Hey!

If anything, the ancient Hindus taught the Atlanteans. "That aerial navigation 
existed long before the making of the first modern airplane by the Wright 
brothers, the director of the International Academy of Sanskrit Investigation 
at Mysen, India, discovered an ancient treatise on aeronautics, which was 
written three thousand years ago. It was attributed to the Indu sage 
Bharadway, who wrote a manuscript called "Vymacrika Shastra," meaning "the 
Science of Aeronautics." It has eight chapters with diagrams, describing three 
types of aircraft, including apparatuses that could neither catch on fire nor 
break, and mentions thirty-one essential parts of these vehicles and sixteen 
materials from which they are constructed, which absorb light and heat, for 
which reason they were considered suitable for the construction of airplanes. 
It is interesting to note the similarity of the word "vymacrika" and 
"vimanas," indicating that the Hindus obtained their knowledge of aerial 
navigation from the subterranean Atlanteans who must have visited them in 
ancient times and taught them."

hi,
some 180 years ago famous reformer and sage "swami dayananda" wrote in his 
book "rigvedaadibhaasyabhoomikaa" about the seeds of aerial science and 
aeroplanes in rigveda, also a teached named "talmale" prepared an aeroplane 
model and flown it successfully at the chopathiog mumbai (india), this was 
before wright brothers invention, but since india was undergoing slavery of 
British and he was discouraged, thus his effort could not go ahead. the book 
vimanika shaastraa of sage "bharadwaaja" was of course seen by me, i also 
translated it and made a comparatative study of ancient terms with that of 
modern aeronautical eng glossry. the langauge of the book is very ancient and 
many technical terms are yet to be clarified, also the sage mentioned many 
heattreatment, and cold processes to harden the metals and non metals to be 
used on manufacture of aeroplane bodies. he used so many biochemical and 
animal fats, skins etc.., which is difficult yo get in modern age. But what i 
wish to say is, that we have yet to reach at that stage.
