Flying Vimanas
Date: Approximately 10,000BC - 8,000BC
Ancient Texts Describe Flying Vimanas And Details Of An Ancient Nuclear WarThe Hindu Vedas are packed with fantastic stories about the gods, their powers, and epic battles that supposedly took place long ago. They talk of noble Gods who fight off wicked forces, flying craft called Vimanas, and probably a nuclear war?
VimanasVimanas are mythological flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics and date back to approximately 1500BC. The Pushpaka Vimana of the king Ravana is the most quoted example of a Vimana. Vimanas are also mentioned in Jain texts.
The Pushpaka Vimana is described as a temple flying in the sky.
The most well-known documentation of the ancient Vimana flying machines comes from the Vaimānika Śāstra, an early 20th century translation of many accounts of Vimana technology found in ancient Vedic scriptures. It details drawings of a range of crafts, including the sources of fuel used to power them. The translations talk of certain elements and minerals we are familiar with, like mica, quicksilver and mercury, but also mentions strange liquids referred to as honey, which may have been an unknown substance with a similar viscosity or appearance to a bee’s nectar.
The Sanskrit word vi-māna literally means "measuring out, traversing" or "having been measured out". Monier-Williams defines Vimana as "a car or a chariot of the gods, any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high", and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana as an example. It may denote any car or vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories. In some Indian languages like Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Hindi, vimana means "aircraft". The Vimana of King Rama and his wife Sita The Indian book “Samarangana Soutradhara” contains an extraordinary paragraph: “on a distant time when men crisscrossed the air with aerial vessels, and celestial beings descended from the heavens”. In the Mahabharata we find the story of Salva's vimana which was a large military vehicle that could carry troops and weapons and which was obtained by Salva from a non-human technology expert named Maya Danava. The Purdnas and the Mahabharata also contain many accounts of smaller vimanas, including recreational devices apparently designed for a single passenger. They were generally used by Devas and Upadevas but not by humans. These odd vehicles seem to be mentioned so frequently in the purdnas and mahabharata that one might think that airplanes were quite common for people of the ancient Vedic culture. At its peak, the Rama Empire extended to northern India and Pakistan about 12,000 years ago. Nobles traveled from city to city by air. A text dated to the 8th century BC says that aerial carriages were used for normal transportation and were called Pushpaka. They could take a lot of people from one capital to another. The Rama Empire was threatened by an enemy using their own flying machines called Vailixi. These invaders had more advanced technology than the Ramas and were called Asvins. The Vailixi device was mostly cigar-shaped, rounder than a vimana, and could travel through water as well as air. Were Vimanas ALIEN Craft?: The Editors believe that the Answer is an resounding YES In the Ramayana, the Pushpaka ("flowery") Vimana of Ravana is described as follows:"The Pushpaka Vimana that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was brought by the powerful Ravana; that aerial and excellent Vimana going everywhere at will ... that chariot resembling a bright cloud in the sky ... and the King [Rama] got in, and the excellent chariot at the command of the Raghira, rose up into the higher atmosphere.'" It is the first flying vimana mentioned in existing Hindu texts (as distinct from the gods' flying horse-drawn chariots). Pushpaka was originally made by Vishwakarma for Brahma, the Hindu god of creation; later Brahma gave it to Kubera, the God of wealth; but it was later stolen, along with Lanka, by his half-brother, King Ravana. A similar reference is found in regards of Saint Tukaram, Maharashtra, India. Lord Vishnu was so impressed by the devotion and singing of Saint Tukaram that when his time came, a Pushpak Vimana (a heavenly aircraft shaped as an eagle) came to take him to heaven. On top of every Hindu temple or pyramid there is a Vimana, and often they are rounded, saucer-like objects, which many believe were the vehicles of extraterrestrials. When we look closer at these Vimanas, the descriptions of the sounds they made and the way they looked when they took off resemble jet propulsion more and more. One translation of a passage in the Vedic Mahabharata describes a Vimana.