This incredible documentary examines a number of surprising archaeological finds that have led historians to new conclusions about the technology invented by ancient peoples to get them from A to B. It is well known that sophisticated shipping technology was prevalent throughout the Classical world, but few historians have questioned how ancient people travelled overland, or moved their building materials and goods. It is now clear that our ancient ancestors developed complex systems to solve their transportation problems.



We also reveal that evidence of possible flying machines goes all the way back to ancient Greek, Egyptian and Chinese societies. Tombs in Abydos, Egypt, are adorned with hieroglyphics shaped remarkably like a modern helicopter. Experts contend that an artefact found in a tomb in Saqqara is a model of an Egyptian airplane.
