Ancient aircraft. Vimanas - aircraft of the Gods

Vimanas - aircraft described in ancient Indian sources

In 1875, a treatise "Vimanika Shastra" written by Bharadvaji the Wise in the 4th century BC was discovered in one of the temples of India. e. based on even earlier texts. Before the eyes of the astonished scientists appeared detailed descriptions strange aircraft of antiquity, striking in the perfection of their specifications. The devices were called vimanas and possessed a number of amazing qualities, among which 32 main secrets are listed that make vimanas also a formidable weapon.

Also interesting is the fact that in the 30s the Germans tried to create a new type of aircraft based on the "knowledge of the ancients", there is information that this was done as part of the Vril project. German agents managed to find and send to Germany the manuscripts of "Vimanika Shastra" and "Samarangana Sutradharan". According to the British magazine Focus, one of the German expeditions to Tibet in the late 1930s was led by Ernst Schafer. All members of the expedition were SS men.

You start reading this document and do not believe that it is about technical devices capable of moving due to their own energy. Somehow you involuntarily look for the usual fairy tale analogies: flying carpets, fire-breathing dragons, divine chariots, etc., but there is nothing similar in the manuscript. As you delve deeper into the text, the confidence grows that the vimana is made by people and serves their purposes.

The first section (it is called "Pilot") - describes 32 "secrets" or ways, or methods that a pilot must thoroughly master before he sits down to operate a complex apparatus. He must know the structure of the vimana, be able to perform complex maneuvers in the air, conduct effective fighting without accidents and losses.

fiction. Separate sections describe in detail the parts of the vimana, different devices for orientation in space.

What are vimanas made of? Is it not from the skins of sacrificial animals and bird feathers? Not at all! These are aircraft made of metal. In addition, as Bharavaja notes, referring to other sources, special strong and light alloys are needed to make vimanas, capable of "resisting the destructive forces of the sky." "Vimanika Shastra" names three main metals - somaka, sundalika and murtvika. From their combinations, 16 different alloys are obtained for the construction of vimanas. All this is done not by gods, but by craftsmen. In a separate section - "Metals", melting furnaces and heat-resistant crucibles, alloy components are described. After comparing with other ancient Indian sources, you understand that we are talking about iron, lead, sodium, mercury, ammonia, saltpeter, mica, etc.

Vimana in flight does not move at all divine power. The device is refueled, it has its own power plant. Nothing is known about the recipe for the fuel, although mercury is occasionally mentioned. But the tanks for it are described in detail. Their capacity is 3-5 gallons, or about 20 liters. Three or four such tanks are placed in the vimana away from fire and heat.

The description of the auxiliary equipment and navigation devices of the ancient flying machine is very surprising. There is a "shaktyakarshana" mirror here for collecting and absorbing energy from the surrounding space with subsequent accumulation. "Pranakundala" - most important part vimana, but, unfortunately, its description is very vague and contains many terms of the occult sciences. "Puspina" and "pinjula" serve as a lightning rod. "Vishvakriyatradarpana" is a mirror of the external view, which makes it possible to follow from the vimana what is happening from the outside. There are devices for changing the size and shape of the vimana in flight, for obtaining artificial darkening, for detecting breakdowns and malfunctions.

The manuscript even describes the clothes and food of the pilots. For example, here are some interesting details: "... A family person can eat once or twice a day, ascetics - once a day. Others can eat four times a day. A pilot must eat five times a day." For pilots, a special fabric is prepared, from which, "in accordance with the type of clothing and according to the wishes of the crew," clothes are sewn, "which increases the vigor of the body, clarity of thought, increases strength, energy and well-being." Thus, the purpose of clothing is not ritual, but entirely functional, it is necessary for the effective work of the crew.

The internal description of the vimana: "In the middle of the ship there is a metal box, which is the source of" strength ". From this box" strength "goes into two large pipes arranged at the stern and on the bow of the ship. In addition," strength "rushes into eight pipes, looking down. At the beginning of the journey, the valves on them opened, and the upper valves remained closed. The "current" pulled out with force and hit the ground, lifting the ship up. When it flew high enough, the pipes looking down were covered halfway so that it could hang in the air, then most The "current" was directed into the stern pipe so that it would fly out, thereby pushing the ship forward.

Description of the general device of the aircraft: "Strong and durable should be its body, made of light material. Inside should be placed a device with mercury and iron heaters under it. Through the power that is hidden in mercury, a person in this chariot can fly long distances across the sky.When the mercury is heated by controlled fire from iron heaters, the chariot will begin to accelerate and immediately turns into a "pearl in the sky."

Below from the ancient Indian texts it can be seen that vimanas were a formidable weapon:

This is how the start of the white god-hero in a heavenly ship is described in the ancient Indian epic "Ramayana". "When morning came, Rama got into the heavenly chariot and prepared to fly. The chariot was large and beautifully painted, had two floors with many rooms and windows. When she made her flight in the air, she made a monotonous sound." In one of the ancient Sanskrit books it is said that at the moment of departure the chariot "roars like a lion".

It also describes how the evil demon Ravana (rabbi), who kidnapped Sita, the wife of Rama, put her in his ship and rushed home. However, he did not manage to go far: "Rama on his" fiery "ship caught up with the kidnapper, and, knocking out his ship, returned Sita ..."

