Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted February 6, 2002 Tonight on the History Channel was a program called "Secrets of the Ancient World". This episode dealt with UFOs as found in ancient writings. Sadaputa Prabhu was on discussing the Vimanas in the Mahabharata and Ramayan. Two interesting episodes in Alexander the Great's life were told in which UFOs assisted. Apparently the description of flying shields was recorded by both sides of the conflict. At one point, it is written that one of these shields fired a beam at a fortress wall which was destroyed allowing Alexander to invade. Anyways, it was pretty interesting.

Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted February 6, 2002 I'm not sure I follow exactly. Is Alexander mentioned in the Bible? I guess from an historical perspective there is no reason why not. But I didn't realize he was specifically mentioned. Any verse numbers? Just curious. Gauracandra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
