So /his/, this might sound like a pretty hardcore conspiracy theory, and outright laughable/implausible at first sight, but I want your take.
There is -some- evidence that points to the use of nuclear weapons being used some 3-4,000 years ago during an ancient war in india,
An ancient Indian Epic, the Mahabharata documents apparently some sort of fiery devastation, pillars of smoke, heat and light.
There also exists a rare crater (the only crater scientifically documented in history to be without impact) where an actual physical object didn't strike earth around relevant areas.
My own opinion is that, although nuclear physics might seem complicated, the general mechanism that is a nuclear bomb is awfully simple. If an ancient civilization had a working knowledge of some metallurgic trade (we'd call it alchemy today) and the ability to mine, construction would be very straightforward. The only thing far fetched is how somebody would have went about thinking up the interaction of volatile material. Remember than gun powder was invented a millennium before working knowledge of the atom; the principles of volatility are similar, and so is the mechanism by which they can be catabolized.
Aren't literal fucking gods fighting in the mahabharata? Lol come on

Sorry op this sounds like some Scientology tier shit

Scientology is the heart of autism, but the doesn't relate at all. Anyway, citation please OP.

What crater?
Lonar lake? Maybe you should use google on those crazy Facebook claims, instead of coming here.

Getting sufficient quantities of sufficiently pure U-235 or other fissile material would be anything but straightforward.

And my own opinion is that you know fuck all about nuclear bombs. I base that on the fact that you indicate that a "nuclear bomb is awfully simple". Nuclear bomb? You are aware that multiple types exist, right? All with different techniques of achieving critical mass?
Even the implosion-type nuclear bombs are sophisticated as shit. Drawings and renderings of their operating principles don't even begin to paint a picture of their complexity.

Read Faking History by Jason Colavito for clarification. In short, von Däniken derived much of his information and speculation from Pauwels and Bergier's Morning of the Magicians, who misquote out-of-context passages from Vedic literature to claim that India experienced Atomic Warfare 10,000 years. ago. The section that they cite was translated into English from a 1899 Sanskrit-German translation, with no indication where in the 1.8 million word epic it came from, or in what context the weapon worked.

The Mahabharata is considered to have been based on an actual conflict, not just a mythical tale they came up with.
ayy lmao
>making a nuke is simple
Lol, no. One does not simply find enriched uranium and high explosives lying around on the ground. To build a gun type nuclear bomb (like Little Boy) you need a sizable quantity of relatively pure U-235 and enough high explosives to slam the two pieces together hard enough to cause your nuclear material to go critical.
Simply mining uranium will not provide you with yellow cake U-235.

volcano or meteor
Yeah and rocket science seems complicated but the mechanisms that power a rocket are awfully simple.

Yeah and Agamemnon sent in paratroopers to secure inland objectives before he landed on the beaches of Troy
What? they had birds back then, it's not that far fetched to assume they could have invented heavier then air flight and modern military tactics. Maybe we just lost all evidence of it in a fire

>atomic bombs awfully simple
>like serious guise dey really arrrr
explain then why the nazi's (who had some of the best scientists at the time working on them) never got round to making one, not even after 4 years of research?
>>488626
of course they didn't send in para troopers... they used tanks... What? They could build armor and chariots... we just lost all evidence of tank building when the library of alexandria was destroyed...

>There is -some- evidence that points to the use of nuclear weapons being used some 3-4,000 years ago during an ancient war in india,
I've heard about this theory, but come on. Isn't the "evidence" based on few areas like dried up lake bottoms that have higher levels of natural radiation than the surrounding areas. These places would be the supposed ground zeros.
That's some hardcore von Däniken shit right here
>>484647
It is literally way more likely that aliens nuked earth then it is for ancient humans to accidentally invent atomic weapons. Not to say that aliens are likely at all though.
we wuz nuclear physicists and shit

But what if Sparticus had a Piper Cub? That's for another thread…..
My black history teacher told me the Nubians were conquering the galaxy in 1200 BC, but whitey is just keeping em' down.
The absoloute absence of evidence is irrelevant.

I don't care about the crater but that war or events that are described in geeta are real and not mythology bcoz there are many astronomical references And they are all very accurate and give us the date of something around 3067bce. And not only astronomical but it even mentions saraswati river which dried before 2000 bce.
>>484647
And if we assume that events of mahabharata are real and if we assume god really visited earth then....
Whats wrong in believing that there was some nuclear weapon or explosion bcoz DUH its GOD we are talking bout.
And also bdw it was Oppenheimer himself who started these ancient nuclear war in mahabharata thing.

what kind of fucking response is that to "ancient aliens?"?

How does it imply a NUCLEAR bomb though?
