00:00:09.390 advanced technology once fill 00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.110 disguise our ancestors left countless 00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:14.789 clues about these Marvels hiding them in 00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:17.510 plain sight the Skies of the past were 00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:20.990 alive with astonishing machines piloted 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.029 by beings that seem Beyond Comprehension 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:25.950 these accounts preserved through myth 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.790 and Legend existed and defied all logic 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.590 or did they what if the answer changes 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.350 everything we know 00:00:37.360 --> 00:01:09.149 [Music] 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.310 hey everyone welcome back to Divergent 00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:14.390 history today we're diving deep into the 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.109 topic that has fascinated historians 00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:19.990 archaeologists and conspiracy theorists 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.230 alike the ancient flying machines known 00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:24.149 as 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.990 viman some claim they're merely a myth 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.469 While others are convinced they 00:01:29.479 --> 00:01:31.630 represent one of Humanity's oldest and 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.149 most mysterious Secrets joining me today 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.190 as always is my skeptical but very 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.389 Charming sidekick wendo he's not that 00:01:41.399 --> 00:01:44.870 Charming Charming sure but convinced 00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:46.510 let's just say I'm here to keep things 00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:49.630 grounded I mean flying chariots machines 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.109 in the sky thousands of years ago just 00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:55.789 saying fair enough wend so let's start 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.990 by going back way back to ancient India 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.890 where the stories these van first 00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:07.749 [Music] 00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:10.949 begin the according to ancient Indian 00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:13.750 texts refers to Flying machines or 00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:16.670 Chariots of the Gods these weren't just 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.350 mythical wagons on clouds mind you 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.550 descriptions of aana are incredibly 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.589 detailed and far more advanced than the 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.229 usual mythological imagery in fact these 00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:29.949 texts don't only describe how the van 00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:32.949 looked they discuss proportion design 00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:36.070 and even Weaponry Weaponry oh this just 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.110 got interesting you're telling me 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.790 ancient people believed they had 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.630 military-grade flying 00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:45.390 machines exactly the vanman as depicted 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.110 in texts like the mahabarata ramayana 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.149 and vimanika sastra are often said to be 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.750 equipped with powerful weapons ones that 00:02:54.760 --> 00:02:57.470 could supposedly level entire cities 00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:00.190 sound familiar this is where things 00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:04.130 start to feel eerily like science 00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:09.110 [Music] 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.110 fiction so to understand V we need to 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.710 dive into the core of Hindu mythology in 00:03:15.720 --> 00:03:18.990 these texts theana were described as the 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.430 celestial Chariots of the Gods in the 00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:25.910 mahabat a great ancient Indian epic the 00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:28.070 sky was alive with battles fought 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.630 between gods in these Airborne chariots 00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:34.710 Indra the god of thunder and rain was 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:37.070 said to have used a vman to Traverse the 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.350 heavens wielding weapons that could 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.789 decimate mountains and rivers and it 00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:45.789 wasn't just Indra other deities like 00:03:45.799 --> 00:03:48.750 Vishnu and Shiva were described with 00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:51.470 similar flying machines each equipped 00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:53.990 with what sounds like destructive power 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.509 beyond any Earthly weapon of the time 00:03:56.519 --> 00:03:59.270 which begs the question were these viman 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.069 just a way of illustrating divine power 00:04:02.079 --> 00:04:04.390 or did the people of ancient India 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.750 actually believe that these machines 00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:10.390 existed I mean stories evolve over time 