The Year of the Mahabharata

Thomas Kuttical

For years, people have believed in the divinity of Sree Krishna. But

scholars questioned whether Krishna was a historical or mythical

character and whether the Mahabharath was actually fought.

 

According to Dr R N Iyengar, of the Indian Institute of Science,

Bangalore, we now have an answer. Using modern scientific tools and

techniques like computers with planetarium software, the latest

archaeological and marine archaeological techniques, earth-sensing

satellite photography and thermo-luminescence dating methods,

scientists have come to the conclusion that Mahabharath War was

actually fought in 1478 BC and Sree Krishna's Dwarka City got

submerged under the sea in 1443 BC.
