Vimanas – Flying Machines Soaring Through Ancient Sky Of India
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - By studying the ancient Sanskrit texts with great attention to detail, we can rediscover prehistoric aviation activities of the Indian gods.
India was the land of flying machines described in many ancient texts like Yajurveda, Mahabharata, Samarangana Sutradhara, Rigweda, Ramayana and even older ones.
Back in 1870, the Sanskrit College in Calcutta published a document, which contained references and descriptions of various ancient Indian spacecraft. Later in 1895 B.G, Talpul, a Hindu scientist attempted to construct a flying machine based on an ancient text’s instructions.
There are no physical remains of ancient Indian aircraft, but the Vedic literature delivers plenty of descriptions of flying machines called Vimanas.
In 1975, Swami Dayananda Saraswati concluded, after having studied the Rig-Veda that flying machines did exist in ancient India.
