Haunted Highways
We’ve all heard the urban legend; a boy is driving along on a dark and stormy night. Perhaps there is a layer of fog that is decreasing the visibility. As the boy drives along he happens to spot a beautiful girl in a fancy dress, standing cold and alone on the road. The boy stops, offering the girl a ride and a chance to get out of the elements. As they drive along, the girl is quiet, upset over something. The boy tries to get a name or any information but she’s very tight lipped. At a stop the girl gets out, next to a cemetery. Later that evening, the boy will hear a story about a girl that was killed on that road, hit by a car as she waited for her prom date to pick her up. The boy will see a picture of her and realize that it was the girl he’d just given a ride to.

Could their discoveries and successes been merely a rediscovering of technologies that the ancients knew about long before we did? Is there any evidence to suggest that early humans developed the technologies needed to fly? Amazingly, there is more evidence to suggest that the ancients of the past knew more than we give them credit for.
