Mysterious Journeys: The Ghosts of Gettysburg

Have you seen the documentary “The Lost Gospels“? It’s quite worth your time if you’re interested in religion and history. The film is a “ninety minute long BBC video documentary (released in 2008, and available in nine YouTube segments) which follows the personal quest of Anglican priest Pete Owen Jones to understand the many ancient Christian texts that didn’t make it into the New Testament. The focus is principally on the Gnostic texts found at Nag Hammadi. This is an entertaining and educational introduction to the Gnostic Gospels; it is both well researched and nicely produced, with extensive location filming in Egypt.” (Text from The Gnostic Society Library – a website you will find very interesting if you enjoy researching religious texts, apocrypha, etc.)

The first segment is posted below:

 
You’re probably familiar with the Saqqara bird, an ancient Egyptian artifact, bird-shaped but mysterious in terms of possible function because it resembles a perfectly formed model glider more than it does an anatomically correct bird. Ancient astronaut theorists claim that the artifact is evidence that the ancient world was familiar with the principles of aviation and possibly much, much more as far as flying technology goes. Conventional scholars claim that the  artifact is nothing more than a child’s toy, a boomerang, or possibly a weather vane. Martin Gregorie, a builder and designer of free flight gliders, built a replica of the Saqqara Bird made of balsa wood. His findings support the conventional theory. However, alternative theories and research abound. I am a big believer in Atlantis, so it does not seem odd to me that humans would have perfected flight thousands of years ago – and that the knowledge of flight, even after the technology for achieving it was lost in later civilizations, would have been preserved in myth, art, and imagination. To my eyes, the Saqqara bird is a model of a technology that was lost, a technology that the Egyptians were fascinated by and hoped to recreate someday.
 
Here is some beautiful footage of the modern day “Smart Bird” –  Even though we are a civilization that has mastered flight, it is interesting to me that we are still so fascinated by how it works!
