This entire section is presented with a "tongue in cheek" spirit, since there are somewhat questionable theories that the Atlantean civilization had ostensibly acquired the knowledge of aeronautics, and that others on the continent had achieved similar intelligence. In the Sanskrit epics of ancient India, aerial vehicles were known as vimanas, and the knowledge of aeronautics was termed Viman Vidya. Even Ezekiel in the Bible may have encountered some of these unique airships, which he took to be "visions of cherubim".
