There is a theory according to which there was once a people on Earth with a high level of cultural development. The neighbors considered them "gods". The civilization of the "gods" perished, leaving behind only legends and cyclopean structures in various parts of the Earth. It is believed that the vajra is one of the few fragments of that civilization that has survived to this day.
In Indian mythology, the vajra was considered the most terrible weapon in the arsenal of the gods. With its help, the king of the gods Indra destroyed fortresses, grinded rocks into powder, turned rivers back, destroyed entire armies. Legends of this terrible weapon abound in Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Siam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Korea, China and Japan. As you can see, the "gods" used weapons quite often and over a vast territory. The impression from the use of the vajra was so strong that in the legends it was considered a symbol of strength and power.
But not only legends remained. There are numerous images of the vajra. Moreover, ancient masters, creating sculptural images of gods, often depicted them clutching this symbol of power. Created in different places and at different times, vajras practically do not differ from each other. From this we can conclude that the masters saw the device, and we have images of the vajra, made almost from nature.
Subsequently, the vajra became a cult object, a ritual accessory in Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. It began to be made as an amulet, production was put on stream, manufactured from miniature to almost gigantic. Of course, not a single vajra made by artisans had destructive power. Imitation is imitation. A revolver made of wood is not a formidable weapon, even if it is outwardly indistinguishable from the real one.
The "gods" used vajra not only in Southeast Asia. The ancient Assyrians, Greeks were also familiar with its terrible striking power and put the vajra in the hands of their gods, depicted on numerous coins. The Europeans also knew about the vajra. In the symbol of power - the royal crown, the familiar outline is easily guessed
An interesting question: among the huge number of vajras, is there even one that really belonged to the gods? It is very possible. According to legends, the vajra was among the gods almost a household item and was used very widely as a source of energy, as a building tool, as a means of communication and for other actions, the meaning of which is not clear to us. Could one of the "gods" forget, lose her, as we are losing our mobile phone today!

You just need to understand that the vajra is just a part of the technical system, without which it cannot function. Disconnect your mobile phone from the network and it becomes completely useless. So if the vajra becomes a dangerous weapon, it will not be very soon.
True, there are esoteric enthusiasts who claim to activate the vajra, possibly with the psychic energy of the operator. Only until now, not a single person has been able to release the destructive force lurking in the vajra with the power of his spirit. However, this is even for the best.
