(ORDO NEWS) — Plunging into the past, one comes to the inevitable conclusion that ancient people possessed incredible knowledge.
The areas in which there was such surprisingly high knowledge are innumerable. Let’s focus on one – aviation.
Yes, the ancients undoubtedly had not only theoretical, but also practical knowledge of aviation. And there is a lot of evidence for that.
So, in Egypt, a wooden model of a flying bird, made 25 centuries ago, was discovered. When a large copy of it was made, it turned out that the “bird of the pharaohs” has all the properties of a modern glider.
Thanks to its carefully crafted aerodynamic profile, it floats and glides freely in the air. “The Egyptians never made models without having the original,” one of the experts in ancient Egyptian art commented on this fact.
Therefore, we have to admit the idea that in ancient Egypt something resembling a modern glider could be known.
Various peoples have legends about gods and heroes who lived in remote times and who knew how to move through the air on winged chariots.
In the literature of the Vedas there was even a term for aircraft: “vimana” and “agnihotra”. “Agnihotra” is a ship that rises into the sky.
But what is important: some of the texts that have come down to us give a fairly detailed and realistic description of not only the appearance, but also the design of aircraft.
Many sources mention that the flight was accompanied by a loud sound. “When morning came,” we read in the ancient Indian epic Ramayana, “Rama sat in the heavenly chariot that Pushpaka sent him with Vivpishanda, and prepared for flight.
This chariot moved by itself. It was large and beautifully painted. It had two floors with many rooms and windows… When the chariot made its way in the air, it made a monotonous sound.
At the moment of departure, however, the sound was different: “At the command of Rama, this beautiful chariot rose into the air with a loud noise.” Elsewhere we read that when the flying chariot was raised, ”
In one of the ancient Sanskrit books it is said that at the moment of departure the chariot “roars like a lion”.
Was it not a similar device that was mentioned by a Chinese source, who reported that in the sixth year of the reign of the Tian Sheng era, “in the summer, in the fourth moon, a star the size of a measure of 1 dou rolled down with a sound like thunder from north to southwest, illuminating all under heaven.”
In other cases, on the contrary, the soundlessness of the flight is emphasized. Perhaps we are talking about different flight modes or different types of these devices.
During the flight, fire was visible. The epics of Ancient India say that the celestial chariot shone “like a fire on a summer night”, was “like a comet in the sky”, “blazed like a red fire” (“Ramayana”), “was like a guiding light moving in space“; she was “set in motion by a winged lightning”, “the whole sky was lit up when she flew over it” (“Mahabharata”), two streams of flame emanated from her.
The memory of some kind of “fiery ships” – “waffles”, which left behind a “vortex of rushing sparks”, was also preserved by the legends of the Vikings.
But even more surprising are the descriptions of the internal structure of aircraft. The Sanskrit poetic source “Samarangana Sutradhara” devotes as many as 230 stanzas to describing the structure of aircraft and their use: “Strong and durable should be his body, made of light material, like a large flying bird.
Devices with mercury should be placed inside and a heating device under it. By means of the power that is latent in mercury and which sets in motion the carrying vortex, a person inside this chariot can fly long distances through the sky in the most amazing way.
Entering it, a person can, like a two-winged bird, rise into the blue of the sky. There are, says the source, vimanas, huge, “like a temple.” On the four sides, according to the established rules (law, instructions) place large tanks filled with mercury.
True, the translation of the Sanskrit word as “mercury” is very approximate. This word has many other meanings: quintessence, substance, elixir. Moreover, it is an alchemical term, i.e. rather, a symbol followed by a meaning, revealed only to those who know the key to it.
Having risen, the vimana immediately turned into a “pearl in the sky.” Tibetan sacred texts, mentioning aircraft, also compare them to “pearls in the sky”.
And here is how another Sanskrit source, Ghatotrachabadma, describes the aircraft: “It was a huge and terrible air chariot made of black iron … It was equipped with devices located in the proper places. Neither horses nor elephants carried it. It was driven by devices that were the size of elephants.”