There are especially many references to the terrible and destructive weapons applied using vimanas is found in the Mahabharata. And this is not surprising, because the volume of this epic is 18 books telling about the battle of two clans - the Pandavas and Kauravas - and their allies for world domination:

"Vimana approached the Earth with unthinkable speed and fired many arrows sparkling like gold, thousands of lightnings... The roar they emitted was like thunder from a thousand drums... This was followed by violent explosions and hundreds of fiery whirlwinds...";

"Burned by the heat of weapons, the world staggered as if in a fever. Elephants caught fire from the heat and ran wildly to and fro in search of protection from terrible power. The water became hot, animals died, the enemy was mowed down, and the fury of fire felled trees in rows. ... Thousands of chariots were destroyed, then a deep silence descended on the sea. The winds began to blow, and the Earth was illuminated. The corpses of the dead were mutilated by the terrible heat so that they no longer looked like people. "

The weapons described in the Mahabharata are surprisingly reminiscent of nuclear weapons. It is called the “head (stick) of Brahma” or “the flame of Indra”: “huge and spewing streams of flame”, “rushing at a frantic speed, shrouded in lightning”, “the explosion from it was bright, like 10 thousand suns at the zenith”, “flame , devoid of smoke, diverged in all directions.

"Intended to kill the whole people," it turned people into dust, while the survivors fell out of their nails and hair. Even the food went bad. This weapon struck entire countries and peoples for several generations:

"A lightning strike, like a giant messenger of death, burned people. Those who rushed into the river were able to survive, but lost their hair and nails ..."; "... for several years after that, the Sun, stars and sky are hidden by clouds and bad weather."

Flying machines, as if they existed in ancient times, are mentioned in the myths of many peoples. There are also many archaeological finds confirming this fact:

Video from the Internet:

The Idian ufologist Kanishk Nathan wrote that the Vaimanika Shastra is an ancient Sanskrit text that "describes a technology that is not only far beyond the science of the time, but beyond what the scientific imagination of the ancient Indians could have imagined, including such concepts as solar energy and photography. Indeed, this book contains many interesting ideas regarding aviation technology. But it is important to note that it was written in the early twentieth century by a parapsychological process similar to "channeling" or automatic writing.

The history of the creation of this work is briefly described in the preface to the translation of Vaimaniki Shastra by GR Joyser. He writes that before knowledge in India was transmitted orally, but as this tradition died out, records on palm leaves began to be used. Unfortunately, palm leaf manuscripts did not last long in the Indian climate, and huge volumes of old handwritten material have been lost because they were not regularly copied.

As Josyer says, the lost texts "remained immured in the celestial ether, to be subsequently discovered by a medium endowed with the gift of occult perception." In this case, the medium was Subbaraya Sastri, "a walking dictionary endowed with the gift of occult perception," who, on August 1, 1918, began dictating the Vaimaniku Shastra to a certain Mr. Venkatachala Sarma. The work continued until August 23, 1923, and twenty-three books were the result. In the same year, on the instructions of Subbaraya Sastri, several drawings of vimanas were drawn.

According to Subbaraya Sastri, the Vaimanika Shastra is one section of the vast treatise Yantra Sarvasva, or Encyclopedia of Machines, allegedly authored by the sage Maharishi Bharadvajya, an ancient rishi mentioned in the Mahabharata and other Vedic literature. essays. However, I am not aware of any mention that this sage had anything to do with machines and mechanisms. "Yantra-sarvasva" did not reach us in physical form, but, according to Subbaraya Sastri, it exists imprinted in the akasha, where he read it, and then quoted ... As far as I know, there is no mention of this work in the existing literature. All this is discussed in Kanjilal's book on vimanas.

Additional information about Subbaraya Sastri was provided by K. S. R. Prabhu, Technical Director and Program Coordinator of the National Information Center in Hyderabad, India. He traced the biography of Subbaraya Sastri to 1875, when he lived at the age of twenty in a village located near the city of Bangalore in southern India. A severe smallpox epidemic broke out, and Sastri, who contracted it, was to die. He went into the forest and decided to commit suicide by drowning himself in a lake, but he was saved by a Himalayan yogi named Bhaskarananda. Yogi cured the young man of smallpox and kept him in a cave in the forest for a year.

According to the stories, the yogi asked Sastri: "What do you want most in life?" Subbaraya replied that he wanted to be an expert on shastras (Sanskrit texts), and emphasized that he was talking about physical shastras, since the standard religious texts are known to many. Yogi fulfilled his desire by giving Sastri the texts of twenty different shastras through an unknown means. According to Prabhu, Sastri, before he met Bhaskarananda, was quite an ordinary young man.

After returning from the cave, Sastri showed the ability to enter a trance state - for this he closed his eyes and performed several specific yogic mudras. In this state, he recited by heart the most complex Sanskrit texts about religion, science and politics, moreover, he read them without stopping, without pausing to think. One of these texts was the Vaimanika Shastra.

Although the Vaimanika Shastra is most likely a hoax, I have no reason to suspect that it was not dictated in the way that Josyer and K. S. R. Prabhu describe it. But is this work authentic? Even if it existed in the form of some vibrations in the ether, it could be distorted and changed in the process of physical transmission and dictation due to the fact that material from an unconscious medium was superimposed on it.

There are good reasons to believe that this is the case. There are also good reasons to believe that the text may contain authentic material. I will first cite the facts indicating that the text of the "Vaimanika Shastra" was falsified with the involvement of modern material.

The text is illustrated with several drawings made under Sastri's supervision. Among them are cross-sections of Rukma Vimana and Shakuna Vimana. They show crude resemblances to the post-World War I mechanical and electrical devices—large electromagnets, cranks, shafts, worm gears, pistons, helical radiators, and electric motors that turn propellers. The rukta-vimana was allegedly lifted into the air by means of "lifting fans" driven by electric motors, and very little corresponded to the size of the vimana as a whole. It is clear that such a device is not able to fly.

