Is this an Ancient Helicopter?
Is this an Ancient Aircraft?
Another Ancient Aircraft?
A small model of what has been called a "glider" plane was found in a museum in Cairo. Its body was just over 6" long and its wingspan was a little over 7". Made of light sycamore wood, it would glide a short distance when thrown by hand. Other models of aircraft have been found in Egypt and South America. One of them bears a striking resemblance to a modern delta-winged jet!
Sanskrit texts are filled with references to gods who fought battles in the sky using Vimanas equipped with weapons as deadly as any we can deploy in these more enlightened times. For example, there is a passage in the Ramayana which reads:
"The Puspaka car that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was brought by the powerful Ravan; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at will .... that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky."
".. and the King [Rama] got in, and the excellent car at the command of the Raghira, rose up into the higher atmosphere."
In the Mahabharatra, an ancient Indian poem of enormous length, we learn that an individual named Asura Maya had a Vimana measuring twelve cubits in circumference, with four strong wheels. The poem is a veritable gold mine of information relating to conflicts between gods who settled their differences apparently using weapons as lethal as the ones we are capable of deploying. Apart from 'blazing missiles', the poem records the use of other deadly weapons. 'Indra's Dart' operated via a circular 'reflector'. When switched on, it produced a 'shaft of light' which, when focused on any target, immediately 'consumed it with its power'. In one particular exchange, the hero, Krishna, is pursuing his enemy, Salva, in the sky, when Salva's Vimana, the Saubha is made invisible in some way. Undeterred, Krishna immediately fires off a special weapon: 'I quickly laid on an arrow, which killed by seeking out sound'. Many other terrible weapons are described, quite matter of factly, in the Mahabharata, but the most fearsome of all is the one used against the Vrishis. The narrative records:
"Gurkha flying in his swift and powerful Vimana hurled against the three cities of the Vrishis and Andhakas a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as ten thousands suns, rose in all its splendour. It was the unknown weapon, the Iron Thunderbolt, a gigantic messaenger of death which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and Andhakas."
It is important to note, that these kinds of records are not isolated. They can be cross-correlated with similiar reports in other ancient civilizations. The after-affects of this Iron Thunderbolt have an ominously recognizable ring. Apparently, those killed by it were so burnt that their corpses were unidentifiable. The survivors fared little etter, as it caused their hair and nails to fall out.
Perhaps the most disturbing and challenging, information about these allegedly mythical Vimanas in the ancient records is that there are some matter-of-fact records, describing how to build one. In their way, the instructions are quite precise.
In the Sanskrit Samarangana Sutradhara, it is written:
"Strong and durable must the body of the Vimana be made, like a great flying bird of light material. Inside one must put the mercury engine with its iron heating apparatus underneath. By means of the power latent in the mecrcury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky. The movements of the Vimana are such that it can vertically ascend, vertically descend, move slanting forwards and backwards. With the help of the machines human beings can fly in the air and heavenly beings can come down to earth."
The Hakatha (Laws of the Babylonians) states quite unambiguously: "The privilege of operating a flying machine is great. The knowledge of flight is among the most ancient of our inheritances. A gift from 'those from upon high'. We received it from them as a means of saving many lives."
I generally listen for entertainment. Brinkley's okay. They had a guest on earlier this week or last, he called
himself the "Bad Astronomer". Guy seemed pretty good at using facts and physics to debunk a lot of stuff, like the "Planet-X" cottage industry that's cropped up.
Maybe if the Egyptians would dig where Edgar Cayce said, they'd find that lost vault or whatever he prophesized. And the relief could be deciphered.
Missed that one. Sounds like another NOI-Yakkub story.
Or is that the Mir fungus that caused some strange sea-growth in New Zealand?
How about the dentist that said he engraved "AB" in to all the crowns he installs?
Never heard that one. Probably because Jordan hasn't progressed much since those carvings were made, so
there's nothing to see there.
Back in 1947, everybody in the civilized world thought the inhabitants of the US were wacko, see flying discs.
It took a few years for the rest of world to jump on that bandwagon and join the fun and profit.
Sure there is -- what if the hieroglyhics are fakes? It wouldn't be the first time such occured.

Would you settle for one out of three?
I happen to be in the possession of a matter transporter. It was built about 24 years ago in Japan of all places, under the auspices of the Toyota Motor Company. The machine is marked "Celica", and I can vouch for its ability to move matter from one place to another at a very respectable clip.
So how much were you prepared to pay for a working matter transporter?

Pretty amazing stuff.
I'm not so sure. In knighthawk's post #11, I found: ... titulary of Seti I with ...
SETI? Coincidence? I don't think so. (Well maybe, if I can find my old copies of "The Journal of Irreproducible Results".)
More coincidences? Contact was on today, Lost in Space and Conspiracy Theory tonight, History Channel has a UFO marathon, Mystery Science Theatre this morning, Mel Gibson's Crop Circle movie coming out.
And, I'm out of foil.
