Video - The Earth from Ancient Eyes
Did you know that the ancient Hindu text, the Mahabharata, contains a fascinating chapter that describes how the Earth looks from space? It's remarkable to consider how someone in ancient times could have imagined or described our planet from such a perspective. This intriguing description appears in a passage where Sanjaya, the narrator, describes the Earth as it appears in the universe, comparing it to a person seeing their reflection in a mirror. Sanjaya's description includes observations such as seeing "people in leaves" and in another phase, seeing "a rabbit in other foreign objects." These poetic descriptions are thought to convey the diverse and varied landscapes of the Earth as seen from a great distance, much like the view from space. While some skeptics may dismiss these ancient texts as mere fiction, it's interesting to note that the CIA had a top-secret project called Project Stargate, where they trained agents in remote viewing techniques—a form of clairvoyance that involves perceiving distant locations. This connection adds an intriguing layer to the possibility that ancient seers could have accessed information about the Earth from a vantage point far above the planet. The Mahabharata's descriptions remind us of the vast and profound knowledge contained in ancient texts.
