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.
