top layer of a superficial deposit suggests that it is not of great antiquity from the geological point
of view. On the other hand, it has clearly been there since prehistoric times.”
Or could it be entirely more plausible to assume that the vitrified desert is actually the result of
a war fought sometime in the ancient past using atomic, fusion or plasma weapons? The idea
gathers even more weight as we begin to examine further evidence.
The Radioactive Skeletons of India
Exhibit C can be seen in a totally baffling discovery that was made by a soviet archeological
team investigating the ancient sites of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro in India. When the scientists
had excavated far enough to reach the street level of the Mohenjo-Daro complex (fig.149) they
were surprised to discover a great number of skeletons lying unburied in the streets of the town
and sprawled out as though they had suddenly be caught in some great disaster. Not unlike those
caught in the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius that were found at Pompei, many of the Harappa and
Mohenjo-Daro skeletons were of people holding hands or walking down the street. It appears that
many of them had just been going about their daily business at the time of death (fig.150).
Evidence shows that the settlements of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro were wiped out entirely.
The walls of Mohenjo-Daro also bear signs of vitrification and since there is no evidence of any
volcanic activity in the area or any signs of an impact crater the question again arises:
To what can we attribute this type of mass death and vitrification of stone?
Fig.149The skeletons at these sites are estimated to be thousands of years old, even by traditional
archeological dating standards and what initially puzzled scientists was that firstly; the remains
showed no obvious signs of trauma or violence that could be attributed as a cause of death and
secondly; if the bodies had just been left lying in the streets, then why were they in such good
condition? Why hadn’t they been devoured, or at least mutilated by wild animals? How could it
be that these bodies had just been left here; alone and completely untouched long enough to be
covered by the dusts of time?
However, further investigation revealed an even more startling discovery: The Harappa and
Mohenjo-Daro skeletons are also among the most radioactive remains ever found, revealing
radiation levels equal to those that have been recorded in corpses that were recovered from
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At one particular site the Soviet scientists recorded radiation levels
from one corpse that were over 50 times greater than normal. Again, a nuclear or atomic war in
ancient times would adequately account for such high radiation levels.
