As noted above, 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 sec- onds; and flying spears that could ruin whole "cities full of forts". The Rama Empire was started by the Nagas (Naacals) who had come into India from Burma and ultimately from "the Motherland to the east"—or so Colonel James Churchward was told. After settling in the Deccan Plateau in northern India, they made their capital in the ancient city of Deccan, where the mod- ern city of Nagpur stands today. The empire of the Nagas apparently began to extend all over northern India to include the cities of Harappa, Mohenjo- Daro and Kot Diji (now in SCALES Pakistan), as well as Lothal, eed | Kalibanga, Mathura and possibly Sys other cities such as Benares, Ayodha and Pataliputra. s ; Map of the Citadel at Mohenjo-Daro in the Indus Valley These cities were led by "Great This advanced culture had its Teachers" or "Masters" who were own writing, which has never been deciphered.

A wonder to modern-day researchers, the cities were ighly developed and advanced. The way that each city was laid out in regular blocks, with streets crossing each other at right angles and the entire city laid out in sections, gives archaeologists cause to believe that the cities were conceived as a whole before they were built—a remarkable early exam- ple of city planning. Even more remarkable is that the plumb- ing/sewage systems throughout the large cities were so sophisti- cated—superior to those found in Pakistan, India and many Asian countries today. Sewers were covered, and most homes had private toilets and running water. Furthermore, the water NEXUS - 57 Map of the Citadel at Mohenjo-Daro in the Indus Valley OCTOBER — NOVEMBER 2000
