"The Ancient City Which Was Destroyed By A Nuclear" Topic

…Blast 4,000 Years Ago

"The ancient city of Mohenjo-daro, located in present-day Pakistan, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most important archaeological sites in South Asia. However, what sets this site apart from others is the discovery of a layer of radioactive ash found in the ruins, indicating that the city was destroyed by a nuclear blast approximately 4,000 years ago…"

Yes heard about it in the 1960s during Sunday school. Sodom and Gomorrah were stated as being destroyed by a nuke.
Indian chronicles also talk about nukes

I'm always leery of an author who modestly identifies himself as "Avid Writer with invaluable knowledge of Humanity!"

"One of the pieces of evidence that supports the theory of a nuclear blast is the discovery of skeletons in the area that appear to have been killed instantly, with no signs of injury." Hmmmm!

" 'When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'."

Sherlock Holmes in 'The Sign of the Four,' by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Radioactive asteroid must likely.

Wow, nuclear blasts "kill people instantly with no signs of injuries", I didn't know that, I thought that the blast energy would cause tremendous trauma to skeletons, up to vaporizing them near the core of the explosion. This evidence is certainly enough to convince me that bronze age cultures could build nuclear weapons. I know, I'm being cynical, it was the aliens of course.

"…the discovery of a layer of radioactive ash found in the ruins…"

Due to poor disposal practices of radioactive medical waste IMO… ;-)

Chernobyl dust??

Ha!…

There isn't any radioactivity it's just a HR manager repeating Anicent Aliens nonsense

Is it possible that an airburst would cause the same effects? It seems that was the culprit behind the destruction of Sodom and the other Cities of the Plain.

An airburst might explain the trinitite and other 'weird' signs of destruction.

The ancient Indian epics describe all sorts of fascinating weapons and ships – I'm not sure what the answers are but it's an incredibly awesome rabbit hole to wander down if one has the time and patience.

Good point…

He's got a good point. It's not like there's any naturally occurring radioactivity anywhere … say the Khewra salt mines … in Pakistan.

All the ‘weird' stuff as been explained how do we have 15 foot mud brick walls if a nuke was involved
