    Few excerpts from the Mahabharata have made historians believe that nuclear weapons were used in the Mahabharata war: “An incandescent column of smoke and flame, as bright as ten thousand suns, rose with its entire splendor.”

    At one site, Soviet scholars found a skeleton which had a radioactive level 50 times greater than normal, which seems to have been subjected to intense heat. And since there is no indication of a volcanic eruption at these sites, the intense heat can only be explained by an atomic blast or some other unknown weapon.

    Many researchers believe that the weapons used in Mahabharata were a combination of ancient earthly weapons and the highly powerful and advanced futuristic weapons, especially the various types of “Asthras” (missiles) and “Dhanush” (launchers).
