Nearly 1,000 previously unknown texts were discovered in a series of caves marked as the ruins of ancient Qumran, on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. Considered the oldest known surviving Biblical texts, particular interest in the mysterious Dead Sea Scrolls to Ancient Alien theorists is the Divine Throne-Chariot script. Inspired by the books of Ezekiel and Revelation, the Divine Throne-Chariot is described as a Merkabah, both supported and drawn by cherubim. Each cherubim is credited for making a little noise as it folds wings, though the Bible does not mention this at all in Kings. The area below the throne seat is described to have turning wheels where angels come and go coupled with an array of beautiful colors. As the Throne-Chariot is indeed written as the vehicle of God, the descriptions definitely seem to build a picture of an ancient flying device using the context available to our ancestors at the time. Furthermore, literature on the Merkabah is scarce because the subject was forbidden in the Mishnah to share any knowledge or understanding of the Merkabah with anyone who was less knowledgeable.