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.830 right well true but these aren't your 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.909 typical fables the detailed descriptions 00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:18.830 are where things start to blur the line 00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:27.430 between myth and maybe something 00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:29.950 else but the mystery doesn't stop in 00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:32.469 India let's take a moment to expand our 00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:35.749 view across cultures interestingly the 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.950 idea of flying chariots or Celestial 00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:40.189 machines appears in other ancient 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.710 cultures as well in Egyptian mythology 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.070 for instance the sun god raw is depicted 00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:49.469 as traversing the sky in a Celestial 00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:52.550 disc known as the flying sun disk while 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.950 some interpret this as a symbol others 00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:56.790 wonder if it represents a more advanced 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.710 form of Transport over in meso am 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.350 America cultures like the omx and Mayans 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.629 also depict beings who appear to be 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.830 flying or traveling between Earth and 00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:09.670 the Stars so are we saying all these 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.310 ancient civilizations just 00:05:11.320 --> 00:05:14.230 coincidentally imagined flying machines 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.550 it could be a coincidence wend or it 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.670 could suggest shared knowledge some 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.749 researchers believe these myths might 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.350 represent a lost Global civilization 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.430 with advanced technology that Spann the 00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:28.309 ancient world there are a few 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:29.870 explanations that could account for 00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:33.070 these ancient flying machines first some 00:05:33.080 --> 00:05:35.150 suggest that the vanana were simply 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.230 allegorical a poetic way of describing 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.350 divine power or the God's ability to 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.270 transcend Earthly 00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:45.469 boundaries others think these stories 00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:47.830 are ancient accounts of extraterrestrial 00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:50.350 visitors so could the vanman represent 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.189 Advanced alien technology witnessed by 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.230 ancient humans who then immortalize them 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:57.950 in stories and 00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:00.710 carvings or it could be our good old 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.390 imagination at work we tend to create 00:06:03.400 --> 00:06:04.510 what we can't 00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:10.710 [Music] 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.469 explain the vimanika sastra a Sanskrit 00:06:14.479 --> 00:06:17.029 text claimed to be written by the sage 00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:21.710 Maharishi Baja is a fascinating case 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.309 first published in the 20th century this 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.189 text supposedly contains ancient 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.350 knowledge of theana design and 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.150 Technology it includes incredibly 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.790 specific instructions on how to build 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.150 operate and repair these flying machines 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.430 hold up we're talking technical manuals 00:06:38.440 --> 00:06:40.550 for mythical flying machines this sounds 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.990 like someone's clever marketing trick 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:44.790 well the origins of the text are 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.790 disputed yes many scholars believe it 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.390 was a later creation possibly influenced 00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:53.550 by early 20th century fascination with 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.830 Aviation still it's strange how detailed 00:06:56.840 --> 00:07:00.189 it is the vionica sastra describes 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.550 everything from propulsion systems to 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.110 anti-gravity 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.629 principles some parts of it read like a 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.589 blueprint for spacecraft but here's the 00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:12.150 catch the descriptions in the vionica 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.270 sastra don't actually hold up to Modern 00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:16.990 engineering standards when scientists 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.830 engineers studied the text they found 00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:21.869 many of the designs were impractical or 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:23.990 even physically impossible with the 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.309 