thread_title:  Seems good 

message: In the Rig Veda the word used that was interpreted in the 19th century for chariot was vimana, so the idea that the concept of the vimana as a flying machine is post vedic is post vedic is in error. Also we find that there were energy weapons used sometimes termed as Indras iron thunderbolt was used during many battles to destroy the iron forts of the Dyasu, There were at time hundreds of thousands of people that died during dingle battles, These weapons were used via the vimanas which the deva used. The term deva was also erroneously interpreted as gods by the first translators and this has stuck. The term deva just meant a type of being that was not asura. The deva fought the asuras and this is the main theme of the rig veda. There in the older sections metaphors of the devas battling on the cosmic realm. This is found most frequently is the battles long ago between Indra and Vrtra. In some of the songs Vrtra lays upon the mountains blocking the rivers leaving a parched land where few people of animals lived. Indra struck Vrtra with his iron thunderbolt and released the floods and the rains came and the land turned to pasture and many cattle were found. Indra released the cows from the cave. This is an apt description of what happened at the end of the ice age. In this case Vrtra was the vast glaciers that lay atop the vast mountain ranges and then something happened, a great light in the sky and the ice melted. There are several possibilities as to what this might of been. About 13,000 years ago the Vela supernova exploded and it was near enough to bathe the solar system with enough radiation to significantly alter the climate. The second possibility is that a meteor struck and the blast brought about a climate change that ended the ice age and was responsible for the mass extinction of the mega fauna. The third possibility is that there was a vast explosion that destroyed the mega fauna and ended the ice age. Over Michigan about 13,000 years ago there was vast explosion that was the equivalent of a many giga ton nuclear explosion. The university of Michigan and McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada found that there was explosion that would have vaporized everything over a vast area of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Ontario that deposited vast amounts of radioactive fallout that can still be detected in the soil today. There is plutonium in the soils of all these area and plutonium is not known to exist outside of atomic reactions. What it really was no one knows, but it did happen. The researchers found that the blast was large enough to destroy the mega fauna east of the Rocky Mountains. They also stated that it reset the carbon 14 clocks and so it should be considered that many of the sites in the area around the centre blast area just north of Detroit instead of being 11,000 years old could be as much as 30,000 years old or more.
In the later Srimad Bagavatam there is a terrible was where Nrsimha Deva weilds a terrible weapon that destroy whole seeming continents and defeats the asuras. In this account emissaries come from many different planets after the devas defeat the asuras. They are are of course flying Vimanas. When we look at some of the scientific concepts found in the Rig Veda we find that they are extremely advanced. In 125th song of the 1st rig veda we find an exposition of astrology that did not exist again until the 17th century, and in many ways goes beyond what was found then and in fact resembles the astrology used by western astrologers in the 21st century. In there we find the concept of 4 elements, three qualities, sulpher salt and mercury. Seven planets, twelve signs and everything goes around the sun. These concepts were never found in ancient Roman or Babylonian astrology, other than the seven planets and 12 signs. The elements and qualities were only developed into the astrological system during the 18th and nineteenth centuries and refined in the twentieth century. And yet this fully developed system in found in a book that is at least 1400 years old and written down in the 8th century BC. The Babylonian astrolgy only developed in the 5th century BC and was not nearly as advanced as the system found in the Rig Veda. 
No matter what you think about astrology it is constantly developing and advancing in the western systems and was only fully developed and refined the latter half of the twentieth century. The same system is found in the Rig Veda. The context in which the first Veda is found appears to be at the end of the last ice ice. The first veda is the oldest veda and yet twentieth century concepts are found there.
So did they have flying machines too?

replies: text: Most of the above is really about the Younger Dryas event. Take a look at  pages 55 on. It isn't uptodate, but it does discuss a mention of a possible nuclear catastrophe, later morphing into an exploding comet. Doug Weller (talk) 18:06, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

message: "In Swami Dayananda Saraswati's "translation", these verses mean..."
Come off it. It's either a translation or it isn't. Or an interpretation, but "translation" is snarky. Kortoso (talk) 22:25, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV? 

message: The article largely talks about Vimana as a flying chariot. The only other notable meaning of Vimana is the architectural feature which has its own article. A google search confirms that vimana is largely denotes aircraft or temple feature. I thus WP:BOLDly transforming this article as an article about flying chariot.--Redtigerxyz  Talk  05:43, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

message: This reference has nothing to do with Vimanas, but rather is discussing astrological influences. There are clearer references. There are many references throughout the Rig Veda referring to Indras car.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.47.249.246 (talk) 17:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Many thanks 

message: Right now the article just lists their mentions and descriptions in classical texts. Is there any historical analysis or interpretation of what the origin for these stories are, because it sounds an awful lot like a fanciful description of a siege tower.

thread_title:  Mythological? Really? 

message: Possibly, the difficulty is, I don't speak Sanskrit, so if that reference isn't allowed, I can't actually confirm that the text says what I quoted it as saying (and the "Baroda" reference isn't OCRed well enough to be copied into Google Translate) - maybe someone else can confirm that from the "Baroda" reference.
