8,000 Year Old Indian City Irradiated by Atomic Blast - The Mahabharata clearly describes a catastrophic blast
that rocked the continent - Radiation is 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 http://ancientexplorers.com/locations/india/8000-year-old-indian-city-irradiated-by-atomic-blast/
Consider these verses from the ancient Mahabharata: http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/maha/
…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 splendour…
a perpendicular explosion
with its billowing smoke clouds…
…the cloud of smoke
rising after its first explosion
formed into expanding round circles
like the opening of giant parasols…
..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 unrecognisable.
The hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
And the birds turned white.
After a few hours
All foodstuffs were infected…
…to escape from this fire
The soldiers threw themselves in streams
To wash themselves and their equipment.
Until the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
modern mankind could not imagine any weapon as horrible and devastating as those described in the ancient Indian texts.
Yet they very accurately described the effects of an atomic explosion.
Radioactive poisoning will make hair and nails fall out.
Immersing oneself in water gives some respite, though it is not a cure.
There are several possible dates for Kurukshetra battle. According to Mahabharata, battle occurred in the year when Mars on Antares, after performing retrograde motion earlier that year, came into opposition with Saturn on Aldebaran and there was also a Solar eclipse on Antares later that year. Only 3067 B.C. matches all the criteria.

According to some renowned experts, battle actually started on November 22nd 3067 B.C. Mahabharata has been widely accepted as a myth, but what if we are dealing with accurate historical records? Krishna's legendary city of Dwaraka has been found underwater in 1983, just as Mahabharata describes it. Indian government stopped excavations without any reasonable explanation.
Interesting documentary on underwater cities.

Very interesting though.
because it's an Olympic year - survival of the fittest and all.
