Very intriguing indeed!

It seems that if "flying machines" did not exist in the days of ancient Egypt, the ancient Egyptians somehow had visions of them. But how?

Did the Rosetta stone not serve as key for the interpretation of the hieroglyphs at Abydos? It will certainly be interesting to see what light they shed on those flying machines glyphs!

By the way, in the Ramayana epic (~1000 B.C.) of India, references were made to flying "vimanas" or flying chariots which were seemingly equipped with laser-like weapons and mini-nukes.

And, closer to our time, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) sketched images of flying machines, a submarine (and a parachute). Again, what was it that enabled him to envision the machines of the future? Was it a certain gnosis that could be awakened in man? Or was he just being extremely "lucky" in his imagination. Or was he somehow prompted from without? And could it be that Jules Verne's ideas were mere extrapolations from Leonardo's visions?

Terrence this certainly is an Intriguing Website. I have been to
Egypt on several ocassions, for extended visits. I have been to Abydos and saw with my own eyes the carvings in this temple.

The Great Pyramid of Giza are very fascinating to me. The
first trip, I could not bring myself to enter the Great Pyramid of
Cheops. The second trip, I forced myself and when I reached
the Great Room...put one foot in ..the lights went out.. I took a step back and the lights went on. Then I tried again..lights out..
Needless to say I have not made that trek since. I have rocks
from every site in Egypt. It is the only Country where I feel at "home" and the people accept me as one of their own.

I am also a lover of Crystals. This is a very informative site
for some of us I am sure..Thanks...SD
