“They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens — the LORD and the weapons of his wrath — to destroy the whole country.” — Isaiah 13:5

Ancient Astronauts Theory – Chariots Of The Gods?
Among the most intriguing anomalies within ancient narratives are the accounts of celestial warfare involving what are commonly referred to as “flying chariots” of the gods.
Eric von Däniken was one of the first to write on the subject, as many will recall, with his bestselling book “Chariots of the Gods?” in 1968.
Von Däniken and numerous scholarly authors propose that ancient myths, once seen as mere folklore, may actually recount encounters with hyper technological extraterrestrial beings who visited Earth in antiquity. These myths, ranging from ancient Vedic religious codices to biblical narratives and Greek legends, hint at encounters with technological gods from distant stars, leaving behind a long series of question marks, among which perhaps the most important is: Have aliens been with us since the beginning?
Contrary to theological interpretations, the gods described in these myths would have been very real, purportedly arriving from distant stars and employing sophisticated aerial vehicles, the Chariots of the Gods.

Within the rich tapestry of ancient indian Vedic literature, numerous accounts detail the existence of aerial vehicles known as Vimana used by the ancient gods.
These accounts, particularly embedded within the intricate verses of the Rigveda, the Mahabharata, and many others, offer insights into the epochs when gods roamed the earth and detail the flying machines they operated with remarkable accuracy.
The Vedic literature extends up to their application in military conflicts, illustrating their prominence in ancient Indian lore to the extent that they were mentioned in the imperial decrees by Emperor Ashoka during his governance from 256–237 BCE.
Why would Emperor Ashoka have felt the need to enact regulations related to the use of vimanas if they were merely fantasy?
Enrico Baccarini, a renowned author, filmmaker, journalist, and expert on ancient Indian lore, dives deep into this subject in his popular books, “Ratha, the vimana of the Indian gods in the South of India” and “The Vimana and the Wars of the Gods.” In there, he delineates various classifications of these flying chariots, from those capable of traversing air and water to others designed for interstellar travel:
“The flying chariots of the gods are not identified as a generic means of transport through which one can move but are divided according to specific needs and categories, functions and purposes. In the RigVeda, in this regard, we can find references that are as unique as enlightening. The “Jalayan” is described as a vehicle designed to move both in air and in water. The “Kaara” is a vehicle designed to move both on land and in water.
The “Tritala” is a vehicle designed to move in the three elements (earth, air and water). The “Trichakra Ratha” is instead a three-motor vehicle designed to move only in the air while the “Vaayu Ratha” is a vehicle propelled by an air engine. Finally, the “Vidyut Ratha” is a vehicle described as being propelled by an extremely powerful engine…”
“..With “Ratha” reference is made to the ‘flying chariots’ (generally with no wings) used by the gods only, while the term “Vimana” refers almost always to wings-equipped aircraft used by both, divinities but above all by mortal beings…”
“… the RigVeda (1500 BCE) tells of an aircraft that belonged to the Maruts, a flying machine capable of shaking houses, uprooting small plants and causing a strong wind when passing by. There are numerous texts in which these flying machines are mentioned, and in all cases the reference is to aircraft capable of flying in the sky, carrying passengers, conducting battles and making long journeys…”

The existence of detailed descriptions of advanced flying machinery in texts that are officially dated to 1500 BCE (and arguably older) raises profound questions about our understanding of our ancient past.
Faced with such evidence, we are left with a stark choice: to disregard these accounts as mere fantasy, or to acknowledge them as a call to re-evaluate our historical records.
These descriptions challenge conventional historical timelines, prompting us to reassess our understanding of ancient civilizations, their relation with extraterrestrials and their technological achievements.

Ancient Astronauts Theory – Divine Gliders
Classical Greek literature offers a fascinating array of narratives that seem out of sync with their time, particularly regarding the ancient gods and their Flying Chariots.
Heliodorus of Emesa, a prominent Greek writer of the 4th century AD, celeber for his masterpiece: the Aethiopica. In there, he provides a fascinating account of divine way of moving. He describes how gods are distinguished by their unorthodox mode of movement, appearing to glide effortlessly through the air, defying conventional pedestrian motion.
In the Aethiopica, he shares insights into the unique movement of the “gods” and their identifiable features:
“They can be recognized by the eyes, which always have a fixed gaze and immobile eyelids, but above all by their gait; which does not consist like ours, in the alternate movement of the feet; they seem to glide and fly rapidly through the air, cutting it with an irresistible movement and impetus instead of walking. Precisely for this reason the Egyptians make the statues of the gods with their feet together and almost fused together”
What could be the meaning behind Heliodorus’ portrayal? How is it that these gods appeared to “glide and fly rapidly through the air, cutting it with an irresistible movement and impetus?” Is he describing an hoverboard?
The implications of these narratives compel us to reconsider our understanding of ancient civilizations and their interactions with otherworldly forces, inviting a reevaluation of history as we know it.
“…the deities are not celestial gods but mere mortals, both males and females. They are not imitated due to their wisdom or their virtues, but instead are full of perversions and wickedness.” — Eusebius of Caesarea, third century AD
