Recently I read how in Mahabharata and Ramayana it was mentioned some weapon that is similar to Nuke. This is from the ancient Hindu text the Mahabharata.
“Gurkha, flying a swift and powerful vimana , hurled a single projectile charged with the power of the Universe (Nuke)
An incandescent column of smoke and flame, as bright as ten thousand suns,(Mushroom cloud) rose with all its splendour.
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; (That happened to people exposed to Radioactivity) Pottery broke without apparent cause, and the birds turned white.
…After a few hours all foodstuffs were infected…(Radioactivity) …to escape from this fire the soldiers threw themselves in streams to wash themselves and their equipment.” “Dense arrows of flame, like a great shower, issued forth upon creation, encompassing the enemy. A thick gloom swiftly settled upon the Pandava hosts. All points of the compass were lost in darkness. Fierce wind began to blow Clouds roared upward, showering dust and gravel.
Birds croaked madly… the very elements seemed disturbed. The sun seemed to waver in the heavens The earth shook, scorched by the terrible violent heat of this weapon.
Elephants burst into flame and ran to and fro in a frenzy… over a vast area, other animals crumpled to the ground and died. From all points of the compass the arrows of flame rained continuously and fiercely.” — The Mahabharata
”(It was a weapon) so powerful that it could destroy the earth in an instant– A great soaring sound in smoke and flames– And on it sits death…” . — The Ramayana
Also I heard that in Mohenjo Daro and Harappa (built in 2700 BC) was messured radioactivity and that they found bones of people in the streets in common position, siting, sleeping and so on.
This is interesting [link to en.wikipedia....darshana_Chakra] According to the Puranas, Sudarshana Chakra is used for the ultimate destruction of an enemy.
