One of the world’s oldest documents, The Mahabharata, includes detailed accounts of technologically advanced flying craft and nuclear battles complete with radiation sickness and mushroom clouds. What do you make of it?

Flying Aircraft & Nuclear War and Other Strange Occurrences of The Past

The Indian Epics, especially the MAHABHARATA, pick up the thread of the tale of devastation and destruction. Atlantis, rather displeased at its humiliating defeat, deceived that they were no longer interested in subjugating the Rama Empire (An Indian Empire), and decided instead to annihilate the major cities using weapons of mass destruction. Sanskrit scholars could not comprehend what was being described in the Epics until the dropping of the first atomic bombs on Japan.

There are AUTHENTIC VERSES from the Indian Epics:

“Gurkha, flying a swift and powerful vimana (fast aircraft) hurled a single projectile (rocket) charged with the power of the Universe (nuclear device). An incandescent column of smoke and flame, as bright as ten thousand suns, rose with all its splendor. It was an unknown weapon, 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 unrecognizable.

I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.”…

If you have not yet had the pleasure of tuning in to the incredible podcasts from Radiolab, I highly recommend you do. This week on Radiolab we hear the incredible story of the miraculous mechanical monk:

A Clockwork Miracle
(Radiolab)

In 1562, King Philip II needed a miracle. So he commissioned one from a highly-skilled clockmaker. In this short, a king’s deal with God leads to a creation that, to this day, remains in perfect working order at the Smithsonian…where Jad pays it a visit.

When the 17-year-old crown prince of Spain, Don Carlos, fell down a set of stairs in 1562, he threw his whole country into a state of uncertainty about the future. Especially his father, King Philip II, who despite being the most powerful man in the world, was helpless in the face of his heir’s terrible head wound…
