The Times of India reports:

 Indians had mastered aviation thousands of years before the Wright brothers, claimed a controversial paper presented at the 102nd Indian Science Congress here on Sunday.

Ancient aviation, as described by Maharshi Bharadwaja, was more advanced than modern day technology, said the paper presented by Captain Anand Bodas and Ameya Jadhav. “The knowledge of aeronautics is described in Sanskrit in 100 sections, eight chapters, 500 principles and 3,000 verses. In the modern day, only 100 principles are available,” stated the paper.

Bodas said Maharishi Bharadwaj spoke 7,000 years ago of “aeroplanes which travel from one country to another, one continent to another and one planet to another. He mentioned 97 reference books for aviation.”

Regrettably, as it seems, even a traditional nation like India is catching up with the cultureless literalism of the modern West.  When Hindus could still think symbolically, they could recognize the images and metaphors in their ancient documents at the figurative level.  Now apparently, like Erich “Chariots of the Gods” van Däniken, when they read that Krishna flew on the back of Garuda through the circles of heaven, they can only dumbly think in terms of contemporary hardware.  Was Vishnu actually an extra-terrestrial?  Indian Ancient Astronaut Theorists say yes.  More tonight on the Discovery Channel!

Thomas F. Bertonneau touched upon the wildly popular Discovery channel show entitled “Ancient Aliens”. I don’t know if you or any other of your readers have seen the show, but it is a hoot. While the show does explore some interesting and unexplained (or under explained) issues regarding some archeological sites, it always goes overboard and becomes laughable. If taken to its logical conclusion, “Ancient alien theorists” (a line which is used at least thirty times per show) believe that every invention you could possibly think of had the long, grey, skinny hands of aliens involved. Toilet paper? Ancient aliens. Shoelaces? Ancient aliens. Drinking straws? What are you kidding me?? Ancient aliens! According to these guys, man is just a hairless ape who would be incapable of boiling water without the help of aliens. Its a great theory for todays anti-man mindset. I suppose this also gives some succor to non-whites who believe that the white man stole every piece of tech (and credit) he could get his hands on from the dark man. But in the end it was the grey alien man. This could be a good thing though. Maybe the grey man could be the new whipping boy for everything wrong with the world? After all, he is now at the top of the racial heap!
