Valuable Archaeological Findings That Have Shaped History Over Milennia

In the late 1800s, an intriguing bird-shaped artifact named the Saqqara Bird was unearthed from the Pa-di-Imen tomb in Saqqara, Egypt. Crafted from sycamore wood, this artifact, is believed to be ceremonial, questioning its ability to fly due to its weight and design.

Regarded as a representation of a falcon, the Saqqara Bird symbolizes important Egyptian deities like Horus and Ra Horakhty. The ambiguity of its purpose, speculated to range from a weather vane to a boomerang, makes its true value and function a subject of ongoing scholarly debate.
