REALISING AN ANCIENT SYMBOL OF FLIGHT: THE PARADOX OF "CHICKEN OR THE EGG"?

Imagine for a second we were able to explain gravity with the use of contemporary science, all the necessary equations linked, and developed technology that could harness gravity. Now imagine that the simple images and plans of that device of gravity propulsion, proof, look remarkably similar to ancient drawings in a number of cultures regarding winged flight. Would that be a problem for science, for, well, ok, for a lot of things?
The implication would of course be that we may have been seeded by an advanced human civilisation, like a previous stream of humanity, just as intelligent as we have become...a type of chicken and the egg scenario. The big faux-pas would be disputing the idea of God of course, yet the previous stream of humanity could have had that held appropriately for us to consider, as any stream always would, in the context of those ancient drawings. Any ideas?

What is physics without new ideas shed by the positive light of interest of others with new possible solutions to age old problems?

Shouldn't be surprising if ever a model/chart/diagram explaining Gravity was found resembling/similar to an ancient symbol/drawing.(considering the vagueness of symbols n the huge amounts/numbers atleast one would be a perfect match)
Maybe if Einstein would have coined the e=mc² in the age of Cartoon Network, conspiracy theorists might have considered advanced interstellar intelligent alien lifeforms to be descendants of cats & mice.
Science isn't a tool to prove or disprove God, to be honest Science doesn't care.(subjective)
If something/someone deliberately seeded US/humans I wouldn't call/refer them as an advanced civilization considering their seeds were crappy n ultimately the fruits have come out rotten.
P.S. - As far as the chicken & egg scenario is concerned, it was neither of them.

It depends on the specifics. How definitively can the two be linked? How much of it might be chalked up to coincidence, pareidolia or hind-sight bias? Is there any context for the symbols? Can we translate the writing associated with those drawings?
Of course, given that we don't even know what gravity-controlling technology would look like, this whole scenario would be purely hypothetical. So even if there were plans for some kind of gravitational propulsion in ancient relics, we wouldn't know it.
I'd also like to point out that no state of history would be a "problem" for science. Science is merely a methodology for gaining evidence and forming explanations based on that evidence.
