An Ancient War

The weapon was " a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame, as bright as the thousand suns, rose in all its splendor … An iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death, which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas … the corpses were so burned as to be unrecogniseable. The hair and nails fell out; pottery broke without apparent cause, and the birds turned white. … After a few hours all food was infected .. to escape from this fire the soldiers threw themselves in streams to wash themselves and their equipment …"

It would seem the Mahabharata is describing an atomic war, and accounts like this are not isolated. Aside from the historic accounts though, is some compelling evidence.

When the Rishi City of Mohenjodaro was excavated by archeologists in the last century, they found skeletons just lying in the streets, some of them holding hands, as if some great doom had suddenly overtaken them. These skeletons were examined and found to be among the most radioactive ever found, on a par with those found at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

There are ancient cities in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, and Turkey whose brick and stone walls have literally been vitrified (fused together). There is no logical explanation for the vitrification of stone forts and cities, except from an atomic blast.

Other evidence from Mohenjodaro includes mysterious "black glass lumps" which littered the streets. Further analysis of these showed they were infact the remnants of clay pots which had been melted under intense heat.

With the cataclysmic sinking of Atlantis and the wiping out of Rama with atomic weapons, the world collapsed into a "stone age" of sorts, and modern history picks up a few thousand years later - but it would seem that not all the ancients were gone.
