There are so many Indian scholars with so many different ideas. Ranging from 6-7000 BC till even 900 BC for the Mahabharata war. I was interested some time ago, but gave up out of sheer despair. Probably we'll never know... the age of Kali is already too far advanced, and that even after only a couple of thousands of years. Anyway, why don't you post the charts of Krishna and the main Pandavas on the list? I'd like to have a look.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Hi, Recently, Prof B N Achar, U Memphis, TN presented a paper on the same at WAVES conference held at UMass @ Dartmouth. Probably you can write to Prof Achar for the same paper. His fixation of MB War seems to be closer to 3067 BC, iirc. Some people are planning to arrange a conference on " Dating mahabhaarata " in Bangalore around December 2002. I am not sure about this. I will let you know the details in future, if they do so. Regards, VR PS: appended is the abstract of the above refered paper. " A Critical Examination of the Astronomical References in Mahabharata and Their Simulation by Planetarium Software. Dr. B. N. Narahari Achar Professor of Physics University of Memphis Memphis, TN 38152. Email: nachar The importance of determining the date of the Mahabharata War for ancient Indian chronology is too well understood to be mentioned. A number of authors have concentrated on the references to astronomical events such as eclipses found in the epic as a basis for determining the date of the war. However, it has not been possible to arrive at a definite date on the basis of astronomical references to eclipses only. The author has recently applied anew tool in the form of Planetarium Software to determine the date by simulating the astronomical events. It is the purpose of the paper to critically examine the astronomical references in the epic that have been considered in the simulations using this tool for the purpose of determining the date of the Mahabharata War.
