The modified 3067BCE war proposal is reproducible and therefore scientific. In addition, this theory is the only one to verify all four timelines of the war (including the diplomatic mission of peace timeline, Balarama’s pilgrimage timeline, war timeline and Bhisma’s moksha timeline). It also verifies the astronomy prevalent at the time of Karna’s death and the Tri-Pushya theory with Moonphases. It makes correct use of the Arundhati Vasistha observation as an omen. It is the only 3K date to be independent of Kali Yuga (all other 3K dates state that the date of Kali Yuga must coincide with the departure of Sri Krishna. 3067BCE is unique in the sense that it does not need to rely on a Mahabharata war proposal at or around 36 years before the advent of Kali Yuga.
A meticulously researched and thought-provoking read. The author brilliantly corroborates textual astronomical references using modern astronomy software to present a compelling case for dating the Mahabharata War to 3067 BCE.
What makes this book stand out is its scientific rigor without losing the soul of the epic. The celestial references from the Mahabharata are analyzed with clarity, and the use of software like JHora and CyberSky to reconstruct the skies of that era is nothing short of fascinating. After reading the works of various authors on this topic, I can now confidently say that 3067 BCE stands out as the most legitimate and scientifically backed date for the Mahabharata war.
Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious about India's civilizational past, this book will challenge you to rethink timelines and approach epics through an astronomical lens. A must-read for history buffs, astronomy lovers, and seekers of truth alike!
Dr. Manish Pandit has done an amazing job by writing a fascinating deep dive into one of India’s greatest epics through the lens of astronomy. What really impressed me is how he takes the sky references from the Mahabharata and uses modern tools like JHora and CyberSky to recreate how the heavens looked thousands of years ago — and it all lines up incredibly well with the date 3067 BCE.
It’s definitely a dense read in parts, especially if you're not familiar with astronomy, but the scientific approach combined with respect for the epic makes it worth the effort. Whether you're a history nerd, an epic enthusiast, or just someone curious about ancient timelines, this book gives you a lot to think about!
This book offers a fresh and convincing take on the dating of the Mahabharata War, placing it around 3067 BCE using astronomical data. The author skillfully connects epic references with sky simulations, making a complex topic easy to grasp. It's one of the few works that combines scientific analysis with respect for the tradition. A rewarding read for anyone interested in ancient history and astronomy!!!
Very good insights on the dating of Mahabharat & Gautam Buddha. It's a technically heavy book & I've skimmed most parts on the first read. Will come back to it later when I have a better understanding of astronomy.
Dr. Pandit has done a herculean task of dating the great epic. his research includes superb dating where he amazingly fits stringent timelines like Bhishma moksha, Tri pushya time lines... He has debunked numerous theories by presenting his fitting timeline .. A must read
