On Monday’s episode of Ancient Aliens: Origins, the narrative explores the intriguing evidence of ancient flying machines documented across various cultures.

The episode features artifacts like the Saqqara Bird from ancient Egypt, displayed in the Cairo Museum, which bears a striking resemblance to modern aircraft.

Additionally, ancient Sanskrit texts describe vimanas, intricate flying machines attributed to the gods, with detailed technical specifications. Early biblical accounts also reference similar concepts, such as “chariots of the gods.”

Experts including Giorgio Tsoukalos, William Henry, and Jason Martell examine the archives and consider the potential persistence of extraterrestrial encounters throughout history, arguing that these ancient narratives may hold more than just mythological significance.

Ancient Aliens: Origins airs Monday, October 14, 2024, at 9:00 PM on History and streams the next day on Hulu.