Another source says that for the construction of such an apparatus, copper, iron, and lead are used. Some sources mention black vimanas, others note that they had a metal surface: a celestial chariot, “shining like gold” (“Ramayana”).
Obviously, if there are any real memories behind these messages, there were several types of such devices. And sources confirm this.
Judging by some descriptions, this device was of a rounded shape: the airship Mahapadma (“Big Lotus”), mentioned by Somadevabhatta (XI century), the “shining ship” of Polynesian myths, on which the god Kanemilohai moved, was shaped like a shell.
These devices had numerous rooms, windows, and places to sit. These devices could float, hovering in the air, and move over vast distances “in the blink of an eye,” “at the speed of thought.” The last comparison belongs to Homer, who mentioned the people who lived in the North and traveled on these amazing ships. (Walfen, fiery ships from the Viking legends that they met in the northern latitudes, come to mind.)
Other Greek authors also wrote about the people who allegedly knew the secret of flying in the air. This people, the Hyperboreans, lived in the North, and the sun rose over them only once a year.
The memory of the sun, which rose once a year, was also brought by the Aryans, who came to India 4,000 years ago from their unknown ancestral home. They also brought with them information about aircraft, which we find in Sanskrit sources.
Several images have survived and come down to us, which can be interpreted as a memory of such devices. They convey, of course, not their appearance, but the very idea of traveling in the air, outside the Earth, among the stars.
In the tomb of Montemkhet, 7th c. BC, depicts a heavenly ship (boat) flying above the stars and among the stars. The person depicted in it holds a symbol of life in one hand, and death in the other.
The Sumerians depict a man in the same heavenly boat between a star and the Sun. On the territory of Peru in pre-Columbian America, an image of a stylized bipedal creature was found, decorated with signs of a “stepped throne”, a common attribute of the Egyptian goddess Isis.
A Chinese drawing of an air chariot depicts it flying above the clouds. One detail stops the attention: the circle in front and behind the chariot. What is this? If the wheels, then they would have to be on the sides.
The Chinese alchemist and adept in the arcane sciences, Koh Hunt, wrote in 320 CE that “some made chariots of the air.” At the same time, he mentioned the rotating blades (blades) that “set this device in motion.” Perhaps these words are related to the stylized circle that is visible in the figure.
Quite often, the ancients tried to hide certain knowledge, to protect it from the uninitiated. It would be strange if this were not done in relation to the air chariots and their device. During the time of Emperor Cheng-Tang (XVIII century BC), a certain of his subjects made a flying chariot and, testing it, rose into the air.
A fair wind carried him to a neighboring province. What does the emperor do – gladly accept the discovery made? Not at all. According to the Chinese chronicle, Cheng-Tang “ordered the destruction of the chariot so that [its secret] would not become known to the people.”
The Sanskrit source argues for such foresight as follows: “The construction of these devices should be kept secret so that [this knowledge] does not fall into the hands of the ignorant. For this reason, knowledge that bears such fruits should not be made public, they should not be spread about.”
Perhaps these fears were not built in a vacuum. Some ancient texts mention the use of aircraft for military purposes. The descriptions of the battle scenes that they give are made as if “from nature”, as an eyewitness could do: “We noticed something in the sky that looked like a flaming cloud, like tongues of fire.
A huge black vimana emerged from it, which brought down down many sparkling (luminous) projectiles. The roar they issued was like thunder from thousands of drums. Vimana approached the earth with unthinkable speed and fired many projectiles sparkling like gold, thousands of lightning.
This was followed by violent explosions and hundreds of fiery whirlwinds. Panic seized the army, horses, war elephants and many soldiers killed by explosions fell to the ground.The army took flight, and a terrible vimana pursued him,
Fears that aircraft could be used for evil are also found in later texts. A European author wrote in 1670: “The Lord will never suffer such a device to be made; to avert the many consequences which may destroy the civil and political government among the people.”
