Pre-historic India was ultra Modern

History is more or less bunk, felt Henry Ford. Those who cannot remember the Past are condemned to repeat it, prophesized George Santayana

. We cannot retreat from the search for knowledge or new explanation- either in this world or beyond. As a species, we are approaching maturity. Are we? People are unwilling to confront mysteries which cannot be eventually explained or incapable of theoretical explanation in terms that they can understand. It’s more spiritually comforting to be able to recognize what we may face on the perimeter of the physical World than to face an unknown threat. If the Phenomenon cannot be explained, the best response is to ignore it- a more reassuring course of action, and, in a way, more innocent. The only explanation we believe is no explanation! Ancient records, there is reference to the reign of Gods, before the First dynast, a time of superior civilization and miraculous powers shared in memory and records of the most ancient World Cultures, considerably antedating Greece and Rome, possessed Knowledge of astronomy, advanced Mathematics, the calculation of time and the measurements of the Earth and Solar System, thousands of Years before these same facts were described or re-established in modern History. To have come by this information, the ancient Culture or Cultures would have to have had telescopes, other sophisticated instruments sufficiently precise as to make the extant calculations. The cyclic theory of Civilization, prevalent in the ancient World and still, to a certain extent in Asia, is in marked contrast a ‘Progress Theory of our own Culture’, with its pre-occupation with the passage and pressure of time, and the constly forward march of Civilization and Scientific development. As our own knowledge increases, however, we may find that what was suspected by observers in antiquity will be shown to have eventually transpired. World catastrophes and destruction of entire Civilizations may have previously resulted from a variety of causes, several of which face us today, however, resolutely we may refuse to contemplate them. Outstanding among these is the question of Overpopulation, atomic tests, nuclear waste, environmental pollution of air, water, imbalances of ecology, etc. Effect of a man-inspired melting of the Polar ice together with tidal waves and flooding of sea-coasts throughout the World is reminiscent of what we now consider to be the far from legendry Flood of pre-history which covered surface lands. Spillage of Oil would cause large-scale melting of Polar ice. Extinction of so many species of animal life will predate the human species elimination in its totality! We find mention in the records of antiquity in Mahabharata that the sub continent suffered from strangling overpopulation. Ancient religious legends of India betel nine crisis of the modern World. The earth is strewn with works of pre-historic engineering connected with the use of Polar magnetism. Within the ruins of an ancient structure whose vast size has hitherto rendered it invisible- linking together the great stone remains of pre-history still standing on the Plains, mountain deserts, in the jungles and under the Seas of the World. That defies the Laws of Science- we do not understand today- the stresses and pulls that represent the hidden forces of the Earth, Planets, Sun, Moon and the Stars! That a knowledge of spherical trigonometry and the use of geodetic instruments of excellent precision, and the possibility that they were originally plotted during a period approximately 8,000 to 10,000 years ago , many many centuries before our own recorded History, show that they knew all that we are presently inventing and discovering! Einstein’s space-time continuum, Newton’s theory of Gravity and Laws of Motion were known to them. Subjects discovered in Mahabharata, Ramayana, Samaraganasutradhara, Vaisesika School of Science Philosophers of anicient India, and other well-known Indian Philosophical books contain unexpected reference descriptions in complete detail on atomic warfare. These precious works which escaped destruction and burning covered subjects such as

relativity of time and space, cosmic rays, the law of gravity, radiation, the kinetic nature of energy, atomic theory, etc. These scientists knew that earth was spinning on its own axis

. They not only knew the shape of the earth, but its rotation itself. These Scientists have also recorded that atoms were in incessant motion. They subdivided the measure of time into a series of incredible fractions of seconds, the most infinitesimal being considered as the period taken by an atom to traverse its own unit of Space. Their knowledge of airships, enemy aircraft, tow-storey sky chariots, modern weaponry, artillery, rockets, agneyastras (cylindrical cannons) depicted that they were well versed in the modern type of war fare. They also knew how to release fog dart dense camouflage, use of different kinds of artillery, bullets of iron, lead shots, explosives of saltpeter, Sulphur, Charcoal, rocket bombs, etc. Ramayana describes travel by Vimanas describing the aerial view, which are precise and balancing view of part of Srilankan and Indian Coast. There were cresting and vanishing waves of Civilizations. Scientifically advanced civilizations have vanished leaving no trace except in legend. It may presently be a preserved memory but references of the Past describe a Pre-historic scientifically advanced civilization which brought about their own downfall!