These mechanical devices are certainly inspired by the technology of the early twentieth century. However, K. S. R. Prabhu reports on research showing that the text of the Vaimanika Shastra contains technological information that Subbaraya Sastri could hardly have obtained through the usual means of communication - from books or conversations. These are the formulas of several metal alloys, ceramic materials and glass that were used in the construction of the vimanas.

The formulas were expressed in obscure Sanskrit words, many of which could not be found in standard Sanskrit dictionaries. After extensive searching, Prabhu discovered that some of them were found in rare dictionaries of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine and chemistry. He consulted with Ayurvedic physicians and chemists for a long time before he was able to identify the substances that these words denoted. Then it was possible to synthesize in the laboratory some of the substances mentioned in the Vaimanika Shastra. The instructions given in the text for mixing, heating and cooling materials were used.

The result was wonderful. Several substances have been synthesized such as tamogarbha loha - lead alloy, arara tamra - copper alloy and ravi shakti apakarshana darpana - glass. These substances were found to have properties consistent with those described in the Vaimanika Shastra. For example, the text says that tamogarbha loha is a material that absorbs light, and laboratory tests have shown that the synthesized tamogarbha loha exhibits a high ability to absorb laser light. Synthesized substances showed completely new unique properties which turned out to be possible to patent.

Thus, the formulas in the "Vaimanika Shastra" are quite scientific data expressed in archaic language. Based on what we know about Subbaraya Sastri, it seems unlikely that he could have created them himself using modern information. Perhaps they really came from an ancient source.

Due to the abundance of untranslatable Sanskrit words in the text of Vaimanika Shastra, it is not so easy to understand this work. Nevertheless, it contains information about vimanas, which are very curious parallels to the descriptions of unidentified flying objects. As an illustration, I will give ten examples from the list of thirty-two secrets that the pilot of the vimana must know, as it is written about this in the Vaimanika Shastra.23 I will comment on excerpts from the text, drawing attention to common similarities with the UFO phenomenon.

1. Gudha: As explained in the Vayutatva Prakarana, by using the powers of Yas, Vyas, Prayas in the eighth atmospheric layer enveloping the earth, the dark contents of the sun's rays are attracted and used to hide the Vimana from the enemy.

2. Drishya: Through the collision of electrical force and wind force in the atmosphere, an effulgence is created, the reflections of which are captured by Vishva-Kriya or a mirror placed in front of Vimana, and by manipulating these reflections, Maya-Vimana or false, used to camouflage Vimana, is created.

3. Adrishya: According to the Shaktitantra, through the medium of Vainarathya Vikarana and other forces in the heart center of the solar mass, the force of the ethereal current in the sky is attracted and mixed with the balakha-vikarana shakti in earth's atmosphere thus producing a white veil that will make Vimana invisible.

So, three methods are described here that allow you to hide the vimana from the enemy. They sound funny, but it is interesting that the vimanas described in the Puranas and the Mahabharata have the ability to become invisible. This is also a hallmark of UFOs, but it was clearly not widely known in 1923.

An interesting idea is that the radiance is created by the collision of electrical forces and wind. It is well known that unidentified flying objects glow brightly in the dark, which may be caused by an electrical effect that ionizes the air around the UFO. The word shakti means power or energy.

4. Paroksha: According to Meghotpatthi Prakarana, or the science of the birth of clouds, a paralyzing force is created by entering the second summer cloud layer, where, with the help of the Shaktyakarshan darpana, or force-attracting mirror located on the Vimana, a force is attracted, which is applied to parivesha or halo around Vimana, whereby the opponent is paralyzed and incapacitated.

5. Aparoksha: According to the Shakti Tantra, objects in front of the Vimana are made visible by the projection of the light beam of Rohini.

Paralyzing rays are just as often mentioned in UFO reports as are beams of light. The mention of a halo around the vimana is also noteworthy, for it is often said that UFOs are surrounded by a kind of energy field.

6. Virupa Karena: As stated in the Dhuma Prakarana, if the thirty-second type of smoke is generated by a mechanism, charge this smoke with the light of heat waves in the sky and pass it through the padmaka chakra tube into the oiled bhairavi Vairupya-darpana on top of the Vimana and rotate with one hundred and thirty-second type of speed, then violent and frightening forms will erupt from Vimana, leading observers from the side into complete horror.

7. Rupantara: According to the Tailaprakarana, if you prepare the oils of grddharajihva, kumbhini and kakajangha and smear them on the distorting mirror on the Vimana, apply the nineteenth kind of smoke to it and charge the kuntini shakti, then forms will appear that look like a lion, a tiger, a rhinoceros, snakes, mountains, rivers, amazing observers and confusing them.

While these descriptions seem like the ultimate game, it is interesting to note that UFOs have been known to mysteriously change shape, and monstrous creatures emerge from landed ships to frighten people. Many of the secrets on this list have to do with creating illusions that intimidate the enemy - it seems that UFOs also create such illusions.

8. Sarpa-Gamana: By attracting the dandavaktra and the other seven forces of air, attaching to them the sun's rays, which are then passed through the zigzag center of Vimana, and turning on the switch, Vimana will make zigzag-orbaz movements like a snake.

The ability of UFOs to zigzag is well known today, but few knew about it in 1923.

9. Rupakarshana: With the help of a photographic yantra on the Vimana, a television view of everything that is in the enemy’s area is achieved.

