Today, among specialists in the study of ancient chronicles, one can hear more and more versions of the existence of a civilization many thousands of years ago, which possessed technologies much more advanced than modern ones. The most surprising is the description of an amazing flying machine - vimaana, which is repeatedly found in ancient Indian texts …
Divine chariot
Most of the texts describing the vimana claim that the gods entered into battle with each other on it. The ancient Indian epic "Ramayana" says: "… and the king (Rama) entered it and this beautiful ship under the command of Raghira rose to the upper atmosphere …". If we assume that the famous Rama really existed, then we can calculate the time when these amazing machines plowed the sky over India. According to experts, "Ramayana" was created in the fourth century BC, telling about the life of King Rama, who ruled from four to five thousand years ago.
If we summarize all the known information, it turns out that the vimana is most often a two-deck round aircraft with a dome. As for its technical characteristics, the ancient texts note that the vimaana moved faster than the wind, while making a pleasant sound. Some vimanas looked like saucers, resembling UFOs, others describe them as horizontally placed cylinders. One part of the Ramayana tells how the demon Ravana kidnapped Sita, the wife of Rama. He put her in a vimana and soared into the air. But Rama overtook the kidnapper in a more powerful "fiery" aircraft, knocked out Ravana's ship and returned Sita. At the same time, in another Vedic scripture, the Rig Veda, the god Indra moves in space with great speed in an airship, while striking evil demons with weapons placed on his flying ship …
Vimana - instructions for making
At the same time, it is surprising why these aircraft, the description of the manufacture of which can be easily found in ancient Indian texts, are still not mass-produced? Could it be that the numerous UFOs seen all over the Earth are secret developments created from the blueprints of the ancients? The treatise "Samarangane Sutradhara" on the architecture of the XI century states: "… The body of the vimaana 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 mercury, which sets the leading tornado in motion, the person sitting inside can travel long distances across the sky …"

It is amazing, but, judging by the legends, aeronautics was so developed in the ancient world that there was a whole "lineup" of vimanas. The Rukma Vimana and Sun-dara Vimana had the shape of a cone, a cockpit for the pilots and three tiers with engines inside the ships, while the Tripura Vimana was a larger vehicle with the function of moving not only through the air, but also under water.
Operating rules
Describing the appearance of the vimaana, the rules for its construction and use for military purposes, the ancient authors could not ignore the instructions for use. The Samarangana Sutradhara contains as many as two hundred and thirty chapters on the exploitation of the vimaana in various weather and geographic conditions. Nevertheless, the Vaimanika Shastra manuscript, dating from the fourth century BC, was found in an ancient temple in India in 1875. The unique text was not only full of detailed instructions on the creation and management of vimana, but also included a description of such concepts as anti-gravity, a source of free energy, or movement in space using solar energy. This text was first published in general press in 1979 by the International Academy of Sanskrit Studies.
Of particular interest is the description of the weapons of the vimans - according to ancient sources, they possessed weapons of such destructive power that the destruction of an entire city was an easy task for them. A number of researchers mention the city of Mohenjo-Daro in the Indus river basin, which was destroyed in ancient times with a weapon of gigantic destructive power. The Ramayana mentions the destruction of several cities in Pakistan. Moreover, during modern excavations, archaeologists really discovered these cities, destroyed by weapons, which not only caused a terrible shock wave, but also melted part of the buildings.
Pilot is a heroic profession
An extremely interesting list of thirty-two skills that a Vimaana pilot should have had: know the structure of an aircraft, be able to get off the ground, ascend into the sky and control it. It would seem that these are quite logical requirements, but their detail is amazing! The pilot of the vimaana was charged with the responsibility of changing its appearance if necessary: to glow in the dark or to become invisible.
The aeronaut had to be able to stun the enemy with a thunderous roar, jump in the air and write zigzags. As a disguise, the vimaana could capture the dark component of the sun's ray spectrum and use it as a shelter from the adversary's vimaana. With the help of a mirror mounted on the outside of the vimaana, the pilot could detect a collision in an atmosphere of electrical energy and wind energy, and then use this energy in a certain machine, also mounted on the vimaana, making the latter invisible to the enemy. To intimidate the local population, seven pipes were installed on the aircraft, with the help of which a thunderous rumble could be emitted, designed to deafen and frighten people who saw the vimaana from the ground. A certain force center was also used against the enemy, creating an atmospheric wave,causing the enemy ship to shake in the air.
Secrets of battle mirrors
The ancient author divided the special mirrors on the vimaana into seven types, among which one can distinguish: the mirror of "TV transmission"; energy capturing mirror; a mirror that changes appearance; and terrifying mirrors. With the help of mirrors, the vimana could take up to 27 frightening forms, designed to put the enemy to flight. Other mirrors could have made the enemy mindless. A special mirror had the ability to make any obstacle in the path of movement of the vimaana liquid. To move the vimaana used seven motors, each of which was powered by a special energy unknown to modern mankind.
It is hard to believe that such an amazing device was created thousands of years ago. At the same time, the reality of its existence is beyond doubt, which is confirmed by dozens of indirect facts and existing ancient drawings. Perhaps, if modern scholars treat the mythological texts of the past not as entertaining fiction, but as a guide to action, another scientific and technological revolution will take place in the world.