knowledge we have today ah so it's back 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.390 to being a myth right well not so fast 00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:32.749 despite its impractical designs the 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.350 question remains where did such detailed 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.350 ideas come from were the people of that 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.589 time simply imagining things far beyond 00:07:40.599 --> 00:07:43.510 their technological reach or could they 00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:46.050 have witnessed 00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:51.149 [Music] 00:07:51.159 --> 00:07:53.670 something we've touched on the vimanika 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.390 sastra but let's go even deeper into the 00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:59.950 Sanskrit texts that reference vivana 00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:01.990 some scholars believe that these texts 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.670 are encrypted with hidden meanings or 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.710 Advanced scientific principles that 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.950 could unlock the mysteries of theana the 00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:12.830 samarang Gana sudara a 10th Century text 00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:16.149 on architecture contains passages on 00:08:16.159 --> 00:08:19.230 machines that fly Scholars argue that 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.790 the text details on flying devices might 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.110 hint at advanced concepts such as 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.869 aerodynamics and propulsion systems that 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.670 we have yet to understand fully so this 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.909 isn't just about myths it's like they're 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.029 describing an ancient science 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.070 class exactly these texts go into detail 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.190 about materials energy sources and even 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.430 maintenance for these crafts some 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.030 researchers believe that we're 00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:48.509 overlooking key information that might 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.110 only make sense with further advances in 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.590 technology so this angle raises 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.509 interesting questions were these texts 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.829 simply poetic or symbolic or could they 00:08:58.839 --> 00:09:02.310 be scientific ific guides disguised as 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:08.630 [Music] 00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:11.310 mythology in addition to these texts 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:12.790 there's physical evidence scattered 00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:15.670 across India numerous temples have 00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:18.150 carvings and sculptures that depict what 00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:19.590 some believe to be 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.710 vanana structures like the aora caves 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.990 and the kyasa temple uh feature carvings 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.550 of what look like flying crafts often 00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:31.509 surrounded by gods in Warrior 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.670 poses and let's not forget the aanta 00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:37.350 caves where some carvings seem to show 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.710 humanoid figures aboard strange aerial 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.509 objects even the famous iron pillar of 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.030 belli has been suggested by some to be 00:09:46.040 --> 00:09:47.829 related to ancient technological 00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:50.470 knowledge possibly tied to the legends 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.590 of aanaa or they're just artistic 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.470 interpretations of the stories people 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.670 told back then well absolutely a 00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:00.190 possibility but then there are 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.350 inscriptions ancient inscriptions like 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.990 the ones found in samarang Gana sutara a 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.389 trees on architecture from the 11th 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.750 century provide fascinating hints the 00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:14.110 text describes machines that fly with 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.310 wings and fire some argue this could be 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.150 referencing early attempts or memories 00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:22.670 of advanced technology or just really 00:10:22.680 --> 00:10:24.720 great storytelling 00:10:24.730 --> 00:10:30.269 [Music] 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.870 well before we jump into controversies 00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:35.350 surrounding V Let's Take a closer look 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:36.990 at more ancient accounts of these 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.110 incredible machines many ancient Indian 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.509 texts not just the ramayana or Mahaba 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.629 make mention of vanana one text the 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.350 samarang Gana sudara written around the 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.030 