A theo- ry was advanced by American space con- sultant Pat Frank, to the effect that some of the huge craters on the Earth may be scars from ancient nuclear explosions!” The echoes of ancient atomic warfare in southern Asia continue to this day, with India and Pakistan currently threatening each other. Modern India is proud of its nukes, likening them to "Rama's Arrow". Similarly, Pakistan would love to use its Islamic atomic bombs on India. Ironically, Kashmir, possibly the site of an earlier atomic war, is the focus of this conflict. Will the past repeat itself in Pakistan and India? There is always the possibility that this has all happened before. Déja vu! oo impression of explosive annihilation." Was Parshaspur destroyed by some fantastic weapon during one of the horrendous battles detailed in the Mahabharata? Another curious sign of an ancient nuclear war in India is a giant crater near Bombay. The nearly circular 2,154-metre- diameter Lonar crater, located 400 kilome- tres northeast of Bombay and aged at less than 50,000 years old, could be related to nuclear warfare of antiquity. No trace of any meteoric material, etc., has been found at the site or in the vicinity, and this is the world's only known "impact" crater in basalt. Indications of great shock (from a pressure exceeding 600,000 atmospheres) and intense, abrupt heat (indicated by basalt glass spherules) can be ascertained from the site. Orthodoxy cannot, of course, concede nuclear possibilities for such craters, even in the absence of any material meteorite or related evidence. If such geologically recent craters as the Lonar are of meteoric origin, then why don't such tremendous meteorites fall today? The Earth's atmos- phere 50,000 years ago probably was not About the Author: David Hatcher Childress is an explorer, publisher and author of more than 15 books on lost civili- sations and science as well as on free energy, antigravity and UFOs.
