atomic weapons in ancient india?
on: May 13, 2009, 02:01:57 PM
According to World Island Review, January 1992, a heavy layer of radioactive ash in Rajasthan, India was found which covers a three-square mile area, ten miles west of Jodhpur. Scientists were 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. 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 researchers estimates that the nuclear bomb used was about the size of the ones dropped on Japan in 1945. skeletons discovered in the extremely ancient sites of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, Pakistan, have also been found to be extremely radioactive

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 splendor...it was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race.

Archeologist 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 mid-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." (Quote)


certainly makes me wonder if their is any truth to all of this :o

There is no World Island Review.

There is no Katy Hirschboeck, science writer (supposedly the author.)

Given those two items, I tend to be cautiously skeptical about the rest of the story!

Amazing, illuminist. In just a handful of posts you've managed to solicit a willingness to believe in any kind of insanity imaginable.  Well done, champ!

Oh, but it is all true, you know! Really! The ones that threw that bomb were from Atlantis, but they weren't able to escape the revenge bombardment from India. What remained of them escaped to the continent of Mu, which then was all but obliterated by the fish-people of Mars (you know, the ones that built the "Face of Mars"), after which Mu sank. The survivors now live on Mercury. The messenger probe has photographed their cities, but the NASA keeps these photographs  secret.

Let's make some attempt not to be totally gullible here.

That supposed geologist doesn't even claim to have visited the site.  He just quotes the World Island Review which has already been shown not to exist.

And it's not an article, really.  It's just a blog, somebody's whimsical musings.  He has several other articles on the same site, I encourage you to visit them.  If they do not influence your judgement of his credibility then there is very little hope for you. 

Jharkhand is a state in India.  Rajasthan is also a state, it's not a city as the first article implies.  The two states are not even close, they are on opposite sides (East and West) of a very large country with a billion residents (that's right, 5 times the size of the US). 

Finally, let me point out that this "geologist" assumes the Earth was created in 4004 BC per the book of Genesis and Bishop Ussher.

Posts like this (and his other Nazi-related speculations) make me really think that the government needs to start making people get a license in order to use a computer keyboard.

Here are the problems with that:

from 8000-12000 years ago they did not have iron (which was said in the qoute)

in that time I don't think they had language (not sure)

if it was as large as the one in Japan in 1945 how would they have launched it?

and how would they have tested it, if they had not I doubt they would have tried it

if it is a construction site why would be giving birth there and why would it be affecting people today

how would we still have the quote?

why would there be half a million people in an ancient place?

I think this stuff goes back to William Burroughs and Bryan Gysin in the 1970s. They made it all up (they were novelists, after all!) under the influence of too many narcotics. So far so good: trouble is, some people thought it sounded such a nice story they wanted to believe it was true.