11th century by King boja is a treasure 00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:55.590 Trove of information although primarily 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.509 in architectural tries it includes 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.829 passages on the Mana that are stunningly 00:11:01.839 --> 00:11:04.190 detailed the text discusses the 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:05.870 materials needed to build these flying 00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:08.750 machines how they're assembled and even 00:11:08.760 --> 00:11:11.069 claims they could travel long distances 00:11:11.079 --> 00:11:13.430 like a bird soaring through the sky it 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.670 reads less like a fairy tale and more 00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:18.230 like an instruction manual descriptions 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.790 mention Mercurial engines and glowing 00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:23.949 fire as sources of power the samarang 00:11:23.959 --> 00:11:26.910 Gana sutara goes further by outlining 00:11:26.920 --> 00:11:29.550 different types of vman with unique 00:11:29.560 --> 00:11:31.550 functions some were meant for 00:11:31.560 --> 00:11:33.790 reconnaissance others for transporting 00:11:33.800 --> 00:11:37.990 people and still others as battle ready 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.230 machines Mercurial engines you mean they 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.310 thought Mercury could power these things 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.629 yes yes and this is where things get 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.750 interesting mercury has unique 00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:51.069 properties especially in the context of 00:11:51.079 --> 00:11:52.990 ancient Alchemy and even modern 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.230 scientific research its conductivity 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.470 liquid metal State and behavior in 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.829 certain magnetic Fields make it well 00:12:01.839 --> 00:12:04.629 let's just say worth looking into but 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:07.190 let's not get ahead of ourselves for 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.150 centuries people in India have believed 00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:11.509 in these accounts of Viana even during 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.670 the height of British colonialism 00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:15.470 Scholars were fascinating by these 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.310 ancient texts and what they described 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.110 among the most intriguing documents 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.069 associated with vanana is the vimanika 00:12:23.079 --> 00:12:26.670 sastra attributed to the sage Maharishi 00:12:26.680 --> 00:12:29.790 baharaja not only does this text 00:12:29.800 --> 00:12:32.470 outlined how to build and operate vanana 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.110 but some researchers claim that it 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.189 contains hidden meanings almost as if 00:12:37.199 --> 00:12:39.069 it's encrypted with deeper forgotten 00:12:39.079 --> 00:12:41.910 knowledge some theorists believe that 00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:45.150 the diagrams in the vimin sastra are 00:12:45.160 --> 00:12:47.150 actually blueprints for constructing a 00:12:47.160 --> 00:12:50.389 flying machine perhaps the knowledge is 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.829 encrypted intended only for those with a 00:12:52.839 --> 00:12:54.189 deep understanding of ancient 00:12:54.199 --> 00:12:56.750 engineering and physics so like a da 00:12:56.760 --> 00:13:00.110 Vinci Code for flying chariots 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.990 exactly wend exactly so this raises the 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.310 tantalizing 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.269 question what if these texts aren't just 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.310 stories but remnants of a sophisticated 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.590 engineering knowledge passed down 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:19.710 through the 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:21.069 [Music] 00:13:21.079 --> 00:13:24.030 ages we touched on carvings in Indian 00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:26.629 temples earlier but let's explore this 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.230 topic a bit deeper temples like the Kisa 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.949 temple in allora and the sun temple in 00:13:32.959 --> 00:13:35.590 KARK have carvings and Architectural 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.990 features that some interpret as evidence 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.269 of advanced 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.350 technology at the at the Kisa Temple for 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.230 instance the Precision and 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.629 sophistication of the carving process 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.030 has baffled archaeologists for years 00:13:50.040 --> 00:13:52.110 this monolithic structure was carved 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.389 from a single Rock vertically from the 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.150 top down a feat that some claim would be 00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:01.150 difficult even with today's tools so are 00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:03.030 they saying aliens helped out with this 00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:04.069 one 00:14:04.079 --> 00:14:07.790 too not exactly but these carvings add 00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:09.910 fuel to the idea that ancient people had 00:14:09.920 --> 00:14:12.550 Knowledge and Skills we can't fully 00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:15.470 explain when it comes to Viana some 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.629 researchers interpret certain carvings 