We have different images of flying machines all over the world, or models of modern aircraft. And we can even read in old epics and books about air travel ...
Already in the Ethiopian holy book Kebra Negest in chapters 30, 52, 58, 94 we find a beautiful example of traveling in the sky by heavenly car. King Solomon inherited this air vehicle from his ancestors and used it diligently. This book says that in one day they covered the route of a three-month march. At the same time, there is almost 4000 km of air distance between Jerusalem and Srinagal.
If we had Sanskrt, we would read in Jajurveda, Ramayana, Mahabhratah, or other classical Indian literature about a mechanical device called Jantr. At least 20 passages Rgved (1028 hymns on gods) refers to this airborne vehicle Ashvin (divine twins). This machine is three-storied, has a triangular ground plan and is shown on three wheels. The whole apparatus occupies three passengers and is made of gold, silver and iron. Having two wings is almost a matter of course.
In 1875, a collection of records of the wise Bharadjah was discovered under the name Vimanik Shastra. These texts deal with the size and the most important times of various aircraft machines. We learn how they managed to protect themselves from storms and lightning, how they landed in emergency, or how the drive is converted to solar energy to save fuel.
The descriptions of these machines are very accurate. The difficulty for us is that in these texts the authors or the author lists different metals or alloys that can not be translated. We do not know what our ancient ancestors understood under these names.
There are four main types of the Vimans - Rukma, Sundara, Tripura and Sakura. These four main types were then divided into 113 variants. In the Amaranganathurathar, even the question of lift, control, and propellant is mentioned. Unfortunately, we do not know what the term means rasa. It used mercury to drive.
In this paper we also learn about the location and way of operation of the collector on solar energy. Specifically, it meant that eight tubes had to be made from some kind of glass that absorbed the sun's rays.
So what do you think of it, dear readers. That it would be just a kind of old-fashioned science fiction experiment? Or does the wise Bhajavara describe us with boldness, for some unacceptable fact? And if we are inclined to the second, much more likely variant, the question arises as to how much evidence is needed for today's scientists to recognize that the mysteries of the inexplicable are hiding in time.
Let's look at the "golden aircraft" from Colombia. Rather than insects or amulets - as artefacts are described by archaeologists - they resemble shuttle models. These 2-3 cm large exhibits can be found not only in private collections, but also in the Bremen Overseas Museum, the Ethnology Museum in Berlin, and the Museu del Oro in Bogota. The age of these exhibits is estimated at 1500 years.
Why can not it be fly or insect? The insects have no supporting surfaces of delta-shaped shape. Their wings are set up from above and not from below. Insects and flies are also not equipped with vertical tail rods.
Team led by dr. Algund Eenboom and German Air Force Officer Peter Belting produced 16: 1. During the practical tests, they proved extremely good flight characteristics!
In the aerodynamic tunnel of the Air Force and Space Institute in New York, these gold models were also tested - and the conclusion? Parameters are comparable to modern aircraft ...
In the area of ​​today's Ecuador, archaeological excavations have been carried out in the Esmeraldas area. At the La Tolitha burial grounds, the researchers also found the subject, which is now listed in the catalog under the number 25 and supplemented by the name Figuera Anthropozoomorpha.
When we look closely at this tumultuous creation of an unknown culture, we see rather a technical product. Looks like a miniaturized model of a modern jet aircraft. A small stator is located on the lower part of the object, which allows hovering. The exhibit is, like the other finds from Esmelráldas, of burnt clay. It is about 8cm long. The aerodynamic lines of the hull and distinctive delta-shaped wings are striking. In the front third of the hull, we can recognize the stylized cabin. Rearward from the cockpit, the engine's suction throats are realistically formed.
A similar design has the modern fighters Saab Vikken from Sweden, or American Stealth bombers. The rear of the fuselage protrudes into the shape characteristic of double-jet engines. Almost the same aft we find on SU-27 Russian fighters. But this model from La Tolita is about 1200 years old!
Note that I am giving details and details. Why? In order to be able to verify that the author does not touch this information, facts, and evidence "from his finger". You can also find out when you go to these locations or fly that is a fact.
And to conclude a few words in the discussion - do not we see by chance only small fragments of the wonderful knowledge of an earlier civilization that in many respects exceeded our level ?!
