Rajasthan, India, Ancient City Found, Irradiated From Atomic Blast

 (0ld News)

Radiation still so intense, the area is highly dangerous. A heavy layer of

radioactive ash in Rajasthan, India, covers a three square mile area, ten

miles west of Jodhpur. Scientists are investigating the site, where a housing

development was being built.

For some time it has been established that there is a very high rate of

birth defects and cancer in the area under construction. The levels of

radiation there have registered so high on investigators' gauges that the

Indian government has now cordoned off the region.

Scientists have unearthed an ancient city where evidence shows an atomic

blast dating back thousands of years, from 8,000 to 12,000 years, destroyed

most of the buildings and probably a half-million people.

One researcher estimates that the nuclear bomb used was about the size of

the ones dropped on Japan in 1945.

The Mahabharata clearly describes a catastrophic blast that rocked the

continent.

"A single projectile charged with all the power in the Universe... An

incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as 10,000 suns, rose in all

its splendour...it was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic

messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race.

"The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. Their hair and

nails fell out, pottery broke without any apparent cause, and the birds

turned white.

"After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected. To escape from this

fire, the soldiers threw themselves into the river."

A HISTORIAN COMMENTS

Historian Kisari Mohan Ganguli says that Indian sacred writings are full of

such descriptions, which sound like an atomic blast as experienced in

Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He says references mention fighting sky hariots and final

weapons.

An ancient battle is described in the Drona Parva, a section of the

Mahabharata.

"The passage tells of combat where explosions of final weapons decimate

entire armies, causing crowds of warriors with steeds and elephants and

weapons to be carried away as if they were dry leaves of trees," says

Ganguli.

"Instead of mushroom clouds, the writer describes a perpendicular

explosion with its billowing smoke clouds as consecutive openings of giant

parasols. There are comments about the contamination of food and people's

hair falling out."

ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION PROVIDES INFORMATION

Archaeologist Francis Taylor says that etchings in some nearby temples he

has managed to translate suggest that they prayed to be spared from the

great light that was coming to lay ruin to the city.

"It's so mind-boggling to imagine that some civilization had nuclear

technology before we did.

"The radioactive ash adds credibility to the ancient Indian records that

describe atomic warfare."

Construction has halted while the five member team conducts the

investigation. The foreman of the project is Lee Hundley, who pioneered the

investigation after the high level of radiation was discovered.
