Mahābhārata Retold with Scientific Evidences

Abstract

Entire ancient history, revealed through Vedas and Epics, is capable of being re-constructed scientifically with accuracy by making use of modern scientific tools and technologies, which include planetarium software. The astronomical references of Ṛgveda could be observed in the sky between 7000 BCE and 5000 BCE, whereas those of Rāmāyaṇa could be observed sequentially around 5100 BCE. The astronomical references of Mahābhārata pertain to the sky 
views observed sequentially between 3153 BCE and 3102 BCE. For arriving at these dates, this paper has adopted certain approach and methodology.
