    The Quimbaya artifacts are several dozen golden objects, found in Colombia, made by the Quimbaya civilization culture, dated around 1000 CE, a few of which (the so-called Quimbaya airplanes) are supposed by ancient astronauts theorists to represent modern airplanes, and therefore to be out-of-place artifacts. The whole of the figurines, measuring 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) each, are described in mainstream archaeology as depicting birds, lizards, amphibians and insects common in that region and period, some of them highly stylized, as in the Gold Museum, Bogotá.

    The Gold Museum (or in Spanish "El Museo del Oro") is a museum which is located in Bogota. It shows an extraordinary selection of the pre-Hispanic gold work collection. It is the largest collection in the world. The Gold Museum has more than 30 thousand pieces of gold artifacts and 20 thousand pieces of ceramics, textiles, etc. from pre-Columbian cultures in that part of South America now called Colombia.
