Dear Friends! FOLLOW UP this thread! Mark it as a favorite to find. I will update after hand and more and more information will be updated. The Brihat Katha states that "As for flying machines, the Yavana
[Greeks] know them"
The ancient Vimanas appeared to favor
Alexander the Great of Greek
antiquity. In 332 BC when Alexander was besieging Tyre in Phoenicia
..."One day there appeared over the Macedonian camp these
"flying shields", as they had been called, which flew in a
triangular formation led by an exceedingly large one, the
others were smaller by almost a half. The unknown chronicler
narrates that they circled slowly over Tyre while thousands
of warriors on both sides stood and watched them in
astonishment. Suddenly from the largest "shield" came a
lightening flash that struck the walls, these crumbled,
other flashes followed and walls and towers dissolved, as if
they had been built of mud, leaving the way open for the
besiegers who poured like an avalanche through the breeches.
The "flying shields" hovered over the city until it was
completely stormed then they very swiftly disappeared aloft,
soon melting into the blue sky".
Gods and Spacemen in Greece and Rome
Several years later, In 329 BC when crossing a
river to attack India the Vimanas turned against Alexander ,his army was
harassed by ". strange craft that dived repeatedly at his
(Alexander's) army until the war elephants, the men and the horses all
panicked and refused to cross the river where the incident occurred."
Alexander's historian describes these
strange craft as "great shining silvery shields, spitting fire
around the rims. things that came from the skies and returned to the
skies" Assuming they were the same Vimana that had aided him
in 329 BC against the Phoenicians they apparently had a change of heart
when he approached their homeland. Georgios |
