The next legend is taken from the Mahabharata, but first I would like to quote an article from Nexus magazine entitled The Evidence for Ancient Atomic Warfare.

Quote
The ancient Indian epics describe a series of
horrific wars - wars which could have been fought between
ancient India and Atlantis, or perhaps a third party in the
Gobi region of western China. The Mahabharata and the
Drona Parva speak of the war and of the weapons used: great
fireballs that could destroy a whole city; "Kapila's
Glance", which could burn 50,000 men to ashes in seconds;
and flying spears that could ruin whole "cities full of
forts".

This seems to be the same story yet again.

Now for the actual account.

Quote
"Gurkha, flying a swift and powerful vimana ( hurled a single projectile charged with the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame, as bright as ten thousand suns, rose with all its splendor. It was an unknown weapon, 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. 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."


The Ramayana also speaks of this, but I seem to have misplaced that article so I’ll have to post it later.

What I’m trying to get at is the fact that this ancient war is mentioned all over the globe, in ancient myths and legends.   This leads me to believe that there has to be something to it, even though the stories are slightly different and molded around mystical and cultural beliefs, the event is real, there was a war that was catastrophic, there seems to be no doubt about that.
