Product Description
In this incredible volume on ancient India, authentic Indian texts such as the Ramayana and the Mahabhata are used to prove that ancient aircraft were in use more than 4000 years ago. Included is the entire 4th century BC manuscript Vimaanika Shastra plus chapters on Atlantean technology and the incredible Rama Empire of India and the devastating wars that destroyed it. Also an entire chapter on mercury vortex propulsion and mercury gyros, the power source described in the ancient Indian texts.

Material for both Musings and serious "What If's".,
By
This review is from: Vimana Aircraft of Ancient India and Atlantis (Paperback)
This volume contains less conjecture than other books that the author compiled. Probably because a good portion of the book is a republication of a translation of an ancient Indian book on Vinamas(aircraft)(though some were desinged for land and water travel). And that is why I bought it. Unfortunately, The old manuel references materials and methods that leave the reader still confused because many terms are undefined though they are translated. plus it almost seems some of the aircraft were too decoratively constructed to be be actually funtional. I can make a drawing of a giant dumbo elephant plane complete with instructions but that does not mean it will actually fly. It's also hard to determine if the original ancient authors may have only intended these manuals to be part of the legends and fantasy of the mahabah...however-you-spell-it battle. like a indian "lord of the rings" trilogy. But, you may ask, do we go through the trouble of publishing diagrams and manuals for euipment and ships that are just part of a fantasy? Yes we do. Go to a well stocked bookstore and look up the "star trek" technical manuals. However, many legends are based on seeds of fact. And it would be foolish to assume that ancient poeple were not capable of developing tech. advances-even to the point of flight. But, this book does not seperate the Fantasy & Fact. It seems to not allow for possibility of fantasy just fact.

Gives translation and comments on ancient aircraft in India.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vimana Aircraft of Ancient India and Atlantis (Paperback)
The author/editor provides us with a translation of ancient texts from India which purport to describe aircraft construction and operation. He then makes comments about the subject, including excerpts from related works.The point is that, according to Childress and others, the ancient civilization of India had made technological advances equaling and perhaps surpassing our own before it was mysteriously destroyed--perhaps in a nuclear war! I'm dubious, but his evidence is compelling nevertheless.