10. Kriyagrahana: When the key is turned, a white cloth appears at the bottom of the Vimana. When the three acids are electrolyzed in the northeastern part of Vimana, which are then exposed to the seven varieties of solar rays, and the resulting force is passed through the tube of the Thrishirsha mirror ... everything that happens on the earth below will be projected onto the screen.

The word "television" in the ninth paragraph is introduced in English translation"Vaimanika Shastra", published in 1973. The original Sanskrit text was written in 1923, before the development of television.

Recall references to television-like screens inside UFOs. They have been featured in numerous UFO abduction stories in this book: the Buff Ledge, Vermont case, the Filiberto Cardenas case, the William Herrmann case, the Cimarron, New Mexico case. In particular, William Herrmann said that he was shown a screen on board a UFO that allowed a close-up view of objects far below on the ground. Herrmann even saw on it the astonished faces of people looking at the UFO.

Needless to say, these descriptions from the Vaimanika Shastra seem extraordinarily fantastic. However, there are many parallels between them and the equally odd-sounding details of UFO reports. I don't know how significant these parallels are. The curious thing here is that they appeared in a book written between 1918 and 1923, long before the UFO phenomenon became widely known.

It is quite clear that the illustrations in the Vaimanika Shastra are inspired by twentieth-century material contained in the medium's subconscious. At the same time, the passages which I have quoted mainly contain material not of our century and are expressed in Vedic terms. This may be largely the product of Subbaraya Sastri's imagination, drawn to his extensive Vedic knowledge, or it may be a reasonably faithful rendering of ancient Vedic texts preserved in an ethereal pattern.

The only way to find out which assumption is correct is to look for other obscure Sanskrit texts and see if they confirm the material contained in the Vaimanika Shastra. Repeated confirmation will show at the very least that Subbaraya Sastri is giving material from a genuine tradition, and then further research will be needed to find out whether this tradition is based on actual facts. The fact that authentic metallurgical formulas have been found in the Vaimanika Shastra is undoubtedly the first step in this direction.

It must be admitted that many researchers of the UFO mystery ignore one very important fact. While most flying saucers are believed to have their origin in extraterrestrial civilizations and government military programs, another possible source could be ancient india and Atlantis. What we know about the flying objects of ancient India, we learned from the recorded ancient Indian sources that have come down to us through the centuries. There is no doubt that most of these sources are authentic. Among them - good known to the world The epic of India, consisting of hundreds of epics, most of which are still not even translated from Sanskrit into English language.

The Indian Emperor Ashoka (273 BC-232 BC) founded the "Secret Society of Nine Unknown People", which consisted of the great scientists of India, who were to catalog and describe the basic sciences. Ashoka kept their work secret because he feared that the achievements of science, described by these people on the basis of ancient Indian sources, would be used for destructive purposes of war. Ashoka became an ardent opponent of wars and converted to Buddhism after he defeated an enemy army in a bloody battle.

The members of the Nine Unknown People Society have written a total of nine books. One of them was the book "Secrets of Gravity", it is known to historians, although none of them have ever seen it, and this book mainly talked about "gravity control". Perhaps this book is still kept somewhere in the secret library of India, Tibet, or somewhere else, maybe even in North America. Believing in the possibility of the existence of this book, of course, one can understand the reason why Ashoka wanted to keep such knowledge a secret. Imagine what could have happened if the Nazis had had this knowledge during World War II. Ashoka was aware of the devastating effect of such high-tech aircraft and other "futuristic weapons" being used in the wars that destroyed the ancient Indian "Rama Empire" millennia ago.

Just a few years ago, the Chinese discovered documents written in Sanskrit in Lhasa (Tibet) and sent them to the University of Chandigarh (India) for translation. The doctor of this University, Ruth Reina, recently stated that these documents contain instructions for building interstellar spaceships.

She said that their movement in space was based on the principle of "anti-gravity" using a system similar to the "lagima" system, unknown inner strength, existing in the physiological structure of man, a kind of "centrifuge force powerful enough to neutralize the gravitational attraction." According to Indian yogis, it is “lagima” that gives a person the possibility of levitation.

Dr. Reina said that according to the documents found, aboard such machines, called "Astras" in the text, the ancient Indians were able to send a detachment of people to any planet. It was reported that the secret of the “antima” or “cap of invisibility” was also revealed in the manuscripts, the “garima” was described, i.e. then, "how to become heavy, like a mountain of lead."

Naturally, modern scholars did not take these texts seriously, but still reacted more positively to their value when the Chinese announced that they included the study of a certain part of these ancient manuscripts in their space program! This was one of the first examples of government recognition of the need to study anti-gravity.

The manuscripts do not clearly state that interplanetary flights were ever made, but they mention, among other things, a planned flight to the moon, although it is not clear from the text whether that flight was made or not. However, in the great Indian Epic, the Ramayana, there is a detailed description of the flight to the moon at the Vimana, or "Astra", as well as the battle on the moon with the "Asvin", the airship of Atlantis.

I gave only small confirmations that appeared in recent times, about the use of anti-gravity and aerospace technology, used in ancient India. In order to fully understand this technology, we need to turn to the times most distant from us.

The so-called "Rama Empire" of North India and Pakistan developed at least fifteen thousand years ago in the Indian sub-continent. It was a nation consisting of inhabitants of numerous big cities, many of which are still found in the deserts of Pakistan and northern and western India. The civilization of Rama actually existed, obviously, it was located at the time of the civilization of the Atlanteans somewhere in the middle of the ocean, known to us as the Atlantic. It was ruled by "enlightened Priest-Kings". The seven greatest chief cities of Rama were known in the classical texts of the Hindus as the "Seven Cities of the Rishis".