“The Vimana had all necessary equipment. It could not be conquered by the gods or demons. And it radiated light and reverberated with a deep rumbling sound. Its beauty captivated the minds of all who beheld it. Visvakarma, the lord of its design and construction, had created it by the power of his austerities, and its outline, like that of the sun, could not be easily delineated.”The passages speak of Krishna’s cohort and epic hero of the Baghavad Gita, Arjuna, describing a trip he took in a Vimana into the heavens, where he saw thousands of airborne chariots and another massive Vimana that was seven stories tall. Much like Enoch’s trip taken up in a wheeled chariot, Von Däniken says he believes that this could have been a primitive interpretation of a trip to the mothership, from which the many Vimanas seen on Earth could have originated. The Drona Parva’s Nuclear WarOne of the strangest stories of the ancient Hindu Vedas comes from a translation of the Drona Parva, the seventh book in the Mahabharata. The book describes Drona, a warrior appointed as leader of an army in the Kurukshetra War and his ensuing death in that battle. The story fits in with themes seen elsewhere in the Mahabharata, and other ancient texts that detail the difficulties of war, but this particular book provides some descriptions that sound eerily similar to the effects of a nuclear war. Explosions that level everything, animals screaming and engulfed in flames, pregnant women’s babies dying and metal armor melting onto the skins of warriors who wear them, all sound like the result of nuclear blast. It mentions birds falling from the sky, due to a single projectile charged with all the power of the universe, as bright as a thousand suns. “We beheld in the sky what appeared to us to be a mass of scarlet cloud resembling the fierce flames of a blazing fire. From that mass many blazing missiles flashed, and tremendous roars, like the noise of a thousand drums beaten at once. And from it fell many weapons winged with gold and thousands of thunderbolts, with loud explosions, and many hundreds of fiery wheels, The Unexplained Destruction of Mohenjo Daro and HarappaThe remnants of two ancient civilizations in the Indus Valley of modern day Pakistan and India have puzzled archeologists for decades. These cities were both deserted suddenly, coincidentally around the time of the construction of the great pyramids in Egypt, despite having been thriving centers of technology and culture for centuries. Mohenjo Daro, in particular, appears to have been flattened, or collapsed after 600 years of being inhabited. Could this have been the location of what may have been an ancient nuclear war?Mohenjo Daro and Harappa are anomalous not just because of their desertion by the people who lived there, but also because of their incredibly advanced technology and decentralized, secular society. Archeologists have determined that the layout of these two massive cities shows evidence of an egalitarian civilization with no distinct hierarchy or elite ruling class and was likely governed by elected officials. The ruins of Mohenjo Daro show careful urban planning, advanced irrigation and drainage systems, and a 900 sq. foot, watertight, communal bath that was filled by the Indus river. This civilization spanned over 500 acres and supported a population of somewhere between 20,000 – 40,000 citizens. Harappa, which came into ruin around the same time as Mohenjo Dara, was equally as advanced, with granaries, superstructures, and calculated trading practices. These civilizations had board games like chess, traded precious gems and jewelry, and valued cleanliness and hygiene. Both were civilizations with thriving cultures that disappeared suddenly and without explanation. Excavations at Mohenjo Dara unearthed the skeletons of a family holding hands, appearing to have been flattened with rubble and ash covering them as if they had died in an abrupt and unforeseen event. Some accounts say that a layer of radioactive ash was found in the soil before the site was dug up, adding to the theory of a nuclear event that could have been the cause of destruction of this ancient city. These claims however, are somewhat unsubstantiated with insufficient evidence to support the discovery of this radioactive material. It is strange though, that these two highly advanced civilizations experienced apocalyptic events at the same time, while being situated within the same region, but still being many miles apart. Whether these stories found in the ancient Vedic scriptures actually provide evidence of a nuclear war or not, they seem to at least describe some incredibly advanced, apocryphal technology. Could there really have been flying crafts and a nuclear event that wiped out these two ancient civilizations like the one described in the Mahabharata? If so, could these “gods,” who were behind this technology, actually have been an extraterrestrial species with advanced technology that is common to us today?
