you been man we missed ya
I'm a sloppy time traveler, so sue me.
Sue doesn't date time travelers.
So sloppy that you left a youtube comment and went back to the future
yay! nathan is back!
Enjoyed this video but was feeling sleepy and woke up to meet those alien eyes around time 4:51. Really freaked me out for a while
i feel like crying, thank you lord Nathan for blessing us with your presence.
Good to have you back ☺
can you do your next video about when you die where do you go
i'll keep it in mind
+Strange Mysteries Nathan!
+Strange Mysteries don't a war will happen

Good to hear you again Nathan!!
that other guy wasnt really that bad but that being said im glad nathan is back
nathan izzzz baccck!!! just subscribed again!?!???? oh what a relief
Nice to hear your voice again Nathan. By the way who was the guy who did the voiceovers while you weren't? His voice sounded kinda familiar to me..
I think Nathan's had the other guy on his channel before for some videos. Not sure though.
Jody Baxmeyer
dude number 2 isnt 300 million years old.
It was you...... :D
Dude, you're not really so smart either, he tried to say number 2 is the second, like 7 is number 1 and 6 is number 2...

talking about ancient screws..."what screwed them over" lol was that pun intended?
Fun way to be introduced to this channel.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, how was your vacation?
OMG I thought the same thing!
wonderful news, thanks for sharing it.
Where is the Chintimani Stone? Or the Statue of El Dorado?
mysterious objects we dont understand 2
+Strange Mysteries among theives
What is the Statue of El Dorado?
+GermanyFan01 an ancient artifact that possesses an ancient curse
Where was it found?
I love your channel Nathan and your narration, who was the other voice in your recent videos? He was a very comical fellow.
#7 - The Quimbiya or Tolima gold sculptures that are supposed to be of space ships are of catfish. Of course they aerodynamic. Fish by nature are aerodynamic.
#6 - Those screws are fossilized ancient shellfish.
#4 - There is no provenance to that aluminum object. How do we know it REALLY was found in a piece of coal? How do we know that it wasn't put there by a broken piece of mining equipment?
#3 - We know who made them and when they were made. All we don't know is why. They look like gambing pieces.
#2 - The Mayans probably made the symbols up themselves. There is no proof otherwise.
#1 - Never underestimate the ingenuity of people.
Fish are not "aerodynamic" (though I suppose flying fish are to a small extent). Fish are hydrodynamic.
Fish may seem to fly/glide, but all possess one of three things at least by any artists hand when wanting to convey the notion his offering is that of a fish. A Dorsal fin. A Caudal fin, or the most common...Scales. Without at least one of these, there is no defining feature that says "FISH". Not now, nor in any image or sculpture I can find in all the long history of art does such an example exist.
What about #5
These are your assumptions, not facts, right? Imma move on then.
i like ur vids a lot... plz keep doing it. its very educational n it helps a lot in clearing some of the false info that r given to us just to keep the real truth hidden. so thank u :)

I think the mayan carvings just happened to be similar. I mean swastika is an incredibly simple geometrical shape. Some kid could have carved it as a graffiti.
I thin that too. XD
ya in art class, sort of thing.
tbh i also like the other narrator. You should do 1/2 vid nathan
excellent presentation ...

Sorry to ruin the magic, but there is a species of catfish located in a river near where the trinkets were found that looks remarkably like the artifacts.
Really, could you site that? Sounds interesting.
The trinkets look like fish, not birds.
Look more like fancy golden dicks with wings, don't look like fish even a tiny bit to be honest.
KreZn1x
Nah, dicks with with wings was an ancient European thing.
one of the best comedy channels on youtube xD
1:25 i am more inclined to believe that these resemble fish with the eyes and the teeth and the pectoral fins. modern aircraft do not have teeth, eyes and fins.

or the earliest versions of MiG lol

love your video
Esperanza Stone is so interesting. I can barely find info one it. THat's the most fascinating thing to me on the list.

NATHAN IS BACK !
i would mind the different voice tho :P
make a glider shaped like the objects and see if they glide, that would be a true test, not sticking an engine in it lol
Make a glider shaped like a V-2 and see if it flies? It flies, but not without thrust
The one thing to be seen in so many comments here, is a total lack of thought before posting.
Oh! The state of modern education.
I think they did make bigger replicas and they did fly/glide
number 3 is probably the inspiration of treyarch making the summoning key LOL
The battery may have been used for electroplating. Still cool though.
the kimbia thing was a fish...designed as a throwing thing...then it flew yes!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
