A museum in Iran has ancient texts that document how the flying carpet was in actual use as recently as the time of the Mongols. The secret to flying carpets may lie in a superconductive clay cooked into the dye of the carpet fabric that allowed it to use the Earth\'s magnetic leylines like an electromagnetic rail. Many historians are downplayingmyths as nothing more than fanciful stories, but as scientific research and archaeology has dug deeper, there is overwhelming evidence that myths are actually historical accounts of what people saw and experienced and are more reliable chronicles than the currently accepted accounts of academic historians.
