Something very strange happened in the distant past.
The biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah is a fascinating tale which tells of two cities destroyed in what could be interpreted as a 'nuclear event', now whether or not that is true is open to speculation but there are certainly places that could potentially fit the bill when you consider the alleged destruction.
The bible states:
(Genesis 18:20; 19: 24-26.28)
24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus, he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
Ok, so put aside any religious beliefs you may have for a moment and think about the text. "The Lord rained down burning sulphur", what could that be in reality to cause that scale do destruction? Some kind of weapon? Missiles or bombs? Think about that we'll come back to it shortly.
I do not personally subscribe to any religion but that doesn't mean I have no interest in the Holy books and scriptures. In Fact the opposite is true, as far as I'm concerned they are historical accounts of the distant past that in many cases have been misinterpreted. There is an assumption by most scholars that our current paradigm is the most advanced that has ever existed on this planet, I don't subscribe to that assumption.
Looking at the events written in the Bible, Torah, Koran, Popul vuh, the Veda's and other religious works with a modern perspective is interesting.
I don't dismiss any religion or faith as that would be ignorant, faith is personal.
Getting back to the the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
I've always been fascinated by this story as it was one recounted to me as a child as a way of (I assume) of helping me understand that living a non virtuous life had consequences. It failed in that respect as we all have to make our mistakes as those who came before us however the account of horrific destruction always intrigued me.
That was some cataclysmic destruction recounted right there!
Which segways nicely to Mohenjo-daro.
Mohenojo-daro is situated in the province of Sindh in modern day Pakistan and the name translates to 'Mound of the Dead Men'. The city was part of the Harrapan civilisation, was built around 2500BC and was rediscovered in the 1920's. The other major city is this particular civilisation was Harrapa, but in this post I am going to focus solely on Mohenjo-daro.
Interesting but not really anything out of the ordinary you may say, but wait there is a lot more to this story than a city lost in time.
Mohenjo-daro may have been destroyed by an atomic powered weapon!
Don't leave, I'm not insane honest. Stick around it's an interesting story.
The following article from Ancient-Origins titled The Mohenjo-daro 'Massacre' is very interesting as it not only explains what mainstream archeaologists have concluded but delves into the radiation anomalies found at the site. Something very different to what we're being told happened here occurred all those centuries ago.
Evidence of Atomic War?
There exist a growing number of ‘alternative archaeologists’ and researchers who have not settled for theories that do not satisfactorily explain the conditions of the skeletal remains and who have sought other explanations. One such individual is David Davenport, British Indian researcher, who spent 12 years studying ancient Hindu scripts and evidence at the site where the great city once stood. In his book Atomic Destruction in 2000 B.C. he reveals some startling findings: the objects found at the site appeared to be fused, glassified by a heat as high as 1500°C, followed by a sudden cooling. Within the city itself there appeared to be an ‘epicentre’ about 50 yards wide within which everything was crystallized, fused or melted, and sixty yards from the center the bricks are melted on one side indicating a blast. A. Gorbovsky in his book Riddles of Ancient History , reported the discovery of at least one human skeleton in the area with a level of radioactivity approximately 50 times greater than it should have been due to natural radiation. Davenport claimed that what was found at Mohenjo Daro corresponded exactly to what was seen at Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
That is obviously not the only source of this information, this artcle called........
Atomic Bomb Destroyed City 4000 Years Ago explains how the site has evidence of an horrific cataclysm scientifically difficult to explain other than through a blast of atomic proportions and how the evidence at the site links to the ancient histories written and guarded by Indian scholars in the Mahabharata .
What was found at the site of Mohenjo Daro corresponds exactly to Nagasaki, declared Davenport, who published his startling findings in an amazing book, "Atomic Destruction in 2000 B.C.", Milan, Italy, 1979.
There was an epicenter about 50 yards wide where everything was crystallized, fused or melted, he said.
Sixty yards from the center the bricks are melted on one side indicating a blast. the horrible, mysterious event of 4,000 years ago that leveled Mohenjo Daro was recorded in an old Hindu manuscript called the Mahabharata, which has been guarded by holy men for centuries:
White hot smoke that was a thousand times brighter than the sun rose in infinite brilliance and reduced the city to ashes, the account reads. Water boiled...horses and war chariots were burned by the thousands.. . the corpses of the fallen were mutilated by the terrible heat so that they no longer looked like human beings...
The description concludes:
it was a terrible sight to see ... never before have we seen such a ghastly weapon.
A ghastly weapon!.
What could it have been? The ancient writings of the Mahabharta speak of the Gods using futuristic weapons and using flying machines called Vimanas. Were they recording what they saw or just making up unbelievably accurate depictions of the future?
Below is another snippet of an article by Phillip Coppins on the subject and another quote from the Marabharta.