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.550 at the Kisa Temple as depicting flying 00:14:20.560 --> 00:14:24.269 machines or Celestial Chariots of course 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.110 Skeptics argue that these are simply 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:33.760 stylized depictions of traditional myths 00:14:33.770 --> 00:14:37.069 [Music] 00:14:37.079 --> 00:14:39.870 but what if imano were more than just 00:14:39.880 --> 00:14:42.310 machines many scholars and Mystics 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.150 believe these flying crafts had a 00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:47.110 spiritual purpose potentially used as 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.389 vessels to connect with Cosmic Realms or 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.069 access other 00:14:52.079 --> 00:14:54.790 dimensions in ancient Indian culture 00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:57.310 science and spirituality were often 00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:59.629 intertwined some texts suggests that 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.670 vman were not merely vehicles for travel 00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:04.829 but also tools for enlightenment or 00:15:04.839 --> 00:15:07.230 communication with higher planes of 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.990 existence they may have allowed sages or 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.389 rulers to reach Altered States Of 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.470 Consciousness or communicate with the 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:17.389 gods so they were flying around in 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.870 spiritual spaceships that's wild it 00:15:20.880 --> 00:15:23.790 really is wend the vanman could have 00:15:23.800 --> 00:15:26.150 represented more than Transportation 00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:27.829 they could have been seen as a way to 00:15:27.839 --> 00:15:29.629 transcend Earthly 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.110 limitations this spiritual angle brings 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:40.110 a whole new dimension to the van 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.910 story now let's get into the theory of 00:15:42.920 --> 00:15:45.710 suppressed knowledge some historians 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.990 believe that powerful Elites in ancient 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.509 times might have concealed advanced 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.230 technology perhaps to prevent societal 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:54.670 chaos or 00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:58.030 misuse think about it wend if you had 00:15:58.040 --> 00:16:00.189 technology that could be weaponized or 00:16:00.199 --> 00:16:02.670 destabilized Society you'd want to keep 00:16:02.680 --> 00:16:05.470 it in the right hands there's a theory 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.470 that an anciently guarded secrets of 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:09.829 imman technology and kept them within a 00:16:09.839 --> 00:16:12.590 select group ancient Gatekeepers eh 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.110 that's one way to keep things from 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.030 getting out of control maybe it's the 00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:18.710 same today oh I think wend it's very 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.030 much uh like the same today so this 00:16:22.040 --> 00:16:24.030 notion of restricted knowledge adds a 00:16:24.040 --> 00:16:26.389 layer of forbidden Mystique to vanol 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.110 lore suggesting that what was once once 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.670 known has been carefully hidden away 00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:34.350 over the centuries which brings us to 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.230 the topic of modern government 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:39.189 suppression this is a topic that 00:16:39.199 --> 00:16:41.870 conspiracy theorists love to discuss 00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:43.870 especially given the secrecy surrounding 00:16:43.880 --> 00:16:46.470 similar artifacts worldwide rumors have 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:49.189 circulated for years that governments 00:16:49.199 --> 00:16:51.189 may have recovered advanced technology 00:16:51.199 --> 00:16:53.910 from ancient sites some suggest that 00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:56.069 powerful countries might have attempted 00:16:56.079 --> 00:16:58.949 to reverse engineer ancient artifacts 00:16:58.959 --> 00:17:01.509 perhaps to create new forms of energy or 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.829 military Tech and what if these relics 00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:05.429 contain knowledge about things like 00:17:05.439 --> 00:17:06.949 Limitless energy or 00:17:06.959 --> 00:17:09.029 Transportation would they share that 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:11.909 with the public or keep it locked away 00:17:11.919 --> 00:17:13.829 well that's a great question if a 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:15.510 government did uncover a source of 00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:17.870 unlimited power or anti-gravity 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.750 technology it's possible probably likely 00:17:21.760 --> 00:17:23.510 that they would keep it secret fearing 00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:25.590 it could shift the balance of power 00:17:25.600 --> 00:17:32.630 globally or cause unrest 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.950 [Music] 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.789 so let's address the big question could 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.590 any of this be scientifically 00:17:40.600 --> 00:17:44.110 plausible interestingly scientists have 00:17:44.120 --> 00:17:45.909 studied the notion of proportion by 00:17:45.919 --> 00:17:48.310 liquid mercury theories have emerged 00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:50.029 that ancient texts might have been 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:52.230 