Question – 115

What is the scientific proof for the comet-hit in 3136 BCE (before the Mahabharata war)?

Answer:

A cosmic impact must/will/is always FOLLOWED by a sharp decrease in global temperatures, and then the rebound to higher temperatures compared to the impact date. All meteor impacts have three common features. All these are present in the year 3136 BCE when an extra-terrestrial impact is indicated through several ways in the Mahabharata. If one of those major features is missing, then the impact is in doubt and needs further study. The must-be-present features are listed as follows:

·       To recognize a hint of the occurrence, there should be documentation; Hastinapura event is documented.

·       Next step is to check the proxy "rapid temperature drop in GISP2” There is the small peak and temperature drop at 3136 BC, after the Piora-Andaman event at 3210 BCE.

·       The age calibration known as IntCal13 must be checked. The meteor/fragments entering the Earth atmosphere, at 2000-3000 C, produce different radioactive substances, such as 10-B (radioactive Beryllium) and 14-C with the longest life for detection, in plant uptake of CO2 through trees. The increased 14-C-content in the air is demonstrated in IntCal13, by sharp descent from peaks. IntCal13 covers tree trunk 14-C on a global scale.

The IntCal13 shows four Piora 14-C peaks, all with a sharp drop. The sharp drop indicates that the 14-C from the impact event still lingers on. Of the four peaks of Piora Oscillation, only 3136 BCE event has not been historically identified so far. The Hastinapura event fills the unidentified location in the year 3136 BCE. The four dates and the locations are,

1.         Andaman Sea 3210 BC

2.         Hastinapura 3136 BC

3.         Morasko 3040 BC

4.         Burckle 2920 BC

As far as the Hastinapura events is concerned,

1. The historical narrative clearly shows typical impact features.

2. The temperature drop in the GISP2 graph starts with the exact date 3,136 BC.

3. The IntCal13 has the typical 14-C peak with a calibration drop steeper than the regular diagonal.

Concerning 3136 BCE event identified in the GISP2 graph, no alternate theory is convincing. For example, the solar blast event as the cause for high 14-C at 3136 BC cannot explain why there was a temperature drop. A solar event increases the temperature and does not reduce the temperature. Only meteor showers produce both high 14-C and a temperature drop together.

Rapid temperature-drop in 3136 BCE

This event written in the Mahabharata is going become the focus of attention of climate and meteor scientists of the world. The 13^th tithi Amavasya and the delayed Uttarayaṇa offer fresh insights on orbital disturbance of the moon and the earth besides the change in the appearance of the sky. Mahabharata is the only documented evidence of a meteor-hit in a remote past.
