story of india (world?) contd..

There is a mention of ganesha (the elephant headed diety) who when he was once mocked by the moon cursed it to disappear (moonless night). But the pleading of the moon made him relent and he reduced his curse by producing the effect of waxing and waning of the moon. In the earlier blog we have seen the stories of the dashavataram with possible origins in the creation of the universe - this story might be one of the other celestials events recorded - namely the moving of the moon from the geo-synchronus orbit around the earth to the current satellite state.
Also in the ramayana - kumbakarnan is supposed to sleep for 6 months and awaken for 6 months - possibly so as he was a resident of one of the poles? This presupposes that people could move quickly in real time between srilanka and the poles to get him for the battle - again pointing towards a mode of transport quite advanced in its design and capability.
Additionaly there are innumerable references to scientific feats and the shape of the "lingam" is similar to that of an atomic reactor. What if humankind in the past had harnessed the power of the atom and the mahabarata war resulted in a nuclear holocaust and it has taken the earth a few million years to rejuvenate.
There is enough evidence of the use of scientific advancement at that time - rama after his victory over ravana "flew back" to ayodhya. the transfer of a foetus from one person to another (balaram), "beam me up scottie" to borrow a popular phrase (krishna's birth?), cloning (kauravas), fertility clinic (pandavas), cosmetic surgery (sishupala), female foeticide which meant MRI techniques (one woman - 5 husbands - common in rural north india today) - so on and so forth.
