The Gods of the Silver AgeGo to "L'âge d'argent" had an arsenal of weapons appalling and varied. You can recognize here what appears to be a nuclear bomb,Go to "Shiva fait la bombe" but the weapons mentioned here have not yet been reinvented by the Doctors Strangelove of our time. "The son of Drona, having established contact, discharged the Narayana." Thus is called the divine weapon. Immediately, there was an explosion of violent winds, torrential rain, terrifying thunders, earthquakes, tsunamis, "and the mountains cracked open. When the ray struck the warriors, they became transparent and disappeared." (source)Mahabharata, Drona Parva, quoted by Michel Bougard, La chronique des ovnis, p. 38

"A huge flaming projectile was launched. It burned with a smokeless fire. A deep darkness enveloped the troops and their weapons. A terrible wind started blowing, thick blood-colored clouds went down to ground level, the nature seemed mad and the sun rotated on itself. The enemies fell like charred twigs. The water of the rivers began to boil, all those who were trying to escape from there perished immediately. Atrociously burned, thousands of elephants and horses filled the air with their cries, as they ran terrified among the flames.

After all this terrible confusion, a cool strong breeze dissipated the smoke and cleared the skyline. Terrifying show! On the battlefield, burned by a terrible weapon which we had never heard of, thousands of dead were reduced to ashes. This powerful and terrible projectile was named Weapon of Agneya. It looked like a long sharp spindle and was put inside a large guidance tube, which range could be adjusted." (Mahabharata)

These lines, especially, show us the obvious fact: it is indeed a matter of arsenal in the modern sense of the word, with rockets and missiles, several kinds of bombs, tasers and laser guns , bombers, missile launchers, and perhaps also, tanks and other armored vehicles. In any case, there are quite realistic descriptions of fighting suits and helmets: "The warriors attached to super-weapons had very tight clothes or special tunics and they all wore on their heads helmets that leaned on the shoulders." (source)from the Ghatotrachabadma

The Egyptian high relief above, prior to 3500 BPBP means Before Present. 3500 BP corresponds to -1500 shows modern weapons, you can recognize here a helicopter, a jet fighter and another aircraft, very consistent with our current models. This fresco gave birth to a controversy of very bad faith.Go to "Les Egyptiens volants"

The ancient gods had terrible weapons, as shown by this text: "We saw something in the sky that looked like a scarlet cloud as the cruel flames of a burning fire. From this mass emerged a huge VimanaGo to "Rama airlines" painted in black that launched many blazing bullets; the sound it made by getting closer to the earth looked like that of a thousand drums rolling together. The Vimana approached the ground at incredible speed.

It was hurling weapons glittering like gold, thousands of lightnings accompanied by loud explosions and hundreds of wheels of fire; it was a frightful tumult, during which people saw fall the horses, war elephants and thousands of soldiers killed by the explosions. The routed army was pursued by the terrible Vimana until it was destroyed."  (source)Mahabharata

The above descriptions are eloquent: they look like modern weapons, such as that of the Egyptian high relief above.

Shells, missiles, hydrogen bomb, neutron bomb, fragmentation bomb, death ray, napalm, the gods had an impressive arsenal. Whether they call them weapon of Agneya, Narayana, or Pasupati, weapon of Shiva, the Thunder MastersGo to Les maîtres de la foudre were using several terrifying weapons, some even suggesting high power nuclear bombs. Is this one of those weapons which destroyed Atlantis? Has the great cataclysmGo to Le grand cataclysme been caused by men?

Let us note however that for the period described in the Mahabharata, ie the Dwapara Yuga or Bronze Age, these powerful weapons are exceptional. In ordinary fights, Krishna and Arjuna use swords and arrows. Rarely, they use a technology called divine, obvious legacy of the previous civilization. This suggests that the demigods of the Silver AgeGo to L'âge d'argent were great fans of rumble, like the heroes of the Bronze AgeGo to L'âge de bronze or the today men?Who belong to the Iron Age. Go to Eden 2, le retour Then to say that a mass destruction could have caused formerly a long and terrible nuclear winter, there is only one step.

Especially since this period has existed, the geologists call it the Würm-Wisconsin,Go to Les glaciers du Würm  or last ice age. Until the next one, always for the same reason? During the bronze age, these weapons are kept in a safe place, which is understandable if they have already ruined the Earth in the past. The heroes therefore only use knives. There is, however, stretches to the rules. For an exceptional beat up, the demigod RamaGo to India song goes to the ancient god Shiva, to borrow him the ultimate weapon, Pasupati. This weapon is not in possession of Rama or of Arjuna, the heroes of the Bronze Age. It remains the property of the gods of former ages, as Shiva.

These are indeed the gods of the golden age who have developed these lethal devices. Divine arsenals were constructed, so that only some selected people can access them, in serious cases, to find a quick solution to a major conflict. Little by little, a singular golden age emerges from the distant past. High-technology,Go to Les technopères superabundant energy, beings with huge powersGo to Nos pouvoirs perdus served by a human underclass.Go to Le mythe d'Eden The golden age,Go to L'âge d'or OK, but who will survive to enjoy it?