With the apparent discovery of this radiated area, parallels were quickly drawn to the Mahabharata, the Indian epic, which indeed speak of doom and destruction. It reads:
... (it was) 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...
...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.
Whereas the story of the Mahabharata is indirect evidence, the archaeological discoveries in India pose serious problems for those trying to deny the possibility that this might indeed be evidence of ancient atomic warfare. Whereas believing in the existence of Atlantis or a highly advanced civilisation that might not have left any trace is one thing, to suggest that our ancestors might have wiped themselves out along the same lines we were in fear of accomplishing during the latter half of the 20th century is a major paradigm shift.
They even described weapons in incredible detail, they were called Brahmastra take a look, they sound eerily like modern day weapons.
And the depictions of the battles are so incredible it's hard to believe a culture from so far back in antiquity could just make it all up without inspiration.
Battles taking place in the sky, flying palaces, futuristic rocket type weapons, an ancient city destroyed by something that created temperatures in excess of 1500°C, what was going on to prompt these stories or histories as the Hindu scholars proclaim them to be?
As I stated in Part 1 of this series The lost city of Dwarka. western academia has a frustratingly arrogant attitude when it comes to the locally written accounts of the history of the Indian sub-continent, who better to record the events than the people themselves.
In the case of Dwarka you had a 'mythical city' written about in these very same scriptures dismissed as fantasy that turned out to be real, is it so hard to believe that some of the other accounts are true a also?
I'm not saying these stories are true verbatim however the circumstantial evidence suggesting something extraordinary happened at Mohenjo-daro is compelling, add to that the incredibly descriptive accounts of alleged events and you have what I think is a very good reason to seriously look at these historical accounts in a whole different light.
@tremendospercy loving this work dude! I must say from all the research I've done and the different angles I've looked at, I also believe we have been here before, perhaps multiple times. Four times if you go by the understanding of the precession of the equinoxes, the first time was the garden of Eden and mankinds fall from grace.
until the wise
step forward and
in the sand
draw a line
There is a truth written within all these accounts and perhaps that's why it's so denigrated by western scholars. For me it's easy to comprehend that following some huge disaster or war the sea of time will wash away the age of man and without written records history will fade into myth and stories. Imagine what a few thousand years would do the world we now inhabit? we've only been industrialised for 100 years or so! Perhaps the lesson is not to let technology overtake understanding, reason, love and compassion. This series has really captured my imagination and got me thinking. I'm really looking forward to part 3. Excellent work, thanks for sharing.
Thanks my friend,
You are absolutely right regarding the progression of the equinoxes and there is so much evidence (regardless of what academia say) of seriously ancient highly evolved civilisations the world over.
The sands of time are are destructive force and all that is left are the edifices hewn from rock. I will lay our more evidence of their existence in future posts as some is irrefutable when you consider the currents beliefs regarding the alleged technical and engineering capabilities of the ancients.
A well thought out and intelligent comment as always dude.
you've probably heard about this one already, but if not check out this guy explaining the star alignments at the Nabta Playa complex in Egypt... the mind blowing part is the last bit about the significance of the distances to the long baseline megaliths...

Hi TP - I am absolutely loving these historical, mythological posts of yours. Drawing on the writings of archaeologists and religion - mate, I am just really proud of the quality of this work. AWESOME! SK.
We agree SirKnight! Tremendospercy has taken Steemit blogging to a whole new level.

Hey Buddy thanks for the kind words.
I've questioned the history we're taught for as long a I can remember. When you're lucky enough to travel extensively you never get the answers you seek just more questions!
The oldest cultures have the answers we just need to decipher them.
Cheers SK appreciate it.
Very interesting article my friend. You have done quite a nice research and its all adding up together to a great quality article. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Roberto, it's a fascinating subject.
One that has links to your country!
Oh really didn't know that. I know we have this huge round boulder which no one can really tell how were made.
Thank you very much Ser Percival. I'm learning so much from you, and these blogs. They're really cool!! xoxoxo Keep em coming!!
That's really lovely of you to say babe, the next one will be early next week.
YASSSSSS!!!!!!
I am totally open minded to anything at this stage. Flying Saucers, Flat Earth, Fake Moon Landings, Aliens living among us and everything else.
You cannot trust anything any longer, nothing you see, hear or read. What a world we're in
Obi One is our only hope.
I agree with all except flat earth, that stuff is just without validity.
You're right man, trust no one, verify everything.
Yer a gas man Mr. Retard
I'm only getting started weirdydeirdy. I'm so full of it I'm ticking. You ain't read nothing yet
Who can know what happened back then ? All we have are these ancient scriptures and dusty archaeological digs to give us an idea ?? Its sure for me that we are not at all informed on our past but then most people dont really care sadly as the only thing that concerns them is today and maybe....tomorrow even !! I am glad and happy to see that there are still people out there like you @tremendospercy that are asking questions and researching this !! upvoted fascinating post mate )
Thank you so much for the kind words buddy.
