The truth about the Death Mound Explosion in ancient India 4,000 years ago?

About 3,600 years ago, a mysterious explosion ripped through the ancient Indian city of Mohhenzo Daro.

In many legends of ancient India, explosions are seen as punishment from the gods.

However, as archaeologists investigate further, the explosion was not as simple as expected.

Themystery of the Death Mound explosion

Mohhenzo Daro was an ancient Indian city located in the Indus Valley of present-day Pakistan, which of course had another creepy name - Dead Hill.

The ruins of Dead Mound cover an area of eight square kilometers, which may be no bigger than an open-pit coal mine today, but this is an ancient city 4,000 years ago, which would have been a large city in ancient India.

Yet it was such a large city that mysteriously disappeared some 3,600 years ago, and legends elsewhere in India seem to suggest the end of Dead Hill.

In ancient Indian legend, there was an explosion at Mohinjo Daro, smoke swept over the city, flames lit up the sky, and everyone prayed in flames.

Since then, this place has disappeared from the maps of ancient India, leaving only its name "Dead Hill," the Land of the Dead.

When archaeologists brought it back to light in 1922, they saw remains after remains.

Floods, fires and volcanic eruptions are normal in ancient times, but an explosion, let alone one 3600 years ago, is particularly puzzling.

At this time there was no gunpowder, still less dynamite, and one could not imagine anything that could have caused a great explosion so early.

According to the traces found by archaeologists at the Dead Mound site, the city was surrounded by fire at 1400 to 1500 degrees Celsius.

That's close to the temperature of a forest fire. However, Mohhenzo Daro is located on an alluvial island in the Indus Valley, and there is no dense forest to provide the so-called burning material.

Combining the Indus Valley environment, archaeologists have come up with several theories for the Dead mound explosion.

The cause of the explosion is suspected

Given the climate in South Asia, the explosion may have been caused by lightning.

Because lightning is essentially an explosion that occurs naturally in the air, the thunder we hear is actually an explosion.

We often say that dry air does not conduct electricity, but wet air does, only with a very high resistance.

The voltage at which lightning is generated is so high that it can Pierce the air.

When a strong electric current passes through the moist air, it releases a lot of energy. If the energy hits something else, it can cause a flash of fire. For example, lightning strikes a tree, and a bolt of lightning can split a tree in two.

The Indus Valley is located at the foot of the Himalayas, and the convection between the monsoon from the Indian Ocean and the cold air from the Tibetan Plateau produces a lot of rain, accompanied by lightning.

Perhaps in ancient India, a huge lightning bolt just happened to strike Mohenzo Daro, causing an explosion.

This is all from a natural point of view, of course archaeologists will also guess from a human point of view.

A foreign invasion, for example, caused Mohenjoi Daro to be incinerated by a fire.

This is certainly true in history, as the Aryans began to enter the Indus Valley around 2000 BC, with a major invasion of ancient India taking place around 1500 BC.

The Death Mound explosion occurred 3,600 years ago, coinciding with the Aryan invasion.

So archaeologists think that maybe the disaster of Dead Hill was not an explosion, but a war, because war was so terrible that it became a terrible explosion later on.

But in the ruins of Mohenjo-Daro, there are no traces of war, suggesting that the city was not invaded by the Aryans.

The decision was made to start with the Dead Hill remains and analyze their deaths to find out what happened.

This does not check do not know a check to frighten a jump, the remains of the dead mound, actually found nuclear radiation!

That means the explosion at Death Mound 3,600 years ago was a nuclear explosion!

The first nuclear explosion in human history occurred in 1945. Gunpowder was not even invented 3600 years ago.

But the autopsy report makes the already mysterious Death Mound situation even more elusive.

Man-made nuclear did not exist at that time, so the radiation could have come from space.

Perhaps a meteorite hit what was then Mohounzo Daro, and it was also seen in other cities in ancient India, hence the legend.

And meteorites are precursors to asteroids or rocks in space, which naturally carry radiation.

However, there is a very visual evidence of a meteorite impact, and that is the crater, the dead mound site does not show any evidence of impact.

There's no way the storm produced radiation, there's no sign of war in the city, the radiation didn't come from an extraterrestrial meteor, so the blast points directly to a mysterious alien character.

Top three explosive mysteries of the world

There have been three explosions in human history that have always been mysterious. They are the Dead Mound explosion, the Tunguska Explosion and the Apocalypse explosion.

These three explosions occurred in an ancient time before explosives and atomic bombs, but the consequences were comparable to nuclear explosions.

For example, the Tunguska explosion directly destroyed more than 2,000 square kilometers of forest nearby.

Because the Tunguska explosion took place in 1908, just over 100 years from now, it was observed from many places.

A flash of fire was seen falling from the sky, cutting through the sky and crashing into the Tunguska River.

It looks like a meteorite impact, and it left a crater.

But in 1927, a Soviet geological expedition examined the Tunguska blast zone and found no evidence of meteorites.

The rocks from the Tunguska blast site showed no obvious difference in composition from those from elsewhere in the Tunguska River basin, but they were contaminated with radiation.

In this sense, the impact was not as simple as people thought. The culprit left behind a crater and radiation, but nothing else.

Many people believe that unexplained phenomena in human history are due to the lack of records. For example, the pyramids are suspected to be built by aliens, because the ancient Egyptians did not leave any records of the pyramids, including materials and working procedures.

There has never been any doubt that the Great Wall was built by aliens, as it is well documented in Chinese documents.

However, written records are not omnipotent. The Big Explosion of the Apocalypse has been recorded in great detail in historical books, but the specific reasons for its occurrence are still unknown to later generations.

The explosion is believed to have been caused by an accident in a gunpowder factory at the time. However, the power of gunpowder at the time was not capable of causing an explosion with a diameter of 750 meters, let alone covering an area of 2.23 square kilometers, which was more like a nuclear bomb explosion.

But where did the bomb come from during the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty?

Could it be someone crossing over? That's obviously impossible.

This explosion was recorded in official history, but still became the world's three unsolved explosive mysteries.

Strange phenomena on Earth

Our Earth is a very uncertain existence, because it is prone to unexpected disasters at times.

Many believe that unexplained catastrophes, such as the Death Mound explosion, may be the Earth's worst disaster in a million years.

The materials needed for a nuclear bomb explosion, such as uranium and plutonium, also exist in nature, so it cannot be ruled out that a nuclear explosion occurred under natural conditions, but the probability is very small.

Perhaps Death Mound is so "lucky", just met with a rare natural nuclear explosion.

Of course, most people would prefer to put these mysteries on the heads of aliens, who might actually be able to do what human technology can't.

We don't have the technology to some extent because we don't have the civilization level, but for aliens who can travel through space to Earth, these technologies are child's play.

After all, it's hard to think of anything but aliens that could have come up with a nuclear bomb 3,600 years ago.

The biggest unsolved mystery is the planet we live on, the universe we live in.
