seems to me that if you stand it on the "tail," it looks like a monster with a gaping mouth and big feet and a cape. Maybe we are just looking at it on the wrong plane. (heh...plane...)

Yeah, with when you stick an engine on and alter the shape slightly yes. Not remotely the same thing as an ancient plane flying.

I don't think it looks like a dragonfly.  It's the artists interpretation or a natural creature.

Wouldn't it be most likely that the "artifact" is the same type of thing?  

What else was found with it?  

Nibs

No, see, Nibs, what you have to understand is that according to the rules of fringery-non-sense, it's an unbreakable, unquestionable tenet that no individual, race, culture or society before 1978 possessed any amount of imagination or creativity. Every single piece of art before that day in 1978 slavishly reproduced exactly something that occurred in the world around the artist. No one ever made anything up. Art was completely literal, in every piece ever created.

Really, I don't know how you could function believing otherwise. You must think everything that appears in print is not literally true, too! ;)

Translation: I'm not going to run the risk finding out I'm completely and utterly wrong about something just so I can know what I'm talking about, and how dare you attempt to get me to do so!

Honestly, Matt, where do you get off in expecting people to converse knowledgeably about a subject they're attempting to pretend to know about?

South American Earthmoving Machine?

Ivan Sanderson, the same Zoologist who initially evaluated the “Pre-Columbian Jet” suggested after his study of this artifact that the pre-Columbians had zoomorphicized some earthmoving machine that they had somehow encountered.




We’re not at all ready to go there. However, this piece seems to be completely out of place and time. First, the wheel was virtually unknown in the pre-Columbian”World; the Maya Olmecs and Inca’s are reported by mainstream archaeology not to have utilized or known of it.

This artifact utilizes the wheel and gears to the befuddlement of archaeology. According to the Tom MacGuinness’s Website;

“This cryptoarchaeological artifact, which is exquisite in design and construction, represents one of the very few examples of wheels used in Pre-columbian Mesoamerica.

It is unclear what the wheel's purpose is in this design - it is similar to a tool used in leather working, but clearly this piece it too well crafted for such a purpose…

Source:Online Museum of Pre-Columbian Gold”.

Backstory: From 1920 to 1952 the Peabody Museum of the University of Harvard made a series of excavations near the town of Penonomé, to the Southwest of Panama.

In 1940 doctor J. Alden Mason found a singular piece pertaining to the Coclé culture, like the others. One was a medallón of gold of about 11 centimeters in length, with a green stone.

Coclé is the name of the Panamanian province. At the moment the piece is in an exhibition at The University Museum of Archeology and Anthropology of the University of Pennsylvania.




It was there that Ivan it T. Sanderson, the famous UFOlogist and American cryptozoologist came across the piece.

To Sanderson it looked like backhoe or a mechanical dredge. Sanderson thought that the claws of the animal looked like wheels; the teeth of their snout would be the "teeth" of the mechanical dredge; in the later part it would have two gears that would serve to elevate the "bucket".

The back of the animal, according to Sanderson, is the cover of the motor. Both sides lights, and other two in the eyes of the animal can be seen.
