cud be! but the two technologies are worlds apart (pun intended).
Wright brothers' technology is way primitive compared to the mercury-vortex engine of King Raavana
This is why i believe that superior technology existed in a period where there isnt much evidence left of. The question then arises: if there was an advanced civilization, why didnt they keep anything written?!
Answer is again simple: they didnt have to!! this may sound very simple and stupid. but we have to look at things from their point of view. Certain things that are obvious (and second-nature) to us, may not even be thinkable to someone else!
a good example is that the entire Thripitaka was never documented until "recently". Those venerable Arahats never had the need to write things down! But that does not mean that Thripitaka never existed.
Another thing (on a more funnier note): just imagine thousand years from now, archaeologists would dig and they wont find any trace of wires/cables. Now, would it be fair to theorize that no means of communication existed thousand years before!? (ok, i was joking herer

but thats something to think about)