Then he listed the actions of the airship – it can drop bombs, bring down “artificial fire” from above, even, in today’s language, “landing troops.”
The above-mentioned ancient Egyptian “glider model” as a kind of material, objective principle, fits into such messages. Another piece of indirect evidence, possibly of the same kind, is the so-called “Inca roads” discovered some time ago in the Andes.
Aerial photography showed that it was not so much a road as a system of huge, correctly formed geometric and other figures, visible only from a certain height. The sides of the triangles, parallel to the lines of impeccable accuracy, stretch for 10-15 kilometers!
Some figures are repeated in a clear sequence. A number of scientists believe that the world‘s greatest astronomical calendar is located in the Andes, where the lines express various astronomical patterns and the paths of the movement of stars.
Recently, similar huge figures, visible only from the air, were found in the Peruvian deserts of De Maya and De Sihua. Scientists attribute them to the pre-Inca period. Are we right to assume that these gigantic images, visible only from a height, could have something to do with aircraft?
It turns out that in America we can also find messages that make you think. The sacred book of the Quiche Indians “Popol-Vuh” tells about the four forefathers of this people, who, having seen something in the sky, began to hurriedly say goodbye to their relatives and wives and climbed to the top of the mountain.
“We are going back to our people,” they said. “We have completed our task, our days are coming to an end.” These people, the text says, “immediately disappeared there on the top of Mount Hakavits. They were not buried by their wives or their children, because it was not visible when they disappeared.”
In Central America, a legend has been preserved about a certain mighty mistress, nicknamed the “Flying Tigress”, who brought knowledge to people. And after some time she ordered to carry herself to the top of the mountain, where she “disappeared among thunder and lightning.”
These legends are surprisingly reminiscent of others that arose in an area very remote from these places – in Southeast Asia. Both here and there we are talking about some kind of enlighteners who traveled on aircraft and at the end of their “mission” retired on these aircraft.
Candidate of Historical Sciences I. Lisevich, in particular, tells about such reports from ancient Chinese sources in his publication. In the ancient dictionary “Guandi”, he reports, four types of aircraft are described.
One of them, in which the educator-alien of ancient Chinese legends Huangdi moved, cast metal and had wings. Before the flight, he “gained water.” It is known about another apparatus that, when it was abandoned, its “head”, which continued to radiate heat, was buried in the ground with great precautions.
A cloud of steam escaped from the burial place, which the locals worshiped for many years. When the time came, Huangdi, like other enlighteners, left the place where he arrived. “… from above,” the ancient text says, “a dragon descended behind Huangdi with a mustache hanging down.
Huangdi mounted the dragon, all his assistants and families followed him. (There were more than 70 people who climbed. grabbed the mustache. The mustache broke off and they fell [to the ground]” Before the flight, he “gained water.”

(There were more than 70 people who ascended. The rest of the subjects could not ascend and grabbed their mustaches in a crowd. The mustaches broke off and they fell [to the ground] ”
In a number of ancient Indian texts that mention aircraft, they also talk about the height of the flight. In order to show how high the hero rose in his air chariot, he is said to have flown “above the realm of the winds.”
Can we, modern people, admit the idea that representatives of some previous terrestrial civilization possessed the knowledge necessary to try to reach other planets? Of course, this is hard to believe.
Here is what, however, the sources say: “By means of these devices (devices, devices),” we read in the Sanskrit text, “the inhabitants of the Earth can rise into the air, and the heavenly inhabitants can descend to the Earth.”
On these devices it was possible to move within the “Suryamandala” – the solar region (Solar system?) and “Nakshatramandala” – the stellar region.
According to legend, the air chariots of the ancient Celts could also rise into the sky, where the amazing lands, the “palaces of the gods” are located. A number of reports have been preserved of visits by individuals to these “palaces of the gods” located outside the Earth.
