Everything can fly if it's light enough and with enough power... This proves nothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sphks ( talk • contribs) 16:07, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Citation 2 is a poor choice. It's poorly formed opinion at best. The knowledge of early aircraft construction displayed in this cited blog is substantially lacking. The summary of citation two comments on the statistical significance, or lack thereof, regarding the unexplained remainder is trite. All it takes to prove a theory wrong is one instance, that is the statistically significant number. I ask that it be removed as a citation due to it's inappropriateness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.197.10.64 ( talk) 02:12, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Looks like a stylized Bull shark to me, with exaggerated frontal fins, rectal fins and the typical asymmetrical tail fin. Anything hydrodynamically adapted such as a shark, will also "fly" in air — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.227.33.198 ( talk) 22:49, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
It's unlikely that we'll ever find hard evidence to determine exactly what they represented, so discussion of that here is somewhat unhelpful. Some interesting facts that would be useful to have added to this page would be when and where they were discovered (and by whom). On [1] I read "“The so-called Quimbaya Treasure was looted in 1890 from two tombs in the site of La Soledad, near the Municipality of Filandia (Quindío Department, Colombia), amidst the Central Cauca Valley” (Perea. 2013. 2.1)." and on other pages that they are located in Gold Museum in Bogotá, Colombia and other museums around the world, but I don't have any way of verifying any of this. Can anyone help with more verifiable info please? JohnGH ( talk) 17:45, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

If you look at Talk:Quimbaya artifacts there's a question by an editor no longer around about the location of these artefacts. Sadly the article itself concentrates on fringe claims. However, on the talk page there's a link to a pdf [2] which might be useful at least for the location if not more. Any chance you can help? Thanks. Doug Weller talk 18:30, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
This article does not even seem to be about the title. The image is quite unrelated. The artefacts are small gold objects that look like things that fly, not a helmet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.124.206 ( talk) 21:06, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