According to ancient Indian texts, people had flying machines called "Vimanas". The Indian epic says that they were round aircraft, they had two decks and a tower with loopholes, overall picture looks like a flying saucer. They flew at the speed of the wind, while a "melodious sound" was heard. The epic describes at least four different types of Vimans: some were saucer-shaped, others were long cylinders (cigar-shaped flying machines). The ancient Indian texts on Vimanas are numerous, they can only be described in a multitude of ways. huge volumes. The ancient Indians who make these airships, themselves wrote manuals on the management of machines of various types, and many such manuals have survived to this day, some of them have even been translated into English.

The so-called Samara Sutradhara is nothing more than a scientific treatise that examines the journey in Vimana in various aspects. The 230 sutras describe the construction of an aircraft, takeoff, flying a thousand miles, normal and forced landings, even possible bird strikes. In 1875, the Vaimanika Shastra, a 4th century BC text written by Bharadvajay the Wise, was rediscovered in a temple in India. In it, using even more ancient texts, a description of Wiman's sortie was given. The text included information on how to operate the ship, precautions for long-range flights, protection from storms and lightning, and how to switch the ship to " solar energy", using a source of free energy, the name of which is similar in sound to "anti-gravity".

The Vaimanika Shastra (or Vimaanika Shaastra) has eight chapters with diagrams describing three types of air machines, including those that do not burn in fire or break. The text also mentions 31 necessary parts of these apparatuses and 16 types of materials used in their construction. These materials absorb light and heat, for this reason they were considered suitable for the construction of Wymans. The document has been translated into English and can be ordered through VYMAANIDASHAASTRA AERONAUTICS by Maharishi Bharadwaaja. English translation, edition and printing by Josyer, Mysore, India in 1979 (unfortunately no complete address). Mr. Josier is the Director of the International Academy for Sanskrit Studies, which is located in the state of Mysore (India).

It seems that there can be no doubt that driving force Vimanov had a certain force close to "anti-gravity". Vimanas took off vertically and were capable of hovering in the sky like modern helicopters or airships. Bharavajay the Wise mentions seventy authoritative names and ten experts in the field of air travel. But these sources are lost.

Vimanas were kept in hangar-like rooms, they were called Vimana Griha. It is known that Vimanas worked on some kind of yellowish-white liquid, and sometimes a mixture was used, which included mercury, which is very confusing for those who write on this topic in our time. It seems that the writers of the later period, describing the Vimanas, took materials from the texts written earlier, and therefore it is understandable that they were confused by the principle of the movement of the Vimanas. As for the “yellowish-white liquid”, it is described very similar to gasoline. It is possible that Wimans flew using various means, including internal combustion engines and even "pulse jet" engines.

It is interesting to note that the Nazis were the first to build pulse jet engines for V-8 rockets, known as "buzz bombs." Hitler and his associates showed an increased interest in ancient India and Tibet, where they sent their expeditions back in the early 30s in order to collect esoteric evidence about ancient flying machines. Perhaps during those expeditions, the Nazis collected some scientific information.

According to the description given in Dronaparva (part of the Mahabharata) and in the Ramayana, Vimana was shaped like a sphere and could fly at great speed using a strong vortex formed by the interaction of mercury. He moved like a UFO - up and down, then back and forth, depending on the desire of the pilot. Another Indian source, Samar, says that the Vimanas were “iron machines with a smooth surface; they were charged with a mercury mixture, which, during takeoff, shot out of the tail of the apparatus in the form of a roaring flame. Another work called Samarangana Sutradhara describes the process of building such flying machines. It is quite possible that mercury was somehow connected with the process of movement of the apparatus, most likely with the control system. It is curious that Soviet scientists discovered in the caves of Turkestan and in the Gobi Desert apparatuses, which they called "ancient instruments used in the navigation of spacecraft." They are technical devices made of glass or porcelain and having a hemispherical shape ending in a cone, and inside this device a drop of mercury is visible.

Obviously, the ancient Indians flew these devices over all of Asia, reaching Atlantis. It is possible that they flew as far as South America. The scrolls found at Mohenjo-daro in Pakistan have not yet been deciphered. This city may have been one of the "seven cities of the Rishis belonging to the Empire of Rama". Similar scrolls were found elsewhere - on Easter Island! They are called the Rongo-Rongo scriptures and look very similar to the Mohenjo-daro scriptures, they also have not yet been deciphered.

Was Easter Island an airbase en route for the Rama Empire's Wimans?? (Imagine that passengers are passing through the field of Mohenjodaro Vimanadrome, they hear a soft voice from the speaker: "Rama Airlines Flight 7, bound for Bali, Easter Island, Nazca and Atlantis, is ready to fly. Passengers please go to gate N ... ”) Announcing a flight over a great distance to Tibet, a “chariot of fire” is reported. Such a flight was described as follows: “Bhima flew, sparkling in the sun, with a roar, like thunder. The flying chariot shone like a flame in the summer night sky... it sped away like a comet. It seemed that two suns shone in the sky, and then the chariot rose higher, illuminating the heavens.

In the eighth century Jain text Mahavira Bhavabhuti, borrowed from later texts and traditions, we read: "Pushkara's flying chariot, transports many people to the capital city of Ayodhya. The sky is crowded with huge flying machines, black in the night sky, but illuminated by lights, they take on a yellowish glow.

