Mohenjo-Daro
Mohenjo-Daro was a metropolis in which a flourishing civilization developed, which arose between 2500 and 2100 B.C. and was destroyed under mysterious circumstances. Whose remains were brought to light in 1944 by Sir Mortimer Weeler. Among his enigmas is pictographic writing, still undeciphered, in which scholars have classified at least 400 signs, similar to rebuses.
Regarding its end, official science proposes two hypotheses: the first considers the flooding of the Indus river, and the second alleges the invasions of the Aryan peoples. But the burn marks on the city walls would rule out flooding, and the extent of the destruction would rule out "human" prehistoric warfare.
I see a close analogy between the destruction of the city of Mohenjo-Daro and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. First, both regions (the Indus valley and the biblical pentapolis in the valley of Siddim) are devastated and in both cases a character, warned of imminent danger, manages to take refuge in a "safe area". Furthermore, in the two versions the punishment is inflicted as a result of a sexual offence, where in the case of Danda/Mohenjo-Daro the punishment avenges the sexual assault suffered by Bhargava's daughter.
This story, considered for centuries a fantastic episode, a myth, found instead scientific confirmation when the archaeologist David Davenport, an expert in Sanskrit writing, found, precisely in Mohenjo-Daro, evident traces of atomic contamination which took place in 2,000 B.C., as well as innumerable vitrified objects that only an intense heat could have produced, and walls that collapsed under an unheard-of power blast...
The discovery confirmed the fact that the ancient Indian writers used to scrupulously distinguish the mythical literature, called Daiva , from the documented chronicles, called Manusa. And it is precisely in the Manusa that the most elaborate functions and details of the Vimanas are described.
Indian epic texts abound with struggles between gods, between gods and demigods, between humans and demigods. These battles were conducted, by the gods, with the use of decidedly futuristic war machines, Vimana in the lead. But despite the extraordinary performance, the Vimanas could be shot down. In the Karna Parva section of the Mahabharata it reads
"Karna took up a terrible weapon, the tongue of the Destroyer, the Sister of Death, a tremendous and shining weapon. When the Rakshasas (demons not much unlike modern grays) saw the excellent weapon and blazing aimed at them, they were afraid. The blazing missile rose into the night sky and entered the star-like formation, and reduced the Vimana of the Rakshasas to ashes. The enemy vessel fell from the sky with a tremendous noise."
Even the weapons fired by the Vimanas could be intercepted and shot down. Also in the Drona Parva is reported a fight between the gods, presumably with nuclear weapons.
"Attacked by Valadeva, Jarasandha, greatly enraged, hurled at us, to destroy us, a projectile capable of killing all creatures on earth. Projecting a blinding light, the mass of fire split the firmament in two, like a comb separating hair on the head. When he saw the flaming object, the Son of Rohimi (a deity) hurled a weapon called Sthunakarma at him; this weapon annihilated the power of the enemy's projectile, which struck the earth, wounding it and making the mountains tremble".
The realistic accuracy of this and other narratives, even the descriptions of the Vimanas are objectively too detailed in their technical characteristics to be considered mere myths. Of a Vimana called Puspaka, described in the Ramayana, it is clearly said that its luminosity was due to fiery jets issuing from a series of nozzles similar to golden columns; its interior was equipped with metal hatches and a large control cabin, the "pavilion", with a neither cold nor hot environment, equipped with comfortable seats for passengers, "the noble seats".
Puspaka could be remotely controlled "according to the soul's desire".
Vimanas of this type (according to the Puranas there were different models, the Sundara Vimanas, similar to our Apollo spacecraft, and the Tripura Vimanas, elongated flying machines), could fly over great distances thanks to the air and a strange fuel "of fire and mercury".
"By means of these machines,"
relates another text, the Samar,
"human beings could fly in the air and demigods descend to the earth. These ascended to the Solar Regions (Suryamandala) and then, beyond these, to the Stellar Regions (Naksatramandala)."
Furthermore
"The last inhabitants of Mohenjo-Daro died a sudden and violent death"
wrote archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler.
In the rubble of the city 43 skeletons were found evidently the bulk of the population had had time to evacuate: these are people caught by an instantaneous death while attending to their chores. A small family made up of a father, mother and a child was found on a street, crushed to the ground while walking calmly.
"These are not regular burials"
wrote archaeologist John Marshall
"but likely the result of a tragedy whose exact nature will never be known."
An incursion of enemies is excluded, because the bodies show no stab wounds. In return, as the Indian anthropologist Guha wrote
"signs of calcination are found on some of the skeletons. It is difficult to explain this calcination...".
Especially since the calcined skeletons seem better preserved than the others.