Taoists mention a certain “perfect man” Chem Jan, who visited other planets and gained wisdom and knowledge there. Ancient texts state that Huangdi, mentioned earlier, withdrew with his companions to the star Regulus (the constellation of Leo).
There is another curious detail in these messages. One of those who flew there took something, after which he “temporarily died and was reborn after 200 years.”
According to some theorists, during long space flights, exceeding the duration of a human life, people will also plunge into a certain state of suspended animation, temporary death – biological time will, as it were, stop for them. The distance of Regulus from the solar system is 85 light years.
Among the early Christian apocryphal books is the notorious “Book of Enoch”, or “Book of the Secrets of Enoch”. It tells how Enoch was taken for a time to certain lands that lay in the sky.
There he was taught the basics of astronomical knowledge: the order of the movement of the Sun, the reasons for the shortening of the day and the lengthening of the night, the lunar calendar, the phases and movement of the Moon.
“And Vretil,” writes Enoch, “taught me for 30 days and 30 nights, and his mouth did not stop speaking. And I did not stop writing comments for 30 days and 30 nights.” This knowledge was taught to Enoch, so that when he returned, he would communicate it to people on Earth.
Again, an amazing detail. When Enoch returned, his children were older than he was. Today we know that this is possible if the space traveler moves at a speed close to the speed of light: for him, time flows many times slower than for those who remain on Earth.
But how could the ancients know about this? Are some of the other strange reports that have come down to us related to this?
One of the translations of the Egyptian manuscript, written in the 15th century BC and containing the official chronicle of the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III, says that to the horror of everyone “in the 22nd year, in the third month of winter, at six o’clock in the afternoon, a huge object of the correct form, which was slowly moving south.”
Approximately the same period dates from the ancient Persian message about a certain person who built a complex aircraft and moved through the air in it. Another message dates back to the 13th century, more precisely, to 1290.
The Latin manuscript of one of the English monasteries says that one day, over the heads of frightened monks who were driving the monastery flock along the road, “a huge, oval, silvery body, similar to a disk, appeared, which slowly flew over them, causing great horror.”
Did the scientist and philosopher Roger Bacon (1214-1294), who was imprisoned for adherence to “secret knowledge”, write about such devices? “Science makes it possible to create vehicles that can reach tremendous speeds, without masts and requiring no more than one person to control.”
Bacon emphasized that such devices move without the help of animals. “An apparatus can also be created,” he wrote, “capable of moving in the air, with a person inside it.” He also owns an important confession, which may be related to what our today’s story is about.
“The aircraft that the ancients had,” wrote Bacon, “are made in our time.” In this regard, we can cite the following episode, which tells the French chronicle de Gabalis Discourses (1670). enemy of Charlemagne in order to destroy the harvest in France.
In vain did the four innocents try to justify themselves, saying that they were local, that they were carried away shortly before this by amazing people who showed them unprecedented miracles and lowered them back so that they could tell about what they had seen. enemy of Charlemagne in order to destroy the harvest in France.
In vain did the four innocents try to justify themselves, saying that they were local, that they were carried away shortly before this by amazing people who showed them unprecedented miracles and lowered them back so that they could tell about what they had seen.
And here is a curious testimony of the famous Italian Renaissance sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, whom he mentions in his book.
One day while traveling, he and his companion “looked in the direction of Florence, and both of us uttered a great cry of amazement, saying: “O heavenly God, what is this great body so visible over Florence?” It was like a log of fire, which sparkled and gave off a great brilliance.”
We find a closer reference to such aircraft by the famous Russian artist Nicholas Roerich. In his book “The Heart of Asia”, dedicated to a journey to the foothills of the Himalayas, he wrote: “Sunny cloudless morning – a clear blue sky sparkles.
