You can see that Some of the exhibits in the egyptian museum in cairo definitely have a curious resemblance

to the flying vehicles and aeroplanes that we are presently using today. The puranas of ancient india are filled withnarrations of varioustypes of flying contraptions which were capable of doing wonderful feats in the air and were able to cover great distances in a very short time. The 'Maya'( Architect of Gods) is supposed to be an expert in the construction and maintenance of these flying vehicles and the detils are actually given in sime of the obscure devanagari shlokas of sub puranas.
