Scientists have claimed that nuclear explosions destroyed Harappa, an archaeological site in Punjab Province of Pakistan, and Mohenjo-Daro, a major city of the Indus Valley Civilisation, thriving from approximately 2500 to 1700 BCE, thousands of years ago. Located in Larkana District of Pakistan’s Sindh Province, Mohenjo-Daro is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Billy Carson, an author, scientist and entrepreneur known for his work in alternative energy and space exploration, has claimed that Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were destroyed because of nuclear explosions around 3,700-4,500 years ago. He stressed that a thick layer of radioactive materials still lies over an area of 7.5sqkm, 16km west of Jodhpur in western Indian Province of Rajasthan.

The detection of radioactive materials prompted archaeologists to conduct research in specific areas of Sindh and Rajasthan. A section of researchers is of the opinion that most of the people who used to live in that particular area died of cancer. They have even claimed that the rate of healthy births was quite lower there.

The concerned authorities in Pakistan and India have cordoned off the area due to the high level of radioactivity. According to researchers, a nuclear explosion took place near Harappa and Mohenjo-daro around 4,500 years ago, killing thousands of people and destroying many buildings.

After studying the skeletons, some Russian scientists have found that those are thousands of years old. They have also detected the presence of radioactive materials in those skeletons. Surprisingly, the amount of radioactivity in the skeletons is 50 times higher than normal!

However, researchers are yet to explain how such a huge amount of radioactivity was possible at that period of time.

Koushik Das (born on May 16, 1976 in Kolkata) is a career journalist. Based in the Indian capital of New Delhi, Koushik writes mainly about foreign policies and current geopolitical issues, and rarely about other topics. His own political ideas are highly influenced by Antonio Gramsci, Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, Michael Oakeshott and others. English philosopher and political theorist Oakeshott (Dec 11, 1901-Dec 19, 1990) says that “in political activity, men sail a boundless and bottomless sea. There is neither harbour for shelter nor floor for anchorage, neither starting-place, nor appointed destination. But we have to keep afloat”. (Rationalism in Politics, 1962) As a student of Political Science, Koushik loves to share his views on issues, which have great impacts on his thought process (and also on India, South Asia and of course on the global community), with his readers through his website – Boundless Ocean of Politics. By doing so, he tries to keep himself afloat. You will find some of his articles in https://inserbia.info/today/ (https://inserbia.info/today/author/kou_das13_i/), as he has been trying to assess the global geopolitics since 2003.