A huge dark kite is rapidly rushing through our camp. Our Mongols and we are watching him. But here is one of the Buryat lamas raises his hand to the blue sky: “What is it there? White balloon? Airplane?” And we notice: at a high altitude, something shiny is moving in a direction from north to south.
Three strong binoculars were brought from the tents. We observed a voluminous spheroidal body, sparkling in the sun, clearly visible in the blue sky.
It moves very quickly. Then we notice how it changes direction more to the southwest and disappears behind the Humboldt snow chain. The entire camp is watching the unusual phenomenon.”
Is it possible to think that these are the surviving traces of a once existing civilization, the same “aircraft that the ancients had,” as Roger Bacon wrote about? Perhaps, in this connection, some reports that have recently appeared in the press could also be mentioned.
But here’s what is important: today we can talk not only about the words of witnesses, not only about the impression of eyewitnesses. There are “material traces”. In 1976, on the banks of the Vaksha River, Komi ASSR, local residents found an incomprehensible fragment, the size of a fist, cast in white.
It was worth scratching or hitting him, as sparks poured from the place of impact. The strange object, fortunately, fell into the hands of scientists. They were engaged in the All-Union Research Institute of Nuclear Geophysics and Geochemistry, Institute of Physical Problems. S.I. Vavilov, Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry.
IN AND. Vernadsky Academy of Sciences of the USSR, the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys and some other scientific departments. The fragment turned out to be a fragment of a ring, cylinder or sphere with a diameter of 1.2 m, of unknown origin and incomprehensible purpose.
This item was made no more than 100 thousand years ago (the uranium presented in it does not have decay products). The decay products of thorium indicate a closer date. However, the main mystery lies elsewhere: in the composition of the fragment.
In its study, precision gamma spectrometric methods of analysis were used, including neutron activation, neutron radiative, and X-ray radiometric methods. The item turned out to be composed of an alloy of rare earth elements: cerium – 67.2%, lanthanum – 10.9%, neodymium – 8.78% and some iron and magnesium.
Among the impurities were found uranium and molybdenum. Scientists’ conclusion: artificial alloy. On Earth, natural materials with a similar composition and characteristics do not exist.
Moreover, under terrestrial conditions, atmospheric oxygen usually reacts with iron and oxidizes it; therefore, as a rule, its oxide forms are found in alloys.
Iron is present in the fragment, but there are not the slightest traces of its oxide forms. Does this mean that the alloy was made outside the Earth? On the other hand, the analysis of the isotopic composition corresponds to the terrestrial ratios with an accuracy of hundredths of a percent.
Scientists’ conclusion: with a high degree of probability, we can assume that the alloy was made on our planet (or within the solar system). But on Earth today does not exist, it turns out, the technology needed for this.
The alloy was made from powder, the smallest particles of which consisted of only a few hundred atoms. It was made by cold pressing at a pressure of hundreds of thousands of atmospheres.
Equipment that could press parts at such a pressure and of such a size, our civilization has not yet created and has not come close to it.
The message about this discovery, made, as already mentioned, in 1976, was published in the newspaper “Socialist industry” at the beginning of 1985.
Secretary of the Department of Physical Chemistry and Technology of Inorganic Materials of the USSR Academy of Sciences Academician N.M. Zhavoronkov commented on this message as follows: “A sample with the obtained composition could well have been obtained under terrestrial conditions. Based on the available materials, it can be said that the found sample is not a natural mineral, but an alloy of artificial origin.
The question is under what conditions and for what purposes it was received and what construction it is part of, is subject to objective study. As you can see, orthodox scientists again turn a blind eye to the obvious.
From all of the above, one conclusion can be drawn: on our planet there was once a powerful civilization (or even civilizations) that had in its arsenal aircraft heavier than air. But what does all this have to do with us? Maybe you should think about why this civilization disappeared?
Perhaps because of some fatal mistakes in its development? Then we need to study these mistakes and not repeat them. So that later our descendants would not look at our planes and marvel at them: here, they say, what powerful people were…
