English researcher David William Davenport — along with many other scholarly authors — suggested that ancient epics like the Mahabharata or the Rigveda contain descriptions of advanced weapons akin to nuclear devices. These weapons, transported by flying vehicles called Vimana, purportedly wrought vast devastation and their effects are described with terminologies and scenarios incredibly similar to modern nuclear scenarios today.

In his book “2000 B.C. Atomic Destruction,” Davenport proposed a bold theory: he suggested that ancient Sanskrit texts serve as testimonies of encounters with extraterrestrial beings. These beings, wielding sophisticated technology, would have influenced earthly events, fought ferocious wars for the domain of lands and used powerful weapons that were ultimately responsible for the destruction of Mohenjo-Daro 4000 years ago.

David Davenport’s Quest: Unveiling The Enigma Of Mohenjo-Daro.

In the 1970s, forty centuries after the mysterious disappearance of Mohenjo-Daro, English researcher David William Davenport endeavored to shed light on the mysteries of these distant lands. He studied the oldest religious texts in history, striving to resurrect a culture that could be considered among the earliest cradles of humanity.

Davenport journeyed across India and Pakistan in search of evidence and clues about a city destroyed by a “divine” weapon, as described in the Mahabharata:

During his travels, he collected samples of rocks, pottery, bricks, and jewelry that appeared fused and vitrified, along with skeletons exhibiting signs of calcination as if exposed to intense heat. No natural event could account for such findings, and no human intervention could produce vitrification and calcification unless Mohenjo-Daro had indeed been the site of a powerful explosion over 4000 years ago.

The artifacts, analyzed by the CNR of Rome showed signs of vitrification caused by extreme heat, estimated at around 1500 degrees Celsius. This phenomenon, inexplicable by natural events or conventional weaponry of the time, supports the hypothesis of a catastrophic event of a different nature.

Such evidence directly correlates with the types of fused debris found at Mohenjo Daro and is associated with modern warfare technologies as well as the fusion residue caused by high-intensity explosions and the heat they generate.

We refer to “Trinitites,” stones that constitute the fused and vitrified residue originating from the first atomic tests conducted in 1945 in the United States. A comparison between the two types of fused rocks leaves one speechless. A parallel so evident that it necessarily legitimizes the question of what really happened at Mohenjo-daro 4000 years ago.

Further clues arose from the analysis of the charred ruins of Mohenjo-Daro, suggesting a high-altitude shockwave followed by sudden cooling, which is hypothetically correlated with an explosion of great power.

In short, despite attempts to find a rational explanation for these events, the extent of the debris and the mystery surrounding their formation left no alternative explanation.

In an effort to probe this mystery, other researchers conducted various on-site analyses over time, including environmental sampling for radioactivity but surveys conducted in different sectors of Mohenjo-Daro yielded entirely negative results; no traces of radioactivity were found at the site. Despite over 4000 years separating us from the atomic event theorized by Davenport, if it had indeed been a nuclear explosion, we should have found traces of contamination.

So, we had traces of a possible heat wave, but no traces of radioactivity, why?

Perhaps because it was an extremely powerful, yet non-radioactive weapon. An immensely potent explosion, but not nuclear.

Is this a plausible hypothesis?

Mohenjo Daro: Tejas Astras.

In Davenport’s writings emerges a fascinating narrative about the last days of Mohenjo-Daro, taken from the Ramayana, which could reveal the tragic events that led to its destruction.

It is told of the destruction of the Kingdom of Danda, identified with the legendary city of Lanka, located on an island in the course of the Indus River, in ancient Indian mythology.

According to the Ramayana, the destruction of Danda began with an act of violence by King Danda towards the daughter of a divine sage. In response, the god Indra unleashed his powerful weapon against Danda and its land, announcing a rain of dust that would wipe out all forms of life within seven days.

Although ancient Indian texts describe weapons whose effects closely resemble those of an atomic explosion, they specifically speak of ‘energy’ weapons, called “tejas Astras”, used by deities during their battles, with devastating effects similar to nuclear explosions, pushing the boundaries of our imagination.

For example, the description of the Agneya Astra, found in the ancient sacred texts of Hinduism, seems to faithfully mirror the effects described by Davenport: a weapon capable of generating extremely high heat, enough to melt rocks.

Davenport was convinced that the explanation should be sought in visits that, in antiquity, beings from other planets made to our species; other scholars, however, are inclined to believe that these events constitute the epilogue of a lost civilization, forgotten by history, whose memories have transformed into the epic sagas described in the Mahabharata.

While Davenport’s theory is bold and controversial, it raises questions that require further investigation. However, his research was prematurely halted, leaving many questions still unanswered.

“We beheld in the sky what appeared to us to be a mass of scarlet cloud resembling the fierce flames of a blazing fire. From that mass many blazing missiles flashed, and tremendous roars, like the noise of a thousand drums beaten at once. And from it fell many weapons winged with gold and thousands of thunderbolts, with loud explosions, and many hundreds of fiery wheels,” — The Mahabharata