Man you are for sure a truth seeker I'm skeptical about almost everything st this point bring on the aliens! Lmao
Being skeptic all is a good thing, as long as you have an open mind and follow the evidence you can't go wrong.
Very interesting piece. Can't say I've ever heard of the lost city of Dwarka so I'm off to read the first part now.
Thanks for reading this, Dwarka is an amazing story.
I have often thought about the possibility that our modern views are skewed by our own logic. Being raised Christian early on, I was kind of wedged into a singular viewpoint, and with so many people having such a close-minded perspective I was forced to start thinking outside the box about religion.
Then, as I began to hear of lateral stories that seem to parallel the Biblical Stories, I really started questioning how accurate the Biblical stories were.
I completely agree with your view that the Biblical Stories are versions of Historical events. Taking it 1 step further than just those mentioned, the Geek and Roman Pantheon of Gods corresponds quite well to some of those older stories you mention.
Now, I don't really prescribe to the possibility of Nuclear Weapons so far in the past (mainly because there should still be some sort of evidence of manufacture... it would be hard to believe that such advanced civilizations would not have spread further out on the map).
It is interesting to think that Apollo/Zeus/God/Allah/whichever head honcho God you believe in as the supreme ruler was able to call "spears of lightning" or "columns of fire" aka "atomic eruptions" to defeat their enemies. I'm open-minded enough to consider these possibilities.
Thanks for a breath of fresh air.
I have many parts to this series in mind and hopefully a worldwide picture may start to evolve.
Our very distant past wasn't what they tell us, there is evidence from every continent of a pre-flood highly advanced civilisation.
I guess we'll never know all of our history but digging around is so interesting.
I would love to see evidence of advanced civilizations. I can't wait to see what you uncover.
Thanks.
I think Antarctica is probably the place to look for the answers. I believe there's things under the ice that the powers that be don't want us to know about. Some of the most powerful people on the planet have made visits down there, for unknown reasons.
Totally agree, I have a post in mind about the distant and recent history there.
There is actually an amazing amount of evidence that quite often gets ignored as it can't be catergorised by mainstream academia, I will definately showing some in this series.
Very Very interesting indeed. I don't believe in aliens, but I do certainly believe that ancient civilizations were much more advanced than we give them credit for.
It depends on your definition of aliens I guess. It makes me wonder how some people can believe in God and not aliens, what's the difference?
There is massive amounts of evidence of highly advanced civilisation in the very distant past that appeared out of thin air, no decendants, no evidence of evolution preceding them? Poof appeared out of nowhere and then poof, gone!
Good point. I don't believe in god either.
But your correct, they just pop up and disappear again, and we are only looking at 1 tiny fraction in time that we have been alive. I'm all about evidence based science.
The "longheads" of Peru are an interesting study in things that shouldn't exist, but do. They are humanoid, but not human like us.
Yes, any some of the skulls don't have a sagittal suture proving they couldn't be human.
This is a topic that really interests me actually. I'm not religious either myself but I find interpretations of the Bible very interesting because there could well be obscured truth in them.
I've also read the bible books removed from the later editions as they contradicted the church doctrine, truly amazing stuff. The Book of Enoch is a mind f*ck. Sorry for the language babe but it really is incredible.
Ah I haven't read those but my boyfriend has and it sounds crazy! I should read them it sounds really interesting.
There were plenty redacted by the early church at the Council of Nicea in 325AD, They were unearthed on copper scrolls in a cave in Qum'raan in the 1940's.
Real interesting stuff to read.
A lot to think about...I had no idea about the radiation levels, and I'm not sure something "natural" like a volcano would get to those levels - but I don't really know. Pompeii was pretty bad, I understand. Do you think a volcano is a possibility?
No volcanos in the area babe.
I always start looking at these things as an utter skeptic otherwise you fit evidence to your theory.
The Veda's are amazing scriptures, I didn't go that deep in this or the previous post. I'm just trying to introduce people to the history were not taught.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Wow, very interesting! I appreciate the "entry level" because I know very little about Hindu writings or history. :)
Whilst remaining open-minded on the possibility of ancient civilizations engaging in nuclear conflict, where is the supporting evidence?
Would an asteroid or meteorite impact not be more logical to explain the imagery of smoke, flame and thunderbolts from the sky? It would be interesting to know if there are any impact craters in the vicinity of Mohenjo-daro.
A plausible explanation for battles in the sky between warring Gods could be a meteor shower like the Perseid or Pleiades; and/or a major thunder and lightning storm.
Saying all that, you are absolutely spot on about the discovery of Dwarka... and let's not forget Troy either!