The Vedas, the ancient Hindu poetic works, were considered the oldest Indian texts describing the Vimanas. various forms and sizes: "ahnihotra-vimana" with two motors, "elephant-vimana", which had even more motors. Other types of Vimanas were known, named after birds: kingfisher, ibis and some animals.

Unfortunately, Vimanas, like most scientific achievements, were used mainly for warfare. The Atlanteans used the Vailhi flying machines, similar in design to the Wymans, in order to conquer and subjugate the world. I think one can trust the Indian texts. The Atlanteans, known as "Asvins" in the Indian texts, were obviously even more technologically advanced than the ancient Indians, moreover, they had a warlike temperament. Although the existence of texts about the Vailhi of the Atlanteans is not known for certain, some information about this came from esoteric, occult sources describing their flying machines. Just like the Vimanas of the Indians, the Vailikhs were cigar-shaped and could easily maneuver both in the sky, even in the above-ground space, and under water. Their other devices were saucer-shaped and could obviously be submerged in water.

According to Eklal Kieshan, the author of the article “The Last Edge”, which appeared in 1966, the Vaikhilis were built by the Atlanteans for the first time 20,000 years ago, and the most common were saucer-like devices, inside of which there were refectory-shaped intersections with three hemispherical compartments with motors in bottom of the device. They used a mechanical anti-gravity device powered by 80,000 Horse power.

Ramayana, Mahabharata and other texts tell about a terrible war between the Atlanteans and the civilization of Rama, which happened 10-12 thousand years ago. Such weapons were used in the war, which it will not be possible even to present to readers until the middle of this century.

The ancient Mahabharata, being one of the sources describing the Vimanas, continues the story of the terrible destruction that war brings: “the weapon looked like a rocket projectile charged with all the energy of the Universe. A dazzling column of smoke and flame, sparkling as if a thousand suns shone in all their splendor...

A bolt from the blue! The giant messenger of death, who turned the whole race of Vrishnis and Andhakas into ashes ... The bodies of people were burned beyond recognition. Hair and nails fell out, dishes broke without a hit, and the birds turned white ... After a few hours, all food became inedible. In an attempt to avoid the fire and to wash away the vapors of radiation, the soldiers threw themselves into the water ... ".

It may seem that the Mahabharata describes an atomic war! Similar scary descriptions found in other ancient Indian manuscripts. Also often found in them are descriptions of the use of a variety of fantastic weapons and flying machines. One of them describes a battle on the moon between two flying machines - Wiman and Vailix! The above passage very accurately describes what an atomic explosion might look like, as well as the destructive effect of radioactivity on all living things. Only a jump into the water brings temporary relief.

When in the last century archaeologists excavated the city of Rishi, Mohenjo-daro, they found the skeletons of people right on the streets, some of their hands clenched as if mortal danger hung over them. These skeletons are as radioactive as those found on the streets of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ancient cities with sintered brick and stone walls turned into glass can be found in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, Turkey and elsewhere. There is no logical explanation for such a transformation other than that it is the result of an atomic explosion.

With the cataclysms that have taken place, the sinking of Atlantis and the destruction of the kingdom of Rama atomic weapons The world has slipped into the Stone Age.

Sanskrit texts are full of references to how the gods fought in the sky using vimanas equipped with weapons as deadly as those used in our more enlightened times.

For example, here is a passage from the Ramayana, in which we read: “The Puspak car, which resembles the sun and belongs to my brother, was brought by the powerful Ravana; this beautiful air machine goes anywhere at will, ... this machine is like a bright cloud in the sky ... and the king [Rama] entered into it and this beautiful ship under the command of Raghira rose into the upper atmosphere.”

From the Mahabharata, an ancient Indian poem of unusual length, we learn that someone named Asura Maya possessed a vimana about 6 m in circumference, equipped with four strong wings. This poem is a treasure trove of information pertaining to conflicts between the gods, who resolved their differences using tools apparently as deadly as those we can use. In addition to "bright rockets", the poem describes the use of another deadly weapon. The “Dart of Indra” is operated with the help of a round “reflector”. When turned on, it releases a beam of light that, when focused on any target, immediately "devours it with its power". In one particular case, when the hero, Krishna, was chasing his enemy, Shalva, in the sky, Saubha made Shalva's vimana invisible. Undeterred, Krishna immediately uses a special weapon: "I quickly put in an arrow that killed by looking for a sound." And many other types terrible weapon are described quite authentically in the Mahabharata, but the most terrible of them was used against the Vrish. The narration says: “Gurkha, flying on his fast and powerful vimana, threw a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe on the three cities of Vrishis and Andhak. A red-hot column of smoke and fire, bright as 10,000 suns, rose in all its splendor. It was an unknown weapon, the Iron Thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death that reduced the entire race of Vrishis and Andhakas to ashes.”

It is important to note that records of this kind are not isolated. They correlate with similar information from other ancient civilizations. The aftermath of this iron lightning's effect contains an ominously recognizable ring. Apparently, those who were killed by her were burned so that their bodies were not recognizable. The survivors lasted a little longer and their hair and nails fell out.

Perhaps most impressively and provocatively, some of the ancient records of these supposedly mythical vimanas tell how to build them. The instructions, in their own way, are quite detailed. In the Sanskrit Samarangana Sutradhara it is written: “The body of the vimana should be made strong and durable, like a huge bird made of light material. Inside it is necessary to place a mercury engine with its iron heating apparatus under it. With the help of the power hidden in the mercury, which sets the leading tornado in motion, a person sitting inside can travel across the sky for long distances. The movements of the vimana are such that it can ascend vertically, descend vertically, and move obliquely forward and backward. With these machines human beings can rise into the air and celestial beings can descend to earth.”

