The Quimbaya artifacts are several dozen golden objects, found in Colombia, made by the Quimbaya civilization culture, dated around 1000 CE. Although they may not be as famous as those of the Mayans or the Incas, the treasures it left behind after it disappeared from Colombia around 1,000 years ago are very intriguing. In particular, these small golden figures. The Quimbaya Airplanes. Some wonder if this is proof that the Quimbaya mastered flight. When scaled-up, the models of the figurines have been found to be highly capable of flying. But whether this is just a coincidence, or proof the Quimbayas had knowledge of flight, is up for debate.
