>>10730048I believe the Mahabharata describes many things we should take more literally, ancient nuclear war being one of them. Here is a direct translation of one of the nuclear events, its much more detailed the the watered down bible shit.
“…(the weapon 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 splendor…
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 unrecognizable.
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…”
