They discovered an ancient monoplane in an Egyptian pyramid.

You participated in excavations in Sakara, a location not far from Cairo, in the year 1898, lots of pyramids and old tombs. When you feel like Indiana Jones, I hope you discover something very incredible to achieve fame: mummies, gold texts, and treasure maps. A wooden bird is waiting for a famous pharaoh. You seem to be terribly disappointed like a standard toy that is still in good condition. You have no idea how many years will pass. It would be suggested that your bird was, in reality, a vintage monoplane. Consequently, the object known as the Sakara “The bird” is constructed of sycamore wood. Birdie only has a seven-inch wingspan and is about 40 grams in weight. An authentic memento from Egypt may say it exceeds 2000 years old and plain, with no carvings of feathers or other complex embellishments. It does, however, have a beak and eyes, giving our wonderful bird the appearance of a hawk, the emblem of the deity Horus. Its tail is particularly peculiar in that it is squared and appears oddly erect, and it appears that the recessed area of it was the location of the now-missing piece.
