The problem with that argument is that you are confusing the
Mahabharata, Krishna, Arjuna, etc., with the Ramayana. It is in the
latter that the flying machines, etc., are referred to. This refers
to a war which was presumably fought on a land mass south of present
day India which is now submerged and which included the present
island of Sri Lanka (Ceylon.) As HPB says in the SD (I have
confirmed this from Indian sources) this land mass extended from
Madagascar to Australia and incorporated the southern tip of India.
I have a map here loaded with place names, names of rivers, etc. The
Indians say the war there was fought some 25,000 years ago and that
the area is now underwater except for Ceylon, along with its presumed
warplanes, scientific laboratories, etc. HPB claimed it had a name
which she refused to give but it is well known in India. It is
called Tamil Nadu and has at least one other name which escapes me at
the momentum.
So if the flying machines were real (they are amazingly prophetic if
they were not) they are lying under water and silt in the Indian
ocean. It is not credible to me that a war fought with such advanced
weapons could have lasted 60,000 years. It is also unlikely that we
couldpinpoint the date at which such an ancient event did occur with
any accuracy at all. It also should be pointed out that Brigitte
Muehlegger (aka Brian Muehlbach, etc.) claimed the whole story was a
fraud concocted by the British, although I am not at all familiar
with the evidence to support that view.
It is entirely credible that an ancient atomic war could have been
followed by wars with more primitive weapons, just as WW4 will be
fought with sticks and stones after we fight WW3, or so said Einstein.
Anyway, as for Mars, it is more practical to note the recurrence of
similar Martial events in the life of the same entity every 18 1/2
years (such as the three space disasters at NASA) than trying to work
out such a lengthy cycle with no facts, no reliable dates, and no
model for predicting what one would see. Theredoes seem to be a
periodicity there, but establishing itbeyonf the historical periodd
is more speculation than anything else. It is fascinating, though.