Khaqafa (laws of the Babylonians) states quite unambiguously: “The privilege of flying a flying machine is great. The knowledge of flight is among the most ancient in our heritage. A gift from "those above". We received it from them as a means of saving many lives.”

Even more fantastic is the information given in the ancient Chaldean work, Siphral, ​​which contains over one hundred pages of technical details on the construction of a flying machine. It contains words that translate as graphite rod, copper coils, crystal indicator, vibrating spheres, stable angle designs. (D. Hatcher Childress. The Anti-Gravity Handbook.)

Many researchers of UFO mysteries may overlook a very important fact. Apart from the assumption that most of the flying saucers are of extraterrestrial origin or maybe government military projects, another possible source could be ancient India and Atlantis. What we know about ancient Indian aircraft comes from ancient Indian written sources that have come down to us through the centuries. There can be no doubt that most of these texts are authentic; there are literally hundreds of them, many of them well-known Indian epics, but most of them have not yet been translated into English from the ancient Sanskrit.

The Indian king Ashoka established the secret society nine unknown people ”- the great Indian scientists who were supposed to catalog many sciences. Ashoka kept their work secret because he feared that the advanced science collected by these men from ancient Indian sources might be used for the evil purposes of the war, which Ashoka was strongly opposed to, having been converted to Buddhism after defeating the enemy army in bloody battle. The Nine Unknowns wrote a total of nine books, presumably one each. One of the books was called "Secrets of Gravity". This book, known to historians but never seen by them, dealt mainly with the control of gravity. Presumably this book is still somewhere, in a secret library in India, Tibet or somewhere else (perhaps even in North America). Of course, assuming this knowledge exists, it's easy to see why Ashoka kept it a secret.

Ashoka was also aware of the devastating wars using these apparatuses and other "futuristic weapons" that destroyed the ancient Indian "Ram raj" (Rama's kingdom) several thousand years before him. Just a few years ago, the Chinese discovered some Sanskrit documents in Lhasa (Tibet) and sent them for translation to Chandrigarh University. Dr. Ruf Reyna from this university stated recently that these documents contain instructions for building interstellar spaceships! Their mode of locomotion, she said, was "anti-gravity" and based on a system similar to that used in "laghim," an unknown "I" force that exists in the human psyche, "a centrifugal force sufficient to overcome all gravitational pull." According to Indian yogis, this is the “laghima” that allows a person to levitate.

Dr. Reyna said that aboard these machines, called "astra" in the text, the ancient Indians could send a detachment of people to any planet. The manuscripts also speak of the discovery of the secret of the "antima" or cap of invisibility, and the "garima", which allows one to become heavy like a mountain or lead. Naturally, Indian scholars did not take the texts very seriously, but they became more positive about their value when the Chinese announced that they had used parts of them for study in the space program! This is one of the first examples of a government decision to allow antigravity research. (Chinese science differs from European science in this, for example, in Xinjiang province there is state institute involved in UFO research.)

The manuscripts do not clearly state whether interplanetary flight was ever attempted, but mentions, among other things, a planned flight to the Moon, although it is unclear whether this flight was actually carried out. Anyway, one of the great Indian epics, the Ramayana, contains a very detailed account of the journey to the Moon in a “vimana” (or “aster”), and describes in detail the battle on the Moon with an “ashvin” (or Atlantean) ship. This is just a small part of the evidence for Indian use of anti-gravity and aerospace technology.

To truly understand this technology, we must go back to more ancient times. The so-called kingdom of Rama in northern India and Pakistan was established at least 15,000 years ago and was a nation of large and sophisticated cities, many of which can still be found in the deserts of Pakistan and northern and western India. The kingdom of Rama existed, apparently, in parallel with the Atlantean civilization in the center Atlantic Ocean and was ruled by "enlightened priest-kings" who stood at the head of the cities.

The seven greatest capital cities of Rama are known in classical Indian texts as the "seven cities of the Rishis". According to ancient Indian texts, people had flying machines called "vimanas". The epic describes the vimana as a two-deck round aircraft with holes and a dome, which is very similar to how we imagine a flying saucer. It flew "at the speed of the wind" and made a "melodious sound". There were at least four different types of vimanas; some are like saucers, others are like long cylinders - cigar-shaped flying machines. The ancient Indian texts on vimanas are so numerous that their retelling would take up entire volumes. The ancient Indians who created these ships wrote entire flight manuals for managing various types vimanas, many of which still exist, and some of which have even been translated into English.

The Samara Sutradhara is a scholarly treatise dealing with vimana air travel from all possible angles. It contains 230 chapters covering their design, takeoff, flight thousands of miles, normal and emergency landings, and even possible bird strikes. In 1875, in one of the temples of India, the Vimanika shastra, a text of the 4th century BC, was discovered. BC, written by Bharadvaji the Wise, who used even more ancient texts as sources.

It talked about the operation of Wimans and included information on driving them, warnings about long flights, information on protecting aircraft from hurricanes and lightning, and a guide to switching the engine to "solar power" from a source of free energy, which was similarly called "anti-gravity". The Vimanika shastra contains eight chapters with diagrams and describes three types of aircraft, including those that could not catch fire or crash. She also mentions 31 main parts of these apparatuses and 16 materials used in their manufacture that absorb light and heat, for which reason they are considered suitable for the construction of vimanas.

