Almost all Hindus and Buddha people have heard of this ancient flying machine Vimana that is mentioned in Ramayana and other old texts.
Vimanas are still mentioned in standard Indian literature and media reports. An article titled "Flight Path" written by Indian journalist Mukul Sharma appeared in the major newspaper The Times of India on April 8, 1999, which talks about vimanas and ancient wars. According to some interpretations of extant texts, India's future technology seems to have occurred far in the past. Take the case of the Sarbanva Yantra, which is said to have been written by a sage, Maharshi Bhardwaj.
The text consists of 40 sections, one of which, Vaimanika Prakarana which deals with aeronautics, has 8 chapters, a hundred topics, and 500 sutras.
Bhardwaj describes vimana, or airplanes, as being categorized into three classes:
- People who travel from one place to another
- People who travel from one country to another
- People who travel between planets
Of particular interest among them were military aircraft whose functions were described in great detail and read to this day like something not from science fiction.
Among these were military aircraft with functions described in great detail and to this day seem like something out of science fiction.
Aircraft Characteristic
For instance, the aircraft must be unshakable, unbreakable, non-flammable, and indestructible so that it can stop in the blink of an eye, invisible to the enemy, able to listen to conversations and voices within the enemy aircraft, technically adept at seeing and recording things such as people, events and situations happening within the end of every direct aircraft, aware on of movement of other aircraft in the vicinity, capable of making the crew in the enemy aircraft stiff, idiot or lose consciousness completely, capable of destruction, manned by pilots and co-travelers who can adapt according to the climate in which they move, the temperature can be adjusted inside, made of very light and heat absorbent metal, equipped with mechanisms that can enlarge or reduce images and increase or reduce sound.
Apart from the fact that such a device would resemble a cross between an American Stealth fighter and a flying saucer, does it mean that air and space travel was well known to ancient Indians and airplanes evolved in India when the rest of the World was just learning the basics of agriculture?
Aerial battles and chases are common in ancient Hindu literature. What did these flying ships look like? The ancient Mahabharata speaks of a vimana as "an aerial chariot with iron sides and clothed with wings."
The Ramayana describes a vimana as a double-deck, circular (cylindrical) airplane with rows of windows and domes. This airplane has the "speed of the wind", and can provide a "melodious sound". The ancient Indians themselves wrote entire instruction manuals on the flight, maintenance, and control of various types of vimana.
Samara Sutradhara is a scientific treatise that discusses every possible aspect of air travel in a vimana. There are 230 stanzas describing construction, take-off, sailing for thousands of miles, normal and forced landings, and even possible collisions with birds!
Would these texts be real or just nonsense?
Historians and archaeologists ignore such writings and dismiss them as the imaginative explanations of a group of ancient writers who were stoned.
Says Andrew Tomas, "The Samara Sutradhara, which is kind of a factual account of air travel from all angles. If this is science fiction of antiquity, then it's the best ever written."
In 1875, the Vymaanika-Shaastra, a fourth-century BC text written by Maharshi Bhardwaj, was discovered in a temple in India. The book discusses the operation of ancient vimanas and includes information on steering, precautions for long flights, protection of aircraft from storms and lightning, and how to divert thrust to solar energy, or other sources of "free energy", perhaps some sort of "gravitational thrust".
Vimanas are said to take off vertically. Bharadwaj the Wise refers to no less than 70 authorities and 10 experts on air travel in ancient times.
These sources are now lost. Vimanas are said to be stored in the Vimana Griha, or in the Vimana fencing, moved by a yellowish-white liquid, and used for various purposes. Flying boats appeared all over the world. The Nazca Plain in Peru is particularly notable because the images are only visible from a height, being a rather complex and confusing airfield. Some researchers have theorized that this was some sort of outpost of Atlantis.
Not commensurate with the outpost that Rama's Kingdom had. Easter Island, on the opposite side of the world to Mohenjo-Daro, which amazingly developed its own written language, the mysterious script was lost to the present inhabitants but was found on tablets and other carvings. This strange script is only found in one other place in the world, Mohenjo-Daro, and Harappa.
Discovery
A 5000-year-old vimana was discovered in a cave in Afghanistan, leading to the disappearance of at least 8 American soldiers, who were allegedly trapped in another dimension while attempting to retrieve it from the cave. This discovery led to a flurry of high-level visits to the area by some of the powerful leaders of the western world. Barack Obama, David Cameron, and Nicholas Sarkozy (then President of France).
Many questions arose as to why all these people to Afghanistan. Leaked information coming from the US Air Force seems to have offered the answer: an ancient glyph about 5000 years old called Vimana in Hindu writings, was found in one of the caves of the intricate mountain chain of Afghanistan. The Mahabharata writings of the Hindu tradition make many references to this flying machine. and Angela Merkel went there. Nicholas Sarkozy was already in India when he suddenly left the country and went to Afghanistan.
Vimana is an ancient airship as described in ancient Indian manuscripts. It is said to be protected by a strange energy barrier that can prevent forces from opening the Vimana. This barrier that encloses the Vimana, this appears to be a gravitational field of electromagnetic radiation first alluded to by Albert Einstein as the Unified Field Theory and long rumored to be behind the famous American World War II experiment in teleportation called the Philadelphia Experiment that In 1943, like the events that took place in Afghanistan, this phenomenon too, led to the disappearance of US soldiers.
