Way back in 497 the Romans had decided to ensure they stayed in good favour with (one of) their god, Saturn - so held a festival of Saturnalia.
Sounds like it was a heck of a party.
And a party was probably needed as 2 bike shop owners decided to build something that could fly, and in 1903 at Kittyhawk got their Wright Flyer to actually fly for a few moments for the first time.
Technology that changed the world, made us all a little closer.