I'm pretty sure if it was a Astro event they would have written it as so, they were very savvy when it came to the workings of the cosmos. Worth taking a read of the scriptures as they were written as historical accounts of actual events. It seems to me that science wants to believe only the ones they currently understand and dismiss the ones they don't. There is a huge crater in the area around Mumbai which is not that far away.
As more myths are proven to be true the question has to be asked, are they all true?
I believe that a lot of evidence has been deliberately hidden from us to control the narrative, as well as deliberate destruction to wipe out evidence of our planets history that doesn't conform to current doctrines.
Just because we assume we're the most advanced civilisation that has ever occupied this planet doesn't make it so. Further posts will bring evidence of amazing technology created in the past that we have difficulty replicating even today.
Cheers for reading and commenting dude, watch this space.
i love the way that you dont subscribe to any religion yet still reading those ancient scripture. As you are looking to the truth rather then following the doctrine.
cheers, interesting article. And it makes me think would happen to those weapon user? are they just simply vanished?
The truth will do doubt be revealed at some point in the future and I'm pretty certain it will be even more incredible than even I can imagine. Thanks for reading and commenting buddy.

Upvoted bro
Cheers man
interesting article,,thnx.
Cheers for reading.
From what i have heard there are sister cities very near the location where sodom and gamorrah are supposed to be that are burned and all structures are ash with many traces of sulfer. Even pieces of sulfur brimstone balls have been recovered from the sight. I do not think there is any other book comparable to the Bible.
If you read the MahaBharata you will find that that the stories in the Bible generally do not compare with the profundity (and certainly not the breath) of the ancient Indian scriptures. I love the Bible and I am a devout Christian however I have also studied the Vedic writings and the noble truths in these writings are, at the very least, no less subtle and eternal as the Jewish and Christian truths. I have made a life-long study of ancient scriptures so I do not expect you would be familiar with the 18 major Puranas, the Upanishads, Vashista's Yoga, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and so on, but if you did, you would have a totally different point of view about whether there was "any other book comparable to the Bible."
Why the Bible its a reliable collection of documents, claims divine authorship not human origin. Written by eyewitnesses during life of other eyewitnesses. Supernatural events fulfilling specific prophecies. The whole Bible is about 1 GodMan.
You're out of your league partner. Although I certainly agree with you about the authorship of the Bible, you clearly have no understanding of ancient Indian "literature." The Good Lord did not suddenly appear to the Jews several thousand years ago and had paid no attention to the world before that. In particular, Jesus and his family were Essenes which means "outsider" in Hebrew. They were "outside" because thet remembered and taught Judaism how they learned it from their ancestors. They were part of what was called the "School of Virgin Knowledge." For all that has been forgotten or covered up there are certain clues who and what they were. For example (and this is just one), the whole business about the "star" and the three wise men tells us that the studied and practiced astrology. All astrology teaching comes from India. You may not like it but they did. Another example is even modern day Judaism teaches re-incarnation (check with the head rabbi of Israel if you don't believe me). Your very limited view of the world is showing. And for fun, if you would like a better education, try visiting Ista's Guha which is located about 12 miles up the Ganges river from Rishikesh in northern India. "Ista" is the Indian word for Jesus, "guha" is Sanskrit for "cave." There are some very nice people who will tell you all about Jesus's stay in the area. Good luck.
Thanks @tbd108 you saved me a massive reply.

You realize, of course, that I am now expecting you to write historical dystopian fiction about all this, right???
The thing is the truth is so much more interesting. And with the Hindu epic's never more so.
I love your series. You have such a thorough way of research and presentation. Thank you for all the information and thought provoking articles. ❤
Cheers babe, there is so much history that is hidden in plain sight because people don't know how to interpret it. I'm convinced that our distant ancestors witnessed incredible events involving futuristic technology they had no frame of reference to explain. Their description of events have been misinterpreted as fantasy. As more evidence comes out I hope that academia finally stops being so dogmatic and starts to follow the evidence to its conclusion rather than trying to make the evidence fit their flawed theories.
Cheers for reading and leaving such a nice comment.
Wow. I have been reading a lot about this type of thing lately....It makes sense if there was;
a.) Time travel---->Who knows what could have been taken back or sent forward and lost throughout the trips???
or
b.) We are not the most advanced beings that have inhabited the Earth.
I find solace in a little of both a and b, and feel that you are absolutely correct in the fact that the bible is interpreted wrong and has been altered throughout time to suit 'the powers that shouldn't be'.
<3
We are sooooo not the most advanced beings that have been here, in fact we're dumbed down morons compared to those who came before us, in extreme antiquity that is. Time travel?? Hmm not sure but it's an interesting thought.
Maybe inter dimensional travel. Thanks for popping in and commenting babe