This document was translated into English by J. R. Josayer and published in Mysore, India, in 1979. Mr. Josayer is the director of the International Academy of Sanskrit Studies based in Mysore. It appears that the vimanas were undoubtedly set in motion by some sort of anti-gravity. They took off vertically and could hover in the air like modern helicopters or airships. Bharadvaji refers to no less than 70 authorities and 10 experts in the field of aeronautics of antiquity.

These sources are now lost. The vimanas were kept in a 'vimana grha', a type of angara, and are sometimes said to have been set in motion by a yellowish white liquid and sometimes by some kind of mercurial mixture, although the authors seem unsure on this point. Most likely, later authors were only observers and used early texts, and it is understandable that they were confused about the principle of their movement. The "yellowish white liquid" looks suspiciously like gasoline, and the vimanas may have had various sources of propulsion, including internal combustion engines and even jet engines.

According to Dronaparva, part of the Mahabharata, as well as the Ramayana, one of the vimanas is described as having the appearance of a sphere and rushing from high speed powerful wind created by mercury. It moved like a UFO, rising, falling, moving back and forth as the pilot desired. In another Indian source, Samara, the vimanas are described as "iron machines, well assembled and smooth, with a charge of mercury that shot out from its back in the form of a roaring flame." Another work called Samarangana Sutradhara describes how the apparatuses were arranged. It is possible that the mercury had something to do with the movement, or, more likely, with the control system. Curiously, Soviet scientists discovered what they called “ancient instruments used in navigation spacecraft” in the caves of Turkestan and the Gobi desert. These "devices" are hemispherical objects made of glass or porcelain, ending in a cone with a drop of mercury inside.

It is obvious that the ancient Indians flew these craft all over Asia and probably to Atlantis; and even, apparently, South America. The letter, discovered in Mohenjo-daro in Pakistan (supposed to be one of the “seven cities of the rishis of Rama's empire”), and still undeciphered, has also been found elsewhere in the world - Easter Island! The writing of Easter Island, called the rongo-rongo script, is also undeciphered and very much resembles the script of Mohenjo-daro ...

In the Mahavira Bhavabhuti, a 8th-century Jain text compiled from older texts and traditions, we read: “Aerial chariot, Pushpaka, takes many people to the capital city of Ayodhya. The sky is full of huge flying machines, black as night, but dotted with yellowish lights. The Vedas, ancient Hindu poems, considered the oldest of all Indian texts, describe vimanas different kind and sizes: “agnihotravimana” with two engines, “viman-elephant” with even more engines, and others called “kingfisher”, “ibis” and by the name of other animals.

Unfortunately, vimanas, like most scientific discoveries, were ultimately used for military purposes. The Atlanteans used their flying machines, "wailixi", a similar type of craft, in an attempt to conquer the world, according to Indian texts. The Atlanteans, known as "Asvins" in Indian scriptures, appear to have been even more technologically advanced than the Indians, and certainly more of a warlike temperament. While no ancient texts on the Atlantean Wailixi are known to exist, some information comes from esoteric, occult sources describing their aircraft.

Similar to, but not identical to, vimanas, wailixi were typically cigar-shaped and were capable of maneuvering underwater as well as in the atmosphere and even in outer space. Other devices, like vimanas, were in the form of saucers and, apparently, could also dive. According to Eklal Kueshana, author of The Ultimate Frontier, the wailixi, he writes in a 1966 paper, were first developed in Atlantis 20,000 years ago, and the most common were "saucer-shaped and usually trapezoidal in section with three hemispherical engine housings underneath. They used a mechanical anti-gravity rig driven by engines producing approximately 80,000 horsepower. “Ramayana, Mahabharata and other texts speak of a hideous war that took place about 10 or 12 thousand years ago between Atlantis and Rama and was fought with weapons of destruction that readers could not imagine until the second half of the 20th century.

The ancient Mahabharata, one of the sources of information about vimanas, goes on to describe the terrible destructiveness of this war: “… (the weapon was) the only projectile loaded with all the power of the universe. A red-hot column of smoke and flame, bright as a thousand suns, rose in all its splendor. … An iron lightning strike, a gigantic messenger of death that turned the whole race of Vrishnis and Andhakas into ashes… the bodies were so burned that they became unrecognizable. Hair and nails fell out; dishes were broken for no apparent reason and the birds turned white… after a few hours all the food was contaminated… to escape this fire, the soldiers rushed into the streams to wash themselves and their weapons…” It may seem that the Mahabharata describes nuclear war! Mentions like this are not isolated; battles using a fantastic array of weapons and aircraft are common in epic Indian books. One even describes a battle between vimanas and vailiks on the moon! And the passage quoted above describes very accurately what an atomic explosion looks like and what the effect of radioactivity on the population is. Jumping into the water provides the only respite.

When the city of Mohenjo-daro was excavated by archaeologists in the 19th century, they found skeletons just lying on the streets, some of them holding their hands as if some kind of trouble had taken them by surprise. These skeletons are the most radioactive ever found, on par with those found in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ancient cities, whose brick and stone walls literally glazed, fused together, can be found in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, Turkey and other places. There is no other logical explanation for the glazing of stone fortresses and cities, except for an atomic explosion.

Moreover, in Mohenjo-daro, a beautifully gridded city with running water superior to that used in Pakistan and India today, the streets were littered with "black pieces of glass." It turned out that these round pieces were earthenware pots that had melted from intense heat! With the cataclysmic sinking of Atlantis and the destruction of Rama's kingdom by atomic weapons, the world has slipped into the "Stone Age". …
