Is Ezekiels wheel a description of 4 Menorahs?
3 branches are the rings. The center lamp with 4 cups are the 4 faces. Leaves and petals are the wings.
Menorah of pure gold. It is to be made of hammered work; its base, shaft, cups, ring of outer leaves and petals are to be of one piece with it. 32 It is to have six branches extending from its sides, three branches of the menorah on one side of it and three on the other.
33 On one branch are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a ring of outer leaves and petals; likewise on the opposite branch three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a ring of outer leaves and petals; and similarly for all six branches extending from the menorah.
34 On the central shaft of the menorah are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with its ring of outer leaves and petals.
35 Where each pair of branches joins the central shaft is to be a ring of outer leaves of one piece with the pair of branches -thus for all six branches.
36 The rings of outer leaves and their branches are to be of one piece with the shaft. Thus the whole menorah is to be a single piece of hammered work made of pure gold.
37 "Make seven lamps for the menorah, and mount them so as to give light to the space in front of it.
38 Its tongs and trays are to be of pure gold.
39 The menorah and its utensils are to be made of sixty-six pounds of pure gold.
40 See that you make them according to the design being shown you on the mountain.

Default Ezekiel's wheel

I don't know. I have always thought that Von Daniken's spaceship idea had a lot of merit. The descriptions are rather symbolically hyperbolic and whackadoo.
