The Istanbul ''Rocket''

By Crusader1307

This amazing artifact has called for heated debates for many years. Many claim it is a modern Fake . Others, are not so sure. The object is almost 6-inches long and was excavated in Toprakkale, Turkey. It has been dated to 2,500 years ago. The object appears to be a model of a Spacecraft with a seated Astronaut. He is connected to his Craft with hoses and cords. Although many religious Art of the Period would be based on Demons or other Supernatural Beings - the detail and precision of the Object does not correspond with the times. What did the Artisan use as his Model?
