The Roman Head from Mexico

[Praefectusclassis]

Ralph, is this the thread about planes you were looking for?

[Viventius]

The Roman soldier then probably wrote his memoirs at Maiden castle. It is now suggested that his crocodile, mistaking the pile of papyrus for a small child ate it for lunch. The poor creature then expired being unable to digest a bad vowel conjugation. The beloved creature was then interred. During excavation I suspect a Dr. I. Jones, who was known to be active in the 1930s, probably made off the manuscripts which were found in the crocodile's belly.

Good grief! It's all starting to make sense now ... hock:

Tecazic-Calixtlahuaca

Tecaxic-Calixtalahuacians

Well, Ralph, make up your mind, which one is it?

This is the same Dr. Jones of whom I wrote a previous post on, who found the Roman planes in a hanger in Egypt. (I recall Vortigen and other regulars contributing to that thread.) I note the suspicious disappearance of that thread from the RAT archive. Is there, I ask, a possibility of a larger conspiracy to keep The Truth of the mystic past from the people?

I remember that one too (hides in shame) but I can't find it again... :wink:

Actually Robert, I think the "x" and "z' are interchangeable in Nahuatl. But it was a typo anyway. Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca. Or something like that. Either way I can't pronounce it, so why should I be able to spell it? Also, I misspelled Vortigern. Sorry about that.

That you cannot find the thread is no surprise. I believe there is a secret brotherhood dedicated to maintaining the status quo on ancient knowledge. It is whispered the name is the Order Of Order (OOO). Uh-huh...

Ah Ha! I see you know the Order's secret facial gesture recognition code! ... as I suspected....

By the way, the guy who flew the first model plane was Greek, not Roman by the name of Archytas,..... :wink:
Would you have to sail across the Bermuda Triange to arrive at what is it called....where the head was found- Calixtlahuaca? :wink:

Acording to the Legend the first aviators were Greeks Dedalus and Ikarus.
Also the first airplane reconansnace mission and first close combat air support mission were done by Greeks.
1st Balcan War 1912 2nd leutanant Dimitrios Kamberos spoted turkish targets for the Greek artillery and he bombarded the Turkish trenches in Elasona using hand grenades :!: in support of the Evzoni Attack.
Thanks for the links.
Kind regards

No, Róman planes. It was me, mistaking a question about woodworking with the aviation stuff! oops:

Quite right, I mean it is fascinating when say, a small 'so called satue of Buddha' turns up in a Viking context in Birka, Sweden,

Why so impossible?The Vikings managed to get to Constantinople(Miklagaard i think they called it).Its not beyond possibilities that an itinerant Silk trader from China or Buddist area took one with him and it found its way into the posession of Halfdan the Halfwit and he returned home with it as a present for the wife?Is it?

However I found this about Archytas....
Archytas and the pigeon
...but sound authority holds that Archytas of Tarentum experimented with kites and toy flying machines, including a wooden dove that flew by "the secret blowing of air enclosed inside," perhaps a primitive compressed-air mechanism. The pigeon in one of the experiments was able to fly 200 meters! Archytas of Tarentum was a Greek mathematician, political leader and philosopher, active in the first half of the fourth century BC (i.e., during Plato's lifetime).
[i]The only mechanical device that can with some probability be assigned to Archytas, apart from the children's toy known as a “clapperâ€ÂÂ

Ah yes... If memory serves, in opposition to the idea that there were hand gliders at Dura Eropos, I proposed they were actually buzz bombs. Everybody knows that there was no proper air-cover at that time in the East. The aircraft trireme, "Tiberius", had a catapult malfunction and could not launch... and it went on...

However I must add... It was the discovery of the Maiden Castle manuscripts in the crocodile's belly by Dr. Jones that led him to South America in 1936. He then went to Egypt. A German archaeological team was focused on the excavation of a religious artifact. Less known, part of the team did discover the Roman aircraft hanger attributed to the III Ala Aero Thracia, and the planes inside. These were left because of mechanical problems when the Ala was transferred to join Trajan's Parthia effort. The Ala expected to return, but did not. It was sent by Hadrian to a new base near Zeugma.