describing primitive forms of ion 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.590 proportion magnetic levitation or other 00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:57.750 propulsion systems using Mercury's 00:17:57.760 --> 00:18:00.070 unique properties one theory is that 00:18:00.080 --> 00:18:02.830 Mercury's unique behavior in a rotating 00:18:02.840 --> 00:18:06.149 magnetic field could in theory produce a 00:18:06.159 --> 00:18:08.789 type of propotion while no one has 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.830 successfully built a vman using mercury 00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:13.789 experimental research has shown that 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.230 liquid metals like Mercury can be 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:19.190 manipulated with magnetic fields it's 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.510 possible that ancient people observed 00:18:21.520 --> 00:18:23.950 Mercury's unusual properties and 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.950 theorize about its use in these vanana 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.510 engines so they saw Mercury doing 00:18:29.520 --> 00:18:31.510 something cool and just ran with it I 00:18:31.520 --> 00:18:33.190 mean can you imagine the first time 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:35.510 someone heated Mercury I bet they 00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:38.470 thought it was magical exactly wendo and 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.149 the fascination with Mercury isn't 00:18:40.159 --> 00:18:43.470 unique to India Chinese Alchemists the 00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:46.430 Egyptians and even medieval European 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:49.870 scientists saw Mercury as a mysterious 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.510 almost magical substance while most 00:18:52.520 --> 00:18:54.310 scientists today agreed that mercury 00:18:54.320 --> 00:18:56.710 propulsion wouldn't be practical or 00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:58.990 powerful enough for flight some 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.750 alternative propulsion researchers 00:19:00.760 --> 00:19:03.390 suggest that vman could represent early 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:04.870 attempts at a type of ancient 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.630 engineering we don't fully 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:09.789 understand researchers today are 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:11.750 exploring Fringe theories on 00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:14.750 anti-gravity and propulsion systems that 00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:16.230 might help explain some of the 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.230 capabilities described in ancient texts 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:21.310 there's a concept known as Zero Point 00:19:21.320 --> 00:19:24.149 Energy which theorizes about harnessing 00:19:24.159 --> 00:19:28.190 the vacuum of space to create energy so 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.110 you're telling me scientists today are 00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:31.710 actually trying to make anti-gravity 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:34.830 Tech happen that's right Wendell though 00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:37.310 it's not mainstream yet ideas like 00:19:37.320 --> 00:19:39.470 gravitational manipulation are being 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:42.190 tested some researchers believe that if 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:43.909 we understood ancient propulsion 00:19:43.919 --> 00:19:46.590 theories better we might unlock secrets 00:19:46.600 --> 00:19:48.669 about gravitational waves or energy 00:19:48.679 --> 00:19:51.720 fields that could power 00:19:51.730 --> 00:19:55.750 [Music] 00:19:55.760 --> 00:19:58.230 flight now let's introduce a few of the 00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.510 famous theorists who have championed the 00:20:00.520 --> 00:20:03.750 idea of the Mana as real ancient flying 00:20:03.760 --> 00:20:06.909 machines Scholars like David Hatcher 00:20:06.919 --> 00:20:10.430 childis and Graham Hancock have spent 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.510 years investigating advanced technology 00:20:12.520 --> 00:20:13.710 in ancient 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.350 civilizations childrenis for instance 00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:19.110 has studied vman extensively theorizing 00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:20.750 that they could represent a lost or 00:20:20.760 --> 00:20:23.470 suppressed technology Graham Hancock's 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:25.430 research points toward Advanced 00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:27.950 civilizations predating known history 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.430 Hancock argues that our current 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:32.390 understanding of history may only 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:34.590 scratch the surface of what's truly out 00:20:34.600 --> 00:20:37.430 there and these guys believe Vimana were 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.990 real that's a bold stance they certainly 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.430 do wend they believe that we have 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.190 overlooked the technological 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.750 achievements of ancient cultures and for 00:20:47.760 --> 00:20:50.750 them Vimana represents a piece of this 00:20:50.760 --> 00:20:56.830 forgotten 00:20:56.840 --> 00:20:59.430 puzzle one of the most mind-bending 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.590 aspects of Vore is the nuclear likee 00:21:02.600 --> 00:21:05.830 weaponry described in ancient texts the 00:21:05.840 --> 00:21:08.710 mahab references a weapon called the 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.230 bramastra a Celestial weapon capable of 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.630 causing destruction on an unimaginable 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.190 scale this bramastra is set to have the 