More than 2,500 years ago, prophet Ezekiel's vision during the Babylonian exile sparks ongoing debates. He observed fire folding, thunderous sounds, and beings with four distinct faces—human, lion, ox, and eagle—accompanied by complex wheels moving effortlessly in any direction without turning. These wheels, adorned with eyes, exhibited intelligent coordination.

Above them was a platform, and on it sat a human-like figure. Traditionally seen as a divine vision, the mechanical details hint at a technological phenomenon. The Hebrew text describes glowing metals and engineered structures. The 'wheel within a wheel' and 'eyes all around' suggest rotating devices with sensor-like features.

Ezekiel's experience, including being lifted by his hair and transported, implies a physical, controlled event. This sequence is repeated throughout the Book of Ezekiel, emphasizing mechanical precision. Religious interpretations have turned these visions into allegories, yet the original text preserves its mechanical integrity.

Babylonian astronomy and engineering may provide context, but the described mechanics suggest advanced machinery. Some theories propose that Ezekiel was abducted and returned by intelligent beings, possibly the Anunnaki. His narrative sounds like an ancient technical report, consistent with structured transportation.

Whether divine or technological, Ezekiel's vision resists simple allegorical reduction, preserving a record of potential contact with advanced machinery or divine presence expressed mechanically.
