Have you seen this? It defies the concept of “linear” civilization?

Plato stated that there were former advance civilizations predating his times that made his civilization “appear as an infant” (rudimentary)… it appears from these Egyptian hieroglyphics of space craft, a helicopter and other anti-gravitical vehicles and transporters that there once existed a former global technoculture having highly advance technologies predating our ancient history; and indicating that human civilization may actually be recurrent and cyclic.
Evidence appears to indicate that former global technocultures were annihilated by “transterrestrial” periodic cosmocataclysms that wiped away the all evidence of the former civilizations and returned a small remnant of post-catastrophic survivors back to a state of Neobarbarism to begin the slow and incremental process of “recivilization” all over again.
Planetmatt… Have you been living under a rock?
The military have work horse “heavy-lift” helicopters with a big “HOLE” in the center for cargo module connection…

It’s NOT the Egyptians that built the pyramids; it was a former global technoculture and the heavy ton blocks where transported by this means. The Egyptians were merely post-catastrophic generations that reassembled a Neobarbaric civilization in this location of Egypt “after” the cosmocataclysm that struck Earth.
Try opening your eyes.

It does not defy anything. You are simply mapping vague symbols to modern day objects that look similar from certain angles. It is a human trait to look for pattern and relationships and as can be demonstrated by looking at clouds, it is very easy to make something in nothing.
Why should the first glyph be a helicopter? Sure some of the elements match but what about the large hole in the middle? If we today, had no concept of a helicopter, we would just find something else that we thought looked similar.
Mapping a glyph to an imaginary object (Millenium Falcon) is just absurd.
Plato watched too many Sci-Fi movies.
Possibly possible. But not very probable.
You need to show something more than glyphs that people have reinterpreted to “show” advanced technology.
Infrastructure remains are not found, and that is what you’d need. The civilization you describe would have left remains.
Finally, their is nothing particularly “linear” about civilization. Any study of history tells us that much.

Yes I have!
You should read the description of the Iron Thunderbolt that blew up the Rishi cities in the Hindu epic ‘the Mahabharata’. Also ‘Indra’s Bow’.
…a single projectile Charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame
As bright as the thousand suns Rose in all its splendour…
a perpendicular explosion with its billowing smoke clouds…
…the cloud of smoke rising after its first explosion
formed into expanding round circles like the opening of giant parasols…
..it was an unknown weapon, An iron thunderbolt, A gigantic messenger of death, Which reduced to ashes
The entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas.
…The corpses were so burned As to be unrecognisable.
The hair and nails fell out; Pottery broke without apparent cause, And the birds turned white.
Also, look up the description of the fiery chariot in Ezekiel. It describes four wings all joined at the centre and turning as one, just like helicopter rotor blades, and track wheels on it.