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.830 power to turn an entire city to ashes 00:21:22.840 --> 00:21:25.029 the descriptions are eerily similar to 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:28.029 the effects of a modern nuclear bomb 00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:32.070 intense heat blinding light and residual 00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:36.269 radiation wait radiation that sounds 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:38.430 suspiciously modern for an ancient text 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:41.149 it does wend some researchers argue that 00:21:41.159 --> 00:21:43.590 the descriptions of the Braham mastra 00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:45.750 and other ancient weapons are too 00:21:45.760 --> 00:21:48.149 precise to be purely mythical in the 00:21:48.159 --> 00:21:50.590 mahabat the aftermath of this weapon 00:21:50.600 --> 00:21:52.789 resembles radiation sickness 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.390 descriptions of hair falling out skin 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:58.230 diseases and other symptoms associated 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:00.230 with High radiation 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.870 exposure this has led some to speculate 00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:05.230 that ancient civilizations may have 00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:07.350 possessed knowledge of powerful 00:22:07.360 --> 00:22:10.110 destructive technology similar to our 00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:11.830 modern nuclear 00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:14.669 weapons while mainstream Scholars argue 00:22:14.679 --> 00:22:16.750 that these passages Were Meant to 00:22:16.760 --> 00:22:19.590 symbolize Divine wrath the Striking 00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:22.190 resemblance to modern-day Weaponry keeps 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:24.630 this Theory alive and adds an ominous 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.680 layer to the vman mystery 00:22:27.690 --> 00:22:32.669 [Music] 00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:34.710 some Believers proposed that ancient 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.070 texts describing vman may not be 00:22:37.080 --> 00:22:39.549 recounting the myths of their time but 00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.029 real encounters with alien technology 00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:45.029 supporters of the ancient astronaut 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.870 theory such as Eric Von donin argue that 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.830 Gods arriving in Chariots of Fire were 00:22:51.840 --> 00:22:54.029 actually extraterrestrials in advanced 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:56.630 spacecraft these theorists believe that 00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.590 vman were alien ships and that ancient 00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:02.070 cultures worldwide shared similar 00:23:02.080 --> 00:23:04.470 encounters so you're saying these flying 00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:05.870 machines could have been Galactic 00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:08.350 hand-me-downs from visiting aliens 00:23:08.360 --> 00:23:10.630 possibly the theory suggests that 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.470 extraterrestrials may have visited 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:14.870 different civilizations sharing their 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:16.669 knowledge or inadvertently leaving 00:23:16.679 --> 00:23:19.460 traces of their technology 00:23:19.470 --> 00:23:23.510 [Music] 00:23:23.520 --> 00:23:26.470 behind now let's be clear many 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:28.830 historians and archaeologists are highly 00:23:28.840 --> 00:23:31.669 skeptical of the viman Legends as 00:23:31.679 --> 00:23:34.269 anything more than myth they argue that 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.390 the viman texts have been mated or 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.470 exaggerated over time in their view 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.190 these descriptions simply reflect 00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.510 ancient people's attempts to make sense 00:23:44.520 --> 00:23:47.029 of the world not proof of advanced 00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:50.430 technology and that's fair after all we 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.470 can't ignore the fact that myths often 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.149 grow grander with each retelling first 00:23:55.159 --> 00:23:56.669 there's the controversy around the 00:23:56.679 --> 00:23:59.710 vimanika sastra while some see it as an 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:02.430 ancient manual for flight others argue 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.549 it's a hoax or a 20th century forgery 00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:07.590 the text emerged in the 20th century 00:24:07.600 --> 00:24:10.310 through a man named pundit Subara 00:24:10.320 --> 00:24:12.669 shastri who claimed to have received the 00:24:12.679 --> 00:24:15.710 information through divine revelation so 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.950 he downloaded it like Wi-Fi from the 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.269 gods pretty much critics argue that the 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:25.350 text borrows language and ideas from 00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:28.110 early 20th century Aviation making it 00:24:28.120 --> 00:24:30.909 seem suspiciously modern they also point 00:24:30.919 --> 00:24:33.669 out technical errors in the descriptions 00:24:33.679 --> 00:24:36.710 things that would make flight impossible 00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:37.630 in 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.669 1974 the Indian Institute of Science in 00:24:40.679 --> 00:24:43.590 Bangalore tested the feasibility of the 00:24:43.600 --> 00:24:46.950 designs described in the valonika sastra 00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:49.310 their findings were blunt none of the 00:24:49.320 --> 00:24:52.029 designs would be capable of flight