The radiation is still so strong that it is very dangerous to be in this area. A heavy layer of radioactive ash in Rajasthan, India, 16 kilometers west of Jodhpur, covers an area of 5 square kilometers. Scientists are exploring this area.
Those living in this area have a high rate of birth defects and cancer. Radiation levels there are such that the Indian government has now had to cordon off the area. Scientists have unearthed an ancient city here, where, according to research, a nuclear explosion took place, which destroyed most of the buildings and many people. One researcher believes that a nuclear bomb was used the same size as the one dropped by the US military on Japan in 1945.
The Mahabharata describes a catastrophic explosion that looks like a nuclear one. “One projectile charged with all the power of the Universe … A column of smoke and flame, bright as 10,000 suns, rose in all its splendor … It was a weapon like an iron thunderbolt, a giant messenger of death that turned all living things to dust. The bodies were burned beyond recognition. The pottery broke for no apparent reason, and the birds turned pale. Within a few hours, all foods were contaminated. To escape this fire, the soldiers threw themselves into the river."
Historian Comments
The historian K. Ganguly says that Indian scriptures are full of such passages that describe nuclear explosions. He cites references to fighting with celestial chariots and weapons of mass destruction. The ancient battle is described, for example, in Drona Parva, section of the Mahabharata.
“It talks about a battle where explosions of lethal weapons destroyed entire armies, causing crowds of warriors with horses, elephants and weapons to be swept away as if they were dry leaves of trees,” Ganguly says. “Instead of describing mushroom clouds, perpendicular explosions with billowing clouds of smoke are mentioned, as if someone were opening giant umbrellas. There are comments about food contamination, hair loss."

Archaeologist F. Taylor suggests that the engravings in some nearby temples contain prayers for deliverance from the great light that sought to destroy the city. “It's hard to imagine, but civilizations before us had nuclear technology. The presence of radioactive zones is confirmed by ancient Indian scriptures describing atomic battles."
There is evidence that Rama's empire (now India) was devastated by nuclear war. The Indus Valley is now the Thar Desert, and the radioactive ash zone discovered west of Jodhpur is located roughly in this area.
During excavations in Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, skeletons were found on the streets of cities. Many of them were in positions that could indicate sudden death. People simply lay unburied on the streets of the city. What could cause this situation? Why weren't the bones taken away by wild animals? In addition, there are no visible traces of a violent death. These skeletons are some of the most radioactive ever found. In one place, scientists found a skeleton that had a radioactive level 50 times higher than normal.
Also in northern India, other cities have been found that have retained signs of very powerful explosions. One such city, found between the Ganges River and the Rajmahal Mountains, appears to have been exposed to a heat source. Huge masses of walls and foundations of the ancient city are fused together, literally like glass. And since there are no signs of a volcanic eruption in Mohenjo-Daro or in other cities, the molten clay vessels can be explained by the assumption that there was a nuclear explosion or some other unknown weapon was used. These cities were completely destroyed.
Interestingly, the chief scientist of the Manhattan Nuclear Test Project, Dr. R. Oppenheimer, was familiar with Sanskrit literature. When asked in an interview at the University of Rochester, seven years after the Alamogordo nuclear test, if this was the first nuclear bomb explosion, he replied: “Ancient cities whose brick and stone walls are literally fused like glass can be found in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, Turkey and other places. There is no logical explanation for these phenomena other than the effect of a nuclear explosion."
Giant funnels
Another curious sign of an ancient nuclear war in India is the giant crater near Bombay. An almost circular crater with a diameter of 2,154 meters, located 400 kilometers northeast of Bombay, may be associated with the past nuclear war.
No traces of meteorites were found nearby, although this crater in the basalt was created by impact. The impact pressure exceeded 600,000 atmospheres and was accompanied by intense, sharp heat, which led to the formation of glass balls in the basalt.
