So, I took a look. There is something really weird about Babylon: The ancients seem to have known that a screw could be a basis for a wing.
The Kalanga word for a “wing” is “bapilo”. The Kalanga infinitive verb for “to rain” is “ku na”. Bearing in mind that the slaves (zwilaba) omitted the last vowel, or rather that the last vowel was always embedded in the last consonant, the word “Babylon” extrapolates to the Kalanga expression “Bapilo-na”, which translates to the English “raining wing” or “wing that causes rain”.
Now, some wise scientists of today believe that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were irrigated/watered by means of a screw pump, lifting water from one level to the next. So the ancients called this screw “a wing that caused it to rain”. So the question is “where did they see the screw used as a wing (for flight) when they did not have helicopters?”
It makes you wonder about the unicorn, a horse with a “spiral horn” or the Pegasus, a horse with wings – mythical creatures of course, but ones that imagination may have moulded upon more ancient and real, flying craft. Interestingly the horn of a unicorn-type animal in China had the colours of the present Egytian flag! Question is “was it a horn or a wing?”
