archaeoastronomical dating of mahabharata by r.n.iyengar, 2003, ijhs
DESCRIPTION
This paper investigates the internal consistency of the eclipse statements and planetary positions given in the Great Epic. Searching the period 500-3000BCE provides only 1493-1443 BCE as the most likely period to which the astronomical observations belong. Historicity of the sky observations indirectly upholds the historicity of story line of the epic.TRANSCRIPT
