Erich von Daniken: "Vimāna's" India's ancient gravity defying machines were Extraterrestrial

Ancient India is one of the most mystical places on Earth. Their ancient stories of contact with flying chariots and god like beings seem to be plentiful. 


The most significant and interesting of all ancient records are that of the Vimāna's, strange crafts that utilized propellers and rocket like engines that ran on mercury that were seemingly antigravity flying crafts. 

Important to note about “Vimāna” technology is that this mysterious aircraft is the long-known mythological flying machine described in the ancient Sanskrit epics that existed prior to the last overturning of our Earth and were purported to have weapons eerily similar to today’s atomic bombs.


References to these flying machines are commonplace in ancient Indian texts, even describing their use in warfare. As well as being able to fly within Earth's atmosphere, vimanas were also said to be able to travel into space and travel submerged underwater.