the 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:54.710 engines were impractical and the physics 00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:57.549 behind them were flawed many modern 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.350 scholars believe that shastri's work was 00:25:00.360 --> 00:25:02.389 influenced by contemporary advancements 00:25:02.399 --> 00:25:05.269 in aviation rather than actual ancient 00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.750 knowledge well if the science doesn't 00:25:07.760 --> 00:25:09.990 back it up what's left that's a fair 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.669 question Wendell despite these findings 00:25:12.679 --> 00:25:15.909 the vonica sastra still holds a place in 00:25:15.919 --> 00:25:18.590 popular culture largely because it Taps 00:25:18.600 --> 00:25:20.710 into the collective imagination of 00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:23.770 ancient Tech that's been lost to time 00:25:23.780 --> 00:25:29.750 [Music] 00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:32.310 the search for vanman relics has 00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:34.029 captivated archaeologists and 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.110 researchers alike some even claim that 00:25:37.120 --> 00:25:38.990 Expeditions have been launched to 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.669 uncover these ancient flying machines or 00:25:41.679 --> 00:25:43.669 artifacts that point to Advanced 00:25:43.679 --> 00:25:45.909 Technology one fascinating story 00:25:45.919 --> 00:25:47.950 involves rumored Expeditions in 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.470 Afghanistan where explorers allegedly 00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:53.029 found traces of ancient Viana hidden 00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:55.590 within mountainous caves According to 00:25:55.600 --> 00:25:58.310 some reports these missions were kept 00:25:58.320 --> 00:26:00.590 under wraps and the artifacts were 00:26:00.600 --> 00:26:02.710 possibly even confiscated by 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:05.430 intelligence agencies then there's the 00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:08.190 rumor about certain hidden archives in 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.110 India that supposedly contain blueprints 00:26:11.120 --> 00:26:13.909 or physical remnants of theana wait so 00:26:13.919 --> 00:26:15.669 we're talking top secret missions to 00:26:15.679 --> 00:26:17.950 recover ancient flying machines sounds 00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:19.630 like something straight out of a spy 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:23.230 movie exactly and some conspiracy 00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:25.669 theorists believe that governments 00:26:25.679 --> 00:26:28.310 worldwide especially agencies like the 00:26:28.320 --> 00:26:32.269 CIA the KGB and Indian intelligence may 00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.789 be actively interested in the mono 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.350 technology some suggest that the secrets 00:26:37.360 --> 00:26:39.990 of these artifacts could be too powerful 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.830 to reveal fearing they could disrupt 00:26:42.840 --> 00:26:49.420 Society if made 00:26:49.430 --> 00:26:50.590 [Music] 00:26:50.600 --> 00:26:53.909 public today the debate over vanman 00:26:53.919 --> 00:26:56.870 remains a vibrant one from historians 00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.510 and Engineers to Mystics and psychics 00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:01.990 opinions are as varied as they are 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.310 passionate while Skeptics demand 00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:07.149 concrete evidence Believers point to 00:27:07.159 --> 00:27:09.870 patterns in mythology architecture and 00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:12.389 ancient records that suggest a deeper 00:27:12.399 --> 00:27:15.669 truth about Humanity's past a truth 00:27:15.679 --> 00:27:18.310 that's been lost or obscured over the 00:27:18.320 --> 00:27:21.710 ages so no solid proof but a lot of 00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:23.830 tantalizing stories and mysterious 00:27:23.840 --> 00:27:25.909 artifacts sounds like just enough to 00:27:25.919 --> 00:27:26.990 keep us 00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.710 hooked and as we wrap up this incredible 00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:32.750 journey into the mysteries of vman we're 00:27:32.760 --> 00:27:35.230 left with one of the biggest what ifs of 00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:38.070 all what if ancient civilizations were 00:27:38.080 --> 00:27:40.870 far more advanced than we ever imagined 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.350 what if these Tales aren't just stories 00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:46.190 but fragments of a forgotten history 00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:47.950 whether these flying machines were 00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.029 products of myth divine inspiration or 00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.549 even alien technology one thing is 00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.269 certain the viman have captured the 00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:59.830 human imagination for Cent CES and 00:27:59.840 --> 00:28:02.430 perhaps that's because these stories tap 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:05.029 into something Universal our longing for 00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:08.029 connection with the past with the cosmos 00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:10.669 and with Mysteries beyond our 00:28:10.679 --> 00:28:12.830 understanding well I might be the 00:28:12.840 --> 00:28:16.350 skeptic here but I can't deny this stuff 00:28:16.360 --> 00:28:19.350 is pretty fascinating and hey if ancient 00:28:19.360 --> 00:28:21.830 flying machines do turn out to be real 00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:23.950 at least we'll be ahead of the game 00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:27.669 right exactly Wendell and that's the 00:28:27.679 --> 00:28:30.430 beauty of Divergent history we get to 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.509 ask
