The Theory of Time Travel Has Existed For A Very Long Time

In Hindu mythology, there is a story about King Raivata Kakudmi who travels to meet the creator, Brahma in the ancient Indian text of the Mahabharata. This story was written sometime during the 8th century BC. "When Kakudmi returned to earth, 108 yugas had passed. Each yuga represents about 4 million years. The explanation Brahma gave Kakudmi is that time passes differently on the different planes of existence." 

 

There have also been Time Travel references in the Quran in which a group of individuals, the year 250 AD, sought to the persecution and left under God's guidance. They fled to a cave where God made them sleep and then woke up 309 years later. This story relates to the Christian story of the seven sleepers, with a few differences. 

According to Erick von Daniken: 

“In the Bible, the prophet Jeremiah was sitting together with a few of his friends, and there was a young boy. His name was Abimelech, and Jeremiah said to Abimelech, “Go out of Jerusalem, there is a hill and collect some figs for us.” The boy went out and collected the fresh figs. All of a sudden, Abimelech hears some noise and wind in the air, and he becomes unconscious, he had a blackout. After a time, he wakes up again, and he saw it was nearly the evening. So, when he runs back to the society and the city was full of strange soldiers. And he says, “What’s going on here? Where are Jeremiah and all the others?” And an old man said, “That was 62 years ago.” It’s a time travel story written in the Bible. 

In the Japanese legend of Urashima Taro, a man visits the underwater palace of the Dragon God Ryujin, in which he stayed there for three days. When he returned to the surface, he realized 300 years had gone by. 

In the Buddhist text Pali Canon it is written that in the heaven of the thirty Devas (the place of the Gods), time passes to a different rhythm, where a hundred years of the earth count there as a single day
