    This takes it to 2000BC...I though they were older than that?


    If I can stop one heart from breaking,I shall not live in vain;
    If I can ease one life the aching,Or cool one pain,
    Or help one fainting robin, Into his nest again,
    I shall not live in vain.
    Emily Dickinson

    Oh there are tonnes of dates of MBh. Vartak and Kak have given their dates too. We have anywhere from 1500BC to 5000+BC.

    Even if one considers the most conservative dates - circa 1500BC, it makes Vedic Age older than what the main stream (a.k.a Western Scholars) believe.

    It was a day 15the Sep B.C.3139, a full Moon day where a Lunar Eclipse took place, followed by Solar Eclipse on 28th Sep 3139 B.C(On a No Moon Day).(There was a comet that appeared in the same year)

    Like the present 2009 and 2010 ( A Lunar Eclipse was on 31.12.2009 and 15th Jan 2010 a Solar Eclipse.) But the Eclipse on Mahabharatha Period occured on North Pole side, where as the present one occurs on South Pole.

    On that day of 28th Sep 3139 B.c., a sacrifice was given before the commencement of war, (Probably, it was the day when Geethopadesam, Chanting of Geetha was given on the day of No Moon day, is celebrated as Deepavali.)and the war started. The Great war ended on 15th Nov 3139 B.C.(Probably, it was the day when Geethopadesam, Chanting of Geetha was given on the day of No Moon day, is celebrated as Deepavali.)
